I have travelled with Viva Safaris twice and it was amazing both times. In particular the 2nd trip was the best as we managed to see every animal possible and the guides went above and beyond to ensure that this happened. I would like to thank Victor and Smiley for making our trip the best experience. Also, thanks to Marco for ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Hope to make it again in the future. Best wishes to everyone at Viva! DebbieShow more

We had a wonderful experience on our 5-day safari trip at the Tremisana lodge with Viva Safari tours. We got to see all big-5 and many other animals and birds. Each day was different and well organized. Our Safari explorations were lead by knowledgeable guides (Smiley, Nadine, Raymond, Rocky, and Victor). Passionate about their work, they showed us the magnificent Kruger park and its surrounding game reserves. Highly recommend the morning bush walk as one of the highlights. It all was an unforgettable experience, we miss it already!Show more
