点评:Africa had been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. In August & September 2026, I finally made that dream come true with an almost three-week safari throughout Kenya. And what an UNFORGETTABLE experience it
was!
I can say without hesitation that choosing Vivien Prince and AS YOU LIKE IT SAFARIS was the BEST decision I made in planning this adventure.
From the moment I landed at Nairobi Airport, everything was perfectly arranged. Vivien had organized my pickup, and together with our fantastic driver, Kamara, and an exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and practical custom-built safari jeep, we began the adventure of a lifetime.
Our journey took us through some of Kenya's most spectacular destinations: Nairobi, Tsavo West National Park, Amboseli National Park, Samburu Game Reserve,
Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Soysambu Conservancy, Serena Sweetwaters Camp, the magnificent Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Mara Bush Camp, and the GREAT MIGRATION CROSSING.
Every single detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed.
The accommodation was excellent. Vivien has an incredible talent for selecting the BEST places to stay without charging outrageous luxury prices. Every lodge
and camp was clean, comfortable, wonderfully located, and staffed by friendly, professional people. The itinerary, timing, transportation, and logistics were seamless.
Everything worked!
Vivien has something very special.
Vivien lives in both the United States and Kenya. She speaks Swahili, knows Kenya inside and out, and, just as importantly, understands what American travelers
expect.
This is an extraordinary combination. She understands the culture, the people, the country, and the realities of traveling through Africa, while also understanding
American expectations for comfort, cleanliness, organization, reliability, and service.
You truly get the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!
But what impressed me even more was something I witnessed repeatedly throughout our journey. Everywhere we went — hotels, restaurants, shops, and local businesses — people would recognize Vivien, come out to greet her, throw their arms around her, and give her a big hug! With huge smiles, they would exclaim :MAMA SAFARI IS BACK"!.
It happened again and again!
That tells you more about a person than any advertisement or fancy website ever could. Vivien isn't just someone who books hotels and arranges game drives. She has built genuine relationships, friendships, trust, and respect throughout Kenya.
When you travel with Vivien, you aren't just another tourist. You are traveling with someone who is welcomed like family wherever she goes.
And that makes an already extraordinary experience even more special.
AND THEN THERE WAS KAMARA — OUR DRIVER
WITH X-RAY EYES!
Kamara has worked with Vivien for many years, and it shows. He is an outstanding driver who knows the terrain, the hidden tracks, and the back roads like the back of his hand. But his ability to spot wildlife is almost SUPERNATURAL!
Time and again, he would stop the jeep and point toward a distant bush or patch of grass, announcing a lion or cheetah was hiding there. We would stare, squint, grab
our binoculars, and STILL struggle to see what he had spotted so effortlessly!
I am convinced Kamara has NIGHT VISION AND X-RAY EYES!
His experience, patience, knowledge, and incredible tracking instincts made our game drives absolutely spectacular.
NOT A PACKAGE TOUR — YOUR OWN PRIVATE AFRICAN ADVENTURE YET AFFORDABLE.
Vivien, the tour owner and guide, listens to what YOU want, understands YOUR
interests, and designs an itinerary around YOUR dreams, preferences, schedule, and budget.
This is not some mass-produced, one-size-fits-all tour where you are squeezed into a vehicle with 15 strangers and rushed from place to place.
This is YOUR safari, YOUR adventure, YOUR experience.
And here is something that still amazes me:
I almost booked my trip with a big-name, internationally famous tour company. Thank goodness I found Vivien before I made that mistake!
Imagine having a PRIVATE, CUSTOM-DESIGNED SAFARI, with personal attention, exceptional accommodations, an outstanding driver, and complete flexibility — FOR LESS MONEY than a standard group package offered by a famous tour operator!
That is exactly what I experienced.
The entire journey exceeded my expectations. Vivien's professionalism, integrity, attention to detail, organization, and genuine dedication to making her guests happy are simply exceptional.
In fact, I enjoyed this experience so much that I am already planning to return to Kenya with my family!
There is no question about who will organize that trip.
If Africa is on your bucket list, GO!
If you are considering a safari, GO TO KENYA! And if you want an extraordinary
experience without the inflated prices and impersonal nature of large tour companies, HIRE VIVIEN PRINCE AT AS YOU LIKE IT SAFARIS.
The best and only decision you really need to make is choosing Vivien. She will take care of the rest!
Thank you, Vivien and Kamara, for turning a lifelong dream into one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
AFRICA WAS THE DREAM. KENYA WAS THE DESTINATION. VIVIEN AND KAMARA MADE IT UNFORGETTABLE!
And now I understand why everyone calls her MAMA SAFARI!

翻译:从我记事起,非洲就一直是我梦寐以求的去处。2026年8月至9月,我终于实现了这个梦想——在肯尼亚开启了为期近三周的游猎之旅。那真是一次令人终生难忘的体验啊!
