Operated by Viva Africa Tours
We’re Viva Africa Tours. We’re a Tanzanian tour operator based on the slopes of majestic Kilimanjaro and this is what makes us happy: A different adventure every day. For you. You might love the thrill of climbing an ancient volcano like Kilimanjaro or the freedom of hiking a new trail in the Usambara Mountains; you might want to experience a Serengeti safari buzzing with the wildlife you’ve only ever seen on the TV. You might want to photograph the color and bustle of everyday Zanzibar life; you might want to laze on white sand tropical beaches under cloudless skies. We understand that everyone wants a different adventure, and our dream is to make your dreams come true. Ok, that sounds a bit cheesy, but it’s real and it’s why we get up in the morning. Because having adventures every day is what makes all of us feel alive – hence our name, Viva Africa Tours. (OK, technically we should be Viva Tanzania Tours but we’d already printed the flyers.) We believe that the joy of life is in having adventures, big and small, and that’s why Alfred Michael started the company : "I’m a mountain and safari guide and I want to help people do the things I’ve done and see the things I’ve seen – the last rays of the African sunset, a delicious stew after a hard day’s climbing, or the roar of a lioness in the Tanzania grasslands. It’s the small things in life that make big adventures. My team are here to find you your adventure." So, whatever your dream and whatever your budget, give the team a call. The adventure starts now.
