Flexible, helpful and fast
4/5

I made the terrible mistake to book very late and the also the wrong week. SVAI helped me all the way and managed to rectify everything which was not easy, I’m sure. They did very well

Personalised service, quick responses and attention to detail
4/5

The responses of SVAI are very prompt which is important when you want to finalise your itinerary quickly. There are always plenty of options given and SVAI is also happy to look into other options that we suggest. SVAI seems to understand what we want and hence the customised itinerary feels very appropriate.

Highly recommended!
5/5

We booked our Tanzania safari and Zanzibar stay with SVAI, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear on WhatsApp, every transfer was on time, and our guide was professional, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. The itinerary was well planned, the lodges were great, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. SVAI handled details and last-minute questions with real patience, which made the whole trip feel easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!

These folks truly know how to put together an excellent experience
5/5

We researched 24 tour operators for their ability to meet our criteria and SVAI really stood out. The thoughtfulness of their itinerary/ the opportunity to include just the two of us (and the driver/guide) and the combination of the "must sees" coupled with some hidden gems (balloon ride/Olduvai/Lake Victoria for example) truly won us over. Their staff was always available for questions and to help us through the planning process to the final decision to trust them with our safari. It was trust well-placed- they did an excellent job particularly as we debated the fly from spot to spot versus drive- driving was absolutely the best way to go!

Amazing Safari and Beach : Tanzania & Zanzibar
5/5


We’ve recently returned from a safari trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Central & North Serengeti, took a balloon ride and then flew onto Nungwi, Zanzibar, all arranged by Priyal and her team at SVAI Luxe Escapes.

Nothing was too much trouble for any of the team (Priyal, Martha & Helen), they were extremely efficient, answering all our queries, and we had a quite a few.

We had the most amazing time. Our driver/guide Emmanuel Urio ensured we saw everything and his knowledge of all the animals, culture, geography and wildlife throughout the whole trip made it so much more enjoyable. He truly went above and beyond. We were able to see the great migration which was a once in a lifetime experience!

Zanzibar was also part of our amazing trip and was as beautiful as the photos suggest and we had a wonderful visit to Stone Town with the very lovely Ally.

Excellent service, above and beyond, in every respect
5/5

Everything about my 2 day trip to Mikumi was outstanding: the accommodations were excellent, food was delicious and my dietary restrictions were taken into consideration, transportation was seamless throughout the trip and SVAI were all the time reachable and willing to adjust according to my needs. I was impressed by their professionalism. Needless to say, the main goal of the trip, the game drive in the national park, was simply astounding. My guide was highly experienced and knowledgeable and the park itself is just a wonder of nature. The Maasai village which I visited on the second day was also a very interesting experience and an opportunity for an authentic interaction with the Maasai people themselves.

Service, comfort and care to another level
5/5

What can I say? This has truly been a trip of lifetime, and SVAI was intrumental in making it a reality. We were a group of extended family travelling toghether with three generations which meant vast difference in age. The SVAI team delivered an itinerary that suited all travellers in such a nice way. It was comfortable and well balanced. And of top of it all, they were always easy to reach and very responsive. Another big benefit was that every staff member, down to drivers and guides were great at communication and hospitality. To me SVAI is the goto when travelling in Africa from now on, and I would recommend it to anyone travelling there. And here is hoping that they will extend their services to more continents in the future. Thank you SVAI. You have been awesome.
