From humble beginnings in 1991, Viva Safaris has become the most sought after tour operator servicing the Kruger National Park. We are completely self-sufficient and highly experienced….we own our lodges; we have our own fleet of transfer and game viewing vehicles; our own rangers; our own chefs and managers. Our safaris vary from cost effective two night lodge/tent safaris to 5 star luxury lodge safaris. Our diversity of wildlife safari experiences easily beat those of any competitor.

Friendly and helpful staff made our 7days an absolute joy to remember!
5/5

I'll start with staff. From drivers to rangers,from kitchen staff to cleaners..everyone we met was absolutely magnificent. I couldn't stress enough how happy we were. And even though they work so hard and some clients are not exactly pleasant people to be around,they are always happy and friendly. We admired the professionalism of everyone there. Something that made our week so great. So big shout out to everyone working at the lodge!
Thank You!

Amazing staff, unforgettable safari, and incredible food made this Kruger trip perfect!
5/5

I just got back from a 7-day Kruger safari at Tremisana Lodge, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

The staff there is incredible. Ed goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need—you really feel at home the entire time. And Mama Dee… her cooking is unreal. You definitely won’t go hungry, that’s for sure.

The safari team is what really made it special. Vee has such an awesome personality—super easy to talk to, and by the end of the trip he felt more like a friend than a guide. Smiley lives up to his name completely—he brings so much energy and culture to every drive with his “hakuna matatas” and “WOWs.” It’s impossible not to have a good time with him around.

Raymond was probably the most knowledgeable guide I’ve ever met. You can tell he’s deeply connected to the land—being from a village nearby—and you learn more from him than you ever could from a book. And Andy’s calm, laid-back vibe combined with his knowledge of the animals just ties everything together perfectly.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—the people, the safari, and the environment all made it unforgettable.

Unforgettable
5/5

We traveled as a group of 10 people — 6 adults and 4 children aged between 9 and 13 — and chose the 6 Day Tremisana / Treehouse Safari package.

From the very first moment, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. We spent the first night at Tremisana and the following four nights at Marc’s Treehouse, which is truly a magical, one-of-a-kind place. Sleeping in the heart of the bush, surrounded by wildlife, is an experience that is hard to put into words and something we will treasure forever.

The Viva Safaris team is absolutely outstanding. Every single member of the staff is incredibly kind, professional, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about their work. From the warm welcome to the amazing rangers, everyone went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and attention to detail are simply exceptional.

The entire program was perfectly organized in every aspect: schedules, transfers, game drives, and activities ran flawlessly, like a perfectly synchronized machine where nothing ever went wrong. This allowed us to relax completely and enjoy every single moment.

The food was excellent, plentiful, and very varied, another wonderful surprise that exceeded our expectations.

And of course, the wildlife sightings were beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw an incredible variety of animals, far more than we ever hoped for, making every safari an exciting and unforgettable adventure.

This experience was truly once in a lifetime, unforgettable for both us adults and our children alike.

If you are considering a safari in South Africa, do not think twice — choose Viva Safaris. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and we are certain you will not regret it!

Perfectly met my expectations
5/5

I chose the six day safari option at Tremisana Lodge. Great choice this. Not luxury accommodation, but nice enough little chalet to myself, with decent size bathroom and bed with mosquito net. And a lovely pool in the middle. Meal;s were all good too. Totally met my needs. it seemed best to fit the time I had available before I needed to be back in London and the amount of time actually out on game drives. And was a reasonable price. But of course what you actually get and what it says in the brochure can be different things. However, I have to say I was almost totally satisfied with absolutely everything on this trip. And I am not that easily pleased!

I mean usually things are fine and you shrug your shoulders at a few minor things that are disappointing. But this was brilliant in almost every way and I certainly fancy using the same company, Viva Safaris, again. Booking was easy - I got lots of helpful whats app messages leading up to the trip. Organisation was spot on in every respect. The main guides were great and head guide Luke just superb - balance of knowledge and personable without overdoing it. The itinerary was cleverly put together. I finished up being a very happy customer. And it was the right length for me. I felt ready to go home at the end but enjoyed everything in between. Saw all the big 5 in one day at the Kruger, and there were two trips to the Kruger itself, other days taken up with drives and walks around the lodge area and reserve.

A dream came true
5/5

I just spent five nights at Tremisana Lodge and I must say it was perfect.

The accommodation is simple, functional, and clean. The air conditioning is very useful, as it gets hot quickly.
Located in a lovely, well-maintained garden, the pool is pleasant and the little monkeys are very cute.
The food is excellent from breakfast to dinner. Seated around large tables, it's a great place to share stories of the day's adventures.
The games are perfectly organized and spread throughout the stay. The guides are excellent, friendly, and efficient.
The pick-ups to and from the lodge are also very well organized, even if the drive from Johannesburg is a bit long.
Thank you so much to the whole team for helping me make my dream come true.
I do recommend the 5 days program.
