This is the people you want to go on a safari with! No doubt.
Look no further, this is the company you want to make your safari dreams come true. We thoroughly researched all the options available and concluded Wildebeest safaris was the best for us. This decision proved to be the best we could have taken.
The arduous task of planning a trip to Africa was made easier once we got in contact with Noah. He created a tailored trip for us with the most practical itinerary and the best prices.
The accommodation selection was a pleasant surprise, may I recommend visiting Zebra Plains and Emabalakia Camp as this are a delightful memory to reminisce back to.
We encountered payment problems with our bank which prevented us from being able to liquidate the total of the safari, and in this aspect I MUST remark Noah was beyond comprehensive and helpful, he actively provided solutions and overall was patient while we figured out the way to make payment arrive. He never threatened to cut the safari short and the treatment we received was the same from start until payment was finalized.
This is something I really appreciate as speaks of his professionalism.
Another very important thing to remark is the quality of drivers he has taken under his wing. Dennis was a one-of-a kind safari guide. his extensive knowledge of the animals and their behavioral traits made an even more pleasant experience, he also many times went out of the way to get us as close to the animals as possible. We grew fond of Dennis and hope we can keep in touch with him!
Our other driver was Hamsa, a very experienced driver in Tanzania that was also beyond knowledgeable and furthermore had an amazing eye for photography, he understands lighting and position and this proved amazing as we are now seeing the photos we took.
Overall this experience was a 10/10
I would recommend all my friends to go with wildebeest without a doubt.
I encourage you to take on the safari challenges just make sure you have wildebeest by your side!

A perfect safari week!
Our safari was expertly planned by Dancing Zebra Safari and their guides Ian and Edson made our family’s trip unforgettable. They made sure we saw “the big five” and so much more. Ian even found our cell phone in the middle of the Serengeti after backtracking to figure out where it had gone missing…a miracle and a testament to his amazing client service! We had spectacular accommodations at both Lemala Ewamjan and Nanyukie. The food was excellent and the staff were so warm and attentive. We didn’t want to leave when it was time to go home.

MoAfrika was efficient and helpful, made sure that I have the best time.
Had the loveliest time with MoAfrika! They made sure that I got everything I needed, from transport transfers to accommodations. Booking process was also smooth, was so patient in answering all my questions and concerns prior to the trip. Doing this safari trip had been a dream for me so thank you, MoAfrika for arranging this trip! I also booked a Johannesburg day trip with them and it did not disappoint either! Kudos to my tour guide on that day, Cosmos! He was kind, patient and knowledgeable on the goings on of the city, teaching me the rich history of South Africa. Baie dankie vir alles!

Well arranged and organized
I booked the 4 days and 3 nights safari (masai mara & lake nakuru) but I decided to extended one more night since everything was perfect so I did the Hell’s Gate Experience as well. Nothing much trouble, our Tour Guide Solomon had a big contribution for this wonderful experience due to his professionalism and knowledge. Will definitely recommmend.

Excellent and amazing safari experience!
Viva Safaris gave my family of four (two children ages 18 & 14) an unforgettable safari! From start to finish it was absolutely amazing. I don't even know where to begin, but we had such a wonderful experience. All I can say is if you're planning a safari in South Africa, don't hesitate booking with Viva Safaris.
Viva was easy to book with and quickly responded to a few of the questions I had when planning. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Joburg which was very convenient. We chose the 4 day/3 night Tremisana Lodge because it provided a nice mix of safari adventures including the bush walk, multiple game drives on the surrounding reserves, and a full day at Kruger National Park. Just an hour after arriving to the lodge, we were already on a sunset game drive which ended with a delicious bush braai - cookout/bbq dinner in the bush!
We had our own chalet which slept the four of us comfortably. The grounds on the lodge were nice and had plenty of areas to find a place to relax and take in the views. We were constantly fed - breakfast every morning, lunches and dinners. We were never hungry! Even during our bush walk, we were given a little baggie with an apple and crackers, which I though was a nice touch. We were given bottles of water here and there as well, including on arrival. My wife and I enjoyed a few drinks from the bar for dinner or after dinner on each day. Some of the others we met during our safari also stayed at Marc's Treehouse or the luxury lodge and said they enjoyed those too. We chose to only stay at Tremisana for the four days just so we didn't have to keep unpacking/packing, etc.
The most special part of our stay were all the Viva Safaris employees we interacted with. Everyone there (and I mean everyone) from the kitchen staff to all of the guides that took us on our game drives, and the ones I met at the lodge (who we didn't drive with) were awesome! That truly made our experience and stay special - genuinely great people who we'll miss.
And speaking of the safari guides, our unforgettable safari experience is probably all owed to them! We rode with George, Rocky, Victor, and unfortunately, I can't remember the names of our two guides on our first night, but all of them were great! They were informative, funny, and made sure all of us were being taken care of on all the game drives. My family and I thank them so much for such a great experience!!
And lastly, we were able to see the Big 5 and just about every other animal that you would expect to see on an African safari. It's weird because at times it seems like you can be driving around for hours and see nothing, but then all of a sudden you start seeing animals everywhere! Spending a full day at Kruger N.P. greatly enhances your chances of spotting a diverse group of wildlife.
Some of our safari highlights:
- Seeing two black rhinos during our bush walk!
- At Kruger, seeing a leopard resting in a tree with his half eaten impala hanging on the
branch in front of him - only to find out later we were approximately 5 km from
Mozambique!
- The entertaining monkeys at the lodge
- Seeing a lion to complete our Big 5 on the final morning, the sunrise drive before
heading back to Joburg. Saw the male lion and two cubs only about 5-10 minutes from
our lodge! Shortly afterwards, we found ourselves in the middle of a herd of
elephants. Very close to them, big and small. And to think this was (again) our last
game drive before saying our goodbyes. Talk about putting the icing on the cake of
an incredible safari!
I'm sure there are many other great safari companies in South Africa, but all I can say again is my family and I truly enjoyed our safari with Viva Safaris. I can't imagine another better all-around safari experience than the one we just had!

Very professional agency with friendly and helpful staff
I had a great experience touring with Lulu Safaris. The tour guide, Robert, was extremely helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend Lulu for those seeking a relaxing and stress-free tour in East Africa.

Beste African Safari
Hi my name Halima and i live in Amsterdam.
I have done the 7 day mid-range safari in northern Tanzania. I chose the mid-range because I wanted to sleep in a good bed and appreciate some extra comfort. You need your rest well to enjoy your safari. Before leaving I had received information from Endito Nagol about the parks we were going to see and got advice on how to dress. I felt safe the whole trip and this was partly due to my guide William. he is an experienced game driver and tour guide. I've seen the Big 5, the wildebeest migration, visited a masai village and much more. Every day I learned new facts about all kinds of the animals and for more challenge I even learned the swahili names of the animals. you call my favorite animal giraffe e.g. Twiga.
Book your Safari in May If you like to see the green grasses and avoid the bizzy season. just make sure you pack some warm clothes.
It was an unforgettable journey that I recommend to every person. Do it solo like me or share your experience with others. Anyway nature will surprise and enrich you with its beauty.
Dankjewel Endito Nagol Adventures!

Amazing Experience in Masai Mara
Our experience with Let's Venture Africa Safaris in Masai Mara was incredible! The service provided by Patricia and Joshua (our guide) was top class and it was the key to enjoy our trip as much as we did.
