Fabulous experience
We have just returned from a fantastic safari in Tanzania (Nyerere tented camp). The overall experience was amazing. From the minute we landed in the bush we we very well taken care of with excellent food, accommodation, transport and tours. I did not expect to be able to get so close to the animals. The safari itself was exceptional. The people of Tanzania are very friendly and are always willing to help. I would not hesitate to go back again and would encourage anyone else thinking about it to try it.

Incredible experience, tremendous value
From the moment we left Johannesburg and made our way to the Greater Kruger Park area, we felt the familiar thrill of returning to a place that stirs something deep within us. The bush has a way of calling you back—and once again, it did not disappoint.
No sooner had we arrived to our Viva safari experience than we were off on our first game drive. It was immediate immersion. We witnessed the raw power of a leopard—his impala meal draped high in a tree, a stunning display of strength and survival. Not far off, we found him again, lounging in the branches, regal and relaxed, as if granting us a rare, personal audience. It was unforgettable.
As the sun dipped low, we were gifted one of the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve ever seen. The sky painted itself in warm, fiery hues—nature’s backdrop to the untamed beauty of the bush. Later that evening, we encountered a pride of lions intently watching a herd of water buffalo just beyond a game fence. The stare-down was intense. The buffalo, visibly agitated, held their ground. It was nature’s drama, unfolding before us.
Our days were filled with both game drives and bush walks—each one a masterclass in ecology. We learned so much, not only about the Big Five, but about the entire ecosystem, from industrious termites to vibrant birdlife. Every creature plays a role, and every moment taught us something new.

Review about Nyerere National Park by Mrs Lynne Ismail
Fantastic area. Well looked after and exceptional experience with all of the animals. Our guide was an amazing driver and very knowledgeable about the park and it's animals.

So helpful and well organised!
We had an incredible time from start to finish. 54 days starting in Kenya, ending in Zimbabwe. Marijnke was a star! Could not recommend African Travels more, they were so helpful at every point along the journey. I even ended up sick at one point and had to visit a hospital along the way and African Travels did everything in their power to help us rejoin the group safely and were so caring and supportive during this time. Fantastic company, and incredible trip. 10/10 would recommend.

Professional, organised and friendly Budget safari agent
Diana was very helpful with supplying information and answering our questions when we were first looking at booking a safari. We decided to book a 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari with her, and absolutely loved the experience. This is a budget safari so there was camping and 2 busses involved, but we were very happy with the price, and what we got for that. Our guides were very professional and did a great job at locating wildlife, and being patient until we were ready to move on. The 4WD (not a van) was reliable and comfortable, and the accommodation was always clean and pleasant. We camped for 2 nights in Tanzania which was a great experience. We could hear the buffalo munching on grass right outside our tent as we lay in our beds. I would recommend taking your own inner sheet though, to use with the sleeping bags provided. My partner and I eat a vegan diet, which was usually fine as the buffet always had many options. But I was very pleased with the extra effort the staff made for us when we had packed lunches. The food was great, even for vegans ;) Overall, it was an incredible safari! We were very happy with how it all went and were very happy with Diana's guidance, quick responses and professionalism. For a "budget" safari option, she really went the extra mile to make sure we were looked after and happy. We would also highly recommend the hot balloon over the Masai mara. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip!

An amazing adventure from start to finish
I can’t say enough about this whole operation. From start to finish e ruined made this experience seem less. The booking was smooth, Maryann was extremely helpful and friendly.
When we arrived our guide Willy was friendly and kind. He played awesome reggae music for us the whole drive to the preserve. He was extremely knowledgeable and catered to all our needs.
The staff at the resort takes all pressure off of your shoulders and anticipates all your needs.
The food was amazing and the staff is so nice.
Stephen, Cynthia and Wilson went out of their way to accommodate anything we wanted.
The wieght of the world rolls off your shoulders at this place. I can’t say enough about everything. If we ever return to Kenya- this is where we will be returning! A million thanks!!!

Excellent company
With my brother Moses as our guide, everything went so smoothly. Was truly spectacular. We saw all the animals, the big 5, ugly 5, and tons of birds and everything else. Moses was an excellent driver and really taught us about everything. He had answers to all the questions. It was really worth it. Would 1000% recommend.
Perfect in creating my memory that will remain in to remember

Phenomenal trip from start the finish
My family and I climbed Kilimanjaro and then did a safari trip. Our guides were amazing! Huge shout out to Epa, Kim and Christoffer as well as all our amazing porters and cooks. It was an incredible journey and we felt very well taken care of. I was pleasantly surprised about all of the thought and detail that went into getting us up safe and sound. We came back and then had a safari tour. The landscapes were amazing. I think our guide was pretty quiet and we felt like we could have received more information about what we were seeing and where we were.
Overall it was an amazing trip and I couldn’t recommend it more.
