Amazing 5 days/4 nights safari with Viva Safaris. From the beginning, communication with Patti was clear and efficient. Guides and rangers were the best, super friendly, helping, and going above and beyond to provide us with the best experience. Food at Tremisana was yummy, rooms quite comfortable, and all employees at the lodge were lovely. Got to see the big 5 and many more animals! It's definitely an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

At the end of a business trip, I did a private 5-day tour to Kruger. I was collected on time and returned to the airport in time for an earlier fligt, which other tour operators would not promise. Tremisana Lodge has its own wildlife preserve and its own tours there, but there were also two days in Kruger. The combination is ideal - we saw a male lion, elephants, hippos, hyenas and two rhinos in the local area, but lots of giraffes, kudu, zebras, gnus, more lions and cubs plus half a leopard in Kruger - only its ass and tail were visible in the tree! :-) The combination of the two areas is very good, though the drive to Kruger is a bit long. The "everyday" system makes it possibel to put your own tour and experience together on request, though it means you cannot really form a group with others for a longer joint experience. Mama D was a great cook and mother for all, Raymond taught us lots of new things on the bush walk, Rockey and Smiley found us many animals including two Rhinos, and Nadine found a male lion roaring and calling for females at the night drive. Thanks for the familiar athmosphere, also to all guys whose names I do no know! I hope to have business again to SA so I can come again afterwards. Burkhard

We had a great time on our safari through Viva, and got to have so many incredible up-close animal interactions. We liked the combination of having game drives in both Kruger and in the reserve, as the dynamic and opportunities afforded from both differed. The accommodations were excellent, and staff was amazing and knowledgeable.

What an amazing experience!! Once in a lifetime, so pleased that we chose Viva Safari. We did the 5 day Tremisana Lodge safari, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The staff were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, making sure that every safari we did was unforgettable. Tremisana Lodge itself is very clean and well maintained, the meals (thanks mama) were plentiful and delicious. Although all the staff were brilliant, special mention to Lucky, Smiley and mama. Highly recommend Viva Safari's
