Board an open Landcruiser for a 4h Sunset Drive, your first opportunity to experience the fauna and flora of Africa.

Day 2: Bush walk and Sundowner Game Drive

Stop At: Balule Nature Reserve, Balule Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park
Awaken at sunrise for an exhilarating day of unforgettable bush life. Drive to a remote venue, where you enjoy a 4h “walk in the wild”. Your experienced, armed field guides will lead you through the bush at a pace you can handle in search of the Big Five. The thrill of following Africa’s large animals until you are close enough to take a decent photo will remain with you forever. Adrenalin surges will be acute, notwithstanding the fact that your rangers are adequately armed in case of danger. Return to Tremisana for brunch. Later you may sleep in your air conditioned chalet or swim in the pool. Our Lapa has extensive wildlife magazines. Lunch will be served at 13h30. At 15h30 we enjoy a 4h sundowner game drive. On the game drive your rangers will be in radio contact so as to keep us informed of the movements of the game. Return to Tremisana at around 19h30.

Day 3: Kruger National Park

Stop At: Kruger National Park, Kruger National Park
We travel to the Orpen Gate of Kruger Park where we board our open Gameviewer. The absence of windows and the elevated vantage position allow for excellent photographic opportunities. You will have an amazing chance not only to view game but also to listen to and smell the African bush and its denizens. There will be regular stops at picnic spots, rest camps and places of interest. Your experienced ranger will show you many animals and birds that frequent this wildlife paradise. The Orpen-Satara-Nwanedzi regions boast open plains and support large herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope that attract numerous predators. In fact the zones we visit have the highest concentration of lions in Africa !

Viva Safaris exceeded all my expectations for my first safari. Initially I was really worried about safety and the food, but after the first 3 hours I knew everything was going to be just fine. Previously, we stayed at a five star hotel in Capetown and I was not able to eat much — the meals we had at Viva Safaris were home-cooked, tasty, nutritious, and best of all did not make me ill like when I was in Capetown. Their breakfasts and dinners were very filling and what I am used to: egg, bacon, beans and toast, or protein, rice, and vegetables for dinner with a soup to start. The photo is of the first dinner that they held outside at a nearby campsite. In the first sunset drive, we were able to see hyenas, lions, an elephant outside the resort, baboons at the entrance, loads of impala, and even a giraffe. I remember feeling like if I had to leave, I would already feel satisfied. The bush walk was not as physically straining as I thought it would be, the walk had to have been a little more than a mile and the rest of the bush walk was a drive. We saw many hippos near the river. The day at Kruger was gorgeous. I have never seen so many animals living freely and happily. We saw a buffalo, rhino, leopard, cheetah, over 50 elephants, a warthog, hippos, zebras and ginoos, giraffes, Cape buffalo, and many exotic birds. My advice to other first timers would be to keep an open mind and to dress for all sorts of weather. I found that I didn’t use the warm weather clothing I packed because of the rain and the windiness of the drives. Boots or sneakers (that you aren’t afraid to get dirty), tall socks, layers and water resistant outerwear were all useful to me — and don’t forget Lots of SPF and bug spray. Thanks to Rocky who was our first tour guide he knew so much about the animals. Thanks to Luke who was our very knowledgeable tour guide for the bush walk and Kruger. Luke was able to answer so many of our questions about the animals and their behavior. I think the sign of a great safari tour guide is their ability to sight an animal from far away. Luke was able to sight a leopard on a tree in the distance.

The entire experience was amazing! Viva Safaris has a great team, and we had many memorable experiences during our stay. No need to worry about seeing animals...so many sightings and unique encounters! Stayed at Tremisana Lodge, which is lovely.

Incredible Experience! Everything was perfect - From organization of the Pick-Up in JoBurg, over the Safaris and dinners. Whole staff and guides were very attentive, not only for surrounding animals but for the whole experience and everyone’s needs. Personally just very happy to have seen the Big 5 and many more beautiful creatures of the wild life. Definite recommendation for young and old, couples, solo-travellers and families. Big thank you to Viva Safaris and La Vacanza Travel.

Absolutely amazing. Their were a lot of acrivities that happened for all the 4 days we were at the resort. The resort is in the middle of a game reserve, which means 24*7 access to the african wildlife. The highlight was the meticulous attention to the dietary preferences. Being vegetarians, separate items were cooked for us by MamaBella and god, they were absolutely delicious. The food spread was amazing. The guides and rangers were experienced and left no stone unturned to help us view the Big5 (we were able to cover 4/5 xD). The pickups and drops to and fro from the city was seamless.

Excellent service. This is my first safari and I did the 4 day, 3 night tour at Tremisana lodge and saw lions eating a buffalo at night, Cheatah from a far, 2 rhinos, and alot of giraffes, zebras and even a family of elephants. An unforgettable experience. The team of tour guides, cooks, and ofcourse people managing the lodge were all kind, inviting and helpful. Special thank you to Tuney, Nadine, Smiley, Lucky, King George, Victor, George and other managers on site. Can’t forget the ladies that cooked, every dinner was tasty and you can tell they made it with love.
