Consulting, organization and acommodation were great!
Balule as a smaller reserve was great, didn't like Kruger as much as it was more a drive in a safari zoo. Tremisana and Marc's treehouse lodge have both been great places stay and very welcoming. The game drives in Balule had been more personal and Rocky our guide had very good instincts. The Bush walk at Marc's treehouse lodge was more about plants and animals' behaviours which was very interesting and added great value to the trip.

The experience was magical
The accommodations for the first night of our stay was sketchy at best !!! - when we transferred to our "tree house" camp, the accommodations were as expected and honestly, a step up from where we stayed the first night. The tours were fantastic - the drives/guides were knowledgeable and the vehicles were great - we spotted all the animals we wanted to see (except a Leopard) - was a great time of the year to go on Safari (warm days and cool nights/mornings) - also, since it's outside of the "rainy" season, the vegetation made for great animal spotting! Overall, the experience was fantastic!
Amazing Budget safari
Tour well organized and amazing. Tremisana lodge comfortable and nice. Marc's camp budget, cooking and staff very good. Planning organization efficient. Tent too small and without place to wardrobe.
it was a very nice experience at tremisana, great time and guides, marc’s much less nice
it is all pretty good, especially at tremisana was fantastic, amazing rangers and professional guides..lovely experience! marc’s was pretty poor

Amazing days with Viva Safaris
We had an amazing experience with Viva Safari. We have been quite unlucky in Tremisana (could happens) but our guides did theyr best to spot something. In Marcs Threehouse (especially during the Kruger day) we had right the experience we could only hope to have: amazing.
Very good experience
It was my first time in Africa, my first time camping and i really enjoyed it. Staff very gentle. Good places. I have a problem with my tent and it was fixed quickly and nicely. Lot of food at night! Really good experience and i will recomended it for sure.

Lovely place and amazing people
I stayed at Tremisana with Viva Safari.
People working there are really nice and the place is affordable and lovely. I would only say that may be the location is not the best, as you can't see a lot of animals given that the surroundings are dry. But this is nature!
However, compared to other safaris they do have a pick up and drop off service to Johannesburg which makes things easier for people travelling by myself like me! I went to South Africa for business and stayed some extra days for a Safari.. and it's an amazing experience!!!!
May be there are other places in better locations, but the charm of the staff and they way you feel there makes every penny worth to!
Worked perfect
Description of services and lodge were according to real Life and ewerything worked as it should.
