"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!

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.

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
Absolutely fantastic in every detail
This experience exceeded every expectation! The guides, accommodation and safari experience is something we will never forget.
Thank you

It's an excellent operator, we had a fantastic guide and every pickup went smooth and punctual.
We had an incredible experience with Professional Safari and our guide Deo! We did a 2 day safari tour in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was perfectly organized, all the transfers were right on time and we saw many different animals on our trip (lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras,...). Deo was a very nice, friendly and relaxed guide who told us many interesting things about the animals and the country and drove us safely through all the parks. We'd definitely recommend to book with Professional Safari!

Petros is the best! So much knowledge, and so aware of the animal’s movements
This tour was epic! We saw the most amazing scenery and wildlife. So many animals & so close in proximity to the truck. Brilliant. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing, memorable, a real lesson also.
Petrus was so nice, he taught us many interesting things from his own knowledge (we feel it). His knowledge is incredible. He is also very caring, always smiling. He deserves a good salary and a bonus. I would definitely recommend him. Thank a lot. I will never forget this tour.
