Wow!
Wow!
Just returned from a fabulous 7 day safari staying at Tremisana Game Lodge.
Situated on the Balule Nature Reserve, on the edge of Kruger National Park. Accommodation is in thatched lodges, in beautifully landscapes gardens, with many water features and a fabulous swimming pool. The staff are like one big happy family and we felt honoured to become part of the family during our stay. The Lapa, where all meals are taken is an ideal place to chill out and watch the animals visiting the waterhole just outside the property. Just beware of the pesky monkeys who’ll try and steal any food left lying around. The holiday included a bush walk, many drives at sunrise, sunset, barbecues in the bush, a couple of days in Kruger and a visit to the rehabilitation centre. All extremely memorable and every day is completely different. All the guides are extremely knowledgeable, so prepare to get educated on everything from mating habits to footprints and animal behaviour to spotting the different types of animal poop. It’s so much more than a holiday it’s is a huge learning experience! The guides are in regular radio contact so if an animal is spotted elsewhere then there’s nothing to match the excitement of a high speed rally drive to find the animal. Hang on tight, because you really will get bounced around in the jeeps, but it’s all part of the fun! The guides ensure you get to see everything you can and we were lucky enough to see all the Big 5 within 48 hours of arriving at the lodge. Whilst we were on holiday, we celebrated a big wedding anniversary, so a big shout the staff who decorated our lodge with flowers and also set out a romantic candlelit table for two at the bush barbecue. The whole holiday exceeded our expectations and we would most definitely recommend Viva Safari’s.

A wonderful experience
Our 6 days with Viva Safaris were exceptional. They picked up us in Johannesburg, and we stayed at Tremisana Lodge, which is very welcoming. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The meals prepared by the women at the lodge were always good ( and sometimes an elephant would show up at breakfast to keep us company).
Of course, the most important part were the game drives. We really appreciated the variety of drives experiences offered, some at sunrise, others at sunset, and full day safaris in Kruger Park. The walking safari with guides Luke and Whian was also wonderful.
Mark has great knowledge of the area and explains everything in an exceptional way. A special thank you goes to our guide Smiley, who was absolutely phenomenal.
My partner and I have wonderful memories of the six days we spent with them, and we highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting South Africa.
Cheers from Andrea "the mechanic"
Meticulously organised operator
We had an excellent time with Viva Safaris. You are in safe hands with this company as they are very organised with a diverse itinerary which makes the most of your time. We had a member of our group fall ill and the staff were planned and prepared to get them taken care of.
Our safari package contained two bush walks which was very enriching. We got to see the terrain up close and learn about the complex ecosystem at Kruger - I find bush walks are rare amongst other providers. The accomodations given by the company are in good condition and right on the edge of the park, with many animals approaching the camp sites. The food served for breakfast and dinner was very tasty and homely. All of the staff gave excellent service, being polite and always willing to help. The game drivers had expert knowledge of the park, the animals and were incredible spotters. Thank you Viva Safaris!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Viva Safari
We went on a 6-day safari with Viva Safari and were absolutely thrilled with the entire experience. Everything was perfectly organized — from the transfers to the game drives, everything ran smoothly and stress-free. Of course, when it comes to wildlife, you always need a bit of luck, but we were incredibly fortunate and got to see so many amazing animals up close.
The guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and it was great to chat with them and learn more about the animals and nature. The accommodation was beautiful, and everyone from the kitchen staff to the team on site did a fantastic job.
We can highly recommend Viva Safari to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience. And the absolute highlight was having breakfast while watching elephants right in front of the lodge — simply magical!
