INCREDIBLE Experience, From Start to Finish!
I have been on two other safaris before, but traveling with Viva Safaris was incomparable. The operation was well-run, well-communicated, and as advertised. The staff - from the drivers to the guides to the chiefs - were infectiously optimistic, skillful, and incredibly hospitable. The food was delicious, and the room featured one of the most comfortable beds we had ever slept in. There was a clear urgency to ensure every guest saw all of the Big Five, which we did. The pick-up at the airport and drop off back in Jo-Burg, by Soli 1 & Soli 2, was smooth & easy.
A special shout-out to Mama T for her delicious food and to guides KG (aka Mr. George), Lucky, Victor, and Andy for all of their efforts to make our trip so amazing!
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience and would 10/10 recommend and travel with Viva again!

Excellent !!!
Jacky is the best! Right from day 1 she was helpful. She listened to our requests and came back with excellents deals and worked well with our budget. East cape tours are prompt and respond quickly. Even with the time differences, they come back with quick responses and work efficiently with their clients. I will recommend them to my friends and family for future travel adventures.

Accomodsting and showed us the best of the best
We loved our tour of Tanzania with Dream Adventures. Our accomodations were terrfic, people were friendly and saw so many cheetas, leopards , hyenas, lions , all of the big 5 and more! Dream Adventures took us to wear we wanted to go and had a six sense of where the animals would be. If you want a trip of a life time this is the company to be with!

The tour operators were very friendly, flexible and knowledgeable
I loved travelling with Key2Africa. I solo travelled with them for three weeks and, among other things, climbed the Kilimanjaro and did the walking safari and the Rhino sanctuary. They provide excellent service and the guides were always friendly, flexible and knowledgeable, making for a very wonderful, smooth and organic experience. Highly recommend this company and will definitely book with them again!

Simply the best!
can I say… this was simply AMAZING!!!
Suricata are incredibly professional and super efficient, from start to finish they kept communication open and we knew every step of the way what was happening. From Hilary on WhatsApp to Ali who greeted us at the hotel. Then we went on our safari which was life event we will not forget, we got to see the big 5 and it was just wow. We had an amazing driver Max who I greatly admire for his driving skill and his knowledge of the Serengeti. Not only that he had great care for the animals which he was such a comfort. Also a shout out to Rokki who very kindly went back to our lodge to get some stuff that we left behind when he really didn’t need to. Everyone we travelled with were just the most hospitable people. We stayed at the tented lodges in Serengity and Ngorro which were beautiful and the staff were great. We went with Suricata because of the reviews and they did not disappoint. Great job

Bongan Safaris was everything we could have asked for and more!
My brother and I had such a great experience with Bongan Safaris. The accommodations were very comfortable and private, and the home cooked food was top notch. We went on the four day safari, which included a sunset tour the first evening, two full day tours, and then a morning tour the final day. We saw a ton of animals every time we went out, including several lions, buffalos, and elephants so close to the car it felt like we could almost reach out and touch them. We had two different drivers, and both were very friendly and knowledgeable, doing everything they could to find us the best wild life viewing and to keep us comfortable and happy.
Communication prior to arrival and our travel experience was great. They offered pickup and dropoff directly at the airport, and everything on their end went perfectly smooth, even when our incoming flight was delayed by an hour.
I would highly recommend Bongan Safaris to anyone looking for a great Kruger experience.

Perfectly organized and very helpfull
Every day we went to a new game drive we were blown away from anew. We saw the big five, were veeery close to some lions and their cubs, could’ve even pet some elephants (that’s how close they got to the car!). Every time we had a question our guide took the time and explained everything. Cultural questions, geographical ones and of course questions about the animals. It was a once in a lifetime event and can recommend everyone to go with Suricata!

Great group of people who made our interactions and each day amazing
The staff here was so incredible to the drivers, office managers, and cooks. Rooms were perfect. Not to fancy but not low tier either. It was just what we were looking for. The meals were good and the drivers were incredible. Sundowners were my favorite part.

Best Trip of my Life!
Viva Safaris went above and beyond my expectations. The safari rides were amazing and we were able to get close to all of the animals. The staff was very kind and accommodating to what we wanted to do. The food was great, rooms were clean and comfortable and the pool area was a nice place to relax between activities. 5/5 recommend staying here!
