Joyfull Experience
It was my second trip with Viva Safari's. It was a recommendation from a South African friend. The staff was easy going, efficient and accomodating. Mama T at the tree house made great meals. I would recommend to any friend. Paul

Amazing Big 5 Safari and Bushveld Lodges
Great Big 5 safari in Balule and Kruger Park ! Incredible wildlife sightings including a leopard, black rhinos, lions, elephants, hippos, hyenas, crocs and other species like a saddlebill stork and ground hornbills. Beautiful bushwalk in Tremisana and great dinner at the Marula tree on the arrival night.
I had an absolutely amazing time at both Tremisana and Marc's Treehouse Lodge, each lodge has a very distinct feel that I enjoyed tremendously.
Big thank you to all the staff at the lodges and to our guides for making this such a great trip!
Viva exceeded all expectations an excellent sufari
I am 77 and took my 50+ daughter on 7night, 6 day surfari from Johannesburg. Everything about my interaction with Viva cannot be faulted. The first contact on was Patrica, who guided me to lodge accommodation, rather than tree house, which was the best fit our age group and made it a much more comfortable experience.Our rooms has bed, shower and toilet, very comfortable.
The staff at Tresemane lodge were excellent , nothing was too much trouble and they were friendly and helpful all the time. The guides were very knowledgeable of all the animals, habitats, habits, e.t.c
The meals, while not fine dining, were all tasty and healthy. My daughter is ciliac ( gluten allergy) and the chef took her under her wing and, where necessary, provided a separate meal and/or dessert.
The animal sightings were impressive , lions, elephants, black and white rhinos, hippos, giraffes, impala monkies land, buffalo. Imissed seeing a leopard however others in our group did. Our group size was 5 which allowed for closer attention from the guides
I cannot praise the staff at Viva more highly and would recommend this Safare to all

World class team and life changing experiences.
Viva safaris Safari experiences has had to be one of the nest and life-changing experiences me and my family have had experienced. From the drivers who fetched us and dropped us off, to the welcome we received as well as the professional yet fun tour guides in Nadine, Marc and luke we all had so much fun and learned so much. My highlight was witnessing a pride of lions bring down a kudu bull and eat it. You won't go wrong if you book through and with Viva safaris.

Awesome experience with Viva Safaris!
This was our 3rd time visiting Viva Safaris. We have seen it all in Tremesane from prides of Lions going on their evening hunt to troops of Elephant, many Hippos and Giraffe are spotted near and around Tremesane and the Oliphants River. One of my favourite all time experiences has to be the dinner at the Murula Boma tree and spending the night on the deck in the middle of the bush. Viva Safari's is without a doubt, our favourite bush destination.

Fantastic service and experience.
We stayed at Tremisana Lodge for 3 nights and it was fantastic. The accomodation, food and staff were all very good. We went on 4 safaris and a bush walk and saw 4 of the big 5. Only the elusive leopard was missing. Also saw lots of giraffes, zebras, hippos and crocs. The number of animals was amazing. Thanks to Pattie for her help in organizing our trip.

Outstanding, kind and friendly experience
I did a 6 day Safari tour with Viva and stayed at the Tremisana Lodge. Everything was outstanding. All the staff, the experiences, seeing such an incredible amount of wildlife, the accommodation and especially the food, all was fabulous. I enjoyed every Safari, walk, drive and visit and thank you to everyone at Tremisana for the laughs, company, caring and excitement. I 100% recommend this adventure with Viva. Tremisana Lodge you ROCK!
