5 Star Company ! Fantastic
I recently got back from a seven day Safari Tour, and I couldn’t be happier. It was my first time going on safari and I’m very glad i picked Viva Safaris from getting picked up at my airport hotel in Johannesburg, to the beautiful lodge that i stayed in for the week, to the incredible Safari guides that where so helpful, and i learnt so much from.
everything it was fantastic!
Enjoyed the bush walk , 2 full days in Kruger , and so much more
We saw the big 5, As a wildlife photographer i was extremely happy with the shots i got and also the guides helping out to get great shots.
The Early morning drives and late afternoon and evening drives are perfect for photography.
They’re a very organised company and reliable , offering great communication and extremely great value for money.
Ill be back next year
Thank you and i highly recommend Viva Safaris

Amazing adventure
What a Fantastic Adventure we had at Tremisana Lodge/Viva Safari!
We quickly became a community of new & repeat guests, staff & guides. Each outing was unique in where we went, who was with us & which guides would accompany us to impart their tremendous knowledge of the animals on the quest for the big 5. Yes, we found them All & so much more along the way, up close & personal. The flora, fauna, sunsets & sunrises were absolutely gorgeous. We would gather at the patio with our new & newer friends for the most delicious, lovingly prepared meals (OMG the fried chicken & best buffalo pie in Africa). We shared our most recent spottings. stories, photos & contact info.
The facility was simply wonderful & the entire staff went above & beyond to make our stay most comfortable & memorable.
Thank you again - Ed, Mama D & all the ladies, Mark, Luke, V, Ray, Quint, Smiley & the entire staff for a once in a lifetime experience - WOW!!!

Tremisana Safari Lodge is Magic
Viva Safaris and Patricia Landau, Thank you ever so much for arranging a wonderful safari holiday for us. We had a wonderful time. Everyone at the Tremisana Safari lodge, including the manager, were exceptionally good. We had a memorable time there and feel sad to leave. Hope we will be able to make a re-visit one day in the future. Thank you again. Wish you and the team at Viva Safari all the best. Tissa, Sheila and Anupa, London, UK. 18.9.2025

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!

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!
