We had an awesome trip in Namibia. Mardi took care of everything. There were some confusion regarding the car rental initially but it was sorted out quickly and we had an awesome time in Namibia.
Highly recommend.

Unique life experience
5/5

Viatu facilitated a unique life experience for us. The accommodations and activities provided were excellent and tailored to our request. We communicated on details before and throughout the trip. Namibia will always be remembered as a top adventure and treasured memory. We saw the big five, met wonderful people, and were pampered by staff. Special thanks to Mardi for her knowledge and professionalism!

5/5

Clément de Viatu assisted me from start to finish to find a vehicle, a hotel, with an à la carte service on top! Everything was perfectly well organized, well chosen. I wouldn't have imagined so many.
The performances were of great quality and everything went smoothly.

Excellent support throughout including for the unexpected!
5/5

I love holiday planning; I never use an agency, but spend hours finding accommodation, things to do, etc. For Namibia, we wanted to do it differently as it IS just so remote and we wanted to have a company to fall back on in case anything would go wrong.

From first dealing with Viatu to the absolute end, it has been a pleasure. Using their initial templates was great, but even better - for the avid planner in me - was how everything was customisable. Simone helped us plan our dream trip, was available for the small and big questions, and gave us faith in Viatu from the start.

And then they really got tested; we got hit by airline strikes on the way out, ending up on a much longer journey but arriving a day earlier; this is where a good agency really shines. A room was sorted for us in Windhoek without any issues, pick-up was arranged and transfer to pick up our booked car the next day without any issues. As luck would have it, we then had our flight delayed by a day to go back home, and again Viatu jumped in and booked us an extra accommodation etc. This really was such a relief as with dodgy internet and the long distances, we would have struggled to sort this out ourselves.

Every aspect of dealing with Viatu has been pleasant including them sharing our honeymoon news to the different lodges, resulting in some lovely extra touches when we were in the various locations.

Would 10/10 recommend and would not hesitate to book them again for any future trips to Africa.

PS: Namibia is INSANE. Nothing like it. Dream.

Hi Nickee,

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s always a bit of a leap for a dedicated DIY planner to trust an agency, so we’re thrilled we could help you design your dream trip while giving you that extra bit of backup.

We’re honestly just glad we could be there when the airline strikes and delays kicked in. Namibia is stunning, but it’s definitely not the place where you want to be stuck solving logistics with spotty Wi-Fi! It was our pleasure to get those extra nights and transfers sorted so you could stay focused on the experience.

It’s also wonderful to hear the lodges looked after you for your honeymoon—those little extra touches really make the trip.

We totally agree, Namibia is absolute magic. Whenever you’re ready to head back to Africa, we’d love to help you out again!

Best,

The Viatu Team

Viatu is very responsive and responsible tour agency
5/5

My wife and I had a great experience with Viatu. One of the standout features is their 24/7 availability through WhatsApp, which made communication incredibly convenient and responsive at any time of day. It gave me peace of mind knowing I could reach out whenever I had questions or needed assistance.

We also worked closely with Mardi to adjust the itinerary to our liking, and the process was smooth and personalized. Mardi was attentive, flexible, and really took the time to understand our preferences, which made the entire experience even better. Mardi also suggested a few great activities to do outside of our tour at places we happened to be before and after the tour concluded, which added even more value to the overall experience.

We loved each and every safari lodge and operator they selected. Each one exceeded our expectations and added something special to the trip. They also went above and beyond by speaking on our behalf to resolve an issue with another agency, handling everything with minimal input required from us, which made the experience stress-free.

Overall, the reliability, accessibility, and personalized service really set them apart.

Hi Cory,

Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We’re so happy to hear that you and your wife had such a great experience with us.

It’s awesome that the WhatsApp support gave you that extra peace of mind—we know how important it is to feel connected when you're out on your first safari. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Mardi as well; she’ll be thrilled to hear that the itinerary tweaks and activity suggestions helped make the trip feel personalized and stress-free for you both.

We’re also really glad we could step in and handle that situation with the other agency for you. Our goal is always to keep the "work" on our end so you can just enjoy the lodges and the wildlife!

Thank you for choosing Viatu for your first safari. We’d love to help you plan the next one whenever you're ready!

Best,

The Viatu Team