我可以毫不犹豫地说,选择薇薇安·普林斯以及“AS YOU LIKE IT SAFARIS”旅行社,是我策划这次旅行时做出的最正确的决定。
从我抵达内罗毕机场的那一刻起,所有事宜都安排得井然有序。薇薇安亲自安排了接机事宜。在出色的司机卡马拉的陪同下,我们乘坐着一辆空间宽敞、舒适且实用的定制版 Safari吉普车,开启了一段终生难忘的冒险之旅。
我们的行程带我们领略了肯尼亚最壮丽的景点:内罗毕、察沃西国家公园、安博塞利国家公园、桑布鲁野生动物保护区、奥尔佩杰塔自然保护区、索伊桑布自然保护区、塞雷纳·斯威特沃特斯营地,还有壮美的马赛马拉野生动物保护区、马拉丛林营地,以及著名的“动物大迁徙”现场。每一个细节都经过了精心策划与完美实施。
住宿体验极佳。Vivien有着非凡的才能——她总能挑选出最棒的住宿地,且收费并不像豪华酒店那样昂贵。每一家旅舍和营地都干净舒适,地理位置优越,工作人员也亲切又专业。行程安排、时间安排、交通及后勤工作都井然有序。
一切都进行得顺利至极!
Vivien确实有着与众不同的魅力。薇薇安既居住在美国,也常待在肯尼亚。她能说斯瓦希里语,对肯尼亚了如指掌;同样重要的是,她深谙美国游客的期望与需求。
这是一种极为难得的组合优势:她既了解非洲的文化、人民与现实状况,也明白美国游客对于舒适、整洁、有序、可靠以及优质服务的期待。
您绝对能享受到两全其美的绝佳体验!但更让我感动的,是我们在旅途中反复目睹到的一幕。无论我们去到哪里——酒店、餐馆、商店或是当地商家——人们都能认出薇薇安,纷纷出来向她问好,拥抱她、给她一个大大的拥抱!他们脸上挂着灿烂的笑容,高声喊道:“妈妈野生动物园又回来啦!”
这样的场景一次又一次地上演!
没有什么广告或华丽的网站能比这更真实地体现一个人的品格了。Vivien并不仅仅是负责预订酒店、安排游猎行程的人。她在整个肯尼亚建立了真诚的人际关系、友谊、信任与尊重。
与Vivien一同旅行时,你绝不仅仅是个普通游客。你是和一位无论走到哪里都被当作家人般欢迎的人同行。
这也让原本就已非凡的旅行体验变得更加特别。
还有Kamara——我们的司机,
拥有“透视眼”的奇人!
Kamara与Vivien共事多年,这一点从他身上可见一斑。他是一位出色的司机,对当地的地形、隐蔽的小径以及偏僻小路了如指掌。不过他发现野生动物的能力简直堪称“超自然”!
他屡次停下吉普车,指向远处的灌木丛或草丛,声称那里藏着狮子或猎豹。我们则瞪大眼睛、眯起双眼,拿起双筒望远镜,可仍然难以看到他轻易发现的那些动物!
我坚信卡马拉拥有夜视能力和透视眼!
他的经验与耐心……丰富的知识储备以及卓越的追踪本能,让我们的游猎体验堪称绝佳。
这绝非普通的跟团旅游——这是专属于您的私人非洲探险之旅,而且价格也十分亲民。
旅游团的负责人兼导游薇薇安会认真倾听您的需求,了解您的兴趣所在,进而根据您的梦想、喜好、日程安排以及预算来量身定制旅行计划。
这绝不是那种千篇一律、批量生产的旅游套餐——您不会被迫与15个素不相识的人挤在同一辆车里,也不会被匆忙地从一个景点赶往另一个景点。
这就是属于您的非洲游猎之旅。属于你的冒险,属于你的独特体验。
还有一件事至今仍让我惊叹不已:
我差点就通过一家享誉国际的大牌旅行社来预订行程了。幸好在犯下这个错误之前我遇到了Vivien!
试想一下:你能享受到一次私人定制的游猎之旅——全程得到贴心照料、入住顶级酒店、拥有经验丰富的专业司机陪同,还能随心安排行程——而费用却比知名旅行社提供的普通团体套餐还要便宜!
这正是我所经历的一切。整个旅程完全超出了我的预期。维维安的专业素养、诚信可靠、注重细节、组织能力,以及真心希望让客人开心的诚意都堪称卓越非凡。
事实上,这次体验实在太棒了,我已经在计划带家人再次前往肯尼亚!
而这次旅行肯定还是由她来安排。
如果非洲在你的心愿清单上,那就去吧!
如果你正考虑去参加野生动物观光之旅,那就去肯尼亚吧!如果您希望获得一次非凡的旅行体验,又不想承受大型旅游公司的高昂费用以及缺乏人情味的服务,那就请聘请“As You Like It Safaris”的薇薇安·普林斯吧。
您真正需要做的决定只有一个——那就是选择薇薇安。剩下的就交给她吧!
感谢薇薇安和卡马拉,帮我实现了毕生的梦想,让这次旅行成为我一生中最难忘的经历。
非洲曾是我的梦想之地,肯尼亚则是我的目的地。而薇薇安与卡马拉让这段旅程永生难忘!现在我终于明白为什么大家都叫她“萨法里妈妈”了!
AS YOU LIKE IT SAFARIS LTD.——我极力推荐这家公司!
