Extremely kind, amazing experience
5/5

Everything was taken care off to perfection. At our last day of our travel experience, unfortunately our flight got cancelled. Luckily, we could easily change the return location of our car to save some time. Also, there was a hick-up during check-out at our hotel (some remaining fee which was to be paid). The colleagues at viatu were easily accessible and immediately solved the problem!

True Holiday and Adventure Experts
5/5

Our experience with Team Viatu was excellent!!

From the start, Simone made us believe that she could put up a memorable trip within the short period we gave her to prepare. And true to her word, Viatu discussed with us every detail of the proposed trip to the point of our approval.

You made us so comfortable with the plan and we couldn't wait to embark on our Namibian Adventure. The trip itinerary as designed by Viatu exceeded our expectations when we begun walking through it upon arrival and departure from Namibia.

Viatu was with us throughout our Namibian Adventure (through Rea) and on hand to receive any of our requests while on the trip. We are now onto another Viatu-propelled adventure into other territories.

Thank you Simone and team Viatu. This is just the beginning of our many adventures together.

Dedicated experts
5/5

I don't usually book anything through travel agencies. But for my Namibia trip I felt that I needed some local expertise for my tailor-made trip. I had spoken to 1-2 other agencies at first but didn't feel that they understood my needs at all or couldn't provide solutions that were accustomed to my specific needs. Then I found Viatu and Alexandra was amazing at giving me the type of insights I needed. I was very keen and willing to do a lot of self-driving each day in order to view as many spots as possible to do my photography. Everything went smoothly and all the accommodations were amazing. The TravelKey app was super helpful to keep track of the accommodations and where to head next.
Viatu feels like a modern travel agency I can highly recommend it!

Wonderful Namibian Experience
5/5

We had a wonderful experience through Viatu travelling across Namibia. We were able to travel with confidence and ease; we were able to show up to each location and have everything already sorted for us. We would not have been able to have the same experience and see all we did in our time in Namibia without the help of Viatu. Any time we were in contact it was prompt and helpful. Could not recommend this experience enough.

Making dreams come true
5/5

Viatu truly went above and beyond to organize our unforgettable gorilla experience and safari. Despite my short-notice request, they flawlessly put together the perfect itinerary at lightning speed, considering every adjustment or question with care.

Not only did they stay well below our budget, but they also provided incredible services and accommodations – we were even surprised with a free upgrade! They took great care that all our food allergies and preferences were catered for, ensuring a wonderful dining experience. Any minor unclear details were quickly resolved, with our travel advisor available and responsive around the clock and providing full support. Their hassle-free communication tools, including the website and app, made it easy to follow every step of our journey and transitions along the trip, showcasing their outstanding attention to detail.

Viatu’s choice of partners reflects their sustainability philosophy, making it ideal for eco-conscious travelers. From natural toiletries in the hotels and farm-to-table meals to tips on traveling responsibly and carbon compensation, their commitment to responsible travel was evident in every aspect. How wonderful, that there is a provider out there, that so perfectly aligns adventure and luxury with caring for the communities and places one travels to.

Viatu made my bucket-list dream come true – swiftly, sustainably, and with unbeatable value and support. Highly recommended, I cannot wait for my next adventure with them!

Our trip to South Africa was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, Viatu customized the entire trip to suit our needs and preferences, ensuring every detail was perfect. Throughout the planning and the trip, the staff was friendly, professional, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of.

The highlight of our trip was the safari, where we experienced the most amazing wildlife. The lodge was beautiful, with breathtaking sunsets that added to the magic of our stay. Viatu provided exceptional service, flexibility, and absolute reliability throughout the entire journey. We highly recommend Viatu to anyone seeking an unforgettable, customized adventure!

Wonderful tailor made experience
5/5

We had an amazing 3 days safari trip to mFulaWozi private resort. It was a perfect choice for us in terms of accessibility and hotel size, which Viatu perfectly tailored for us, helping with both the accommodation and transport to the resort from Cape Town. It was incredibly nice lodge, very stylish, safe, with incredible staff. And we fell in love with our safari driver Khaya :-) So looking forward to explore more with Viatu in next years.
