Excellent
Benson was our tour guide for the trip and he was truly amazing. I felt like I had a friend for the day. He was so nice and acomodating. He was professional and yet personable. His knowledge of the wildlife was incomparable.The itinerary was planned very well. Special thanks to Mr martin the manager who was very responsive and quick to attend all our needs. I could proudly say that we received great service from your team. All the hotels that accommodated us were clean and felt like home. The staff served us the best inclusive of their yummy foods. We had so much fun in our game drives in Amboseli, lake nakuru and Ysavo and this trip being our first time to try a hot air balloon, the team made it an experience never to be forgotten. Kudos team SAWAS.

The entire staff at Viva Safaris is amazing!
Services provided by Viva Safaris was outstanding. Booking was simple and all questions were answered timely. We were picked up from our hotel on time by excited and friendly staff. Experience to lodge included a lovely stop for lunch. The safari guide under promised and over delivered in the animals we were able to see, seeing a leopard and lions within the first trip out. I don't know that you could find more value for a safari around. Thank you, Viva, for making our 25th Wedding Anniversary a trip we will never forget.

Our planner (Cearl Marney) was perfect and she exceeded all expectations.
My now wife and I took our honeymoon trip to South Africa. We used Cearl at the travel company and she was absolutely incredible. From the very first conversation she was super attentive and really considered all of our needs and budget. We wanted the trip of a life time and she made that happen. Cearl carefully planned our itinerary, listening to all our wants, and formulated a trip specifically tailored to us. Further, Cearl went above and beyond to ensure fair prices as well as safe and reliable tours and transfers for the entire trip. Every aspect of the trip was planned out for us and we really just needed to show up. Cearl has vast experience with the southern Africa area and even has perfect guides and transfer partners to show you the best time. I highly recommend this travel company for any trip to South Africa or that general area and you will not be disappointed. My wife and I are big travelers and had very high expectations for a luxurious honeymoon to the Sabi Sands reserve, Cape Town, and the wine country, and all of these were exceeded.

The safari that gave me an unforgettable time in my life
It is not easy for an Asian woman to travel to Africa alone. Even walking and sleeping normally. However, Mbio Mbio safari gave me an unforgettable time as a solo traveler, and I was so happy throughout the tour.
My sincere thanks to the three of them: chef Ebdala, guide Laurian, and driver Noel. They prepared a separate tent for me to rest comfortably, and also provided an English interpreter. They served me a delicious course meal. They have given me so much kindness that I can't use it all.
The animals, which are the core of the safari, were also guided so that I could see a lot, so I was able to see sights I would never see again. I also thank boss David, who came to my accommodation to say thank you when I returned from the tour. I would definitely recommend Mbio Mbio safari to those traveling alone.

Brazilians in Tanzania
My husband and I went to Tanzania for our honeymoon, it was our dream for a long time to go on a safari and because it was such a special trip, it took us a long time to choose the company to go on the safari, because in Brazil few people travel to Tanzania and even the travel agencies I talked to didn't make packages here. After a lot of research, I found Suricata Safaris through the SafariBookings website, which is the most recommended website for choosing a safari company, where you can find packages and company reputations, it is all in English, but I highly recommend using it. it. I contacted Suricata and it was the company that I found with the best cost x benefit, their package is super complete, they pick you up at the airport, take you to the hotel to sleep in Arusha and on the way back from the safari the same thing, during the safari they fulfilled the script exactly as they had said and it was a wonderful experience, we took the camping package, so obviously we slept in tents and imagined what the camps would be like, but it was all very nice, they are very organized and the food was really very good, local food , they eat a lot of vegetables, chicken and fish and we love it. Our guide was Mandela and he was really nice, he explained everything about the animals and the place. If you go, don't miss the Seringeti park, it's wonderful, it was my favorite. In Ngorongoro it is really cold, the climate changes completely, take jackets and warm clothes, even if it is just one day. We loved the experience and we certainly recommend Suricata Safaris to everyone who wants to live this adventure in the middle of nature.
