Awesome one-day trip to Ngorogoro Crater
My colleagues and I had a one-day trip from Arusha to Ngorogoro crater, with our excellent driver/guide Boniface. It was a truly magical experience and Boniface went out of his way to ensure we had the best day! He has a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and local area, and patiently answered our many questions! Boniface did a great job of navigating some of the more challenging roads and made us feel very safe. He is a very thoughtful guide and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed. The package included breakfast and lunch as well as entry to the park and the safari vehicle was very comfortable and a great way to get up close to the wildlife! We were very lucky as we saw 3 of the big five, 4 of the ugly five, and a plethora of other amazing creatures (hippo, zebra, kori bustard, superb starling, flamingos (greater and lesser), ostrich, Thomson's and Grant's gazelle, eland and baboon. We even saw giraffe before we entered the crater! All in all an incredible day and really good value for money - couldn't recommend enough!

Albert, our guide, is the GOAT
First off, hats off to our guide and driver, Albert, for truly taking care of us and for his limitless knowledge on the people, land, and animals! He was able to answer any and every question we had during our long drives, and he had lots of stories and information to share. Albert has the keenest eyes and was able to spot animals from far away and hiding in trees/bushes! He was determined to show us the best of the best and by the last day of our trip, we saw the Big Five! Albert treated us like family and really made sure we were comfortable every step of our journey. He resolved any issues with his boss right away and we felt safe and confident in his care. We thank the company for resolving any issues promptly. He was kind enough to share his binoculars with us and let us watch the animals however long we wanted before moving along. After spending so much wonderful time with him, we can honestly say we can't think of our honeymoon without thinking of the amazing Albert! He is so kind, gracious, and friendly and we would recommend him as your guide and driver!!

Breathtakingly Stupendous
My wife and I booked our safari directly with Vincent BC (before covid). From the outset Vincent has been genuine and extremely flexible to taylor our safari to our needs with some camping and some lodge stays. During covid we stayed in touch with great communication from Vincent as we moved the dates back from one year to the next. It was great to meet with Vincent for a coffee before we set off, it felt like seeing an old friend even though most of the commutation was over WhatsApp. Edward was our guide for our Safari. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable from the plants to all the animals. From Edward meeting us at the airport, we did the Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater tour. It was everything we had wished for and more with Edward’s company complimenting to our experience. If you’re looking at different safari tour operators- look no further. Asante Sana Vincent and Edward. Roger & Sarah - Bath, England.

Unique safari experience
We booked our 9 days safari trip with Vimat Safaris. It was a fantastic and unique experience. Everything was perfectly organized, from the pick up at the airport to the drop off 9 days later. Our driver guide Boni was really great. He was very experienced and knew all parks and secret places so that we really had a lot to see. Without him we would surely have missed a lot of animals :) We can highly recommend Vimat Safaris. Thank you for this great trip.

Great experience
This has been the best vacation we’ve ever had. Every aspect of our trip with Vimat exceeded our expectations! Throughout the entire planning process, Vincent was great at listening to our goals and creating a customized plan that met those exactly. He made sure we had the best chance of seeing the animals we wanted to see, got us to each of the places we were interested in, and even changed the lodging and accommodations to meet the kinds of places we wanted to be. It can be nerve wracking sending several thousand dollars to a company you’ve never worked with before, especially when you can’t meet them in person first, but Vincent’s clear and consistent communication; guidance; and professionalism helped make it so much easier. I chose Vimat over all the other possibilities because of the quality of service and communication he offered. The price of an 11 day custom private trip was very reasonable, and I actually think we probably should have paid more. We booked a “mid-range” package that had some accommodations that were nicer than any place we’ve stayed on 3 continents. The camps and lodges were all spectacular, but we were most impressed with the Karibu camps in the Serengeti. Every place was clean, welcoming, had great food, and fantastic rooms. Our main guide, Alex, who worked with us throughout Tanzania was the most professional and skilled of the 6 guides we worked with in Africa. He knew the places very well, could teach us about the animals, saw things we never would have spotted, and always put us in the right place at the right time. He was very flexible, listening to us when we wanted to stop for something that isn’t “usually important,” and making sure we were ready before moving on. When our youngest fell ill, he accommodated a change of plans. He also showed real knowledge of the habits of animals, and because of his insight and patience, we saw amazing things. The other guests at the camps we saw were consistently jealous of all the cool things we saw, and Alex was a big part of that. Parts of our safari took us into Kenya, where another firm that Vincent had worked with provided guides and transportation. The cooperation between Vimat and their Kenyan counterpart, Asili, made border crossings between Kenya and Tanzania a lot less complicated. This group also did an amazing job, and made sure that every part of our safari was wonderful. We couldn’t have had a better experience, and we can’t recommend Vimat Safari highly enough. Thank you for Everything!

