Amazing trip with African Big Cats Safari
We booked the 5 days / 4 nights Comfort Safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro & Serengeti) with African Big Cats Safaris, and we could not have been more pleased with our choice! We saw a lot of animals, too many to mention, but the highlights were a pack of lions hunting a buffalo and a cheetah hunting and catching a baby Grant's gazelle.
Our guide was Khaled, who was a very experienced guide with ten years of experience. He knew all the roads and where the animals normally were. He also knew a lot of the other guides and communicated with some of them over the radio so that we could go see animals that were spotted by others. But since he knew the places and the animals so well, we were actually the first to find a lot of the lions, elephant herds, etc. He was also a very good driver both on the mud roads and on the public roads (which is also very important!), so we felt very safe with him behind the wheel. He also knew the name of every animal, bird, or plant we asked him about, and he could also tell us the geological history of the creation of the Ngorongoro Crater. And when we asked him why the soil is red, he knew the reason for this too! So I don’t think you can ask for a better guide. The accommodation was also very good! Good food, nice rooms and pleasant staff. And if you want nicer accommodation, you can have the luxury safari, or if you don’t mind a bit simpler living, you can order the budget safari. But either way, I can wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris as a tour guide!

excellent organisation and very good guides
We went to Kenya for 6 days and our guide was Simon. He showed us the most beautiful places. Sometimes we were just a few meters from lions, elephants Hyena's etc. He learned us a lot of Kenya. He had all the time for us and we made beautiful pictures.
Then we went for 10 days Tanzania. We again had a very good guide named Adrian. He told us a lot of Tanzania and he listened very well to what we especially wanted to see. On every question he had an answer. One day he was constantly talking with someone because he wanted to show us a leopard. It was in the Serengety and it was very difficult to find it. Eventually he managed. Also the Rhino was succesfully found, so we completed the big five. Also the lodges were great and amazing views.
We had a wonderful adventur, thanks to Matoke and our guides Simon and Adrian.

Very very nice 👍
This was my first trip to Africa, and I completely fell in love with this continent! The tour was absolutely incredible – breathtaking landscapes, mesmerizing nature, and, of course, the thrilling encounters with wild animals.
One of the most unforgettable moments was the safari itself. Just imagine – elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, a whole pride of lion cubs, and even graceful cheetahs passing just a few meters away from our vehicle! It’s impossible to put into words – seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, observing their behavior, and listening to the sounds of the savanna… It felt like being fully immersed in the wild!
The organization of the tour was top-notch. Our driver-guide (Johny Jakson) was not only a true professional but also incredibly friendly, attentive, and responsive. He always took care of our comfort, shared fascinating insights about each animal, their habits, and their habitat, and carefully planned the routes to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible. The vehicle was always stocked with cold drinking water – a seemingly small detail, but an essential one in the hot African climate.
I also want to highlight the accommodations where we stayed overnight. Every place was cozy, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, clean and comfortable rooms. After an eventful day, it was such a pleasure to return to a place where we could relax, unwind, and enjoy the stunning African scenery.
And the food – it was simply delightful! Every meal was delicious, fresh, and filling, with a touch of local flavors that made the experience even more immersive.
I sincerely thank the company for the flawless organization of this journey. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and their professionalism made this tour truly unforgettable! If you dream of a safari full of adventure, emotions, and unspoiled beauty – I highly recommend this company. They truly deliver an exceptional experience!

Great safari in Masai Mara
It's the second time I travel to Kenya with Steenbok safari, this time for a 6-night trip to the Masai Mara. The company is very serious, very quick in communication during the trip organization phase and is very flexible for requests. Our guide was Robert, a very experienced guide, very flexible on times and requests - I am passionate about photography, so he was flexibile to start the morning game drive as soon as the park opens and finish the evening game drive when the park closes. His ability to predict animal behavior and the best position for excellent shots has never disappointed us. We have always been comfortable in the accommodations chosen and during our trip Steenbok safaris have always met us out of necessity. I will certainly come back soon, we can't wait to come again!

One of the best trips that i've been on!
Viatu was amazing in helping to plan my trip to South Africa. Mardi is very knowledgeable about the area that I was traveling to, and was able to answer all of my questions over multiple emails and calls. She was able to quickly plan the trip that I desired and was able to adjust as necessary as we went along.
The experiences that were planned were fantastic, and I met many great people and had great tour guides throughout. Communication was easily continued through Viatu concierge on WhatsApp. The only hiccup was not having my transfer driver arrive at the airport on my first day, where communication from the Viatu concierge could have been faster.
Overall would easily recommend to others as the overall value and experience of the trip that I had was incredible. Would use again when coming back to Africa.
