A Remarkable Safari Adventure with Viva Safaris in Tresimana and Kruger National Park
Our recent safari adventure with Viva Safaris in Tresimana and Kruger National Park was an absolute masterpiece of wildlife exploration and natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional hospitality and dedication to conservation set the tone for an unforgettable journey.
Kruger National Park's sprawling landscapes and diverse wildlife came to life during every thrilling game drive. The guides from Viva Safaris showcased their expertise, sharing captivating insights about each animal we encountered, from elephants to lions. The lodge accommodations in Tresimana perfectly blended comfort with an immersive wilderness experience.
A highlight was the guided walking safari, where we tracked wildlife on foot, gaining a deeper connection to the environment. Under the African sun and starlit skies, moments around the campfire were filled with laughter and camaraderie.
Viva Safaris' commitment to creating a sustainable and educational adventure shines through. This safari was a transformative journey, reigniting my passion for nature and leaving me with cherished memories. If you're seeking an authentic and awe-inspiring safari, Viva Safaris' Tresimana and Kruger National Park experience is second to none.

Very efficient staff, wonderful trip
My first contact was with Patricia, who helped me solving a problem with a local company, and provided me a very good address for my stay in Johannesburgh after the safari. The trip between Johannesburgh and the lodge is long, but when we arrived we were welcomed by Tuney's wonderful smile... and Victoria the olifant. All staff members are efficient and friendly. And, of course, the nature is wonderful. We saw large amounts of animals: olifants, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffalos... An unforgettable trip.

Amazing
Went here as part of Viva Safaris 6 day Tremisana/Treehouse Safari holiday.
Was blown away from the first game drive to the last, Balule gives you a very up close experience of near enough every animal. Lions and elephants so close you could touch them!
Every member of staff was happy and couldn’t do enough for us.
A special mention to Lucky and Smiley, the best guides you could possibly have, always full of information and keeping everyone laughing.
10/10, sad we couldn’t have stayed longer!

Great staff and Great experience!!
I had a group of 11 friends and family.
We had a great time with Viva in Kruger NP.
We saw all of the Big 5 plus many others.
The staff was extremely nice, and we even made some new friends. Patti is the best to work with, setting up the trip? We loved the whole experience, and this will not be our last visit!!

Awesome tour operator from booking assistance to the safari itself.
I came across Viva Safaris whilst doing a research on Google for a short safari holiday.
It was going to be my first safari experience.
From the booking process to the stay,everything was great.
Patti assisted me in the booking and she was very prompt in her responses , making it so easy to book the tour.
The accommodations and the tours were as described in the brochures.
No hidden extras or costs and they explain all in a leaflet you get on your drive to the lodge, including how and how much to tip the drivers and the guides.
I would say great value for money and very reliable especially with the airport transfers and transfers between accommodations.
The guided tours were amazing.Saw so many animals including the Big 5 and the guides are very friendly and knowledgeable.Overall the staff at all locations were great and helpful.Not to mention the cooks

Awesome Viva Safaris
We (I and my husband) had a wonderful time on our tour in South Africa because of Viva Safaris. The only thing we can say, Viva safaris is just awesome tour operator for everything, from day 1 until the until the end of our 6 days tour.
Professional
We were a group of four who immensely enjoyed our 3-day safari - at all levels, really.
Communication with Viva Safaris via email, pick-up and transport from airport hotel to Tremisana Lodge + the Kruger Park.
The absolute highlights: the evening drive, the full day in the Kruger and the Blyde River Canyon stop.
