Good experience for the price
I did the 2 day, 1 night package and stayed at Bakubung lodge.
The first day, logistics and communication were very easy. Pick up with cebu was smooth and when we arrived at the park, we did an open game drive. They dropped us at hotel and it was lovely. Afternoon game drive with moafrika was also very good.
We selected the Boma dinner that night and I highly recommend that experience.
The next morning, we did a game drive with the hotel in a much larger vehicle- I would have preferred another moafrika tour in a small vehicle. Then we returned for breakfast and waited 2 hours after checkout for pick up for a closed game drive. This was less than ideal- can’t go in the cool locations and hard to get pictures from inside the car. Would have preferred all game drives with moafrika and open.
All staff were very friendly and helpful.
Last day was a bit confusing with the car shuffle to get back to hotels.
Thomas the driver was very friendly and helpful

Great communication and a highly memorable family safari
We had a fantastic time on the 6 day family safari organized by Viega Expeditions.
The process of finding a tour operator and booking the trip was quite daunting, but I chose Viega because of the great communication from Rodgers from the time of initial contact right through the process.
He answered our many questions about the tour and the company and kept in regular contact as our bookings at the various lodges and camps were confirmed.
We were very happy with all of the accommodation options that Viega suggested and experienced a good mix of lodges and tented camps well suited to a family stay.
We were even more happy with our guide, Charles who was great company, an outstanding game spotter and a wealth of knowledge on all of the amazing wildlife we saw. He was very organized in terms of confirming daily plans and itineraries and made sure we had ample time to fully explore the three parks that we visited.
Rogers from Viega was also in daily contact during our trip to make sure everything was going well and that there was nothing we needed.
We’re very glad we overcame our initial reservations about booking with Viega due to the limited numbers of previous reviews we had to go on and will be taking home amazing memories, photos and recommendations for others to visit Kenya!

Experienced and customized Safari
We reached out to many different companies and we are so happy that Dancing Simba was the one we ended up choosing- the experience with them was incredible!
To start, the customer service was remarkable, they answered all of our questions and were patient with our requests, allowing us to make a Safari tailored exactly to us. They also kept in contact throughout the Safari and were flexible with our itinerary when we wanted it.
We loved our driver and guide “Bulldozer”, who was very knowledgeable and charismatic. Not only was he amazing at spotting animals and explaining everything we saw, he was also good fun for our 5 day trip.
The cook Yusuf alias ” Mshikadau” also did an excellent job. He worked hard to prepare all our meals, sometimes getting up very early to do so, and his food was creative and delicious.
All in all we would definitely recommend this company and we are extremely happy with the experience!

An Unforgettable Safari with Dickson and Top-Notch Service!
We just had an absolutely exceptional 7-day safari! Our guide, Dickson, was wonderful. His availability, knowledge, and patience in explaining the fauna and flora, all while stopping for our photos, made the experience truly unique.
The accommodations were very good, as was the food provided throughout the stay. The overall service perfectly met our expectations in terms of value for money.
A small caveat: If we had to give one piece of advice, the outing to Lake Naivasha isn't particularly a must-do and might be less interesting compared to the rest of the safari.
Despite this small detail, we highly recommend this experience and Dickson to anyone looking to discover the magic of a safari!

The trip was amazing. Our guide Shema was the best. Always smiling, flexible, took us to nice places to see game, handled issues with the car very well. We visited Tarangire, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Good value for money.

Camping safari
We had a fantastic time on our camping Safari. Our guide Jay Jay did a great job, wee saw all the big cats plus much more! Our chef Gadi was fantastic and provided great gluten free options!
Life changing experience
I’m an experienced traveler and have traveled and worked in many countries in Africa and elsewhere and this was a seriously professional tour service. From booking until we boarded the plane, Hermosa provided fabulous and attentive and flexible service. The communication was superb, our guide Richard was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating, and I’ve rarely felt so taken care of or safe on any trip or tour. The accommodations were even nicer and more impressive than in the pictures, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We did a gorilla trek and spent an hour literally sitting next to an entire family of Gorillas, practically at arms length, and I think, after spending time staring into the eyes of baby gorillas from only a few feet away, I will never be the same. I absolutely recommend Hermosa, and definitely ask for Richard!

Another World
We did a safari trip in Tanzania with an excellent guide named Samir. We visited the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti reserves. Samir is polite, pleasant, speaks fluent English, and has extensive knowledge in the field. He was professional and amazing, and found us wonderful surprises in the wild with great skill. We highly recommend traveling with Samir. Thank you, Samir!
