Outstanding Tamarind safari on Zambesi with canoe
We experienced Tamarind safari, driven by Kenny, Manu and Cleve (a learner). The navigation on the river has been absolutely fantastic, great sense of immersion in the nature, living with its rithm. Wake up when the sun rises, dinner after sunset. Sleeping in the dome tend admiring stars and moon is something unique. Exchange experiences, life tales, have fun with the guides enriched a lot all of us. Quality of the organization has been impressive, great guides professionalism, good food, exciting landscape and wildlife make this safari unforgettable.

3 days safari in Amboseli NP
My trip to Amboseli NP was great. All services were perfect. First of all I would like to appraise my driver and guide Mr. Samuel Kaguma Nibugha who was well informed about animals and about nature in Kenya. He was very friendly and able to fulfil my wishes. Despite of the rainy seasons we have met all interesting animals and as a bonus I saw the Mt. Kilimanjaro.
I promised my wife to go for a Safari in Africa any times together. If it will be possible we will use services of company Spirit of Kenya. Definitely.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
I recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris because it not only convinced with the price, but also offered a straightforward and professional service. The 5-Day Join Group Northern Tanzania Safari included 1 day Tarangire National Park, 2 days Serengeti National Park and 1 day Ngorongoro Crater (including 3 nights in National Park camps). Lake Manyara National Park was not visited after agreement.
We were an international group of 6 with 2 couples; it could not have been a better fit.
The set up of the camp went smoothly and the equipment was fine (tent, mattress, sleeping bag). I slept well. The cold shower at the Serengeti campsite is part of camping. The food was freshly prepared every day and was delicious.
From the beginning we saw many different animals, from the Big, Small and Ugly Five. The savannah and wildlife of the Serengeti enchant. Watching the lions stalk the passing herd of buffalo was an adventurous endeavor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the highlight of the safari, a paradise of wild animals. Despite our guide's best efforts, in the end only one of the big five remained undiscovered.
Jacob is a great guide, all questions were answered competently. He sees animals out of nowhere and took more distant trails to see even more. His ease with explanations and humor contributed to a fantastic atmosphere within the group. And if you are lucky, you will get the pleasure to hear the Kilimanjaro song....
Thank you Jacob, Dula and Meru Slopes for this unforgettable Safari experience!

You can not go wrong with Viva Safaris!
We chose the 3 day/2 nights Tremisana Lodge safari with Viva Safaris and loved every minute of it. Picked up at the hotel by George we started our enjoyable ride to the Tremisana Lodge. Upon arrival we started with our sunset game drive, which was fantastic. We saw lions, elephants and many other, smaller animals ending with the bush braai. Next day, after a great breakfast we headed for a full day at Kruger National Park, an hour+ drive from the lodge. The guides did a fantastic job pointing out the many animals, unfortunatley we did not see the leopards and rhinos despite heroic efforts by the guides. (we are aware that the animals do not provide a guarantee "to show up!"). Overall a fantastic day, finished with a great meal at the lodge. During the early morning drive on the third day we saw 6 female lions, 5 cubs and one male lion "passing by very closely", just amazing. After we had breakfast we packed and had to (unfortunately) leave for JoBurg, via the Blyde River Canyon. We had an incredible time with Viva Safaris, the guides (Andy and Rocky) were excellent, the staff at the lodge was excellent, the shuttle drivers (especially George!) were excellent. In hinesight we should have taken at least the 4 day safari!!

unique and enchanting experience
Our experience with Smile with us was fantastic and wonderful. Our guide was magnificent and led us to a unique and enchanting experience. We saw lots of animals: leopard, lion, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest etc... we had the opportunity to attend a lion hunt. We went as a family with our children and they loved this trip. I recommend.

Unspoilt, rough untarred roads, friendly people
Bateti Tented Safari Lodge was beautiful but swimming pool was not available as was being renovated, and would have been useful in this hot month. Extremely good staff and good service.

Amazing bucket list experience
I had a unique opportunity to travel solo for the first time in many years, and decided to use it on a bucket list trip. I had always wanted to do a safari. I found Viva Safaris online and was impressed from the get go by their responsiveness and flexibility. The on the ground experience also impressed. I was advised that Jo'burg was a 'fly over' city. I spent a single night at an airport hotel upon arrival, and was picked up the safari operator the next morning. The overland trip to the Kruger area took several hours but was a chance to see the countryside and meet my fellow travelers. By the time I arrived at the lodge, I had new friends and felt a real sense of community. I did the 6-day safari - which was (honestly) a tiny bit too long. I saw every kind of wildlife, the guides were fantastic, and the staff at the lodge went above and beyond to accommodate my restricted diet (vegetarian, celiac). I would highly recommend Viva Safaris and would also suggest beginning your South African adventure on safari as it's a really great way to meet people. Indeed, when I went on to Cape Town and wine country I was able to reconnect with people I had met on safari. My highlights were the safari, hiking in Cape Town (and the food!!!), and an epic mountain biking experience in wine country.

i would recommend my whole family line, to my great grand children
i used this tour company for my honey moon and trust me as a person who was arranging my wedding i did not want any thing else to disturb my arrangements however on meeting Mr. Ronnie the operator he took me through there programs and he was able to adjust depenpending on my needs and Mr. Chris the tour guide was amazing, he had to go an extra mile and look for chimpaze as my wife badly wanted to see and give a banana, he had alot of knowledge and information that made the whole tour amazing, not forgeting to talk about the hotels they booked for me, my lord Kalya courts was what i had not expected in such a place, truly i felt value for my money. i would recomend Zootopia Game Drives to any one who would wish to tour uganda, East Africa or probably the world, they are the best.
