Africa Alive and with us forever!
My wife and I are in our late seventies and wanted one more great adventure. We chose DANA East African along with our best friends from high school.
The tour was fabulous! We saw the Big Five , the wildebeest crossing the rivers, leopards sleeping in trees, danced with the Mesai, floated over the Mana in a hot air balloon and so much more.
The camps were really four star with the most delightful breakfast and dinner menus. We were always able to keep our families updated at night in very well appointed sleeping quarters.
Truly, the trip of a lifetime.

Very warm, receptive & knowledgeable
Right from the outset, the team was very engaging, very reliable.
We absolutely loved all the scheduled activities and the respective service providers were very receptive, caring and reliable..you didn't have to call twice or do a reminder..if anything they always reached out first. The service was exceptional and well executed.

Efficient and friendly Staff. Highly recommended
We were a group of 4 photographers and we had high expectations regarding the driver that would be provided.
We were out before sunrise and did not return to our lodge until sunset time as we needed to maximize the opportunities to get good photographs.
Ways of Africa made all this possible. Our driver was very knowledgeable, would anticipate the action properly and as a result we got good photos.
We took breakfast and lunch with us, they were provided in boxes and there was always enough to go through the day. Although food was never much of a concern to us.
The lodges were very comfortable and the food was good.
Overall, we had a great experience and I recommend Ways of Africa to anyone looking for a photo safari.

Good
Pros:Emma was fantastic in getting the itenary for our large group of 12 people.
Competitive price. Good hotels and fantastic food were selected.
Biggest drawback: We were provided two vehicles and two drivers for a group of 12 people
Adam was fantastic and the vehicles quality was very good.
Second vehicle provided was of very poor quality..The roof in the front was not opened the first day claiming its not safe as it was not in good condition..
Radio communication was not working hence we were depending entirely on Adams vehicle for navigating to the correct spots..
There was breakdown of the vehicle twice with problem in the same type..we had to spend our valuable game drive time in car garage to fix them.
Thankfully the final breakdown of vehicle happened 100 metres from the airport (our final ride).If this had happened in middle of the game reserve it would have been a big disaster.
Car breakdowns can happen but providing vehicle in substandard quality was not ideal.
Special thanks to Adam for making this trip memorable....

Reliable, responsive, and perfect for first-time safari
We’re a group of 5 girls on our very first trip to Africa, and for some of us, our first safari ever. We were nervous and had no idea who to choose, so we researched and compared the operators with the most reviews. Jocky stood out — and the reviews turned out to be completely true. They were super responsive, responsible, and reliable throughout.
We traveled during peak season, so prices were high and accommodation was tight. There was a small hiccup — the quote we’d been given was no longer available when we went to confirm. But David and his team found us a happy solution, and in the end we all agreed the whole experience was worth the money.
Safety was our biggest concern as an all-girl group, and we felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. We had a private group, which made everything more comfortable. David arranged an amazing guide for us — Michael, who has over two decades of safari experience. It shows. He knows everyone, which means he knows where the animals are, the best spots, and how to catch the interesting sightings. His driving was impressive too — bumpy at times, but the “African massage” was never too rough!
Our jeep was a Land Cruiser with a roof that opens, so we could see clearly and without eating too much dust. Michael struck a perfect balance between sharing his knowledge and letting us simply enjoy nature. He answered all our questions patiently, and you could really feel his love for the land and his animal friends. He always worked to get us a clear view while minimizing disturbance to the wildlife.
Over 3 days and 2 nights, we saw so much: zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest, warthogs, and many kinds of antelope, plus sleeping lions, a cheetah, and several other cats. We didn’t catch the wildebeest crossing the river, but we did see them lined up across the savanna — an unforgettable scene, especially at sunset.
We stayed at Enkorok Mara Camp — a wonderful place. We were put in the new building, in a family room connecting two rooms with a shared common area. Hot showers, great food. We loved it.
Two honest tips: peak season means lots of animals, but also lots of jeeps, so expect crowds around the sightings. And be ready — it gets very dusty!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first safari. Thank you, David and Michael!

It's very kindness and When I asked questions, the replies were quick
I recently went on a safari tour in Tanzania’s Serengeti and was extremely satisfied with the experience.
Whenever I had questions, the tour company responded very quickly, and the pickup arrangements were perfect.
Despite offering very reasonable prices, the company provided a high-quality safari experience. They were also very open to feedback and said they would take our suggestions into consideration and make improvements where possible.
If you’re considering going on a safari, I highly recommend this tour company!

Extraordinary experience, we loved it!!
Our 6-day safari was absolutely extraordinary! Each park we visited had its own unique qualities, which made the overall experience incredibly special.
We went in August and had the privilege of witnessing the Great Migration, with thousands of zebras and other animals on the move. It was truly spectacular! We also saw many other animals, often from incredibly close distances, which made the experience even more unforgettable.
We also had the best guide we could have asked for. She provided top-notch service throughout the entire safari and went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional. We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
I would give our overall experience a solid 10 out of 10. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I would definitely recommend it!

End to End lifetime Kenya experience tour operator
Our family had an incredible safari experience in Kenya with Viega Expeditions, and we could not rate them more highly.
A massive thank you to Rodgers, whose communication with me and planning of our itinerary even before we arrived in Kenya ensured for a seamless experience. He made sure that everything is communicated properly and took the entire ownership himself and he was reachable anytime I wanted irrespective of the hours.
On our first day, our tour was laid out to us clearly by Rodgers, whose friendliness, professionalism and attention to detail made the whole experience stress-free.
Our safari tour guide, Thomas, was truly exceptional. His knowledge and passion for the wildlife in both Amboseli and Masai Mara made every game drive memorable, as he shared fascinating insights that made each sighting so special. His excellent spotting skills ensured that we were able to spot the Big Five, as well as come out of the national parks with a new love for animals and conservation. Thomas is a very lovely person and he always wanted to give us the best and made the entire experience more special and enjoyable.
If you're looking for a well organised safari with outstanding service and guiding, Viega Expeditions is the perfect choice. Cant thank enough to both Rodgers and Thomas. They are the core of Viega and we would love to travel more.
