Viatu made my trip to South Africa unforgettable!
I traveled last year to Cape Town and added on a safari in Sabi Sands and to Viatu, everything was smooth and well-organized. Sabi Sands offered incredible wildlife sightings, and Cape Town's vibrant streets, coastal beauty, and lush winelands were a treat. I look forward to booking my next African adventure with them!

Looking for excellence in a tour operator? Search no more, Viatu has got you covered!
Viatu created an unforgettable holiday for us in Namibia. Everything was taken care of: a great rental car, excellent lodges, breathtaking locations and excellent food. The dunes, safari and the fantastic lodges were incredible. We enjoyed the trip driving ourselves for 2 weeks with our family.
Our personal highlight were the every day sunsets and the elephant safari in Camp Kipwe. We will definitely come back to Namibia again!

So much easier than I thought
Booking with Viatu was a breeze. We used one of the trip templates that was on their website and we customised it to our liking. For the check out we had a few questions. Our travel consultant Alessandro looked after us every step of the way. He even explained everything to me in Spanish which was very helpful as Africa can be complex. We were a bit concerned about the cancellation policies during the Omicron wave - especially since my friend and I arrived in South Africa from two different countries. That, however, was never an issue. The whole booking was flexible including hotels, car rental, safari lodge and our activities. Also, the whole digital travel itinerary turned out to be amazing. We didn't have any issues at all. Alessandro and his team recommended wonderful lodges and restaurants along the way.
We had many highlights but we particularly enjoyed the Mosaic Lagoon Lodge in Stanford near Hermanus. The staff was so lovely, the location incredible and the food to die for. The pineapple house in Cape Town, Seapoint was also a wonderful recommendation. The staff is so welcoming. Their design is refreshing and they make a huge effort to be sustainable in all aspects.
We absolutely loved our trip and can't wait for the next one! Thank you, Alessandro & Team Viatu.

We had a great trip with Viatu!
Viatu has very helpful staff. We could text message them via WhatsApp and got a response immediately. We appreciated the personal treatment.
Our daughter got sick right at the beginning of our trip and we were very happy with the help of our local guide from Viatu finding a doctor and stuff.

We had the most amazing time in South Africa and will book again holidays with Viatu!!
We booked our 3.5-week honeymoon with Viatu and it was simply wonderful!
From the start of the planning, the team helped us choose a perfect route with enough time to explore the places and they made a huge effort to book amazing hotels. Viatu also provided us a micropage with all the important things to know about our trip and also about the destination itself. This was very helpful to keep the overview of all the places to visit. Thank you very much again for the amazing organization! Thank you also for always being there for us when we had questions or needed tips. We felt in very good hands at all times!!

Most amazing Trip of a lifetime
My sister and I travelled for 3,5 weeks through namibia and South Africa and everything was perfectly planned and just amazing. They put us our perfect trip together in just a few weeks as we were traveling very spontaneously. The communication with viatu was wonderful and I could reach someone via WhatsApp anytime and they would be super helpful and quick with all my questions, recommendations for restaurants,bars, places to see….
We could ask anything!
The lodges and Hotels they choose for our trip all were excellent. Awesome food, rooms, lovely views and staff.

Mesmerizing Namibia - I'll be back
What can I say? We've had an absolute blast, traveling through Namibia. Soooo many good new memories!
We booked our trip a bit last minute but had amazing support from Viatu to get all the information in time. The recommended route was perfect and to be honest, I was a bit 'scared' of the long distances in between the spots as I've read a lot of blogs, etc. before. And I didn't want to sit 'just in the car'. But the route was planned so well and we ended up having one long drive, then some short drives and then a long drive again. So it was very well balanced.
My absolute highlight was the north around Hoanib / Shipwreck Coast and if I would have booked it myself, I wouldn't have gone there (due to distance and also as it is quite a challenge to organize it) so thanks for putting it on our itinerary :)
As I usually organize trips myself (haven't booked through an agency in years) I was a bit skeptical as I love my spontaneity/freedom. But now, as I was in Namibia and saw how many times we didn't have a proper (wifi) connection, I am super grateful we went with Viatu. It was so relaxed!

Understanding my needs as a traveler and always helpful
Me and my family have traveled several times with Viatu, and it has always been smooth and fulfilling all expectations. This time I went with a group of friends, and it was equally lovely. I really appreciate how they were able to sort out a day tour around the Cape Peninsula on very short notice l!

Good service and tight follow-up
We loved using the Viatu Trip Builder to design our holidays in South Africa. It was super easy and transparent. Our holidays were great and the few times we needed support our consultant Benoit was very quick and helpful. Upon our return from South Africa we received a carbon offset certificate which was very cool. Without any additional costs, they have offset our whole trip with a local project that supports the creation of boreholes in the region.
