This experience was below our expectation. The given evaluation is mainly justify by the poor quality of accommodation. This is not the best option in terms of cost/benefit. For the price paid, we felt a lack of comfort on this experience.
The lodge was quite disappointing: the lounge was very outdated, need some renovations particularly in bathroom, our bed sheets were coloured and very used, the room had a bad smell, we didn’t had any hands towel and the amenities available had really bad quality.
As a good side:
All employees at Viva safari were very polite and helpful.
Finally, keep in mind that this is Balule Reserve Game (in great Kruger) but outside the official perimeter of national park. It took about an hour from our lodge to the park.

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.

I won’t be able to fit how amazing this experience was into words but here goes … if you are thinking about booking with Viva Safaris, absolutely do it , not only do we have zero complaints but it was an experience of a lifetime .
From a practical side, the trip was great value for money, included everything you could want , you get to see so much in a short timeframe , the schedule ran like clockwork and everything and everyone were very professional .
But from a personal side, some things money can’t buy, and that is the knowledge of all the guides , the helpfulness of everyone that works there and how they make you feel like part of a family .
Their hospitality and kindness and all the small touches were like no where else we have ever visited , everyone was so special in their own right , people skills cannot be bought and there are really some special people working there .
We had a lovely stay for 1 night in Tremisana and then onto Katekani for 3 nights , only wish it was more .for the price the trip cost I really wasn’t expecting it to be so comfortable, to be fed so well and for everything to be so perfect !
We also did a lovely trip to Mohololo Rehabilitation Centre which I found excellent and very educational .
If you want to , you will learn a lot from everyone here.
You guys have some great people , please don’t change !! We can’t name everyone but particularly we have to thank Smiley of course for his fun spirit and his knowledge , Andy for his wonderful manner and also great knowledge. Victor and Sully for being absolute gentlemen, Mama P and Mama J at Katekani for making us feel like part of a family and looking after us so well, these guys all work so hard and yet they are smiling all the time !
We even were invited for lunch with the managers , how nice is that , that they sat and ate with us , the hospitality as I said , is unbelievable .
But have to say a big “fair play” as we say in Ireland , to Nadine , one of the guides,she took us on one of the drives and I found her to be a superstar , I could sense her compassion for the animals , her knowledge , and her passion , which at the end of the day is what it’s all about in my eyes .
Thank you all for a wonderful experience we will remember it forever 🇿🇦 from liz and Karl, Ireland x

From the moment of a timely pick up- to the first safari 1 hour after arrival - we felt well cared for - perfectly scheduled- well fed - with guides who truly wanted to show us their bush and the creatures who live within! The guides can find the animals! (and talk to each other about where the animals are) The BBQ in the Bush (Braai) is unbelievable - the sunrise and sunset rides are gorgeous! Two nights we had wine/beer while we watched the orange/red sunset and hippos came out of the river! Rye (Naraya) manages with kindness and an eye for detail (each of us have our own program) - Luke is a master of the bush walk - Smiley Ha la la - Hacuna matata was our driver for most of our rides and he is all heart, kindness, sunshine and professional guide! Rocky can find the leopards in the trees and did his best to find that lion roaring in the dark! Spooky! Mama Dee makes food that is plentiful, tasty but not too spicy, and the baked goods! It is not fancy but has heart!!

The lodge is great, but close to a main road and you hear the cars, especially at night. In Kruger, we did drive the same roads and sitting all day in these open vehicles is a bit of a challenge, especially to and from Kruger, which is 1 hour each way. A recommendation to the lodge to have Landcruiser's for these trips, where you can open the roof and stand up in the vehicle when viewing game. The rangers, except one (he blocked a young elephant from the rest of his family for too long), are amazing with their knowledge and love for the animals. A big thank you to Rocky, Luke, Smily, Victor and Nadine!

Hi Monika
Thanks for your reviews .Our rangers, especially those you have named personally, are thrilled that you so appreciate their efforts.
Thank you for calling Tremisana Lodge "great". When we were looking for a property just under 30 years ago, we had a choice of a property much further into the reserve or one near the tar road. We chose the latter not only for easy access to Kruger Park but also because, in the rainy season, some of the sand roads are impassable. All our packages include visits to the Kruger Park and we need to guarantee these happen.
We appreciate your recommendation re open topped vehicles in Kruger. The Kruger Park has very strict guidelines in respect of open sided vehicles and all safari operators must have canvas tops that cannot be opened.
Be well

Amazing once in a life time experience. The guides where amazing, finding all of the big five as we bounced around in a open top land cruiser. The accommodation, while basic, adds to the adventure. Plus elephants and hyenas often walk right up to the electric fence.

