Safari of a Lifetime
This trip was my first to Africa, I found myself excited about the journey but nervous about the planning. I researched and found this wonderful new company. Although the company is new the owner has over 15 years of guide experience in Tanzania and Kenya. We spoke quite a few times before my travel to Tanzania and Vincent sent several photos and secured the exact type of accommodation I desired. The trip was a solo one for 5 days and 4 nights, my guide was Silver. Silver was the most amazing driver/guide. We traveled through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The accommodations were as described and the food at the lodges was amazing as well as the box lunches provided on long drives. Silver was very knowledgeable on the animals and even was an avid bird watcher. I was able to see the big five in under 48 hours. This adventure was worth every dime. The entire experience was unforgettable and amazing!!
Perfect Experience
Vincent expertly planned our trip, fully taking into consideration our requests, and was helpful and communicative throughout the planning process. Our guide, Boniface, was an expert driver and a fountain of knowledge, often anticipating what the animals might do next and where to go for the best chances of seeing something special. As a result, we got to see everything we hoped to see and then some. The vehicle was always clean and the extra fabric cushions and seat backs made it comfortable even on warm days and bumpy roads. We booked high-end accommodations and the service and food there were outstanding. One thing to keep in mind is that most Safaris begin early in the morning and you might need to find a hotel for the night before.

An unforgettable safari
It was our first time with my family in Tanzania and we were so well taken care of by Vimat Safaris. This holiday was such an amazing experience for us in terms of nature and coming so close to the animals in their natural environment. We learnt so much about the animals and the culture thanks to Vincent our guide at Vimat Safaris. We still talk about this holiday all the time today and would highly recommend anyone booking a Safari to organise it with Vimat!

Amazing tour guides and excellent hospitality
Our experience with Vimat Safaris was excellent right from the start. Our tour guide was very kind and entertaining on our safari and made sure we saw all the animals. They took very good care of us and everything exceeded expectations. Everything was top quality from the foods to the accommodations. I would highly recommend Vimat Safaris to anyone interested in traveling to Tanzania for Safaris.

5 star experience everyday thanks to Vicent and John!
Wow did we choose the right safari company! After mulling over the hundreds of safari options I decided on Vimat because of it's raving reviews. Starting from the initial contact with Vicent where he was quick to respond, extremely helpful with all my questions, and gave me a handful of different pricing options (all with attached detailed agendas!!) I knew I was dealing with a professional and organized company. Vicent helped me decide on the 3-day Serengeti experience. We got picked up from Rivertrees Inn (in Arusha- which was WONDERFUL and highly recommend as a launch point to your safari) on a Monday at 8AM from our guide John. Within the first day of the safari we saw a leopard, a cheetah make a kill, 2 groups of elephants, zebras, lioness, wildebeest, giraffes ETC. Yes the FIRST DAY!!! John was so knowledgable about all the animals, had such an eye for the animals while driving and managing that 4-wheel, and overall was so easy to communicate with. Day 2 we saw all the same animals on day 1 except ALL the BABIES of each + hippo's, a lion and lioness with her kill of baby hippo. John got up close for us to take photos. All together this trip was fabulous and all made possible by our wonderful guide John, Vicent and the staff at Acacia Tented Camp. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an experience with the best of safari experts.
