Kruger National Park
Drive to the Orpen Gate of Kruger on a custombuilt open-sided Gameviewer. You will have an opportunity to view game without intervening glass windows and also listen to and smell the denizens of the bush. We have regular stops at picnic spots, restcamps and places of interest. The Orpen-Satara-Nwanedzi region’s 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.

Mind blowing trip - Animals, Kindness, Comfort, and Adventure

5.00I can’t recommend this company enough! At first, I was nervous to try to make new friends, but it’s impossible not to. How can you not bond when viewing cats, rhinos, birds, etc. together? The staff thought of every need and comfort we would need. The conversations with the guides felt so genuine, and they were open to sharing about themselves, making the experience even deeper. Godi was my favorite guide- he was excited to show us the park, connected well with other guides, and was so knowledgeable. I also really enjoyed time with Smiley, Luke, and Quintin. Lastly, I adored the treehouses. I’ve never slept so peacefully. The bed was so comfortable, and the music of the outdoors filled the room. I hope you take a chance with Viva Safaris 🥰
Words cannot describe how amazing this tour was!

5.00We had an awesome experiance! Everything was perfect! The rooms were nice, the food was delicious, the drivers was nice, the safari guides were excellent and the service was always on top. We’ve never met people this nice and happy before. There are loads of people that deserves to be mentioned, but sadly we don’t remember all the names. But we do remember Luke and Marks names. These two might be the best safari guides in the world - very professional and super kind, they make every tour very exciting and fun. We would like to thank Viva Safaris for an unforgettable experiance!

5.00This is a very professional operation at all levels. We saw a lot, including the hyenas who stopped by at dinner our first night, the lion parade our last evening, and all of the Big Five in less than 24 hours (thank you Victor!) but what I really appreciated is the attention they paid to our needs and preferences instead of just pushing us through a standard experience. My husband is a vegan and I can't have dairy, so often when we travel our food options are pretty limited and basic. At Tremisana and especially the Treehouse the cooks really put time and effort into coming up with meals for us that weren't just free of the things we couldn't eat but actually interesting and delicious. I knew my husband and daughter would really enjoy the Moholoholo Reserve, which was not part of the 5-day trip we reserved, but I had hoped perhaps we could tag along with a group that was going on one the days we were there. Educate arranged a visit for us, but instead of adding us to another group, Charl drove the three of us there, waited while we toured the facility (which we really enjoyed), and then took us to Tremisana. Now that we're back home my husband can't stop telling everyone what a fabulous time we had and urging them to visit too. I'm attaching some of our "National Geographic Photos!" (again, thanks, Victor!)
Go with this company, you will not regret it!

5.00Too many great things to say about this company/tour in 1 review. From the morning I was picked up from my hotel, the staff were all incredible and the transportation was seamless. The first night at Tremisana game lodge was great, the bush BBQ was so much fun! The evening game drive we got to see a leopard, and the tour guides were so knowledgeable. The following morning we were lucky enough to see a male lion on the bush walk, Luke and Andy made sure we all felt safe and comfortable the whole time. The time in Kruger was AMAZING, Victor was such a fun and knowledgeable guide. We were lucky enough to see the other 4 of the big 5 in Kruger, and had SUCH a fun time on this tour. The food was amazing, all the staff, every detail was planned perfectly and seamless, I was so impressed with this company. Would love to return!
An amazing experience

4.00We joined this trip after our amazing Cape Town trip through Cape extreme . We absolutely loved the treehouse accomodation, the most delicious but simple South African food. The staff were wonderful and Quinten the ranger and assistant manager was incredibly knowledgeable. We had a wonderful bush walk with him.
