Good and cooperative
Stephen and the big boss Elias are very nice I took a 3 days safari to Masai mara but kindly take atleast 5 days tour b coz 2 Full days goes in travelling itself...
Few tips for travellers
Take a 4*4 veichle instead of van b coz ground clearance very low and can’t reach in many routes
Ensure your veichle has an Air conditioning and operative b coz your whole body will be covered by dust road from Masai from narok is very poor
They have a free pick up but ensure it’s within their radius from airport other wise u should pay extra
Our camp was good but was outside jungle still try to stay inside the jungle if you are with family for night safaris
Take a camera with night vision big lens to spot animals, binocular,and snacks and some emergency medicines
Take drinking water with u only 1 liter
free per day
Enjoy your trips

Good choice for tailor made safari in a reasonable price
Emmanuel was very communicative and efficient preparing the tour and replying immediately all our doubts. He tried to respond to all our special requests. Morris, our driver, was very professional, careful and cheerful. Driving in Uganda is not easy and Morris did a great job. Only, we learnt that we had to draw information about what is next and how to get dressed for each part of the trip. Some of the lodges Emmanuel had chose for us originally were replaced without consulting us but, anyway, we didn't have high expectations, so we weren't disappointed either way. When they promise hot showers and WiFi they have a wide definition for that. Over all, We enjoyed the safari very much, the vehicle, the people, the animals were great and we highly recommend the boat safaris. We took 3 and they were the highlights of our trip.

Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara
I'm a solo traveler and joined 4-Day Safari to Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara with another group. That's very nice experience to saw many kinds of animal in both the National parks with animal life information from George and Alan (guides). It would be better if travel with the Land Rovers :)
I missed only leopard in BIG 5 animal family so I need to go back again :)
I stayed in Nakuru City Max Hotel for 1 night and the budget camp in Enchoro wildlife camp in Masai Mara area for 2 nights. I didn't have the early morning game drive before leaving as showed in the proposal because the group need to go to another national park and I didn't go with them as I come back to Nairobi.
Last, I found something would like to open my camp door in early morning around 4 AM on the last day so until now I still don't know what is it.

We are happy to have travelled with a professional staff
Communications: We didn't have internet for the most part of the tour, so it was difficult to contact them and we receveid our flight tickets to Livingstone only the day before departure
Safari: Excellent and fantastic guide (Victor). Above expectations

Impressive!
It was a great experience with VivaSafari tour operator. I stayed at Tremisana lodge and it was a piece of paradise in a dry and brownish bush. The staff is excellent, accommodations are comfortable and the food is very good. The safari itself is incredible - lots of animals and birds. when wild animals appear next to you - it is magic. The company structure the stay well and have interesting activities like for example visiting the animal rehabilitation center. They have several properties for those who do not want to stay at the lodge all the time. They can arrange a night in Kruger under the sky!

It's once in lifetime experience. Just amazing and adventurous.
One of the amazing crew with all the relevant experience required. Exceptional Safari, scenery, whether, accommodation, food, transport, guide, locals and other essential commodities all were perfect. No matter from which part of the globe you come here, you will enjoy this with their support and experience. Specially Masai Mara & lake Nakuru.
Cheers,

Good safari for a reasonable price: 5 day budget camping Safari for +- €800
Communication via mail and whats app. This went very well though its maybe a good idea to use an online paying program in stead of just making a deposit.
Safari itself was well organised. We were picked up from a hotel and brought to the hotel of Meru slopes in Arusha. This hotel was basic but clean.
Next morning we left at 6 am and drove to the first camping site in Serengeti. We did not do safari the first day and that was a disapointing because we thought we would see already animals. Camping site in Serengeti was beautiful but toilets en showers were dirty.
Camping site in Ngorongoro was nog nice. A lot of people, very dirty toilets and showers, very cold at night.
The food during the safari was very good.
We saw the big 5 and the great migration so that is of course the most important and a big succes.
Our guide and chef were very friendly.
The safari car was a bit to old and not so comfortable..
Overall we enjoyed it very much. A very reliable company!

Fast response both over phone and mail and very friendly, flexible and helpful staff
Communications went smoothly, however the car broke down a couple of times on the way from Nairobi to the Miti Eco Camp, but it got fixed everytime and people were friendly and helpful. The sleeping arrangements and food was also fine and the safari was great - James the driver knew everything about the animals and their habits and he stayed within respectable distance to the animals but still made sure we got so many different kinds to see.
all in all very satisfied and if you want to save a little money on the safari budget you can for sure go with this company.
