Safari surprises every day
We had a fantastic trip to Kruger National Park with Viva Safaris, with two destinations and therefore different experiences in each. We received superb hospitality, good, clean accommodation and they even catered for vegetarians and vegans.
The safari tours were well structured and informative and most of all, great fun. Some days the animals were quite determined not to be seen but the expert guides always found them in the end! The safari vehicles offered great views and shelter from the sun and we were never overcrowded. We also had bush walks (sturdy shoes/boots recommended) which were so enjoyable too.
Overall, the experiences we had were amazing and we hope to return in the future and would definitely use Viva Safaris again. They surpassed expectations on every level.

A 3 day safari through 3 national parks.
We were met by Foot Slopes' Gabriel upon arriving in Arusha. He was immediately warm and friendly, and very helpful. He gave freely of his time, even spending an evening out in town with my husband and myself and another couple. He helped us navigate the troublesome banking system, and advised us of a bus we could take on our way out of Arusha.
The 3 day safari was a little different than we expected, in that we were shuffled around into different groups with different drivers for each of the 3 days, however we understood that this was the most effective way to use drivers and vehicles to the maximum. We saw many animals and very much enjoyed the tour. The food was plentiful and dining with the large group of tourists in the evenings was very enjoyable.

Relaxed, hassle free booking.....awesome knowledgeable safari guide......great cook
Communication with Andrew in arranging the safari was rwally goid. We had lots of littl, irritating questions that he always took time to answer.
Our guide and cook were great especially with our two young kids.
We clocked up 4 of the big 5 in our first day (!) and always returned to camp to find a great meal waiting for us.

A great personalized tour of Masai Mara
We had a great trip, our guide Ken was very knowledgeable. He picked this up in the city at our hotel and served as our guide in the park as well. He is a great tracker and we had a great time. We would definitely recommend this service.

Chacha's team was very energetic and committed.
My wife and I had a safari(5 days) and climbed the Kilimanjaro( 3 days short trekking). We made a reservation through the internet. They reponded to my every email kindly .We were concerned if Chacha would show up. Because we read a few of bad rumors about small companies. They greeted us at the airport in time. Our trips went as well as expected.

Great Place for Wildlife Viewing
Interesting combination of bush and water allows the viewing of a large variety of wildlife. Some of the tracks are "iffy" requiring a certain 4x4 driving skill. One very negative experience was the sightin of a leopard, when our guide reported it to his colleagues from our lodge on a supposedly "private frequency" a total of 14 vehicles, 12 of them either from other lodges or self-drive descended on the place jostling for the best view.

Experience about my visit to Nairobi with Kichaka Tours and Travel
One fine day I arrived in Nairobi & Mr. Stephen one of the representative of Kichaka Tours was there to receive me. Then he drove me to Nairobi city where I met Mr. John who was professional safari driver cum guide of our group. So Mr. John drove us to Masai mara what was about 6 hours jorney from Nairobi city. On the way we saw interesting sight seenings & by the time we arrived to Masai mara it was evening already. After checking-in in the camp we proceeded for safari was experiencing senset view of masai mara what was in amazing experience. Then next morning we went for game drive what was suppose to be whole day in the park, so everything went accordingly & we had so much of fun looking around animals, greenery, nice weather, rivers & mountains. After spending whole day in park we came back & had dinner at the camp. Next morning we checked out from camp & went for experiencing the sun rise in the park what was another beautiful experience. After experiencing sun rise we proceeded back to Nairobi city to our destinations. Over all it was a wonderful experience exploring Nairobi with Kichaka Tours & I will recommend them to who ever is traveling to Nairobi. Best regards!
