Beyond Expectations!
Our safari was amazing! The guide was punctual, polite and knowledgeable. Within a few hours we had sighted all of the Big 5! The day was one which I shall treasure forever.

Safari surprises every day
We had a fantastic trip to Kruger National Park with Viva Safaris, with two destinations and therefore different experiences in each. We received superb hospitality, good, clean accommodation and they even catered for vegetarians and vegans.
The safari tours were well structured and informative and most of all, great fun. Some days the animals were quite determined not to be seen but the expert guides always found them in the end! The safari vehicles offered great views and shelter from the sun and we were never overcrowded. We also had bush walks (sturdy shoes/boots recommended) which were so enjoyable too.
Overall, the experiences we had were amazing and we hope to return in the future and would definitely use Viva Safaris again. They surpassed expectations on every level.

A Wonderful Safari Adventure from A to Z (A-mazing A-nimals to Zzz's great lodges)!
Viva Safaris exceeded all of our expectations! It was so wonderful that Viva Safaris picked us up from our home in Johannesburg and provided travel all the way to and back from the safari. The drivers were friendly and very professional. The group had a great lunch on the ride there and back and the opportunity for great photo ops at the beautiful Blyde River Canyon! The stay at both lodges was fantastic... beautiful scenery, clean comfortable rooms, delicious meals and a wonderful staff. All of the safari adventures were exciting. The animal sightings during the spotlighting tour was a bit scarce, but the entire experience was still wonderful, and we saw all of the Big Five the next day at the Kruger Park safari tour! The only thing I would change is not staying for one more night. :) Money very well spent! We can't wait to come back!

Amazing
The tour itself was really amazing. I had problems with Piero with my bookings before hand though. Paid the deposit and he continuously failed to reply to my emails regarding securing the booking stating he never received the deposit. However after he rejected my calls he sent me somebody else's number who resolved the issue weeks later. The tour itself was amazing. Our whole group loved it. Shout out to Victor who is such a legend. Always happy and helpful. All the staff on safari were great. Bus drivers to kitchen staff.. everyone was amazing.

6 Day Kruger Safari
I decided to travel last minute to South Africa and I am so pleased that I picked to travel with Viva Safaris. As I was by myself, I was slightly apprehensive about the trip however the guides and drivers of Viva made me feel so welcome - as did the wonderful group of travelers I managed to meet on various game drives. The trip was really well organised - would thoroughly recommend!

Unforgettable experience !
Thank you all for the wonderful and unforgettable moments that we spent with you guys. As a first safari and big five game drive experience for my girlfriend and I, we could not expect better experience. The organization is perfect, Viva Safari really takes care of its guests, so you can fully rest and enjoy your Safari. I will definitively recommend Viva Safari to my family and friends !

Incredible experience!!! :)
We had an amazing experience! We spent 4 nights with them: 1 in Tremisana lodge and the other 3 at Katikana lodge. I want to point out Elias as guide and the quality of the services in Katikana. Joanne and Mira were very kind and generous with us. They help us with everything and the food was incredible every single day. Thanks for this fantastic experience! Kruger Park game drive was grate as all the other activities. We were able to see a lot of animals very close! An experience to be repeated, no doubt!