Outstanding from start to finish!!!
If you’re looking for a professional safari company with excellent customer service, communication and experience look no further! We originally booked for May 2020 and then had to reschedule twice due to Covid before finally completing the trip in May 2022. The company communication and flexibility throughout this difficult time was brilliant which ensured a stress free booking experience! When we arrived in Tanzania we were warmly greeted by our guide Edward, in a new 4x4 land cruiser - we embarked on our trip moving from Lake Manyara, to the Serengeti before completing in the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw the big 5 and many more animals throughout the 7/8 days which was truely amazing! Our guide, Edward, was brilliant from start to finish! He has a wealth of safari experience and endless enthusiasm for his job which was infectious - he made sure we felt safe at all times, explained our itinerary daily, and constantly went above and beyond for us to ensure we had the best experience! A magical experience which was largely down to the organisations and customer service demonstrated throughout the whole trip! Thank you Vimat Safaris!!! Top tips - take a decent camera and binoculars!

Magnifique voyage dans le nord de la Tanzanie avec Edouard de Vimat
Nous avons voyagé en famille avec la compagnie Vimat. Je pense que tout le monde n’auraient autant profité sans Edouard.

Incroyable séjour!
Magnifique safari , très bien organisé avec un guide Edouard, que je recommande chaudement! Il parle anglais et assez bien français, connaît les coins où nous avions le plus de chance d’apercevoir les animaux et est très flexible suivant nos demandes.. Nous avons eu la chance d’être surclassé 2 fois dans des hôtels incroyables sur pilotis avec les animaux à nos pieds! Édouard nous a également accompagné dans un village massai plus isolé mais pas celui qui vit des visites de touristes.. Moment émouvant lorsqu’il nous a emmené voir une école qu’il connaissait, on a juste regretté de ne pas avoir pris plus de stylos, coloriages et jouets… Nous avons chanté et partagé de très bons moments avec notre très bon chauffeur.. Bref, je recommande Vimatsafaris et son super guide!

Excellent safari company!
We used Vimat Safaris for our 7 days Safari and private visit in the Serengeti and Mbulu areas in April 2022. Communcation with Vincent in Vimat Safaris was excellent and the quality of the work and deliveries from the company was very good. Our guide and driver, Godlisten, is highly recommended, excellent guiding knowledge and a very nice person to travel with. We travelled with four adults and four children. I can really recommend Vimat Safaris.

Fantastic and Amazing Experience
Vimat Safari's is a fantastic company to use to go on Safari. They provided great service! Vincent, VIMAT Safari's owner is very organized and a great communicator. His focus in customer service and is the best in the business for world-class service. We needed to make some changes at the last minute and he was more than willing to adjust to our needs. That's exactly what you need in an African safari! Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable (with 20+ years of experience). He was a fantastic resource for my inquisitive 5 year old. Not only did he answer in detail, but he kept the answers kid-friendly. He always kept his interest peaked and was very accommodating. He advised us for opportunities to maximize our exposure to all the big animals! This was our most memorable trip ever! We had a great time and would highly recommend anyone who wants to go on safari to use VIMAT.
