Once in a lifetime experience!
Initially, we had some doubts about the legitimacy of the company given the low number of reviews online. However, Patrick was very responsive on Whatsapp and we decided to book a 5-day trip, which Patrick tailored to our needs (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru). The price point was more affordable than other operators as well. But what made this trip incredible was our guide, Phillip. He was extremely knowledgeable, very well-spoken, super funny, but most importantly, just a lovely man. Would highly recommend Smartlickers and if possible, Phillip as your guide :) You’ll have the best time

It was a safari adventure of epic proportions
I have always dreamed of seeing lions, elephants, and other animal species in their natural habitats, and coming to Tanzania on my last trip made that dream come true. Selous is a wonderful place filled with all the animals that were on my wish list, and I got to fulfill my dream with my dear husband. We are so lucky to have done this trip with Otto, who was an excellent guide. He made the trip enchanting with the magical game drives that took us through the bush, water, forests, and woodlands of Selous. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, jackals, monkeys, wild dogs... they were all there, everything I wanted! We saw them on the game drives and during the boat safari along the Rufiji River. I cannot thank Otto enough for being such an incredible guide and Ramadhan for coordinating everything. It was a safari adventure of epic proportions.

Organized, knowledgeable, and fun.
Kiboko organized everything for us. Our itinerary was unique, and Kiboko made it work according to our timeline constraints. Overall we had a blast. Would recommend.
Dexter was our guide, and he had a breadth of experience and knowledge as a guide.

"Incredible Wildlife, Expert Guides, and Seamless Safari Adventures!"
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Viva Safari — everything was brilliantly organised and ran like clockwork. The entire operation is clearly very professional, with enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable guides who truly love what they do.
Our safari experience included a wonderful mix of sunrise and sunset game drives, bush walks (which were thrilling!), and event meals out in the bush — all of which made the experience feel incredibly immersive. We always knew what to expect thanks to the clear communication from the team, which helped us make the most of every moment.
We stayed at Tremisana Lodge, which is right in the heart of the bush. It was an amazing location — we regularly saw wildlife right outside our accommodation, including lions, hyenas, elephants, and even honey badgers! The camp had a very sociable atmosphere, and the guides were always around for a chat or to answer questions, which made the whole experience even more engaging.
The food was plentiful and of a good standard, and everything was very well catered. If you're looking for great value for money, with the focus firmly on being out on safari as much as possible, Viva Safari is an excellent choice. The guides go out of their way to ensure you see as much as possible, and even the transfers and rest stops were well planned and efficient.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Viva Safari — you will not be disappointed!

Out Of Hundreds To Pick From, We Got The Best!
From our first contact with Catherine Edwards to our final farewell from Beatus the owner, it was a perfect experience! My wife and I booked simultaneous adventures with Passionate Guides. A seven day climb of Kilimanjaro for Me and a seven day Serengeti safari for Lynn. Never have I received so much attention on a successful mountain climb! And the safari far surpassed my wifes expectations! Can you say cats, cats and more cats?
And when it comes to the climb be sure to ask for Keddy Nathanael! He, the five porters and cook make you want to come back and do it again! And indeed, we are already considering coming back in 2026 for another safari. BUT, only with PASSIONATE GUIDES!
They specialize in private safaris and mountain climbs for your own personal group. So even if you are only a "group" of one, as me on the climb and my wife on the safari, don't cheat yourself trying to save money by going with an international group of 10 or more. Treat yourself to the special attention you will receive for your own personal group! Their passion creates an unforgettable experience for you and yours!
Thanks again Passionate Guides! We are already passing the word to all our friends. Consider no other!

Everything from start to finish was beyond our expectations. Excellent .
From the minute we were greeted at the airport to the minute we were dropped off at the end of our safari we experienced excellent service.
Our accommodation exceeded our expectations with each hotel picked for us unique in style and all had excellent staff , food and rooms.
Our driver ,Rich , was professional ,friendly and had a wealth of knowledge. He did everything he could to find us the list of animals we wanted to spot and happily stopped letting us take photos and watch the animals whenever we wished only moving on if we were happy to do so.
We had excellent communications from the first email i sent requesting a quote to the manager meeting us for a de-brief at the end of the Safari to check everything was as we requested.
Great value for money especially as the accommodation was so lovely we truly had a first class experience.
We would highly recommend African Big Cat Safaris and we are already saving so we can return one day .

One of the best vacations of our lives with Bobby and his team, thanks!
The offer and booking procedure was simple and clear, we paid the full amount in advance. In Tanzania, we were welcomed by friendly and helpful people in the person of Bobby the owner and Amani our guide. During the entire 5-day trip, we felt safe, there were no problems with cleanliness or hygiene. We stayed in comfortable tents and lodges, which were in nature, we heard the wild animals every night. We saw a lot of the country and the people, we got a good insight into life here. And what is most important on a safari: Amani our driver and guide did everything to make sure we got the most out of the parks, we saw a lot of animals up close. We are satisfied, I can only recommend Bobby Camping Safari!
