Imagine... inhale the fresh balmy air of African Bushveld. Fall asleep to the gurgling of the river, interrupted by the eerie whoops of hyena, spine-chilling wails of jackals and the plaintive cry of the thick-tailed bushbaby. Awaken to the melodious chorus of birdsong and watch the activity of wildlife drinking at the river or at our spotlit waterhole. Walk along the pristine banks of the perennial Klaserie River amongst huge Sycamore Figs and giant Matumi trees…

5.00The tour deserves 5 stars. The pickup and the dropoff were punctual and easy. And here I have to say that the drivers were always flexible, kind, funny and the communication was very easy. Sully #1 and Raymond (which had to drive all the way back to retrieve my phone - I'm really sorry for that and thanks a lot!) are the ones that I recall the names, and both were great! Sully #1, I reckon that that bus stop is the best in the world! The staff at the accommodation (we stayed at 2 different ones) was also very polite, funny and helpful. Quinton's knowledge is impressive, Mama G's food was fantastic, and Rai at the reception was very quick to solve my problem (stupid me!), aside her kindness. Sadly I don't remember the other guides', staff's and driver's name, but they are absolutely good on what they do. Our guide made a 1-hour detour just because he knew where the lions were. The lion was walking so close! A fantastic experience! It's impressive how dedicated they are to get us a good experience! Oh, and this guy who was always saying out loud AMAZING and BELISSIMO, and how happy he was to be alive! That's something which turns anyone's mood for positive! Thank you all! You made my Kruger experience much better than I was expecting! (And no stupid losses or accidents!)
Exciting

5.00Staff very nice and polite. Guides were very educated, polite and helpful guys. Food variety for vegetarian or special meals is pretty slim. Tents clean and comfortable. What animals you will see on the drive is not predictable. The morning bush walk was kind of disappointing. We didn't see any animals. But the guide still made it interesting.
Amazing 3-Day Safari

5.00This was my first Safari experience and due to limited time I decided for the 3 day Safari and I couldn’t be more grateful to the team of Viva! With limited time and perfect organisation they made the most out of the 3 days trip; even though I’d recommend to add another day if you have the time! Special thanks goes to Luke and Victor for the game drive in the reserve, making it possible to spot 4/5 of the big five during a beautiful sunset. Also huge thanks to Andy for the full day Kruger tour. Your service and knowledge were really outstanding! Also thanks to all the other rangers, guides and staff at the campsite and lodges. 10/10 recommended
Great safari with really nice staff

5.00I had a really great time on this safari. The guides were really knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. We saw so many animals!! It was a dream come true. The stop at Blyde Canyon on the way back is a nice plus as well. All staff was nice and friendly; great driver Tabo, excellent cook Tiger, and super field guides and bushmen Raymond and Talli. Thank you to Nyarai and Luca as well. I only have a small complaint: even for a "budget" safari, I find it absurd that drinking water it's not included in the meals that were provided. I understand for soft drinks and others but water should be included.
Amazing start to finish!

5.00We booked the three day tent tour. It was a once in a lifetime experience and exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was comfortable, good nights sleep, close to showers and bathrooms and was truly surrounded by nature. The food was nice and always served with a smile (and monkeys for company!). Jordan took us on a sunset drive which was incredible, we saw 3 of the big 5 on the local reserve with a sunset and beer backdrop. Fortune, our Kruger guide, was incredibly knowledgable, we saw the big 5 (at least 2 different sighting left of them all) and many many more! It was a once in a lifetime experience. Amazing photos and unforgettable memories! Thank you Patrica and all the staff.
