"This experience was amazing!! We seen lions up close as soon as the Safari started. We got to see 4 of the big 5. Highly recommended and will be back!!"

"Clement was an excellent and knowledgeable guide about all things Johannesburg. It was a wonderful experience, very humbling and interesting. I am glad I had this opportunity."

"This was an eye opening experience our Guide Cydo was the best, have a local showing the good the bad and the ugly. But to see community spirit in such poor areas give hope to humanity"

"Had a great time on this tour, very detailed and insightful. I got to watch the lion eat. I was very exciting."

"We were able to see a lot of animals on the first ride. The driver was amazing and had the best attitude."

"We had such an amazing time with Viva Safari. This was our first safari ever and it really raised the bar quite high. Viva Safari's staff were incredible, kind, entertaining, and so wise about the animals and the environment. Not only did we see the big 5 (Rhino, Leopard, Lion, Buffalo, Elephant) but we learned so much about each of them and all the other animals we saw (hyena, impala, bush buck, hippo, bush chicken, wildebeest, Tawny eagle, vulture, lilac breasted roller...). The accommodations were decent, the food was delicious, and there was ample water and refreshments throughout our stay. We had so much fun and learned so much from our guides Victor and Smiley. We opted for the 4 day safari. Some people did 3, others did 6+. There are many options, which makes Viva even more appealing. They picked us up and returned us to our hotel in Johannesburg at the beginning and end of our safari as well. These rides as well were wonderful and included a great lunch stop in Dullstroom at a restaurant called Mayfly."

"Excellent trip. Very knowledgeable guide. Nicely paced private tour. Really enjoyed the variety. Walked through part of Soweto and some areas of downtown Johannesburg. Overall a brilliant day out. Highly recommended"

"Loved it and our guide Nathi was so sweet! He explained to us alot of things along the road, asked questions to us and was very helpfull! On the actual safari we also had a really good guide, Neco, taking us around and we saw alot of animals."

"We had an amazing day in Pilanesberg. Jason knows a lot about the animals and their tracks. We saw a lot of animals. And he is a carefull and responsible driver"

"Thabang was a very passionate and knowledgeable guide. We particularly loved the visit in the township and Nelson Mandela house. A perfect itinerary with a very smart tour guide."

"We were looked after by a man called Bekkie. I think he was just outstanding and a credit to any company. this man went out of his way to make the trip wonderful. Please give him a permanent job."

"The tour was GREAT ! Abraham was a amazing tour gide. He shows us al the wonderful animals. Thank you a lot. Also a big shoutout to the taxi drivers, you are amazing too."

"Great expeywoth Solly, very nice person and knows a lot. Definitely I will hire him and his team again."

"Great tour to get to know Soweto and the history behind this town! Our guide Khutso was great!! Very insightful and great company! The Apartheid Museum was humbling. The temporary settlement was even more humbling. Loved it!!"

"This is by fare one of the most amazin experince i had in my life. The trip was just breathtaking. You forget you're high up in the air, you just try to take in all the beauty."

"Great experience. Saw lots of animals and the rangers were very knowledgable. The driver on the way to Pilanesberg was also great with a couple of stops. We stayed at the Bakubung Lodge which was beautiful, the food included was amazing, great scenery great service, so much so we requested to stay another night. What we didn't realise is that it also included 2 more game drives for the price. Great surprise. Would thoroughly recommend this tour and we would certainly be returning."

"It was amazing from the service, friendliness to the amazing breakfast. Pilot Japie was very professional and had a team with brilliant teamwork. Thank you"

"Fantastic experience. Darren was a great guide and driver, and the the safari was brilliant! Saw lots of animals and got looked after well."

"I'm not much of the type to do proper tours and tend to prefer to self-drive, but had a small window and went against my usual route and turns out didn't regret it. Went out with Sammy the first day and Breton the others. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. Great option if you're wanting a wholistic tour that isn't entirely revolved around chasing the big 5 (though we did see them all) but getting knowledge of the nature and some unexpected things. Meals were better than expected, especially given that especially on viator, there isn't a ton of detail on any of that, I was expecting bottom of the barrel. If you're wanting a ton of time in the actual kruger park, maybe better to go with the 5-day because you really only have 1 full day in the actual park itself, but that can be seen in the itinerary. First two days are definitely jam packed with the other 2 being a bit more relaxed and light on activity so also keep that in mind."

"A great morning out with our guide, very informative and enthusiastic. Lots to see in a short time, travelling from J’Burg. Recommended tour"

"Experiencing the wonder of Kruger National Park was the best part of my trip. I am a 62 year old woman and people who run this camp were just amazing, always making sure I was comfortable and happy. We had delicious meals outside under the African sky. All of the guest had meals together and it felt more like a family gathering then a “hotel” The safari guides were the main ingredient for a great Kruger Experience. They provided so much education regarding the animals and the park. It was clearly obvious how much pride they had in their jobs and in Kruger. This trip to South Africa didn’t start too well, but because of Lloyd my trip ended with so much happiness! I would 100% recomend these guys for an authentic, honest and ethical safari experience! Thank you !"
