Amazing Experience with the BEST Staff!!
My cousin and I were recently on the 4 day safari we had such a wonderful experience. Everything was so well organized by Viva Safari, was very clean and professional and the best part was the staff!! They truly made the experience a lasting one. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating and we really felt taken care of.
From my very first inquiry, Patti and Luke were always prompt to reply with great straight forward and detailed information also going above and beyond by offering us help with accommodation in Jo'berg before and after the tour.
Every staff we came in contact with, were so great. We were so well taken care of on premise by Pretty, Bulgoni, Rex, Victor, Maynard and Azale as well as our drivers back and forth to Jo'berg. The accommodation exceeded our expectations by far. We booked a "budget" safari, but there was nothing budget about the tour. We had such a great time, saw more than we anticipated and enjoyed every minute of the Safari!
I couldn't have asked for a better safari and I will be recommending it again to my friends and family! I will def book with Viva Safaris in the future!!
Thank you so much Viva Safaris!

Amazing Operators!
After talking with some other operators I decided to go with "In Started in Africa" and I didn't regret it for a second.
The company quickly responds to emails and almost all day long, tries to suit the best trip for your needs while gives you a lot of flexibility to change whatever you want.
All the crew in the trip, especially the guides (of course) know english very well and are really kind and supportive.

my best trip
I wish all of my recent trip to Kenya. It was held with offices African Mosaic Tours. Was great. Everything happened at the highest level. Service on the spot + guide. He was great. All interested parties recommend, as Kenya is the only African Mosaic Tours and their guide Max. I'm gonna return there for sure. And just to them.

The Vacation of life time for us Indians!
We undertook a safari tour of 8 days with our two children 10 and 5 years old in the second week of July 16. I had been recommended Easy Travel and Tours Ltd by two of my friends and they had lived up to all the expectations from the start , planning the tour and the execution of it. All our queries were patiently answered and all our doubts cleared promptly by email .
I was a bit apprehensive about carrying my 5 year old for a tour of 8 days that involves long hours of driving through the national parks but our Coolest guide made it so comfortable and entertaining for him. My 5 year old now misses his Tanzanian friend!. My 10 year old also had the experience that he will never forget!
We undertook a tour of Tarangire, Manyara NP and Serengeti (all the way North Upto Mara river) , Ngorongoro Crater and each day was an experience that we cannot forget in our lifetime. We saw all the big five thanks to our smart guide Dotto!.
Dotto showed us how Teamwork , experience, compassion and planning is the key to successfully executing any work and making it appear very Easy. Dotto , a previous Kilimanjaro mountain climber , who knows English and French very well, showed us the side of Africa that we have only seen on TV. He showed us some amazing birds and animals at their best. He is a very experienced guide and loved the way his explanations were so lucid and interesting. He had bytes of information that catered to all the ages from children to us!
Easy travels also arranged our comfort package accommodations in a variety of lodges, Tented accommodations and made every stay a memorable experience. We were enjoying the family time "in the middle of now where in Serengeti " with meticulously planned tented accommodations that were our favorites.
We also got to stay in comfortable lodges in the urban areas, and had no problem with food (considering the finicky boys and husband).
We were constantly in touch with the Easy guys as they ensured we were on our planned schedule with no troubles. We got to meet the friendly office staff too!
Overall a mesmerizing experience and a vacation of a lifetime for us.
I recommend Easy Travels and Tours Ltd if you want a safari trip of your lifetime !

An awesome experience - and don't let a disability put you off going on safari with Wild Planet!
Out of all the companies offering guided safaris in South Africa I'm so glad we chose Wild Planet Safari.
From the minute Ryan picked us up from Jo'burg airport to when we were dropped off everything was taken care of and we were very well looked after - that made the trip for me as I am disabled with limited mobility and did need extra help, which was offered with no fuss and before I even asked for it. Somehow Ryan and Lungisani knew what I required. Being a private tour I didn't feel I was holding anyone up - apart from my travelling buddy! - and there was plenty of space in the van for my mobility scooter and wheelchair.
Every drive - and we did many on our 6 day tour - was full of fantastic wildlife. We saw the Big 5 and so much more. Ryan's passion for what he does so well is infectious, and his knowledge of the wildlife, and Africa, is incredible; couple that with his and Lungisani's spotting skills and it makes for an amazing experience.
Our bungalow accommodation was very comfortable, clean and spacious, and every meal they prepared was fresh, healthy and delicious. We didn't have to lift a finger.
I can't fault anything about our trip - including our communication with Thale which was efficient and prompt - and don't let a disability put you off going on safari - just make sure you book direct with Wild Planet Safari.

Awesome adventure
We had an awesome time in South Africa thanks to Moriti Safaris. It was that special, that we even decided to do a video instead of just taking pictures, see for yourself:
