    Amazing safari! It's not far from Johannesburg, they picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb door, super punctual.
    We managed to see 3 of the Big Five. Our guide was super experienced and very friendly, with a lot of knowledge about the animals and the savannah.

    Great experience. The drivers were very punctual and friendly. The guide inside Pilanesberg was very knowledgeable and fun. He answered all our questions and stopped for as long as we wanted. He brought us to great places very sightings very notifies from other vehicles. Therefore we saw a lot of variety: elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, a Cheetah, a lion and much more.
    I highly recommend this tour

    I booked the 7 day Tremisana safari and it was awesome. Everything has been arranged perfectly. From the booking procedure and communication to the pick up and the game drives and activities every day of my trip.
    The food was delicious, the guides were terrific, the garden beautiful, the room clean and the overall experience exeeded my expectations. Getting to meet people from allover the world was an exciting plus! I would love to come back again and I can certainly recommend Viva Safaris 100%

    We chose this trip as we only had limited free time in our business trip, and it definitely worth it, a short trip from Johannesburg, and we entered a great adventure, we saw lot of animals like Giraffes, Zebra, Impalas, Kudus and Hyenas, unfortunately we didn’t see lions. But overall it was an excellent experience, the driver picked us on time and the ranger was very enthusiastic and she had a wealth of knowledge of the wild life.

    Wonderful experience. There are only 6 units, 4 were unoccupied so there were only 4 of us. The on site staff are wonderful. Tembe is essentially your private chef. A wonderful cook. She even baked a birthday cake for one of the guests. the Vivia Safari staff are wonderful also. The full day Kruger drivers/guides are knowledgeable. One of the Viva managers checks up with you at night and confirms the next day schedule. We saw baboon, mongoose, and hyena around the camp.

    With our experienced rangers we were able to get up close to the wildlife and caught a rare glimpse of a leopard. This stay is perfect for anyone looking for the ultimate luxury experience in Pilanesberg. The accommodation was beautifully designed and we regularly saw animals outside of our rooms.

    We had a wonderful tour! It was so fun to meet up with others as a solo traveler. I loved being picked up and dropped off and very much enjoyed our time at the Lion and Safari park. We were there at feeding time and the guide had a lot of great information about the animals!

    Tim pick us up at our remote accommodation (way out of the usual pick up) and took us to the tour. We had a very nice chat in the ac mini van. He offered tea, coffee , water and biscuits! We had a lovely tour with our guide and we saw giraffes, impalas, ostriches, wildebeest and monkeys! The tour lasted 2 hours and Tim was even there when we took a break and he took some pictures of us! It was a great morning and Tim was very knowledgeable of his country! Would recommend this tour and Tim!

    The arrangements made by Norman were excellent and on ground everything went smoothly throughout!. From my first inquiry, Norman has been very responsive and answered every question, I had asked without hesitation. Kruger is an amazing experience and so was the combination with the beautiful Panorama Route. His team and guides were very good. Well recommended without any hesitation

    One of best Lion Park experiences i have ever had. So many lions and other Carnivores to see!! The private tour is definitely a must if you want to see more wildlife.

    A fabulous day! A pleasant drive out of Johannesburg with a driver, Bobo, who could tell me lots about the villages and mines we passed. At Pilanesberg, it was into an open truck, with 2 others and the animal sightings began almost immediately. A male and female lion beside the road were a thrill as were elephants crossing the road only 2 or 3 meters away and a rhino pooping right beside out truck were amazing. The lunch stop was great, right beside a waterhole with lots of 4 legged visitors and the food was delicious. A wonderful day!

    Together with 6 friends we had a great experience around Kruger. The guides where very helpful and did everything they could to make the trip worthwhile. The camping area was very nice and the food in the evening was amazing, they made traditional food and always ate untill we were full.
    The guides and people from the campsite where always very friendly nice to be around. It was always nice to have a good laugh with them and learn from what they had to say.
    I would recommend it to other friends and family!

    We had a great time with Africa Moja Tours! The accommodation was impeccable. The guides were funny and very professional. Our safari guide helped us spot animals from far away. The experience wouldn't have been the same without him. Even on the drive back, Isaac the driver generously shared many stories of his life that helped me get a deeper insight into his country and culture. We had to get up very early for three days in a roll but in the end it was worth it. Thank you very much!

    Literally couldn't have gotten any closer to the lions (on several occasions) and rhinos (the guide had to move the truck when one got a bit too close. We saw three cheetah, spring box, antelope, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, ostrich , and so much more. Great facility and good food options at the restaurant. Well worth the short drive from Johannesburg, but note, this isn't an actual safari but rather a curated drive through several separate, gated compounds that the predators from each other. The predators are fed so they don't have to hunt for themselves and the other animals get hay supplements that ensure they bunch together for easy viewing.
