Couldn't imagine a better experience. Exceeded my expectations
My friend and I chose to celebrate our 40th birthdays with something we’d both dreamed about for years—a safari in Tanzania. After searching online, we came across Wivi Agency, and something about their approach felt right. Still, this was a big step for us. Not only was it our first safari, but also the first time we handed over the reins of travel planning to someone else. No spreadsheets, no frantic research, no long nights comparing reviews. Just trust. To be honest, we were a little nervous.
But from the moment we landed, every worry melted away. Wivi Agency delivered an experience that far exceeded our hopes.
Some highlights that meant the world to us:
* Mwanne, from the Wivi office, was incredible—warm, responsive, and efficient. She patiently answered every question, adjusted our itinerary with grace, and made sure we felt taken care of before we even stepped foot in Tanzania.
* The pricing was fair and transparent. Beyond flights and visa fees, everything else was covered—no surprise charges, no hidden costs, just peace of mind.
* We were met promptly at the airport by a driver who greeted us with a smile. No stress. No confusion. Just the feeling of being welcomed.
* We chose the mid-range lodging option, and honestly, we were blown away. Each place had its own charm, but all were clean, peaceful, and staffed with kind, attentive people. Personal highlights included Planet Lodge Arusha, Heart and Soul Lake Manyara, Simba Tarangire Lodge, and Embalakai Camp—each offered a sense of serenity and connection to nature that’s hard to put into words.
* The meals were hearty and satisfying. While not gourmet, they were consistently good—especially after a long day on the road or in the bush. Hot packed lunches, buffets, and warm smiles made every meal something to look forward to.
* The safari vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed—water, beer, wine, soda, and charging ports. No mechanical issues, no worries.
* A big plus: very little “forced shopping.” We've both been on trips where that’s a constant distraction. On this safari, we made only a couple of optional stops, and there was zero pressure. It was refreshing to just enjoy the experience.
But the true heart of this journey—the soul of it—was our guide, Shabani.
There are good guides, and then there are guides like Shabani—people who live and breathe this land, who radiate joy and curiosity, and who somehow manage to connect with you exactly where you are. I’m an eager question-asker, endlessly curious about everything around me. My friend is quieter, more focused on photography and those picture-perfect moments. Somehow, Shabani balanced both our energies with ease.
He was a fountain of knowledge—about animals, birds, trees, landscapes, languages, and culture. He could sense when we wanted silence, and when we needed stories. He navigated rough roads, complicated logistics, and even unexpected schedule changes with a calm professionalism that gave us total confidence.
But more than that—he cared. When we were lucky enough to witness a leopard hunting, he was just as excited as we were. When it rained, he smiled through it. He had a gift for knowing when to wait, when to move, and where to look. His patience during river crossings or quiet moments observing wildlife behavior gave us the space to really experience the magic of the wild.
He was, simply put, a joy to travel with. We will always be grateful to have shared this journey with him.
If I had to name one hiccup, it was a small scheduling mix-up where Wivi changed one of our hotel bookings without informing Shabani. It resulted in two single-night stays instead of one two-night stay. A bit inconvenient, but ultimately minor in the context of a spectacular journey.
The most amazing part? I didn’t plan any of this. I just showed up—and left with my heart full.
If you’re on the fence, wondering whether to book with Wivi Agency, don’t hesitate. Hand them your trust—they’ll return it tenfold.
This wasn’t just a trip. It was a gift.
Thank you, Wivi, for making our 40th unforgettable.
A Journey of a Lifetime with Wivi Agency
My trip with Wivi Agency was nothing short of life-changing. I went with my family, and from the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated — not just by the breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife, but by the warmth and spirit of the people we met along the way.
Our guide, Shabani, was absolutely extraordinary. His deep knowledge of African history — especially the stories of the Maasai people and the intricate lives of the animals we encountered — added a richness and meaning to everything we saw. He had this almost superhuman ability to spot animals from incredible distances. At first, we honestly thought he was joking — but every time he pointed something out, he was right. It felt like he could see through the savannah, revealing a hidden world we would have missed without him.
We were incredibly fortunate — not only did we see all of the Big Five, but we also witnessed elusive creatures like cheetahs, and to our amazement, a serval cat — such a rare and magical sight. Every moment on safari felt like something out of a dream, the kind of experience that leaves a permanent mark on your heart.
The lodges were peaceful and beautifully designed, the food was delicious, and everything was arranged with such care — but what moved us most was the genuine kindness, humility, and generosity of the Tanzanian people. Their smiles, their stories, their warmth — they welcomed us like family.
This journey gave us memories we’ll carry for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, Wivi Agency, for giving us an experience that truly touched our souls.

A Journey That Touched Our Souls: An Unforgettable Safari with Wivi Agency
We had an unforgettable safari experience exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara with Wivi Agency — a journey that touched our hearts and far exceeded our expectations.
From the very beginning, the organization was flawless. Elias, who handled our booking, was incredible — responsive, thoughtful, and always attentive to every little detail. His care made us feel confident and excited even before we set foot in Tanzania. Thank you, Elias, for starting our adventure on such a positive note.
And then came David, our guide — what a truly remarkable person. Professional, deeply knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and incredibly sharp-eyed. Thanks to David's patience and keen vision, we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five, including the elusive rhinoceros — an emotional moment we’ll never forget. We also had our hearts set on seeing cheetahs, and once again, David delivered. He somehow spotted them camouflaged among the trees, and we were able to watch them in awe, completely mesmerized.
David wasn’t just a guide — he became a friend, someone who made us feel safe, informed, and inspired throughout the journey. Thank you, David. You were amazing.
Though our safari lasted just three days, the memories will stay with us forever. We already know we’ll be back — and without a doubt, it will be with Wivi Agency. If you’re dreaming of a safari that moves your soul and leaves you with stories to tell for a lifetime, we can’t recommend them enough.

Thank you Wivi Agency
We had an unforgettable 8-day safari with Wivi Agency, covering four national parks and a wide variety of landscapes, wildlife, and experiences. From the start, the entire trip was seamlessly organized and thoughtfully curated.
The itinerary was well-paced and balanced, giving us the chance to enjoy each park without feeling rushed. The accommodations ranged from mid-range to luxury, and every lodge or tented camp was carefully chosen — comfortable, clean, and always in great locations.
Our guide, Adam, was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Thanks to his experience, we managed to see everything we hoped for — including the dramatic Mara River crossing, which was a highlight of the trip.
The vehicle was in excellent condition, spacious, clean, and reliable throughout our journey — which makes a big difference on long drives through the parks.

An unforgettable time in Tanzania
We (two people) spent a wonderful time in Tanzania and Zanzibar at the end of August.
We began our trip in Arusha and enjoyed a 6-day safari through Tanzania. Our guide, Peter, accompanied us throughout and expertly guided us through Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater National Parks. It was a truly unforgettable experience!
Peter was an outstanding guide. He always looked after our well-being and was incredibly committed to showing us the incredible wildlife of Africa up close. Thanks to his vast experience and exceptional eye for spotting animals, we were able to witness unforgettable moments — even managing to see very rare and well-camouflaged animals in their natural habitat.
A clear recommendation from us!
