Better in life than on tv
We should have extended our three day to a four day Safari. We visited multiple reserves, we did a sunset safari, a sunrise safari and an all day at Krueger national Park. It’s just amazing to see these animals in the wild. I think the sunset Safari was the favorite for our group of 10. We will definitely be back for more safaris in the future.

Amazing time at Black Rhino Lodge
The guide/driver was so knowledgeable and found us so much wildlife to see including birds. Black Rhino Lodge was 5 star in terms of accommodation, food and staff.

Delightful hospitality, amazing views
I had a great time visiting South Africa. Cape Town was lovely. The people were so hospitable and the food was fantastic. I then visited Kruger for a 7 day safari with viva safari. It was a once in a lifetime experience that was incredible. We saw all of the big 5, plus so many other animals. The guides were great, the accommodations were great, and overall it was just a lovely time. The bush walk was especially fun too.

A country of natural beauty with warm and welcoming people.
In addition to seeing the big five, I saw penguins and the most beautiful sunsets,

UNBELIEVABLE!!!
We honestly had the most amazing time on our safari. From the moment we were picked up for transfers it was a 10/10 experience - all staff were so friendly, the tents were well equipped and a great experience, the camps were wholesome, the food was delicious and the safari's were just the best experience ever! I would recommend it to anyone!

Safari met all our expectations and more
Safari was everything we expected it to be and more. Ivory Moon Lodge was excellent and Chef Forward was top notch. Animal viewing was brilliant but guests should know to be prepared for long days for optimal animal experiences. We had 2 days where we were in the vehicle at 5 AM and not back to the lodge until 5 PM. Next safari, we will schedule more time to enjoy the lodge.

South Africa is absolutely epic! There’s just nothing else like it on the planet!
I absolutely can not say enough good things about South Africa and the amazing beauty and magic that fills the land. I don’t think I’ve seen so many epic sunsets in a row as I did here.
The elephants and giraffes are my favorite, luckily I got to see so many of them it was beyond what i imagined. I was lucky enough to see all the big 5 and the little 5 on my first trip!
If you are considering going to South Africa I highly highly recommend doing it! This was by far the most amazing experience I have ever had.

Amazing experience, highly recommend
The agency picked me up from a hotel in Joburg, arranged every day everything was smooth and confortable. Great rides through Kruger part as well as the private reserve. The private reserve guide let us pick what we want to see or hunt down. I saw baby lion with his mum, we had a picnik with the sunset by the lake with hippos. I saw cheetahs going hunting in the morning. 10/10 highly recommend as a safari experience! :)

Combines unforgettable Big 5 safaris with some of the world's most spectacular panoramic landscapes.
This was my first trip to South Africa. It was extremely successful and delivered exactly what I was hoping for from a safari. I saw all of the Big 5 and a wide variety of other wildlife. The guides impressed me with their knowledge of both animals and plants and their remarkable ability to locate wildlife. The ability to leave the roads and track animals in a private reserve was a major advantage over a national park-only experience. I enjoyed additional excursions to the Kruger National Park and the spectacular Panoramic Route, giving me both wildlife and scenery. The lodge itself was peaceful, intimate and uncrowded. I particularly appreciated watching wildlife from the lodge veranda while relaxing between activities. The food, staff and overall hospitality exceeded expectations.

A stunning country
Loved every minute in South Africa from The Karoo to Cape Town to The Kruger. Amazing sights, scenes and wonderful people everywhere. Truly unforgettable.
