Perfect!
Everything about our trip with Vayeni was top notch. I had many questions prior to the trip, and Suzanne answered all of them clearly and promptly. She was a real help in the process of putting our trip together. The package she put together was absolutely seamless with an outstanding safari experience and incredible lodging in Victoria Falls. This was a trip of a lifetime for us, and Vayeni provided the perfect experience. I highly recommend you choose them to put your trip together!

In good and responsive hands
I went through Vayeni for a trip with friends to Zimbabwe, involving Harare and Victoria Falls. They were very responsive to our questions and comments, and offered alternative options according to our taste, budget, and changing number of people. They corrected quickly a situation that happened in Victoria Falls with our accommodation when we arrived late one night, and were afraid we would be missing a room and the micro light tour over the falls we had booked. Overnight, everything was settled and the stay went smoothly, in a very nice B&B, and we enjoyed all of our activities. I would hire them again!

Very efficient, accommodative and quick communication. Excellent packages.
service is fantastic. They have some fantastic packages and competitive prices. Their communication is fantastic and very quick.
For payments I was worried because I had to do a bank transferr. However everything went smoothly and I got the confirmations within a couple of days with the itinerary and vouchers. The whole trip went smooth and without any delays.
They will help cater to your demands in terms of organising the trip. Very accommodating.

Professional, Helpful and Informative
We travelled to Victoria Falls with Vayeni. Tara, who was our Vayeni representative was extremely helpful throughout the booking process, she was very informative and provided us with her own views on the various accomodation available throughout Victoria Falls. In addition she had recently visited the various accomodation so was able to provide us with a first hand account of what we could expect.
Through Tara, we booked the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge and it certainly lived up to our expectations. It is very beautiful, the rooms were spacious and very clean with all the amenities one would expect. Having breakfast whilst overlooking the watering hole, was very enjoyable as one was easily captured by the various animals coming to the watering hole.
Vayeni (Tara) also provided us with suggestions as to what to do whilst in Victoria Falls and whilst we did not book any further activities through Vayeni as we wanted to see how we felt when at the Fall, the information provided was very useful once we had arrived.
All told, Vayeni and especially Tara in this instance could not have been more helpful in ensuring we had a fantastic and very memorable time in Victoria Falls.

My family and I spent a month traveling through Zimbabwe and were supported by Vayeni.
Vayeni are very knowledgeable about the country, creative, responsive and flexible to their clients' different needs. In addition to the safaris, which were world class, they helped us to discover other parts of the country such as Bulawayo, the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the Eastern Highlands. Having travelled through 14 African countries in the past year, Zimbabwe was definitely the highlight of our African odyssey.
Kelley Austen organised us a Fab. trip to Great Zimbabwe and the Chilo Lodge at Gonarezhou
A very well organised, no hassle trip to two amazing areas of Zimbabwe, thank you!

They made my Dream Wedding come true
Susan and Luke are two of the most incredible people we have met. Even tho they are not wedding coordinators they helped with every aspect of our wedding in a very very remote area, Bumi Hills in Kariba, Zimbabwe. At the time we where living in Buenos Aries organizing for Americans, British, South African and Zimbabwean friends and Family to come share our special day. We could never have done it without Susan! she was my rock and every person who came to the wedding still talks about how wonderful a time and how amazing Vayeni was. We recommend them to everyone we meet who wants to Travel!
Thanks for everything Vayeni and thank you for making our Dream Wedding come true.

Holiday in Zimbabwe: Mana Pools, Hwange and Victoria Falls
We wish to thank Suzanne and Luke so much for organizing our trip in Zimbabwe, for we had a fantastic time walking in the wild, following footprints, running into wild animals, canoing in the upper and lower Zambesi, a.s.o.
The main difference between the experience of the safari in Zimbabwe and other African countries we visited before is that here we have been feeling in the bush more like players rather than onlookers.
It was surprising and adventurous (we had indeed great experiences!!) even though we always felt safe thanks to our skilled guides.
We also wish to thank Suzanne and Luke for taking so good care of us, meeting us at the airport and at the hotel before the departure. We will certainly come back in the near future !
