Our trip through Southern Africa

Our safari trip through Southern Africa was amazing! The camps and lodges recommended by Viva were first class and really looked after us. We saw all the big 5 and many more animals besides. When we realised that there was always someone there who knew where we needed to be, when, and helped us through the formalities, we could truly relax and enjoy the experience. This has been on our bucket list for years, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. If there was any room for improvement, it might be in the online guidance we read before the trip, which was a bit general rather than about the lodges we were visiting. And where the camps gave guidance about tips, the expectation seemed a bit higher than the Viva guides. But overall we had a fabulous trip.

Hi Susan, thanks for your wonderful feedback, glad to hear you had a fantastic safari and saw lots of incredible wildlife. In regards to the tipping guidelines, they are definetly just our recommendation and you are welcome to use these rather than the local requests, or whichever you prefer, these are not compulsory. We hope you can travel with Viva again soon.

Fun relaxing time at Stewart Islandd

Our guide Shona was very nice, helpful and informative. The pace of the tour was good, not too fast or slow; not too many things so we also had time to ourselves to do whatever we wanted. The stargazing that was included was very comfortable and illuminating. The kiwi spotting tour guides were very passionate and friendly. Overall very well organized.

The comfort of the train

The comfort of the train, the food, the drinks and especially the staff. The excursions to the game parks were wonderful - we saw the big 5 in two days!
Having the walk around Rovos before the train trip was very interesting.
Thank you so much to those that must have spent hours organising it.

Outstanding holiday in Mexico

We had a truly amazing holiday in Mexico with Viva Expeditions. It was amazing from start to finish. In particular our guides were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The hotels were all in excellent locations, unique and quite lovely, the transfers all went smoothly. Our every need was catered for and we had the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you!

3 month adventure in Africa

Just got home after a 3 month adventure in Africa, all booked thru Viva. Started in Cape Town and travelled thru to Joburgh via Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe with Drifters, it was accommodated and lived up and more than I expected, the tour leaders/drivers were knowledgeable as was well as great sense of humour. My next safari was the Kruger National Park again with Drifters but different tour guides, so many animals and saw the big 5 as well as the most of the ugly 5. Then on to Kenya, Uganda (gorilla trek) and Tanzania, is time with Intrepid. Some interesting experiences, got up early one morning and watched a bull elephant wander thru the camp site, it was still dark, he was only interested in a tree he wanted to eat, joined by 3 more. Spent 10 days chilling in Zanzibar before heading off to Morocco, loved the accommodation and the camel ride. All in all a very exciting and enjoyable adventure, though one down side I had to transit in Cairo and would have liked to have spent a couple of days there to see the museum, fingers crossed I will get back there.

Viva definitely the company to use for South America Travels

We were very impressed at how thorough Viva were through their communications, the quality of the guides, the pick up and drop offs, the hotels etc. Special mention to our guide Nancy in La Paz and Omar and the driver in Bolivia. They both went out of their way to ensure we were well looked after.

What went wrong is that we never went on the trip as I got advice given to me by my staff that come from that region the areas being traveled in were not safe so we canceled the trip.

It’s a shame you did not join us on our recent Africa by Rail with Hilary Barry journey, I was onboard and it was an amazing experience.
Johannesburg is a major hub for many people travelling into Africa, as with all of our tours we collected everyone at the airport and took them to a wonderful and very safe hotel and the following day boarded a luxury train from a private train station. Nobody felt unsafe and those that arrived prior to the beginning of the tour had a wonderful time exploring Johannesburg on guided tours. We then through South African game parks and into Zimbabwe finishing off the trip with a sunset cruise in Victoria Falls. I’m sorry that your staff members put you off travelling and that you missed the opportunity to see what a diverse & beautiful place Africa is.

Astral Tourists from Miami Seek Australis Aurora

6 of us from Miami, Florida decided to be Astral Tourists and we we went through Viva Expeditions to help us find the rare Australis Aurora. Not only did we we find it twice on the fascinating Stewart Island, NZ, but also on a custom Viva tour on islands in southern Tasmania.

Viva had many fascinating tours planned for us as well, including nighttime Kiwi spotting, astronomy classes in the International Dark Sky Zone, fishing, penguin sightings, hiking etc. We had an absolute adventure of a lifetime. Beke, our tour coordinator was absolutely fabulous, and was attentive to our every need.

We could not have been more pleased!!
