Amazing Serengeti safari
We came with my wife on a 5 days/4nights safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorngoro and lake manyare NP. There was a prepayment by bank transfer and the rest of the amount was payed cash in Tanzania to Mack, the owner of the company, who personaly met us on our first day. First and last days we slept in a luxury lodge with swimmingpool. The 2 nights in the Serengeti we slept in very comfortable and luxury tent camps.We booked this holidays with Kiliholidays because they had good reviews, and good prices. Our guide did a good job and fullfilled all our wishes, if we wanted to see some specific annimal, he tried to find it. Overall we had a wonderfull experience with Kiliholidays and we would highly recommend them for your safari.

Maryke was kind and resolutive all the time. Helped ud with some issues duribg the stay.
Since the beginning it was very easy and fast to communicate with bst tours. They are all very helpful and present all the time. Would try to think better ways of payment due to high taxes we payed for the safari (almost 10% just for doing the payment because of brazilian laws).
Considering the Jamila Lodge, they could improve the shower quality, and also they forgot to turn on the gas in our forst night and we had just cold water in the our room. Everything else was Ok. The staff are VERY gentle.

Outstanding Experience With Classic Journeys
We had a rough itinerary for our first trip to Africa, and we wanted to visit Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. We had never done anything of this duration and scope before, and we were reliant on Elvis Ayieko and his great staff for their recommendations and input. We changed our plans several times, and Elvis was extremely patient with our questions and modifications. This was truly a trip of a lifetime for us. We started our trip in Uganda with a short visit to see and raft the Nile River. The accommodations in Jinja were wonderful, and Joseph, our driver was great. We took a short flight from Entebbe to Nairobi, where we were picked up by Chris, and we began our savannah safari experience early the next day. George was our guide and driver in Kenya and he was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and taught us a great deal about the wildlife and the ecosystem of the Serengeti. He always went out of his way to highlight interesting spots along the way and inform and educate us about the fascinating culture of Kenya. We visited Samburu National Park, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Masai Mara National Game Reserve. Our timing placed us in the middle of the Great Migration, and we got to see lots of wildlife. We switched guides at the border, and once again, our guide Hassan was always polite, helpful and knowledgeable. In Tanzania we visited the huge Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro National Conservation Area. Truly a gem of our planet! The wilderness camps in the Serengeti were especially fascinating. We then crossed the border back into Kenya, and we were fortunate to have George as our driver once again. We then visited Amboseli National Park before heading back to Nairobi (with Chris as our guide again) to see the Karen Blixen House and the Kenya National Museum. I can't recommend this company enough. The lodging was all topnotch and the food was always outstanding. And finally, one of the main highlights of the trip was the friendly, considerate people we met. Travel in Africa can be difficult, but the tour guides, and the hotel staff were always kind, courteous, and helpful.

Flawless Big 5 experience with such a passionate company
Our entire experience with LongWay Expeditions was flawless.
Ann who took our booking was incredibly professional and tailored our safari to ensure that we had the best chance of seeing the ‘big 5’ and her knowledge of and her knowledge of the parks in the area is second to none. The accommodation that was booked for us was the best that we experienced during our stay in Tanzania.
Ann as also available over the weekend and responded to all of our queries quickly and comprehensively.
Abu our guide was amazing! He met with us at our hotel the day before our safari and right away you could see how much passion he has for his job and instantly made us feel at ease. Abu’s experience as a guide shows and his knowledge and facts about the animals and area took our safari to the next level.
We were also lucky enough to see the ‘Big 5’ on our 2 day safari and I honestly believe if Abu had not been our guide we would not have gotten the same result!
We will definitely be recommending LongWay Expeditions to our family and friends and look forward to booking with them when we return!

This safari was far better than I could have imagined!
Initially I was hesitant about communicating/booking through WhatsApp, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience. (Especially considering I didn’t have to pay international call fees to book.) Process was straightforward and responses were very fast.
Andrew, our tour guide, could not have been
better. It was his personal quest to ensure that we saw the Big Five. He was very knowledgeable and shared very interesting stories.

Fabulous!
Everything was well organized and taken care of, from the accommodation to the tours with wonderful meals onsite. Our tour guides were exceptional in accommodating various requests. Special mention to Rex and Petunia, who was very friendly and enthusiastic with the people and made our stay a memorable one. We are glad we chose Viva Safari and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stress free and adventurous time in South Africa.

Best Experience Ever!
We did the 3-Day Kruger National Park Safari including Breakfast and Dinner Experience. Danielle did an amazing job putting together our safari and accomodation at short notice. Our guide, Jayden was incredible, he made us feel so welcomed and we formed a great mate-ship at the get go. Jayden entertained us throughout the trip and was very knowledgeable about the safari and behaviours of the animals and his passion for his work and the environment is second to none. He is an amazing asset to your company. We caught the big five and many other animals up close. On our last morning safari before departure, we were treated to a big surprise; a pack of African Hunting dogs - approx. 30 with 16 pups. To say this trip has changed us is an understatement. We had an amazing time both physically and spiritually. What you did for us we can never thank you enough. We will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives.
PS remember to take a touch with you - it's amazing what you can see at night around the camp
