Customized touring for the discerning traveler
5/5

To celebrate my 75th birthday my husband and I took our son, daughter-in- law and two granddaughters, aged 12 and 9 on safari to Botswana for two weeks including three days in Victoria Falls. Our contact-person with Viatu was warm and enthusiastic and gladly answered all of our questions in the months of preparation before our trip. Our requests for food accommodations were honored and we were treated with graciousness and respect all along the way. I really felt Viatu aimed to please all six of us at each step on the journey. Botswana is very expensive; we knew this before traveling there and we explained that we were more interested in viewing animals than in luxury tents. As requested, the tents were comfortable, but not especially luxurious. The guides gave us the optimal animal experience and their knowledge of flora and fauna was exceptional. The only small "minus" occurred when one of the activities we had signed up for was unavailable and no refund for that was offered. Still, overall, it was an "A Plus" experience.

Fantastic Safari & Beach adventure in South Africa and Mauritius - perfectly planned by Viatu.
5/5

Exceptional Travel Experience with Viatu

Our holiday with Viatu was nothing short of amazing. From the start, their team—especially Simone and Alfredo—provided outstanding communication and follow-up, making us feel safe and well cared for throughout our journey to South Africa and Mauritius. The itinerary was perfectly tailored to our large family group, with seamless logistics and detailed daily plans accessible via their travel app.

Viatu’s deep expertise in safari game lodges and luxury resorts ensured we stayed at places that matched our preferences perfectly. The safari resort was breathtaking, and our guide was not only knowledgeable but also fun and service-minded. Every transfer and arrangement went off without a hitch, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the adventure.

We’re incredibly grateful for Viatu’s thoughtful planning and support. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a worry-free, personalized travel experience!

Excellent with communication and understanding of our needs
5/5

Viatu have made our dream holiday come to life. From the 1st call to the last follow up, they have been spot on. They got us the best hotels/lodges and campsites. They advised us on the right experience and the right service providers.

Their communication was smooth and timely. We got all the information before our date of travel, and all our needs were communicated to the service providers in good time as well.

I would 100% recommend viatu for anyone who wants to experience once in a life time holiday with 0 (zero) problems

Amazing Trip Planning and Execution Partners
5/5

Recently we did an amazing safari in Namibia,Botswana and driving all the way to Vic falls. We loved how we operated with Viatu via Ms Mardi, from the initial planning, to sourcing and getting us beautiful places to stay and ensuring all the bookings were properly in place, during any hiccups they were readily available to give feedback and clear any issues. We will definetely book more excursions with Viatu, it felt like a travel conceirge.

5/5

We did a self drive trip in Namibia and used Viatu to book and plan our trip. They were very helpful and really walked us thru the planning process before we booked everything. It was amazing and there were no surprises everything was as we had planned.
I highly recommend them for the next travel.

What a truly wonderful review. It's so fantastic to hear that your self-drive journey in Namibia was a total success. We believe the planning is just as important as the trip itself, and knowing you felt our team was "with you the whole trip" is the highest compliment we could receive.

We're incredibly glad that everything went as planned, with no surprises, and we sincerely appreciate you recommending us.

Fantastic experience
5/5

Cannot praise Natasha and the team at Viatu enough for the magical trip they arranged for us to Namibia and Botswana. Every step along the way was meticulously planned and there were no hiccups - quite amazing as we stayed in four different lodges (all beautiful) with around 10 connecting flights, most via small plane and helicopter. We simply couldn’t have done it without Viatu’s knowledge and expertise. We’ve already recommended Viatu to a family we met on the trip and have no hesitation in recommending them here. A first rate travel agency, and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Natasha and the team.

5/5

Mardi helped us plan our route, she felt more like a friend helping us instead of a tour operator. The ease and swiftness in her service is super commendable. The car hire, the vouchers, the communication was spot on.
Thanks so much Viatu.
