6 Day Kruger Safari
I decided to travel last minute to South Africa and I am so pleased that I picked to travel with Viva Safaris. As I was by myself, I was slightly apprehensive about the trip however the guides and drivers of Viva made me feel so welcome - as did the wonderful group of travelers I managed to meet on various game drives. The trip was really well organised - would thoroughly recommend!

Unforgettable experience !
Thank you all for the wonderful and unforgettable moments that we spent with you guys. As a first safari and big five game drive experience for my girlfriend and I, we could not expect better experience. The organization is perfect, Viva Safari really takes care of its guests, so you can fully rest and enjoy your Safari. I will definitively recommend Viva Safari to my family and friends !

Incredible experience!!! :)
We had an amazing experience! We spent 4 nights with them: 1 in Tremisana lodge and the other 3 at Katikana lodge. I want to point out Elias as guide and the quality of the services in Katikana. Joanne and Mira were very kind and generous with us. They help us with everything and the food was incredible every single day. Thanks for this fantastic experience! Kruger Park game drive was grate as all the other activities. We were able to see a lot of animals very close! An experience to be repeated, no doubt!

Family friendly and budget friendly - a great sampling of all that the area can offer!
We felt secure in the organization of the program - did not have to worry about tiring organizational details as we felt that we were looked out for and informed when needed. Our kids were treated with patience and kindness- means loads when traveling in rustic conditions like meeting an elephant in the bush!

Great Experience!
My fiancee and I booked a three day lodge safari tour including a day at the Blyde river canyon.
We were really looking forward to an experience of a lifetime and we weren't disappointed!
The whole tour was well organised from the pick up at our hotel, to the daily long drives deep into the savannah up to the drop off back to our hotel again. All the drivers and guides were extremely friendly and provided plenty of information throughout our tour. The river canyon trip, while short, was worth the visit and provided stunning views of the river down below!
We didn't manage to see lions and so we are planning to use viva safaris again to complete our big five game!

Very reasonably priced and well run
My husband and I wanted to experience a safari that was not outrageously priced and I found Viva Safaris. We had a wonderful experience with them. The guides were great and the food was excellent. They had activities all the time, which was included in the price. We definitely recommend them.

One of the most profound experiences of my life was spent with Viva Safaris!
My daughter, who had recently graduated from college, and I spent six wonderful days with Viva Safaris last July. We both were impressed immediately with the correspondence leading up to our trip, the arrangement to be picked up at our hostel in Joburg, and the perfection with our entire trip. The accomodations were clean and comfortable, the grounds were beautiful, the food was great, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable and took great care in making sure we saw as much as possible. We took advantage of every drive offered...even 5am drives that we weren't scheduled to take, if there were extra seats! I loved seeing not only animals, but birds too, and the guides were more than happy to point them out and stop to let me photograph them. On one day in Kruger we saw the Big 5 all before noon! We just can't say enough about the great experience we had and highly recommend it!
Great Experience with 4-Day Safari
I just returned from a 4-day safari with Viva Safaris, spending time at the Tremisana and Katekani Lodges. Overall, Viva did a great job. There were lots of drive and walk opportunities and I was always busy. Meals were great and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The Katekani Lodge is especially wonderful and I highly recommend it.
