Amazing experience
was an absolutely fantastic experience. Laurian accompanied us from start to finish, planning each day together with us and always suggesting the best possible itinerary. All the lodges were wonderful, and the parks were truly unique.
We spent five days that felt like one big family, which made the experience even more special. Laurian is an extremely intelligent, friendly, and empathetic person. He explained everything we saw with great passion, always teaching us something new along the way.

Highly knowledgeable and accommodating
Our safari with Ndutu Green Explorers was an incredible experience overall. We had a private tour, four nights five days. The wildlife viewing was outstanding. We were lucky enough to have Gilbert who went far above and beyond and we saw the full Big Five, along with countless other animals. The time spent in the parks was truly unforgettable.
Gilbert was knowledgeable, calm, professional and excellent throughout the trip always answering any questions we had. Even when the vehicle had some mechanical issues (which was the only mishap in our trip) he handled everything smoothly and safely and got the car working again.
Special thanks to the team as well who helped return our baggages (in the same day) to us when they were lost by the airline!
The only minor downsides: our first nights accommodation was weaker than expected due to a booking unavailability. Also logistically it would be better if guests can arrive a day earlier and leave a day later since the experience would be less rushed. It was go go go the entire time we were there. That said, it did not take away from the experience at all, just be prepared for minimal downtime.
Overall, fantastic wildlife, great service, and a memorable trip. Would absolutely recommend Ndutu and if you do pick them ask for Gilbert as your guide.

Theodore was a very nice and competent driver!
The pick-up at the airport worked flawlessly and our driver Theodore was very nice. I would recommend SA anytime.

We enjoyed our experience with Theodore, who was very capable driver, gentle and informative.
Theodore picked us up on time at our accommodation in Sandton and was super friendly and kind during the entire drive to Kruger. We felt very safe with him as a clearly capable driver. This transit was arranged through our safari tour operator, Knap tours. Very happy with our experience overall, even though the van had limited leg room.

Unforgettable
We traveled as a group of 10 people — 6 adults and 4 children aged between 9 and 13 — and chose the 6 Day Tremisana / Treehouse Safari package.
From the very first moment, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. We spent the first night at Tremisana and the following four nights at Marc’s Treehouse, which is truly a magical, one-of-a-kind place. Sleeping in the heart of the bush, surrounded by wildlife, is an experience that is hard to put into words and something we will treasure forever.
The Viva Safaris team is absolutely outstanding. Every single member of the staff is incredibly kind, professional, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about their work. From the warm welcome to the amazing rangers, everyone went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and attention to detail are simply exceptional.
The entire program was perfectly organized in every aspect: schedules, transfers, game drives, and activities ran flawlessly, like a perfectly synchronized machine where nothing ever went wrong. This allowed us to relax completely and enjoy every single moment.
The food was excellent, plentiful, and very varied, another wonderful surprise that exceeded our expectations.
And of course, the wildlife sightings were beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw an incredible variety of animals, far more than we ever hoped for, making every safari an exciting and unforgettable adventure.
This experience was truly once in a lifetime, unforgettable for both us adults and our children alike.
If you are considering a safari in South Africa, do not think twice — choose Viva Safaris. We cannot recommend them highly enough, and we are certain you will not regret it!

Amazing experience with a great itinerary and good communication
Loved the experience, everything was very good, communication with Steve was fantastic, making us feel comfortable all the way through, didn’t need to do any prepayment, and he was always service oriented and attentive to our needs and wishes. I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
