Very welcoming and hospitable
5/5

Had a great time on the tour. The staff were all incredible and genuinely cared about every guest. Itinerary was planned well and we were not left with a dull moment. My one comment is that the drive from Johannesburg to Kruger is quite far, and id recommend taking the flight to Hoedspruit if possible.

Tremisana Lodge, a place and an experience which will always be remembered.
5/5

We, party of three, stayed at Tremisana Lodge for 5 nights / 6 days. The length of the stay was perfect, every day a new program and new challenges, (don't book a tour less than 4 days). The staff and the game drivers welcomed us like family and it felt like home from the beginning. The accomodation including the daily fresh cooked meals were definitely value for money.
The game drives to Balule and Kruger were experiences not to forget. We were lucky to see the big five multiple times on different days, multiple times it was our game driver who spotted the animals first before other cars came to the scene. The drivers are very professional and know what they are doing. Beside that they are also great people to talk to and to socialize with. (On this SA trip we also had experiences with other game drives and drivers in other parks where we were "handled" as regular tourists being driven around witout any explanation of the wild life or putting in extra effort to find wild life).
Trustworthiness proved itself, before booking the trip all our questions were perfectly answered and all answers and information given was exactely how it turned out during the visit.

"Keep it simple, focus on nature, and prepare to be blown away
5/5

6 days 5 nights done at tremisana. If you look for an authentic experience this is the place to go. Fokus on wildlife, throrough knowlege of guides, very friendly staff and mama d cooks simply fabulous and authentic food. The rooms are basic but clean. I was looking for that kind of trip and was not in search of a luxury lodge. To me it was an amazing stay overall and the focus is the wildlife. That is why i was there and i was very satisfied, for a backpacker and globetrotter just purrfect. 👍

An amazing experience
5/5

My seven-day safari with Viva Safaris was an unforgettable experience! The absolute highlight was our extraordinary guides, whose knowledge of the bush and wildlife was incredible. They answered every question with enthusiasm and expertise, making every day a learning experience. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food and kitchen team were wonderful. I always felt safe. An exceptional experience from start to finish, made truly special by the people who brought it to life. I definitely got more than my moneys worth! Highly recommend!
