very professsional and great attention to detail and customer satisfaction
All in All I was very satisfied with Oakland Tours and their staff members. Felistus was very professional in the way she dealt with all the comunication prior to our trip, and she met us uppon our arrival at a very late 11.30 p.m at our hotel in order to close the last details.
We organized 2 safaris with them, with the second one being tailor made, with a long trip down to Malindi. All went flawless and Kenya largely exceeded our expectations.
On our last day in Nairobi, we booked for the third time, a day with Oakland Tours again, and had a visit to the Sheldrick orphanage, Girrafe center, Karen Blixemn and Nairobi National park, with dropoff at the airport.
So, i will definitly be using their services again, and will strongly recommend them to my friends, or anyone looking for a tour operator in Kenya.

Stunning wildlife and excellent accommodation and customer service
Safari was wonderful. We saw loads of animals. The Neptune Rianta tented camp was perfect. It is set by the river which is full of hippos. Go if you get the chance.

Unbelievable experience
From first enquiries the staff at Viva were extremely helpful, informative and knowledgeable, putting our minds at rest that we had chosen the right people to go on safari with. The accommodation was very good with clean rooms and bedding etc. and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We booked 12 days in total at the two sites and were treated as very well at both. On days when we didn't really feel like doing much or the Kruger consecutively we were accommodated by being taken to town or to another attraction. The safaris we did were well planned and we were escorted by very friendly and knowledgeable staff, in particular Tanya and Luke. We managed to see 4 of the big 5 only being evaded by the leopard but that didn't really spoil the experience. The champagne sunrise breakfast safari was a very nice surprise and a lovely experience as was the early morning walking safari. We would highly recommend either site for an excellent safari experience.

Awsome trip with great guide
We were in Hwange on February 2016 with Joseph from African Coast Travel & Tours. Trip has been arranged perfectly in all details. He is great, funny and nice guide. More than 8 hours we spent in National Park where we could see thousands wild animals. Great place to visit, we have seen a lot of areas in park therefore we have seen many elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, monkeys and wild boars! Transfer from and to Zambia has been organized very smooth and fast. I reccomend to all of you Joseph and African Coast Travel & Tours !!!

My wife and I live in Italy.Our 3 day safari with Viva Safaris was the highlight of our S.A. visit.Their guides are very capable & knowledgeable.We remember our first evening safari,after sighting of rhino,our guide following spore found 3 lionesses with cubs.Later he kept all calm when in the dark our vehicle was surrounded by a galloping herd of buffalo ! An incredible experience.In Kruger Park our guide's enthusiasm was contagious and he found all the big 5.On Balule morning drive an armed Bongani took our fearful & excited group down to the river on foot,we saw hippos & crocs. His anecdotes kept all happy.We like comfort so chose Tremisana Lodge,its beautiful,immersed in the green.Our bungaloo(chalet) was clean & comfortable.Breakfast was a meal in itself and well located in front of the waterhole.Dinner was served in the boma,we loved the soups,the homemade bread & sweets,thanks to Delina.We had a wonderful all-round stay of real value for money.Thanks Viva Safaris,we recommend all their services and plan a return in the near future .

Focused on the customer
We were extremely pleased with our safari. Johnson was very focused on ensuring that our expectations and interests were met. He included some interesting touches to our safari that made for an extra special experience. Just a great overall experience!
So accommodating - pleasant, professional and caring staff
My son and I had booked our safari through Viva because of the many options they offered. We stayed one night in the Tremisana and three nights in the tree houses. The staff at both places couldn't have been more accommodating - excellent!

Great safari in Kenya and Tanzania!
Esther did a great job. Leading up to the trip Esther provided great communication and full details on what to expect while on Safari. We saw more animals than expected. Both of our drivers were great and knew so much about the animals and game parks. The accommodations were pretty nice for being in the middle of no where. The lodges and tented camps served great food. Book this trip! You will not regret it!
