Great value for the money
5/5

We just returned from our Safari with Viva Safari. We went on a a five night 6-day Safari and it was wonderful. I had gone on the Safari about 20 years ago with Oversea Adventure Travel. O. A. T. It also was excellent but it cost $15,000 for the two of us 20 years ago so I would assume now it's probably $30,000. This one was well worth price. They're charging which I thought was reasonable. We saw the big five and until numbers of other animals. We even saw a pack of 12 wild dogs which I understand is quite rare to see. The food was good. The guides were good and the accommodations were good. I took a video while I was on the Safari and I'll post a link below so you can watch it if you want to.

Magical experience
5/5

As a first time solo traveller, first time to Africa and safari, I have to say that my entire holiday experience was spectacular. The highlight was my safari which I booked through Viva Safari's. From the initial booking experience via email to the actual holiday itself, I have been nothing but impressed with their efficiency and friendly nature. I cannot fault any aspect of my safari, the lodges, the food, the information, communication, comfort, facilities, game drives and different experiences and value for money was clearly outstanding and magical. I never once felt alone and felt part of a big family the entire time. I will definitely be returning and would use and highly recommend Viva to anyone thinking of a safari. THANK YOU for making my trip so special.

Well organized safari
5/5

Everything was well organized. The staff was nice and funny. They do their best to spot many animals. Tremisana was a good lodge. The food was tasty and varied.
Sometimes you have to drop off another group for a different safari, which means you travel a little longer, but it was well arranged so we didn't have to wait unnecessarily long.

Friendly, funny and polite
5/5

Absolutely value for money. The vast range of activities during the day and night as well as the accommodation was worth every cent.

Best experience ever! And we've travelled a lot.
5/5

This safari exceeded my expectations in every way, and I have very high expectations. The food and housekeeping we're great. The guides were very competent. They knew where to find the animals, and could spot animals that most people would not spot. I can't say enough good things about Viva Safaris. I will definitely be telling everyone I know about how amazing they are, and what a magical experience we had.

Superb safari experience
5/5

I chose Viva Safari after doing a lot of research on Safari companies for Kruger national park. I am glad I did. Right from the very start, with the pickup from a hotel in Pretoria, to the four days of packed activities, to the professionalism and care of staff, you were well looked after. The highlight was the bush walk to the river and the smell and sound of the African wild landscape. The viewing of the animals in the open top jeeps made you feel very close to nature. Truly special safari experience!

Fantastic
5/5

Family of 6 on a 5 day 4 night safari in Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse camp. The whole experience was unbelievable. We saw all the big 5 and much more. Special mention for Victor, Smiley, Rocky and Quentin. They were absolutely brilliant with our kids. The food was super as well, particularly in the treehouse camp. I cannot remember the name of the lady who looked after it there but she was brilliant as well. Could not recommend it enough

very professional
5/5

We were very pleased to have booked with Viva Safaris. The staff is very organized and friendly providing us with plenty of activities! Besides the trips to Kruger we enjoyed a bush walk, sundowner safari and a visit to an animal rehabilitation center. Both Tremisana and Marc's treehouse accomodations were basic, clean and comfortable. The meals were home style and delicious. I would even recommend Viva safaris to families with older children. Our transfer went smoothly - we chose to fly to Hoedspruit to begin the 5 night adventure and then take the van to Johannsiberg.

Excellent experience
5/5

I joined a 4 days 3 nights safari with Viva Safaris and stayed in the Treehouse lodge for two nights. How amazing experience I had there. It's clean of my room; good breakfast and dinner; the staff are very polite and helpful, especially mentioned Quinton, one of the managers there, he's a very helpful guy and always prepared to try to make you feel comfortable there. For the game drives, the guides and rangers were very professional and knowledgeable, tried best and successfully spotted different animals inside the park. Highly recommend.
