A magical treehouse adventure full of animals and amazing people.
5/5

It was even better then expected! Our treehouse was awesome with a beautiful view of the river. Animals are everywhere throughout the camp and it really made you feel submerged in the safari the whole time. The sounds at night were incredible. Its like everything came alive at night and created an incredible sound display to fall asleep to. THE STARS!! Dont even get me started about the stars at night, WOW! The staff was so kind and the food was so delicious! We only wish we could have stayed longer!! Thank you Mark's treehouses we will be back!

100% ALL ROUND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
5/5

My grandson and I did a 3 day tour in January from beginning to end we had a ball. From being collected by efficient friendly Thabo to all the other wonderful staff to the comfortable accommodation and lovely home cooked food we loved every minute. We saw so many animals, made so many new friends. The bush was so green and alive. The affordability was the cherry on the top. Will definately do another trip with Viva.

Fabulous time was had, great ground and driving tours of South Africa nature land.
5/5

The service was excellent and the staff friendly and accomodating. The treehouse and lodge were comfortable and in a great location. Time was well organized and gave full days but never rushed. The only criticism could be that in winter the treehouses were too cold.

5/5

Viva Safaris establishments, amenities, food, services and their friendly team members exceeded our expectations during our stay at Tremisana Lodge and Marcs Treehouse Lodge. Patti was very helpful when we booked our safari.

Friendly staff, excellent customer service and well-organised
5/5

Viva Safaris exceeded my expectations in terms of friendliness, great customer service and being a well-organised 3 night safari. The email communications to confirm booking and arrangements was great. The staff were able to answer any queries I had via email and a staff member was able to pick us up and drop us off at Hoedspruit airport.

The food was delicious and plentiful, the accommodation was basic, but sufficient and clean. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals on our safaris and went out of their way to ensure we got to see some of the Big 5. The drives and walks always left on time and the days were well-planned.
One of the guides, Andy, even went out of his way to go to Hoedspruit Airport after we'd left South Africa to check if a mobile phone had been handed in. I would highly recommend Viva Safaris for an affordable experience in the Kruger National Park.

Fantastic guides, amazing experience
5/5

Viva Safaris was worth every penny, and I am glad that I decided to go with them. They arrived as stated (in JNB) and dropped off as stated (so many people to drop, but we all made it back by 6:00). Make sure that your flight leaving isn't before 7:00pm, just to be safe. The daily activities were as planned.

Workers were all fantastic - ALL, from top to bottom. Thank you to Andy, Nico, and Eva - you all made the experiences that much better. I learned so much from them (animal behaviors, territory, plants). Thank you drivers and lodge workers also.

The only disappointment is that I didn't see all the animals that I wanted to - but that's how it goes, and I was just unlucky.

I did the 5 Day package, and it was less expensive because I did it with a friend of mine. For first timers on a budget, go with Viva Safaris. I 100% recommend.
