EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on RachelVerified The Perfect End to Our Safari – Zanzibar’s Beautiful Beaches After an unforgettable safari in Tanzania, we spent three days in Zanzibar, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Serengeti Vista Explorations organized everything, from the transfers to the accommodation. The hotel was beachfront, with white sand just steps away from our room. We enjoyed snorkeling and spent the afternoons lounging by the pool. The seafood was fresh and delicious — I can’t get enough of the grilled fish and lobster. One of the highlights was a private sunset cruise on a dhow, where we sipped cocktails as the sky turned pink. Zanzibar was the ultimate place to unwind after a safari.Posted on Hannah BVerified Zanzibar’s Tranquility Was the Perfect Finish After our safari through Kenya and Tanzania, we made our way to Zanzibar to unwind, and it was exactly what we needed. Serengeti Vista arranged for us to stay at a beautiful boutique hotel with a direct view of the beach. We enjoyed leisurely mornings with fresh tropical fruits and then spent the days relaxing by the sea. The water was warm and calm — perfect for swimming and snorkeling. We also did a spice tour, which was incredibly interesting. The peaceful vibe of Zanzibar really helped us recharge before returning home.Posted on JenniferVerified Zanzibar Was the Perfect Relaxation After Our Kilimanjaro Trek We trekked Kilimanjaro and then headed to Zanzibar for some well-earned rest. Serengeti Vista arranged everything, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The resort was right on the beach, with beautiful views of the ocean from our balcony. The days were spent lounging by the pool or walking on the beach, and we treated ourselves to incredible massages at the spa. We even did a dolphin tour, which was an unexpected highlight. Zanzibar’s laid-back vibe was just what we needed after the physical challenge of climbing Kilimanjaro.Posted on Mark GVerified The Best Honeymoon – Surprises at Every Turn We chose Serengeti Vista because we wanted a honeymoon that was truly special, and they delivered beyond our expectations. Our safari started in Tarangire, where we saw elephants and giraffes within minutes of arriving. The lodges were private and intimate, and each evening our guide, Peter, surprised us with different experiences. One night, he arranged for a candlelit dinner under the stars — the sky was so clear, we could see the Milky Way. After the safari, we headed to Zanzibar for a mix of relaxation and adventure — private boat rides, seafood feasts, and snorkeling in turquoise waters. Our honeymoon felt like a fairy tale.Posted on David MVerified A Truly Memorable Safari Across Two Countries We did a combined safari between Kenya and Tanzania and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Serengeti Vista took care of every detail, from our accommodations to the logistics of crossing the border. In Kenya, we spent time in the Masai Mara, where we saw an abundance of wildlife, including the Great Migration. Then, we crossed into Tanzania, where we visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. It was fascinating to see the differences in landscapes and wildlife between the two countries. The pace was relaxed, and we were never rushed. Our guides were fantastic, each bringing unique knowledge about the animals, plants, and ecosystems.Posted on Amy KVerified Highly recommend, incredible trip We had an unforgettable experience with Serengeti Vista. It was a safari road trip: Nairobi > Amboseli 1 night > Lake Nakuru 2 nights > Masai Mara 2 nights. We also had a hot air balloon morning safari in Masai Mara which was incredible, I felt very safe & well looked after. Would highly recommend booking with them, so attentive, personable and knowledgeable game drives, on hand with any questions 24/7. They went above and beyond, and I can’t wait to book another trip in the future with them.Posted on Andrew PVerified Unforgettable Journey Up Kilimanjaro – Marangu Route Climbing Kilimanjaro was always on my bucket list, and Serengeti Vista Explorations made it an experience I’ll never forget. I opted for the Marangu Route, which was the most straightforward, and I appreciated that the huts along the way gave us shelter from the cold. The trek was tough at times, especially as we reached higher altitudes, but our guide, Elias, made sure we acclimatized properly. He was patient and attentive, always checking on how we felt. The night before the summit push, we had a small celebration at our hut with the whole team, which gave me the energy to tackle the final stretch. Reaching the summit was a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration — I don’t think I’ve ever felt that proud.Posted on MonicaVerified Best of Both Worlds – Kenya & Tanzania Safari We were lucky enough to do a combined Kenya and Tanzania safari with Serengeti Vista, and it truly lived up to the hype. We started in the Masai Mara, where we had close encounters with elephants, zebras, and a pride of lions. From there, we made our way to the Serengeti and then into the Ngorongoro Crater. We loved how diverse the landscapes were — the dry savannahs of the Mara compared to the lush greens of the Ngorongoro Crater were like visiting two different worlds. Serengeti Vista handled all the logistics, and everything flowed perfectly. We never had to worry about a thing, which made the experience even better.Posted on MatthewVerified The best wildlife experience I've never seen so many animals in one place!the trip was perfectly organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of . Kenya is a must - visit for any wild life loverPosted on JonasVerified : Incredible Game Drives I’ve been on a few safaris in Africa, but this was by far the best one. The game drives were well-planned, and we saw an abundance of wildlife. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were alive with animals, and our guide’s knowledge and expertise made the trip even more special. We saw lions, zebras, and even a leopard resting in a tree. The vehicles were comfortable, and we always felt safe. I would definitely book with Serengeti Vista Explorations again in the future.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
