MangiEmpire Tours
Great organization, Great adventure in Mikumi National Park!!
I‘ received several quotes from different Safari tour providers, but finally I chose Mangi EMPIRE Tours over the other 5 companies. This Company was answering very fast, provides smooth and clear itinerary with a reasonable price tag.
Communication was exceptional from the inquiry stage until when we landed back home.
There was consistent emails/whats-apps to let me know of the plans and they were very understanding answering all my questions.
This company was great at arranging everything even down to someone collecting us from the airport that also provided us with assurance and allowed us to pay before the day.
Our driver was funny and arrived promptly early morning after breakfast at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam to collect us ready for the tour. He provided us with snacks for the journey that were so needed so early in the morning!
Our safari instructor was phenomenal and his knowledge was beyond the average, we had a great 3 days with him in Mikumi National Park. And due to his wealth of knowledge he knew the park so well and we were able to see lions on the hunt, pythons, lion cubs and even porcupine needles that we would've never seen.
The hotel picked for our accommodation was amazing and was definitely an experience with a great safari feel.
The team here did a great job and would definitely recommend to all.

Once in a lifetime experience!
It was a great experience! We didn't expect to see so many animals. To begin with, the safari itself is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We even saw baby elephants and lions. And a lot of zebras. Our driver, Mandela, was always scanning the site for animals and he was able to spot them easily! He was also a great driver! Our chef, Pius, was also great as he could cook nice food under difficult-cooking conditions!
As it is a safari, you must be prepared to leave your confort at home for the majority of the days (we stayed in tents for 2 nights and 1 in a nice lodge). Food, accomodation, taxi from the airport to the hostel (before and after the safari) and from the hostel to the airport was included.

Perfectly organized trip!
Kind owner (Tunu) organized our trip from the beginning to the end a we were very satisfied. The guide (Alfa) was also great and he showed us a lot of animals. It is hard to imagine a better holiday.

Great guide, but lack of communication from Office to the guide
My Mom and I were very happy with our guide, Kikito, but we weren’t very impressed with the amount of time we had to wait on connecting vans and also the fact that we on our last day had to make Kikito aware that we had a flight to catch in the evening from Nairobi. So all of a sudden we had to be rushed in a separate car to the airport. Not very professional and very stressful.
Also, the van seats were very uncomfortable. Besides that it was good and we enjoyed especially Nakuru National Park and the food at Lanet Matfam Resort was amazing

Well organised,excellent guides/staff,good accommodation
From the moment we inquired about a Safari Holiday with Viva Safaris everything was taken care of, cannot recommend them enough, if you're looking for a Safari in the Kruger,look no further than Viva Safaris

It was great!
It was really a great experience being three days on the way in the beautiful landscape of Kenya and already on the way to the safari we saw a lot of different animals.
Thanks a lot to the driver Maxwell,
he drive us safe to all places and told us a lot about the animals on the safari. Also teaching us a lot of being patient, in the wildness sometimes you see a lot of animals, sometimes the animals are hidden very well, then it’s the best time to enjoy the drive, the landscape and the good company of the group.
And thanks so much to Lilian for the great Organisation, and having a lot of patience answering all questions.

Best week of my life! Asante Tazama!
Have a blast thanks to Tazama! The whole experience was so amazing, since day one till the last day. Even before arriving to Nairobi, Antony was really kind and always answering my questions, doesn´t matter the time. We had to change hotel in Samburu because of the flood, but Antony booked for us a better hotel with no extra charge! But now going to the experience, e and my girlfriend had the best 7 days of our life. We had the best guide ever, Alex, he was such a good driver, good guide and he knows everything about the animals and from Kenya... but when I say everything, it´s everything! Now I know that they are more than one tipe of giraffe, funny but true. All the driving, the accommodations, the visit to the villages, everything that Tazama provided us, was first class. And now I´m already getting a quote to come back for great migration, and of course with TAZAMA. I know you have many companies in Kenya, but choose this one and I promise you, you won´t regret it.
Antony and Alex and everyone in Tazama, asante and hope to see u soon!

Spectacular experience with Suricata -100% recommend!
We had a 2 night, 3 day safari by Suricata in the Serengeti and Ngorongroro. It was the experience of a lifetime ! I highly recommend a tour with Suricata because it was o easy to plan and they are super friendly and accommodating with special requests.
Hillary was very responsive on communications and answered every question we had.
Our guide and driver Lewis was excellent and really experienced. He was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the parks. Our chef Salim was an exceptional cook- he made a range of salads and pastas and pizzas- all freshly made and tailored to our vegetarian preferences. The camp sites were great. Clean tents, mattresses and sleeping bags and it was really is a unique experience to camp under the stars in the Serengeti. The communal bathrooms were clean with running water and one even had warm water for showers. Lewis was always thoughtful about making sure we had regular stops for the bathroom and getting some quick refreshments.
The entire trip was so memorable from seeing lions up close, watching the great migration of wilderbeast and zebra and the gorgeous giraffes and zebras.
Stunning landscape and scenery. The Savanna grasslands are truly a gift of nature and organising a trip with Suricata will allow you to witness this.

Great 7 days Safari trip
We were 4 of us and did a six day safari with Sino Africa Safari and the whole experience was amazing. The nature and animal kingdom is so different from the society we live in, and it is just amazing. We saw the big 5 and special 5 and the endless plain is a real experience in Africa! Recommend them to anybody!
