¡Viva, Viva Safari!
With my family we took the 4 days safari adventure and we has a blast!!
-Viva safari picked us up and drop us off on time! Which made our trip super efficient!!
-Accommodation: clean and confortable. The lodge is super pretty with a little pool and gardens. You will see some friendly (and hungry) visitors too!
-Staff very friendly and helpful. Always with a smile a whiling to make you feel at home. It will be hard to forget Shannon's fun rides!
-Activities: the schedule is well thought there are times to rest, for adventures and to share with other visitors.
-Food: very good. A fine mix of African and international. Thumbs up! specially because we're picky eaters.
Some tips!
-Bring your plug adaptor!
-Bring some warm clothes, it might rain and it could get cold.
-Be open to meet new people and have amazing conversations!

Fantastic guides, amazing experience
Viva Safaris was worth every penny, and I am glad that I decided to go with them. They arrived as stated (in JNB) and dropped off as stated (so many people to drop, but we all made it back by 6:00). Make sure that your flight leaving isn't before 7:00pm, just to be safe. The daily activities were as planned.
Workers were all fantastic - ALL, from top to bottom. Thank you to Andy, Nico, and Eva - you all made the experiences that much better. I learned so much from them (animal behaviors, territory, plants). Thank you drivers and lodge workers also.
The only disappointment is that I didn't see all the animals that I wanted to - but that's how it goes, and I was just unlucky.
I did the 5 Day package, and it was less expensive because I did it with a friend of mine. For first timers on a budget, go with Viva Safaris. I 100% recommend.
Dankie

Very good! Excellent service. Very professional and service oriented.
This Safari was extremely good and well organized. Viva Safari is super punctual, very service oriented and professional. All the drivers and rangers were very nice and polite, the staff at the two accommodations were also very nice, the food was very good for the location, and we almost saw the big five. We had an unexpected exciting experience when we witnessed a crocodile eat a baby zebra. The driver, Patrick, who took us to Kruger park was very good and we always got to the locations at the right time. My only suggestion would be to give us a few more minutes to buy souvenirs at the park and at the stop on the Canyons, which was actually very beautiful as well, so a few more minutes there would be welcome. Other than that everything was excellent, out three house was fun and very comfortable. The people that we meet at the Safari were very nice as well, it was a wonderful experience!!

Great organisation, flexible and friendly
We experienced excellent service, quick response to our mails and questions and flexible possibilities. Booking process was easy and clear, the safari itself was magnificent. We had very kind and passionate guides who did the best they could to give us an unforgettable experience...and they succeeded!
My best hotel experience so far
We stayed three nights at Tremisana Lodge.
The staff was very welcoming. In that hotel there is not the typical division between guests and staff. You live there together, eat together and talk together about the animals and last sightings. I reallly enjoyed that.
Furthermore the rangers really love their job and do their best to find as much animals as possible. They are very well trained.
The food is typical South African an homemade. We loved it so much.
The beds with its down blankets are amazing.
I fell in love with the bush and really miss the lodge.

Ultimate experience and Birthday ever
Viva Safaris Katekani Tented Lodge left nothing more to desire as this facility is first class.
From rooms to indoor or outdoor shower, Tub and outdoor personal pool and the amazing sounds of
Africa at night heard through the tented end of the suite along with prepared, sit down and served meals.
All tours on time, Luke and his staff are the very best, what more can I say, will be my personal choice always.
PS: My birthday party was awesome in South Africa.............there is so much more but.....Always and Thanks
