Amazing
We went too the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park and had a total of 2,5 days with Safari. The guides were kind and made sure we had the best possible experience. We had an amazing time as a group and got too se everything we wanted.

Outstanding
From start to finish the process for booking and payment was made so easy.
It was a very well organized and amazing trip.
Our 2 guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We felt very safe at all times and very well looked after. The food prepared for us was delicious. The highlight was our amazing 2 days within Kruger park. We saw some amazing sights and of course the big 5 which we knew wasn’t guaranteed and we even saw 2 of the little 5 and 4 of the big 5 birds. The experience was one on my bucket list and it far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Eric as a guide to anyone I know. He kept us very at ease the whole time and always answered our questions and gave us time and patience to have an amazing experience. 5 star experience.

Fantastic experience
Really nice guides who gave me a really good experience. We were in the Ngorongoro crater which was amazing, before we drove to Serengeti.
We saw a lot of animals and the guide did what he could to make us see everything that we wanted to.

A truly once in a lifetime experience! Personal, well-executed tour, wonderful guide + operator
It has been my first time going on a safari and my friend's second time and both of us were really happy with the package. We took a 7 day tour through 4 different parks. Masai Mara was the absolute best! If we were to do this tour again, we would definitely spend a day or two more in that park. The amount of animals we saw in one day was mind-blowing! The other three parks (Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West) showed a great scenery and some had really nice accomodations (Severin Lodge was wonderful). Lake Naivasha was a bit underwhelming.
What made this safari especially memorable was our tour guide Jeremy in a jeep. He was doing a wonderful job showing us hidden spots off of the beaten track (2 lions just for us, no other cars around), explaining everything to us, answering all our questions (he has extensive knowledge about the Kenian wildlife), keeping us safe, well hydrated and entertained. Apart from that he is such a polite and interesting person and just really great to talk to and spend time with. Jeremy really made this safari a once in a lifetime experience for us.
Apart from that, the communication with Lewis upfront and adjusting the tour to our personal preferences worked out really well.
Safaris are expensive in general, but with this tour we felt that we got really great value for our money.
We would definitely recommend this tour operator.

Must to while in SAF - The best Kruger experience
The first week after arriving in Joburg I decided to do a 4-day tour in Kruger (as one of my lifelong wishes) And let me confess this to you - it was the best decision I've made so far and Viva Safari made it possible! I was in contact with Patti, and communication with her was excellent, she clarified everything upfront and explained all the details to me. And trust me - as the solo female traveler I had many questions :) Viva Safari driver picked me up from the hotel in Rosebank, the drive to Tremisana Lodge was comfortable and pleasant. I recommend this tour to all solo travelers as this is a very safe option and you get to meet other like-minded individuals, nobody feels alone. Even if you lose some item, the staff will do everything in their power to find and return it! Both accommodations (Tremisana and Tree House) were good value for money. The highlight of my trip was a visit to Kruger, we managed to see 4 of Big 5 and many other inhabitants of the Animal Kingdom, together with Casper - a great lion! Even though I am very pleased with 4-day tour, you can do it within 3 days w/o issues. Thank you Viva Safari for everything, I hope to repeat this experience - with you! :)

Amazing experience- super friendly staff and well organized- MATERUNI Waterfall+ ARUSHA Nationalpark
From the first moment on we felt welcome in this beautiful country. Even when we arrived at the airport our guide Eliis was waiting for us with a big smile. We connected easily and had so much fun together. Eliis was super flexible and arranged everything we have been requested for.
The Waterfall Tour started with a nice walk where Eliis explained about the landscape, sourrounding and traditions as well as some lessions in Swahili. We have been almost alone at the Waterfall and took the opportunity to make some nice photos and videos altogether.
Afterwards we moved on to the coffee farm where we experienced an interesting insight in the coffee making procedure. This activity was followed by a delicious lunch (vegatarian options available!!!).
Next day we did a trip to Arusha Nationalpark. This was the first stop before we started our 7 days Safari trip. Arusha Nationalpark is an ideal opener for the Safari trip and we would recommend to start your Safari with this park. You can see a lot of Giraffes very close and the landscape of the park is very nice. We had lunch at the view point where we also had enough time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere and silence. Eliis took us to some nice photo spots.
We would like to point out that the experience was so special because of Eliis. He is a rewarding person and has always a big smile on his face. It´s super funny to joke around with him. Thats why we enjoyed these trips so much!! Highly recommended.

Well done!
On April 12th I went on a guided tour with Kudu in the Victoria Falls Rainforest. And I enjoyed it: Kudu was a great guide who showed me the best places for photos and explained a lot. Highly recommended!

It was absolutely amazing. I had a great time and I will definitely go back. This was very fantastic
The best thing about Tanzania safaris is the food. The food is very cultural and it tastes amazing.

amazing adventure - 7 Day Safari Tour
We did the 7 Day-Safari Tour as a group of 6 persons.
Our guide Samwel was always very concerned about the well-being of all.
It was an incredibly beautiful adventure with many impressions and breathtaking experiences.
We spent 3 of 6 nights in tents. The tents and the campsite were really ok. The price-performance ratio was absolutely fine.
If you want something more luxurious, you can book accordingly.
We would highly recommand this tour.
