We were very satisfied, great communication and everything well organized
We were really satisfied with our whole teip, it was well organized and everything was taken care of, after landing we got immediately picked up by our driver, Seti, who was extremely funny to ride with. We headed to Kilimanjaro foothills, hiked to the waterfall and visited a community run place that makes coffee, they show you how they make coffee from scratch, explain and actually do it at the same time while singing, in the end you get to taste the freshest coffee you ever had. Then comes the kunch in local.settlement, all is grown in the area and tastes wonderful. We were even given choice which we'd like to do first hike, lunch or coffee. We took a bit longer which wasn't problem, thwn we headed to arusha for the night. In the morning we were picked up at 5, just on time and headed for ngorongoro, transport is well organized, you get breakfast at a lodge while switching from van to jeep. The park itself is absolutely wonderful, you drive throughout the whole crater, get to see all the animals and so on, we lunched at a lake with many birds and hippos. Overall an amazing experience, we'd absolutely recommend it and do it again if possible.
Thank you!

We had a fantastic Safari Adventure
We went to 4 parks and had many fantastic animal encounters. We loved the camps in Serengeti and on the Ngorongoro Crater rim. Our guides and the vehicles were great. It exceeded all our expectations. George and Modi made sure the 9 of us had incredible views of the animals. this trip exceeded our expectations. I was hoping to see a lion, and we saw 20-30.

Excellent safari trip in Kenya
My trip to Kenya with Francis was fantastic. Kenya is a stunning country, offering diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of grasslands, lakes, and forests. And Francis was not only a knowledgeable guide but also a skilled driver, and sometimes, he showed his racing skills too! His expertise in wildlife was impressive; he always knew the best spots for animal sightings. Everything was perfect in Kenya.

Best of the best. 100% satisfied
We had booked the 8 days/7nights safari including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. And it was worth every cent.
Raphael, our tour agent, from the first email till our departure stayed always in contact with us whenever we needed him. He personalized the tour according to what we wanted to do and to see. The lodges he proposed could be changed on our purpose. The were all really good, some even outstanding.
Our guide and driver, Oscar, was the perfect man for a safari with all his knowledge, his driving skills and his humor. He has a lot of experience and is flexible whenever there is need.
We had a big extended Landcruiser with plenty of space for two. Cooled drinks on bord were included. The pop-up roof was perfect for taking pictures.
Most important: we saw sooo many animals, sometimes very, very close. Lions, lepard, cheetah, elephants ….even a rhino. Everything the Nationalparks had offer. You name it. Overall, we were so lucky to see the big migration with thousands of wildebeest close to us.
We absolutely can recommend Safari Soles. On our last day, Bryson, the Manager of the company, came to our hotel to say goodbye. Perfect

Excellent high-quality services from A to Z
We experienced an unforgettable, impressive 5-day safari tour in September that could not have been better. We were more than satisfied with the top services from Leisure Escape Safaris from A to Z. In particular, Esther and Duncan impressed us with their professionalism, their extremely friendly manner, their pronounced customer centricity, their high degree of flexibility and their friendly, trusting manner. With Esther, we put together a great itinerary tailored to our wishes. Esther responded to our requests and queries very quickly and competently. Duncan was the best driver and tour guide we could have wished for. He was very professional and reliable and fulfilled all our individual wishes. His knowledge of the wildlife and the places we were able to see thanks to him was exceptional. Esther and Duncan, thank you very much for making this unforgettable safari tour possible for us. Leisure Escape Safaris is highly recommended and exemplary in every respect. We would love to do it again with this company!

Perfect 7-day journey up Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route with Samora Explorers
My mother and I did a 7 day trek up Mt Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route, and when we got down to the gate on our last day, I wanted to turn around and go right back up. It was an amazing trip, and the Samora team was fabulous. The other people in our group cancelled at the last minute so it was only the two of us, and the guides and porters made us feel like royalty. Seeing groups with other companies, I was so grateful that our guides, Gadiel and Felix, were so patient and relaxed with us, and the porters were all so kind and happy. It felt like a great group of friends. Gadiel and Felix shared a lot of knowledge with us about the mountain, the plants and animals, and the people who make these treks possible. They were conscientious about our health and safety and made sure to check in constantly about how we were handling the altitude. We both felt a little rough at different points, and they took care of us and made sure we got to the summit healthy and happy. We were blown away at the fresh meals prepared by the chef, Elibariki, and had more than we could possibly eat. They were all flexible and patient with us, and treated my mother so sweet. My only regret was that we could not stay longer!

Viva safaris was above our expectations!
Me and my two sisters did the 5-Day Tremisana Safari with Viva Safari. It was our first safari and the experience was above our expectations!!!
The private game drives in the balule reserve were awesome and felt more adventurous, and we did get to see the most popular animals in the reserve (Lion, elephant, zebra, rhino, hippo, leopard, giraffe, etc.. ) .
Then for two days that we went to the kruger national park, we saw a greater quantity and a diversity of animals. Kruger did felt less private (more cars at each sightseeing). But we did enjoy being able to do both the private and kruger game drive.
All the guides that we had with viva safari were incredible (especially KG, Rocky, Smiley). They were all great to be around, friendly, very resourceful and interesting. The bush walk was a great experience too.
The staff at the Tremisana lodge were amazing. The food was excellent and there was always plenty of food (way too much actually).
Patricia really helped us with the booking and to prepare for the safari. The communication was always on point. The pick up from the Johannesburg airport and return was well organized. We did enjoy the panorama route (Blyde canyon) on our way back.
And don't forget to bring some warm clothes if you go in September, it is cold in the early morning and when the sun sets. So make sure to check the weather and bring a warmer coat (advice from a canadian used to cold weather).
Thank you Viva Safari for that wonderful experience!! I will be back one day!!
