Guided tour and escorted transport made me safe always and could enjoy the country. Accommodation ranges from decent to luxury, I got what I paid for. The wildlife appeal is great despite tarred roads being everywhere. But not only wildlife, the scenery, history, and cuisine are fantastic. All in one country.

Our stay was incredible. From the game lodge, to the service, to the scenery, to the wildlife and guides, everything exceeded our expectations.
All staff we encountered ensured that our experience was superb and that we were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.

Everything about my safari in South Africa was amazing! The people who worked for Viva Safaris were all so nice, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable. I learned so much from them about South African wildlife, foliage, and culture. The scenery in the bush varied by location, which made each place unique, and Kruger National Park was just beautiful. It was a great experience to see so many different types of landscape in one place.

We saw SO many animals, too! Elephants, giraffes, and various species of antelope were in abundance. Our guides also patiently, diligently, and expertly searched for lions, since that's all we wanted to see, and they did not disappoint! We were also lucky enough to see rhinos, hippos, wildebeest, baboons, and so many animal species I've never even heard of. It was a surreal experience to see all of these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Truly breathtaking and life changing.

The lodging and food were adequate
Read more - definitely worth it at the affordable price point. The weather was perfect. Overall, my experience is one I won't soon forget and I've talked about it nonstop since I've been back!

AMAZING experience!!

We were a family of 4 and used Viva Safaris with a stay at Tremisana Lodge. We did a 5 day/ 4 night safari. It was the most amazing experience from beginning to end!! We saw all the “Big 5” and so much more ! Tremisana Lodge was wonderful. The grounds were rustic and beautiful , the food excellent, and staff amazing.

Viva Safaris was beyond our expectations. The safari guides/ drivers were beyond knowledgeable and our itinerary perfect. The itinerary kept us busy, but with the needed downtime in between. It was the perfect balance of activities. From Bush walks, game drives, and animal rehabilitation centers, there was so much to do and see!! We would highly recommend Viva Safaris and a stay are tremisana Lodge!!

Our experience in South Africa was remarkable. The silence of savana, the sunset and the wild life are spectacular. In addition, we were received by a very experient and lovely team from the "Wild Planet Safari company". They offered to us very comfortable camps, good food, very good explanation about wild life and total security. We totally recommend this experience.

Everything was seamlessly planned for us, so that we could really take in the sights and experience. We particularly loved the service from the lodges. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating.
