After a short break, during which you may unwind at the bar, have a swim or relax in the tropical gardens, we board the open Landcruiser for a 4h Sunset Drive. Your guide will show you various animals and birds and after darkness falls, we use spotlights to locate nocturnal species. Dinner will be an unforgettable BUSH BBQ at our Marula Tree Boma.

Awaken at sunrise for an exhilarating day of unforgettable bush life. Drive to a remote part of the Balule Game Reserve, where you enjoy a 4h Bush Walk.

Adrenalin surges will be acute, notwithstanding the presence of your armed ranger. Return to Tremisana for brunch. Lunch will be served in the Lapa at 13h30.

We have regular stops at picnic spots, restcamps and places of interest. The Orpen-Satara-Nwanedzi regions’ open plains attract large herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope that, in turn, attract many predators. In fact this zone has the highest concentration of lions in Africa.

Very well organised. Most of the guides were professional and knowledgeable. Saw a leopard, which is exactly what I wanted. Plus lots of other animals. Transport to and from the lodge was comfortable. Would recommend for solo travellers as I met some great people from all over the world.

What an amazing experience! From the initial email, communication was fantastic. We decided on the Tremisana Lodge package instead of the treehouse. Our pick up shuttle was running late, so we arrived at the lodge just in time to do the sunset safari and bbq. The staff were very welcoming. All guides and drivers were so friendly and knowledgeable. The staff at the lodge were great. The food was amazing! All in all, it was everything we could have hoped for. I highly recommend this tour and this company.

First I would like to thank you so much to everyone from Viva Safari Team to make my first Safari experience amazingly unforgettable! From start to finish - Patti was amazing, quick and responsive with all of my questions and inquiries when choosing the right package for me. It was very well organized, no hassle, simple. No trouble when I landed in Johannesburg, arranging pickup/drop off at the airport. All of our drivers (Solly1 and Solly2) are very safe and courteous. I got to see all the BIG 5 in my first hour landed in Kruger! It was an incredible experience!! I really enjoyed all our activities, there's always something new in every activities. And the best part was when all the staffs from Marc Camp prepared a surprised Birthday cake on my BIRTHDAY!!!! THANK YOU MAMA B & MAMA P and the ladies and all of the staff at Marc!!!!! VERY THOUGHTFUL AND SWEET!!!! I really appreciate it and will never forget!!! Overall: Food was decent, facilities were clean and prepared. And scheduled activities/game drive was very entertaining and well-organized. Staffs were amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, kind and polite. Drivers are very safe and patient. Thank you Rocky for carrying all our snacks at morning Bush Walk!

Booked Viva Safaris for our Kruger trip based on reviews and it did not disappoint. Good value for money, great hospitality from staff at Tremisana and the guides/ drivers. Amazing wildlife, up close and personal at Balule Game Reserve and Kruger Orpen Gate section. Accommodation was basic but adequate considering we were mostly out on activities and there were giraffes, hyenas and monkeys roaming the lodge area as a bonus.

One of the most unforgettable experiences of my lifetime, courtesy of Viva Safaris. Whether you're traveling solo or as a couple / group, you're bound to meet some great people and make memories of a lifetime. ANIMALS: We saw all of the big five and a lucky group of us had a sublime encounter with about eight lions, five of which were cubs. Some of what we saw I will never forget. Be prepared to be disappointed on some trips, however - there's no guarantee of a sighting. STAFF: What's remarkable is that some of the staff are working in 25-day blocks, with only five days off. New faces are cycling in and out every day, so you can imagine it's not the easiest job. And yet all of them made us feel like we were the only people on earth. You can also tell they love what they do, and they're very VERY good at it - these men have a sixth sense for tracking animals. SCHEDULE: Another reviewer complained about a "tight schedule"... i.e., not having much downtime. I disagree. My experience was that the schedule was perfectly balanced. Yes, you're shuttled from here to there and sometimes it can feel rushed, but the guides are trying to see as much as possible in a fairly short window. You also DO get quite a bit of downtime in-between some of the activities. DISCOMFORT: This was my first safari, and if it's yours too my advice would be to expect to be a little uncomfortable now and then. Much of the time you'll be hot or cold or tired or hungry. You'll have to pee or the mosquitos will be eating you alive. In those moments I tried to embrace the discomfort - it's all part of the adventure! COST: I genuinely felt like I had a priceless experience, so I think the cost is more than fair.
