Fantastic family safari experience
5/5

This has been the best vacation we’ve ever had. Every aspect of our trip with Vimat exceeded our expectations! Throughout the entire planning process, Vincent was great at listening to our goals and creating a customized plan that met those exactly. He made sure we had the best chance of seeing the animals we wanted to see, got us to each of the places we were interested in, and even changed the lodging and accommodations to meet the kinds of places we wanted to be.
It can be nerve wracking sending several thousand dollars to a company you’ve never worked with before, especially when you can’t meet them in person first, but Vincent’s clear and consistent communication; guidance; and professionalism helped make it so much easier. I chose Vimat over all the other possibilities because of the quality of service and communication he offered.
The price of an 11 day custom private trip was very reasonable, and I actually think we probably should have paid more. We booked a “mid-range” package that had some accommodations that were nicer than any place we’ve stayed on 3 continents. The camps and lodges were all spectacular, but we were most impressed with the Karibu camps in the Serengeti. Every place was clean, welcoming, had great food, and fantastic rooms.
Our main guide, Alex, who worked with us throughout Tanzania was the most professional and skilled of the 6 guides we worked with in Africa. He knew the places very well, could teach us about the animals, saw things we never would have spotted, and always put us in the right place at the right time. He was very flexible, listening to us when we wanted to stop for something that isn’t “usually important,” and making sure we were ready before moving on. When our youngest fell ill, he accommodated a change of plans. He also showed real knowledge of the habits of animals, and because of his insight and patience, we saw amazing things. The other guests at the camps we saw were consistently jealous of all the cool things we saw, and Alex was a big part of that.
Parts of our safari took us into Kenya, where another firm that Vincent had worked with provided guides and transportation. The cooperation between Vimat and their Kenyan counterpart, Asili, made border crossings between Kenya and Tanzania a lot less complicated. This group also did an amazing job, and made sure that every part of our safari was wonderful.
We couldn’t have had a better experience, and we can’t recommend Vimat Safari highly enough. Thank you for Everything!

Perfect safari experiences in Tanzania!
5/5

From the first contact Vincent advised us perfectly and responded to all our wishes. Vincent was flexible and answered us by email within a few hours.
Our guide Alex knew everything about the animals and always anticipated correctly where they were. Due to the unlimited kilometers at Vimat Safari we were able to go everywhere and enjoy special moments just for us. Alex also took care of our well-being during the safari and took excellent care of the car. Alex drove us safely through the wilderness at all times.
The accommodations left nothing to be desired even in the middle of the Serengeti and we could enjoy the trip.
We can highly recommend Vimat Safari and our guide Alex.

Excellent, professional and reliable service, would definitely book with them again
5/5

It was a trip of a lifetime and if I came back, I would definitely come to Vimat again. We got to see all the animals (yes, the big 5 as well) and so much more that I never knew existed, and it was just absolutely incredible. You will be assigned a guide to drive you, to teach you about the amazing wildlife, and accompany you in a lot of things. I believe a guide can make or break an experience, but I highly recommend Edward Lema to be your guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and will deliver you the service and experience beyond your expectations. My partner and I have a hearing loss, and he has shown patience and is just comfortable and fun to be around with. He is very talented and interesting person you’d like to spend your driving time with. The owner, Vincent, has been extremely responsive and accommodating and will make sure all your requests are being met in a timely manner. I highly recommend Vimat to be your Safari guide!

Do not hesitate
5/5

We found the site of VIMAT Safaris after some internet search.
Our first mails to Vincent were always replied quickly and professional which gave us a good feeling from the start.
Arriving in Arusha, my wife's bag was missing due to an error from the cargo handler in Paris. Both Vincent and our guide Peter gave us a daily support to get it bag (what finally happened). But some impression about the Safari: It was just splendid! Peter was always sharp on time to pick us up at the lodges, although there was a very relax atmosphere, the trips were amazing. Thanks to Peter's "eagle eyes" we have seen so many wild animals. Lodges and tent camps were fantastic, food was great at all time
It was way beyond our expectations!
So just don't hesitate by choosing for VIMAT Safaris!

Incredible!
5/5

A friend and I went on safari with Vimat just prior to the world shutting down for Covid in late Feb 2019. Our timing was perfect! An African safari had always been on my bucket list and we couldn't have picked a better tour operator than Vimat! Everything ran extremely smoothly. Our guide, Godlizen was amazing...Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! Accommodation was good...particularly the nights we spent in a tenting lodge. Listening to animals roam around the camp was an experience like no other. Our guide found all the big 5 we wanted to see and then some. Note: we traveled stand by and we're unsure of our arrival date. We researched tour operators prior to leaving Canada
