Professional
I found the entire co-ordination from the start to be very professional. During these Covid times, as is the case, I had to alter my travel plans. Viva Safaris was kind enough to accommodate. The safari was as described in their brochure. Smooth pickup, good locations and guides, on-time drop off. Friendly staff who also made customized dishes for me (vegetarian). I recommend Viva Safaris for those looking at a visit to the Balule/Kruger National Park.

Excellent service and experience
We just finished the 5 night stay at Tremisana and already have the blues. The Safari experience was fantastic and unforgettable. Going to 2 different reserves gives you a chance to experience different animal encounters. The staff were so helpful and always happy to assist with whatever we needed. We even got an extra quick morning drive that wasn't scheduled because the ranger knew some lions were close.
The vibe at the lodge was calm and relaxing. Whilst the food provided by Mama D was homely and always so tasty. We plan to come back in the future when we get the Safari itch again!

Such a great experience with so many kind and helpful staff.
Since the moment I arrived all the staff (safari guides, cooks and the tour operator customer assistant) were so kind and friendly!
They really tried their best to let us see the big 5 and get the most of our time!
Their lodge was exceptional and very clean.

Great service for a memorable tour
Having tried to book the tour for 2020, it made me sad that everything got cancelled. They saved my deposit and when I rebooked for June 2021, they were happy to oblige. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my initial flight got cancelled and would I would have missed my tour. However, they were able to rebook me for later in the week. They bent over backwards to make sure I got my safari. The driver picked me up at my friend's house and then picked up the other tour participant. We stayed at Marc's Treehouse Resort and had a marvelous time. The game drives were very good with drivers who knew how and where to find animals for us to photograph. The personal service was friendly, communications were quick and accurate, and the tour itself was the trip that I will talk about for years. I will return and retake this tour again with pleasure.

Breathtaking and life-changing experience--trip of a lifetime--seriously!
I took this trip with my sister-in-law (and best friend) in 2019. We still talk about it over and over again. The memories of the time spent in South Africa have sustained us through this past year of pandemic madness, a very disturbing political time in our country and personal family crises.
Some highlights--
warm, friendly, knowledgeable guides who obviously love and appreciate this beautiful country
rustic, authentic, yet comfortable, accommodations
well planned and orchestrated activities that filled our days with amazing experiences and numerous animal sightings (far beyond expectations)
meeting and making connections with people from all over the world and sharing delicious, home made meals with them as we discussed the days' adventures
and so much more...
I can't begin to adequately thank you for the most amazing adventure of a lifetime!!

A magical treehouse adventure full of animals and amazing people.
It was even better then expected! Our treehouse was awesome with a beautiful view of the river. Animals are everywhere throughout the camp and it really made you feel submerged in the safari the whole time. The sounds at night were incredible. Its like everything came alive at night and created an incredible sound display to fall asleep to. THE STARS!! Dont even get me started about the stars at night, WOW! The staff was so kind and the food was so delicious! We only wish we could have stayed longer!! Thank you Mark's treehouses we will be back!

100% ALL ROUND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
My grandson and I did a 3 day tour in January from beginning to end we had a ball. From being collected by efficient friendly Thabo to all the other wonderful staff to the comfortable accommodation and lovely home cooked food we loved every minute. We saw so many animals, made so many new friends. The bush was so green and alive. The affordability was the cherry on the top. Will definately do another trip with Viva.