For our afternoon as well as sunset gamedrive we were lucky to get Rocky as our guide. He really knows his way around the area and we got to see three out of the Big Five in short time. He has a really good knowledge about the animals and shows a lot of respect for them especially while on tour. Thank you for the nice and informative talks! Would absolutly book it again🙂

Hi there
Thank you for a lovely review. Rocky has come a very long way since he started with Viva safaris and we ae so pleased to receive such a glowing report of his ability.
What is most impressive is your respect he shows the animals - an indication of his deep love for the African bush and its denizens.

Have just returned from a disappointing safari with Viva safaris. This company provides a poor example of what the safari experience should be. I have been on more than 20 safaris and this was the most disappointing by some margin. I am surprised at the number of positive reviews, but I think guests are forgiving the poor hospitality because of the good game viewing. On a positive note, the booking process was good and efficient; some of the guides, rangers were very passionate and knowledgeable; the game viewing was good and the trip to Maholoholo wildlife refuge was very good.
However, the hospitality experience for the guest is very poor. I got the impression that this company is trying to really do things on a budget and cut corners accordingly: the food/meals were poor ( on a safari experience one should expect BBQs with varied game meat etc; not beef stews and pork chops); the accommodation is clean but subpar ( poor/broken beds); our room was next to the sewage tank/field and the noise from the nearby highway detracted from the bush experience; no ice in the bar at night; our drinks were either forgotten or the order was incorrect for both “sundowner” game drives; the vehicles are generally in poor condition and quite uncomfortable compared to previous safaris I have been on ( I was stuck in the closed cab up front with a window which didn’t open and dirty windows for the Kruger day which is almost 12 hrs long because of poor planning- fortunately this vehicle broke down and the replacement vehicle was more comfortable); there was a lack of engagement and friendliness from the management team; each activity is met with chaos and disorganisation as the guides try to fit all the guests in without separating families etc.
I did not meet a single guest who was satisfied with the guest experience! This company has responded aggressively to negative feedback in the past. I am embarrassed to be SA and this is how we showcase our hospitality to foreign tourists. Come on Viva, take this as an opportunity to up your game and provide the service which your guests deserve!

Hi Arthur
We are sorry to learn that your safari experience was so disappointing.
We are certainly not surprised by the plethora of previous positive reviews. I have taken the time to check on the last 80 reviews, dating back to November 2021.
Not one has any complaint about hospitality - in fact all mention the friendliness and general professionalism of our staff.
We have more expensive packages for tourists that like to be pampered. These include safaris at the 5 star Ezulwini Lodges and the 4 star Katekani Lodge. The Tremisana Lodge packages are deemed the best value for money safaris and are extremely well patronised.
We apologise for any inconvenience that you experienced.

Abbiamo fatto 4 giorni, di cui la prima presso la struttura Tremisana Lodge, un po' datata e 2 notti in Tree House al Marc's Camp.
Quest'ultima simpatica ma occorre un po' di spirito di adattamento e i bagni da rifare. L' ambiente però è bellissimo, circondati dalla natura e le guide eccezionali, tanto per il bush walk che per il kruger.

It's unclear from the website whether or not there are any beverages (water, coffee, tea) provided with any meal, or if everything is a la carte requiring cash in hand. If anyone who has gone on a Viva safari could help out, it would be appreciated.

We were picked up at our lodge in Josburg,by a driver associated with Viva Safaris. They drove us to our next bush camp. Actually Viva took care of all the transporting (to and from airport and to each lodge).They also did all our Safaris with us. Mozambigue looks to be a bit of a ways away from where we were. Do you want to go to Kruger National Park,in South Africa? I would think you would have to fly from where you are,unless you are driving. If you are driving~hopefully you could use GPS for directions. Please be careful. Johannesburg was not a safe place to be in...our Lodge there was gated. I hope that I have answered your question. Feel free to ask any more questions...
