Caring, prompt and knowledgeable
Our trip with Viega Expeditions exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The planning by Rodgers was exceptional—everything was thoughtfully organized, communication was prompt, and every detail was handled seamlessly, making the entire experience stress-free.
A special thank you to our guide, Thomas, who was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. His passion for the destination, attention to everyone's needs, and willingness to share local history and insights made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. He always made sure we were comfortable, on schedule, and having a great time.
If you're looking for a well-organized adventure with outstanding customer service and an excellent guide, I highly recommend Viega Expeditions. Thank you, Rodgers and Thomas, for making our trip such a wonderful experience!

ETA safari: A Decent Kenya Experience Worth Booking, but Shop Around Independently for Tanzania
📍 10-Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari | June 2026
________________________________________
💡 ETA and Super Eagles Safari are the same company — quality is trustworthy.
Sales contact Derrick was responsive, patient, and flexible with pricing — a big reason we chose ETA over Super Eagles' rep, Chanson Kimani.

🇰🇪 Kenya — Highly Recommended
▸ Masai Mara is smaller than Serengeti — animals are concentrated and encounters are close. Book at least 3 days.
▸ Guide Symoh was excellent and well-connected — could quickly reach fresh sighting spots.His Land Cruiser needs an upgrade though — bumpier and less comfy than other operators.
▸ Amboseli was great — request Osutua Rafiki Camp over Nyati Safari Camp.
⚠️ Ask for Flair Camp in Masai Mara than Manyatta Camp — Derrick arranged the wrong one initially but fixed it quickly.
________________________________________
🇹🇿 Tanzania — Manage Expectations
▸ Actually operated by a third party — pricing markup is significant. Get independent quotes.
▸ Guide Tony was great, but a broken walkie-talkie limited wildlife updates.
⚠️ Avoid tea/coffee with bush chef if you have a sensitive stomach — two of us got sick.
________________________________________
Room to Improve
▸ Poor communication between handoffs — we often didn't know who our next guide would be
▸ Pickup times on day one was not confirmed before arrival — a heads-up the before would help not to book breakfast buffet from hotel
▸ Driver in chief Jacob was friendly but occasionally inflexible with scheduling

Amazing Safari of a Lifetime!
Our safari with Safari Soles Tours exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania until the end of our safari, everything was organized, seamless, and unforgettable.
Our guide, Lawrence was phenomenal—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Because of his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals including cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, ostriches, crowned cranes, and large herds of elephants with adorable babies. Every game drive brought something new and exciting.
One of the most breathtaking experiences was exploring the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and seeing wildlife thriving in their natural habitat is something we’ll never forget. We never felt rushed, and our guide always made sure we had the best viewing opportunities while sharing fascinating information about the animals and ecosystem.
The accommodations were comfortable, the food was excellent, and every transfer was punctual and stress-free. It was obvious that Safari Soles truly cares about providing an exceptional experience.
This trip was a dream come true and the perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate to book with Safari Soles. We would choose them again without question.
Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! 🐘🦏🦒🦁🦓❤️

An unforgettable Victoria Falls tour made exceptional by Thula Manzini's expertise, professionalism!
Excellent guide at Victoria Falls
January 2026 • Friends
Exceptional Guide! We had a fantastic time exploring Victoria Falls with Thula Manzini. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and knew all the best spots for photos while avoiding the crowds.
Thula's passion for the Falls and his warm personality made our visit truly special. We felt safe and well-informed throughout the entire tour. If you're visiting Zimbabwe, we highly recommend booking with him!
Jeremiah is enthusiastic, helpful, understanding and keeps his customers at the front of his mind!
The safari has been excellent everything I had expected it to be but better! And I think my guide Jeremiah made that, as a first time safari goer he took the time to understand all my thoughts and do his best to fulfill them, listening to me, wanting to help me. He didn’t just want to just work. With a smile on his face all the time he made us feel all comfortable and it really felt he went the extra mile for us, if all colleagues are like Jeremiah I’d be sure not one trip won’t be throughly enjoyed. The wildlife has been excellent as per thanks to the great guide Jeremiah!
Great Safari
Having a great time with Anton as our guide! He’s gone out of his way to give us an amazing safari. The accommodations and food have been great so far as well.
