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.

A great experience I won't forget.
It was well organized. Easy to jump in. From the first contact with them to Joberg to the reserve.
Every day we have something nice to do and I met interesting people along the way.
Totally worthy. I came back from the trip recharged and with a bag full of nice memories.

All around excellent safari.
I absolutely loved my safari experience. Everyone on staff was so warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make myself and all the other guests comfortable. It felt more like being welcomed into the family than just a guest. Everything was well planned out and the communication was excellent. The trackers and rangers were very knowledgeable and readily shared animal facts and stories. The tours were all incredible. I enjoyed the variety between the private game reserve where we could off road and have close up encounters with animals and Kruger. Kruger is gorgeous and classic safari experience, but the animals typically are further away from the road. The bush walk and the sunrise and sundowner drives through the nature reserve were my favorite activities. The lodge was super comfortable and safe. And I cannot say enough about the food—absolutely delicious! I cannot recommend this safari enough. Would definitely do it all over again!
