I’ve booked multiple trips with Viking International Photo Tours and this Tanzania safari was another excellent one. Siggi doesn’t only run Iceland workshops, he has several annual trips to multiple continents and that broader experience shows.This trip was a 9-day safari through Arusha National Park, Lake Manyara, the central and northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Organization was top-notch. Transfers, park entries, game drives, and lodge changes all ran smoothly. The hotels and luxury tents were comfortable, well located, and a good fit for each part of the itinerary.Siggi handled the planning well and chose a strong local partner with Jacben Expeditions. Highly recommended.

Our tour was based in Hanksville, Utah. Siggi and John took us to places the average tourist might never find, at just the right time of day to get amazing photos! And we got to do drone photography of the desert, which gave us incredible views.Both Siggi and John were helpful and patient, and having 2 excellent photographers to ask questions of was great! And their positive vibe made it a very fun and cohesive group. One of my best photo trips ever!

I am not one who leaves many reviews, if I do it is someone who has impressed me. This is way beyond impressed. I just returned from Africa and encountered a life changing experience. The trip was setup Through Viking International Photo Tours (VIP) and using Primaland Safaris in Tanzania. Landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, Jackson from Primaland met me, then transported me to the hotel. Primaland took care of everting, from transportation, accommodation, food, baggage handling even music. The hotels were top notch and food was great. They arranged for a walking Safari in Arusha National Park, we visited Lake Manyara, spent 3 days in the Serengeti, visited the Ngorongoro Crater and finished with a Maasai village. Primaland seemed to find the best spots for photographing animals. I never felt rushed and really enjoy the photos I came home with. I felt like I was traveling with family not a cold business that normally don’t care. Our photo tour guide was the best. I don’t care if you shoot cell phone photos or have the latest mirrorless camera, he will show you was to get the best out of your photos. I give these two companies the highest marks and would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Primaland and Viking you really rock!

Viking international photo tours was extremely helpful planning our first adventure to Iceland. Since I am a photographer and my husband is not we decided to rent a car and travel solo. I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss a photo op so so we enlisted Siggi and Criz to help us map out the plan. Every stop was planned in succession along with great accommodations. Sites for best sunrises and sunsets along with timing was also provided. The rental company Viking provided gave us a brand new SUV…bonus! Great fun packed adventure and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We were able to go places otherwise inaccessible by regular rental cars. Our expert guide/driver, Siggi, worked tirelessly to get us to the most iconic places at the best time for great light. He worked with each photographer to assure we were getting the best shots possible. If we wanted assistance, Siggi was there; if we wanted more independence, that was fine, too. This was a well-planned and well-organized trip. We made the best use of each hour, traveling from one site to another. I am extremely pleased, appreciative, and satisfied with VIP services.
