Amazing bucket list experience
I had a unique opportunity to travel solo for the first time in many years, and decided to use it on a bucket list trip. I had always wanted to do a safari. I found Viva Safaris online and was impressed from the get go by their responsiveness and flexibility. The on the ground experience also impressed. I was advised that Jo'burg was a 'fly over' city. I spent a single night at an airport hotel upon arrival, and was picked up the safari operator the next morning. The overland trip to the Kruger area took several hours but was a chance to see the countryside and meet my fellow travelers. By the time I arrived at the lodge, I had new friends and felt a real sense of community. I did the 6-day safari - which was (honestly) a tiny bit too long. I saw every kind of wildlife, the guides were fantastic, and the staff at the lodge went above and beyond to accommodate my restricted diet (vegetarian, celiac). I would highly recommend Viva Safaris and would also suggest beginning your South African adventure on safari as it's a really great way to meet people. Indeed, when I went on to Cape Town and wine country I was able to reconnect with people I had met on safari. My highlights were the safari, hiking in Cape Town (and the food!!!), and an epic mountain biking experience in wine country.

i would recommend my whole family line, to my great grand children
i used this tour company for my honey moon and trust me as a person who was arranging my wedding i did not want any thing else to disturb my arrangements however on meeting Mr. Ronnie the operator he took me through there programs and he was able to adjust depenpending on my needs and Mr. Chris the tour guide was amazing, he had to go an extra mile and look for chimpaze as my wife badly wanted to see and give a banana, he had alot of knowledge and information that made the whole tour amazing, not forgeting to talk about the hotels they booked for me, my lord Kalya courts was what i had not expected in such a place, truly i felt value for my money. i would recomend Zootopia Game Drives to any one who would wish to tour uganda, East Africa or probably the world, they are the best.

A Memorable Beach Getaway at Neptune Village Hotel in Diani
My husband and I had an incredible beach holiday experience with our friends at Neptune Village, Diani, thanks to ZAF Tours. The hotel is located in a beautiful spot overlooking the Indian Ocean, and the beach is just a few steps away. The staff at the hotel were welcoming, friendly and provided top-notch service throughout my stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The food at the hotel's restaurants was fantastic and there was a good variety of options. ZAF Tours made the booking process easy and organized various activities during my stay. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday and I would highly recommend ZAF Tours and Neptune Village.

Unforgettable safari at Masai Mara National Reserve & Hike to Mt. Lonngonot
We've been on a 3-day trip to Masai Mara National Reserve & Mount Longonot. Our tour guide Dennis was very kind and made a huge effort to give us a really great experience! He made sure we could see as many different animals as possible and shared a lot of facts and knowledge about the animals with us. As a huge cat fan, I almost cried while facing lions, cheetahs and even a leopard. We saw a lot of things and had a whole adventure, especially because it rained when we started our first Safari trip. The roads were a bit bumpy from time to time and we got covered in mud, but as scouts we didn't care, we actually rather enjoyed it. We even got stuck in the mud two times, but there were many helpful people there to pul us out. A whole adventure!! Also the boat safari at Lake Naivashi was great.
For the Hike to Mount Longonot we had a different guide, Daniel, who took real good care of us, especially because I was suffering from dizzines, but he would keep encouraging me so I could finish the hike around the crater.
After the hike Dennis made sure we could take a shower before bringing us to the airport safely through rush hour. Asante sana!!! It was a real pleasure!

Solved all my time issues perfectly. Very nice an friendly.
I booked a 3-day safari. All my wishes were taken into account. The safari exceeded my expectations significantly. It was as beautiful as all those great photos on the internet, but in person.

Wonderful, excellent and Great Safari Experience.”” Life Long Memory.
“” Wonderful, excellent and Great Safari Experience.”” Life Long Memory.
This is my second trip to Tanzania. Compared to the last one, wildlife’s are the same, but the safari experience is dramatically enhanced. The vehicle was new, spacious and very comfortable. The camps, Hotel and lodges are clean, comfortable and in perfect locations.
Our Guide James is super friendly and helpful. He tried his best to help us see all the animals we wanted to see, and he made it! We saw Lion prides, elephant herds, leopards, different antelopes. We even saw a cheetah hunt twice! On the tour, James explained carefully about the habitats of animals, and other useful and interesting knowledge. We learned a lot from him. Literally speaking, James made our dreams come true.
The memory with him will definitely be cherished in a lifelong time! At the same time, I would like to thank one of the staff at Full Package Adventures Faraja, who gave us the most professional and reasonable trip advices, and made the best itinerary plan for us.
Thank you, James and Faraja. Thank you, Full Package Adventures. Highly recommended!

Jeff was the best tour operator, he made our trip excellent.
Everithing was easy with Jocky Tours. The communication is excellent, every questions get answered. The paying method was easy. Jeff, the tour operator was at the hotel in time. He helped us a lot. The way from Nairobi to Maasai Mara was 5 hours, but we stopped more times to rest or eat. The safari started before the check-in because of traffic jam, but it was perfect for us. We have seen lots of animals in April (off-season), and there weren't too much safari cars in the park. The one night tent accomodation was great. Food was enough and good. On the second daily, we started with a 4 hour safari before going back to Nairobi. We were lucky, because we saw leopard, lions and cheetahs as well. For this money, I think it's definitely worth it.
