The entire Hoyo Hoyo Lodge staff are top notch.
This was quite possibly the best vacation we have ever taken. Every the about Hoyo Hoyo - the lodge staff, our tour guide Matt, the location with view of the wild animal water hole, etc. - was as good as we could've possibly hoped for. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience. Everything about it was excellent !

Very prompt and helpful
Booking was easy. I could not transfer the advance amount due to technical reasons. They were accommodative. The driver cum guide was excellent, knew the national reserve well, was well mannered. Accommodation was great, for the money spent. Overall, it was a great experience.

Amazing 5-days camping tour
I had an amazing Safari trip with Suricata Safaris, where I joined a 5 days camping safari. We had the best driver ever called Rocky, who was always kind and friendly and of course good at spotting the animals. Our chef Ben was cooking delicious food everyday - and there was always plenty! I would highly recommend this company to others!

Perfect safari trip
We had a very good experience going on the 5-days camping safari with Suricata. The food was delicious, our guide Rocky was kind and arranged everything perfectly besides being good company. One of us has back problems and it was no problem to get an extra mattress for the tent. The camping safari is a wonderful experience and good value for money. Mind that Ngorongoro can be very cold, so bring warm clothes and a wind proof jacket (we did not know that).

Organized, serious and caring
If you want to spend a safari stay, I recommend Safari Avventura and especially their guide, Calvin, who knew how to be persevering so that we could see as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we really appreciated because we were safe, serene, and we were very well received (food and hotel).
Calvin knew how to take care of us and everything is organized.

Incredible
Very nice experience with Calvin, a guide who made us see lots of different animals thanks to his responsiveness and perseverance. I recommend Safari Avventura for their professionalism and for the quality of food and hotels offered which were amazing.
The organization was present and our guide was able to keep us safe throughout the stay.

Absolutely Amazing
I had such an amazing time with Viva Safaris. I went for only 6 days and as a female solo traveler.
The airport pickup was a bit late but I never felt worried as there were others waiting with me, and I was in contact with Nyarai while waiting. The drive to the Safari lodge is long, but a was so beautiful that time flew by. Once we arrived at the lodge, we were given keys to our rooms and told to get ready for the first sunset game drive! I was so excited and they did not disappoint! I had the chance of riding with Hakuna Matata who made the experience wonderful! Within the first hour, we already saw Elephants up close, Lions, Hyenas, and so much more! Traveling alone was also really fun with this safari because I got to meet so many amazing people along the way. Each day was packed with fun adventures in the bushes, game drives, Kruger park visits, and the rehab center. I am studying zoology so seeing these beautiful animals in their natural habitat was really amazing. We learned about conservation, anti-poaching work, and information on each animal.
The room I stayed in was so perfect, with a working AC, windows everywhere, a clean bathroom, clothing space, a small couch, and a big bed. I slept great every night. I also want to shout out to Mama G, who was the cook, and prepared all of my meals vegetarian and amazingly. Some people were bothered that the power went out at night from 9-11 but I loved the adventure! You have to do everything with a positive mindset!

Perfection in planning and execution
I shall gladly do this trip again ~ regardless of the cost ...provided Anya is my agent. I saw, heard, smelled, tasted and felt everything I wanted .
I desired a small group or personal experience and was given exactly that! I am a Professional Wildlife Photographer residing in the Pintler Wilderness of Montana and I am not a 'herd animal'.
Anya had everything perfected!
God bless her for her diligence

Reliable, professional, knowledgeable and do everything to make your trip a memorable experience
Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours has proved to be excellent yet again as this is now the third time, we have used them and a much-needed break after almost 3 years with the Covid pandemic. Tongesai is extremely reliable, professional, knowledgeable and does everything to make your trip a memorable experience. Compared to local larger companies, Tongesai’s individual package rates are more reasonable and come with a customized touch. We felt that our holiday with Tongesai was much better and suited us more so than if we had booked through a larger company. His individual tailoring, personal involvement and attention to detail pays off in the smooth running of your trip.
Our visits to the Victoria Falls, both sides from Zimbabwe and Zambia were magnificent and never cease to amaze us. On this trip Tongesai arranged for a private sunset cruise on the Zambezi just for our family of four instead of on the larger vessels, which was a very pleasant alternative. The boat trip in Chobe is magical and a must if you venture into Botswana. Wildlife was in abundance, including lion, elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, puku, kudu, bushbuck, waterbuck, impala, gemsbok, steenbok, sable and roan antelope, etc. We even saw a relative of Cecil, the famous black-maned lion, ‘once a true king of Hwange National Park’.
I have no hesitation in recommending the company for arranging tours in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana - we will definitely be seeing him again. He is currently setting up arrangements with colleagues in Kruger National Park to venture into South Africa and I wish him every success with that.
