Viva safari is organized, accommodating, and dedicated to delivering a fantastic safari experience!
Viva safari did an amazing job at making my groups safari experience a blast. The guides were amazing (Lucky, Rocky, Raymond, King George to name a few) due to their knowledge, humor, and friendly banter with our group. They also did a great job at making sure we saw a lot of wildlife on our game drives. The company was also very accommodating to any last minute changes we made and the food and kitchen staff was wonderful. Overall it was a very affordable and great safari experience that I would recommend to anyone!

Excellent
Had an incredible time hiking Kilimanjaro and going on safari tours with Barafu Tours and Safaris. All the people we met on this trip were extremely friendly, professional, and flexible to our needs and requests. They exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!!

Perfectly organized safari
I really loved the organization! They get you from the airport, provide a hotel for the day before the safari and the day after and drive you back to the airport. The guides really know their stuff and answer any questions you might have. And don't get me started on the food... Delicious, never would I have imagined having such good food on a camping trip!
Everything put together, I can recommend going on a safari with suricata!

Amazing treatment
Was easy to book and coordinate. They are flexible with the payment method. The driver knew a lot about the area and was really helpful and friendly. The guides in the park (included in the package) were very caring and were all the time paying attention so we had the best experience possible

Our best expedition ever
We are a fairly fit elderly couple who really wanted a real 'bush' experience without staying in 5* lodges all the time.
We got it! Well done Benjamin! You gave us an experience to cherish for a life-time. We also appreciate every time you went the 'extra mile' on a game drive to see something special or the lovely meals in the bush. Really enjoyed your company and nice evenings around the fire with Scott your assistant.
Your selection of the itinerary, mixing it up with camping( nice tents and quality stretchers!) and then a day of two in luxury accommodation in between,
was on target- thank you! We spent two weeks in your company and enjoyed every day of it.
We can really recommend Benjamin and his tailor-made expeditions!! We thought great value for money.

The perfect experience
We had a lot of fun in the Kruger. Our guide had a lot of knowledge that he shared with us. He was always on the lookout for animals to show us as much as possible. We were able to see the Big Five and also saw all the cats. I can highly recommend Mbombela Experience. They are organized, motivated and dedicated.

Viva Safaris was incredible, they made every aspect of our safari experience 10/10.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the lodge was quaint and nice and safe, and the food was SO good! Every single meal we were stuffed to the brim with delicious food. We saw so many different animals and birds, and the guides were wonderful at ensuring we had an interesting experience each time we went out on a drive or bush walk. They were very accommodating to any needs we had, including letting us stop to shop whenever we left the reserve, finding us hats in town that we all wanted to buy, and for anything else we asked of at the lodge. We really felt at home there and had so much fun. Balule is an incredible game reserve, and I am so glad we went with Viva Safaris as this was the trip of a lifetime!

Megan planned a great progression of experiences for newbies to Zambia.
We have just returned (June 8, 2023) from almost 2 weeks in Zambia, a safari trip planned & prepared for me, my son & my grandson by Megan Worthington with Discover Africa. It was our 1st trip to Africa & was wonderful, exceeding all expectations. We had 5 nights at South Luangwa National Park in 3 Robin Pope Safari camps, each one distinctive & in a separate area of the park & all exceptionally comfortable with delicious, abundant food & drink, perfect service & amazing guides. Konga, our 1st guide, detoured on the way to camp to see a pride of 5 lions at ease & napping. It was the beginning of many thrilling encounters with many animals with Konga, John & Sabastian all of whom had breathtaking knowledge of flora, fauna & history of Zambia.
We moved on by air (quirky Proflight & charter) to Jeki airstrip & Lower Zambesi NP. Tapello, who guided us with Lawrence picked us up for our trip to Anabezi, our luxury camp on the Zambezi River for 4 nights. We had met Dennis, the camp manager at the Lusaka airport & had a lovely conversation while waiting for our flight. Unlike the Robin Pope camp managers, all of whom were also guides, Dennis had studied tourism & hospitality, which showed in the very high level of professionalism in all areas of this much larger camp. In addition to the now familiar routine of morning & evening/night drives we also went fishing for tiger fish (caught 2) & for another boat ride that put us at almost eye level with the ubiquitous hippos.
Finally, we traveled on to Livingstone & Victoria Falls for 2 nights at the quite lovely & comfortable David Livingstone Lodge on the river. Vic Falls was almost at peak & stunning! Another thrill.
Overall, Megan planned a perfect progression of experience for us newbies. I cannot offer enough praise for the guides & staffs, who enthusiastically & graciously shared their beautiful country with us. Old hand travelers told us that the end of the dry season has more sightings, as the animals move to the rivers. We saw plenty of animals & species (only missed the rhinos) & enjoyed the weather & greener landscape.
