Viatu planned the best and most magical trip of our lives in Namibia
Mardi from Viatu planned every last little detail for our 12 day driving trip around Namibia. This trip exceeded our expectations, from the amazing wildlife to the breathtaking landscapes and the beautiful Namibian people. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. Everything went so smoothly.. We were a bit nervous about the long drives, but they gave us the chance to appreciate the stunning country. Viatu would check in on us to make sure everything was going ok. Definitely use Viatu to book your bucket-list trip. Thanks Mardi!

A Romantic Adventure with West Wild
Our safari with West Wild was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and executed exactly as planned. There were no unexpected detours or unplanned stops, which made the trip feel smooth and reliable.
What truly stood out was their thoughtful touch during the ZhongQiu Festival (Mid-Autumn Festival) —the team coordinated with the lodge to prepare a lovely surprise for us. It was such a heartwarming gesture in this special day.
A huge shout-out to our guide, Temba. His sharp eyes and deep knowledge of the wildlife were impressive. He spotted animals from afar like no one else could, ensuring we never missed a moment of action. Thanks to him, we witnessed breathtaking scenes and learned so much about Tanzania’s amazing ecosystem.
I highly recommend West Wild.

We went for 1-day Chobe safari and 1-day Hwange safari. Both experiences were amazing and unforgettable. The tour operator provided us with excellent service, we received all necessary information in advance, the schedule was strictly followed and the services were excellent. Professional driver (Kudzi), great guides who showed us the magic of wild life.

Meticulously organised operator
We had an excellent time with Viva Safaris. You are in safe hands with this company as they are very organised with a diverse itinerary which makes the most of your time. We had a member of our group fall ill and the staff were planned and prepared to get them taken care of.
Our safari package contained two bush walks which was very enriching. We got to see the terrain up close and learn about the complex ecosystem at Kruger - I find bush walks are rare amongst other providers. The accomodations given by the company are in good condition and right on the edge of the park, with many animals approaching the camp sites. The food served for breakfast and dinner was very tasty and homely. All of the staff gave excellent service, being polite and always willing to help. The game drivers had expert knowledge of the park, the animals and were incredible spotters. Thank you Viva Safaris!

Dream Safari with Mountain Warriors – 4 Unforgettable Days in Tanzania
We had an incredible experience with Mountain Warriors! From the very beginning, Rose Mary was extremely helpful. We contacted her via WhatsApp to organize a 4-day safari including:
➡️ Tarangire National Park,
➡️ 2 days in the Serengeti,
➡️ and the Ngorongoro Crater.
She created a program that was perfectly tailored to our wishes.
✈️ The Departure
We left Stone Town by plane with Flightlink (about 1h30 flight). In Arusha, Rose Mary and our guide Grason were waiting for us with warm smiles. After a short briefing, we jumped into our Land Cruiser and the adventure began!
🐘 Day 1 – Tarangire National Park
After a few bumps on the African roads, we arrived at Tarangire National Park, where we saw our first animals: zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeests, and many others.
On the way, we had a small battery issue – an unexpected disconnection – but Grason handled it calmly and efficiently, helped by the wonderful solidarity of other drivers. Within minutes, everything was fixed, and the journey continued smoothly.
Grason always made sure to get us as close as possible to the animals, while respecting their space.
That evening, we stayed at the Surricata Boma Lodge, a real gem: stylish bungalows, kind staff, and excellent food.
🦁 Days 2 & 3 – Serengeti National Park
After a few hours’ drive, we reached the legendary Serengeti. The landscapes and wildlife were simply breathtaking!
That evening, we stayed at Misako Lodge, a luxury tented camp right in the heart of the Serengeti — surrounded by lions, zebras, and buffalos. The staff were very professional and the meals delicious.
The next day, we continued exploring the Serengeti before heading to Marera Mountain View Lodge, another beautiful place recommended by Rose Mary.
Just a few meters from the lodge, we experienced a minor radiator problem, but once again, the local community’s solidarity was amazing — people from the nearby village quickly helped, and everything was fixed in no time!
🦏 Day 4 – Ngorongoro Crater
The final stage of our safari took us to the Ngorongoro Crater — a magical day surrounded by incredible biodiversity. We were lucky enough to spot a rhinoceros!
Thanks to Grason’s experience and attention to detail, we got to see the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and countless beautiful birds.
✈️ Back to Zanzibar
After the safari, we flew back to Zanzibar. A driver was supposed to meet us at the airport to take us to our hotel for the rest of our stay.
That was the only small disappointment of the trip — when we arrived, no one was there. We had to call Rose Mary to let her know, but she quickly took care of the issue, and the driver arrived shortly after.
💬 Final Thoughts
This was a perfectly organized safari, stress-free from start to finish. Rose Mary and Grason were both kind, professional, and passionate.
Each lodge was beautifully chosen, the logistics flawless, and the landscapes simply breathtaking.
Even the small hiccups were handled with calm and professionalism, showing the strength of the team and the local solidarity.
🌍 We 100% recommend Mountain Warriors – excellent service, great organization, and very competitive prices.
A truly unforgettable experience
