Hello all, my partner and I spent 6 days in Kruger with Viva Safaris and it was a wonderful experience! From pick up, to drop off, to stops made along the way to Kruger (to change transport etc), it was very well organised. The lodge is situated in an excellent area for game viewing, with majority of good sightings being done on our more local morning and evening game drives.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly, special shout out to Smiley who was with us for the majority of our trip. WOW! He made sure our needs were met, and tried his absolute best to get us the best viewings. Thank you to all the staff from the kitchen, as well as Luke, Nadine, Rocky, Raymond and Victor also. The days to Kruger are long, driving there is 1.5 hours roughly, and same back. As this was the highlight of our trip and many other guests, I would really like to recommend that vehicles leave a lot earlier. You arrive at Kruger around 10am, and by this point, a lot of viewings have already taken place. We saw all of the Big 5, as well as painted dog and many more wonderful animals. The food was good, we didn't go hungry at all, and the schedules were well planned. Again, just if there was one change, we would have loved to have actually spent 'full days' in Kruger if this was possible. We would highly recommend Viva Safaris overall.

Amazing experience thanks to the guide!
This was our first safari, me and my partner had a 6 days budget safari Masai Mara Nakuru naivasha Amboseli. It has been a great experience, we saw all the big five and a lot of different animals. Our guide Charles K. managed everything on time and drives us to see amazing scene everywhere, explaining about animals and lands. The accommodation were good enough. Thank you Charles!!!
The only negative was we were not told that the payment by card has a extra cost due to the exchange, around 6%. If we would know we organized differently, it is not a detail. For this I cannot give 5 star.

Very well organised and responsive
We found the trip to be well organised with no hiccups. The food was great and so much of it! We had a great time and our guide/driver didn’t tire of us asking him to stop. I liked to variety of places we visited and overall I think the trip offered great value for money. We didn’t get to go to the Mara river but I would recommend that if time allows.

Very good agency
We spent two days of our Safari with this agency to visit Lake Nakuru. We had a good time and everything was followed as planned. We recommend it for your Safari in Kenya!

Enjoyable safari with good food & accommodation and a good guide!
Overall, we had a good time. Though on the first day before the safari started the Organisation had some struggles with picking up the guests. We had to wait for almost an hour for our pick up and it seems like the other guests had similar issues. Apart from that the Organisation and the whole safari worked out perfectly. We also got picked up from the airport and brought back to the airport 2 days after the end of the safari.
We stayed in mid-range lodges, which we enjoyed!

Excellent organization!
We booked a 5 days game drive safari in Queen Elizabeth NP combined with gorilla trekking in Bwindi. Our guide and driver, Arthur, gave us the best time! The lodges were amazing and all transportation was well organized. The highlight of the trip was without a doubt standing face to face with the gorillas. A once in a lifetime experience! We definitely recommend travelling with Tubale Safaris!
