Trip of a life time
Our safari in Tanzania was honestly a trip we will never forget.
From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organised, and the whole experience was made even more special by our incredible guide. His knowledge, patience and passion for the wildlife really made the safari come alive. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, as well as so many other amazing animals in their natural environment.
Being out in the Serengeti is something that is difficult to put into words. Seeing the animals roaming freely, watching the landscapes change around us, and experiencing those unforgettable moments so close to nature was absolutely breathtaking.
What really stood out to us was how personal the experience felt. It never felt rushed, and our guide always took the time to make sure we got the best possible experience and understood what we were seeing.
This was a true bucket-list trip for us, and it exceeded our expectations. We came home with some incredible memories, hundreds of photographs and stories that we’ll be talking about for years to come.
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone thinking about visiting Tanzania. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience from beginning to end. 🐘🦁❤️

Caring and authentic
Both the tour guide and the tour operator were excellent in communication. My tour guide took great care of me. He noticed small details of what I was interested in and made plan accordingly. I got to know the culture in depth through the conversations with him. I did the gorilla trekking and the cultural village as part of the tour. I highly recommend both.

I booked a great migration 3 night 4 days Masai Mara safari with Abbey of Lush African Safaris 15 months ago, paid $4700 in full 8 months ago. It is for my 50th birthday and our honeymoon.
Today, 7 days prior to travel, I’ve received an email from a lawyer in Uganda stating a 3rd party has disappeared with some of the money we have paid.
We have 4 options.
1-proceed with the original safari but pay an additional $3500
2-reschedule at no extra cost. Obviously not an option as we have international flights and a add on in Zanzibar booked
3-use an alternative tour operator at our own cost
4-request a refund but it states they are putting the company into bankruptcy so this process may involve delays
All options are unacceptable. Also as they haven’t actually filed for bankruptcy we can’t claim on our travel insurance. So we have lost £3500 and it’s ruined our honeymoon

It was Always ready to fulfil our requests
We stayed in Kenya for seven days between Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. The lodge were Typical and welcoming and safari was a wonderful experience under the guidance of Kish, our driver; he’s kind, funny and well prepared to explain the world of savannah
Very kind , bubbly and knowledgeable
We had Janet Ncube as our tour guide for the falls and she was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, hospitable, kind, and supported us throughout our entire Vic Falls visit.
She went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed the visit and supported us in everything we needed.
I would 1000% recommend her to anyone and any day. The best tour guide we have ever had on all our travels worldwide.

Always available and quick to answer questions
We had a very great 5 day safari with "Life Journey Experience", our guide had a lot of experience and was able to show us all big animals that you can see in the national parks. Our tour manager was always available via WhatsApp, answered quick and arranged everything we needed. The tour in general was great value for money and lacked of nothing in comparison to the the more expensive "bigger" tour operators. We would definitely recommend.

“More than just a tour operator, a team that makes you feel welcomed, cared for and at home
Home isn’t always the place you return to. Sometimes, it’s a place far away that welcomes you, moves you, and, for a few days, simply makes you feel “at home.” ❤️
For me, that’s exactly what my experience in Tanzania was.
We entrusted Serenland with our 6-day family safari through the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro, and we couldn’t have wished for anything better.
Exciting game drives discovering the wonders of nature, beautiful lodges immersed in the parks, where we could wake up to spectacular sunrises and fall asleep surrounded by the sounds of the savannah, the warm hospitality of the local people, and breathtaking landscapes.
We were incredibly lucky to witness moments that we will carry in our hearts forever: the great migration of wildebeest and zebras, the Big Five, leopards curled up in the trees, lionesses with their cubs, and cheetahs in the middle of the hunt.
A very special thank you to our guide, John, who accompanied us on this unforgettable journey with extraordinary professionalism, kindness and care, and with a truly contagious passion for his land and his work.
Hakuna Matata… and hopefully, see you again soon. ❤️🇹🇿
Thank you for everything and for making this journey so unforgettable!

The tour operator provided us with a memorable safari experience that was perfect for our family.
From the very outset, our experience with Viega Expeditions was absolutely incredible. Every single activity- from the thrilling game drives to the scenic breakfasts hosted right in the heart of the national park and the breath-taking sunset experiences- was planned and coordinated exceptionally well.
A special thanks must go to Rodgers and Thomas, who both did an outstanding job making sure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. Both were so friendly and made our safari experience unforgettable. We initially met with Rodgers, who debriefed us about our plan. His excellent communication with us ensured that we knew exactly what was going to happen, providing us with a sense of comfort that lasted the entire trip.
Thomas- our outstanding tour guide- was an excellent driver and navigated both Amboseli and Masai Mara National Parks with brilliance, providing us with facts about every single animal- from the Big 5 all the way to the smallest birds. His knowledge and passion about the landscape and the animals instilled in our family a love for wildlife and conservation.
I highly recommend booking with Viega Expeditions if you want a stress-free, professional, and deeply memorable safari adventure!

Excellent
Our group comprised two retired couples (age 68 to 76) from Canada. Donant was promptly responsive and answered all questions and made sure that all our needs were accomodated. Two of us are vegetarian and we were looked after food wise. Our tour guide & driver in Tanzania, Abu Prince was fantastic. We saw five National parks: Tarangire, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Abus spent driving and taking us around for six days. He is extremely knowledgable about the geography, topography, ecological systems in each park, birds, animlas, their behaviours and migration patterns. He was able to clearly explain many of these things ahead of time before our visit to each park, so we knew exactly what to expect and what to see. We saw all animals in their natural habitats. Abu had a keen eye and knew where the animals would be, and constatly communicated with other tour guides to spot and see animals. We saw lots of girrafs, zebras, wilderbeasts, all kinds of antelops, birds, vultures, elephants, and importantly several lion prides. We also managed to see the Marra River crossing by wilderbeests, and it was amazing scene. Staying in tents for three nights was also an amazing experience where we could hear animals at night. These tents are quite comfortable with mosquito nets, hot and cold water and toilets. We were apprehensive about staying in such structures, but it is a quite safe, comfortable and once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also visited Amboselli National Park in Kenya and stayed in a lodge which was also similar experience as we had in Tanzania. We would stronly recommend Rioba if you are planning to go for Safari in Tanzania. They will be able to accomodate all of your needs and advise you what to do and how to go about it.
