Viva Expeditions Reviews 

Size of tour group was perfect for the rail trip. Having a "personality" hosting. Lots of animal viewing opportunities.

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.

We had the most amazing trip with Viva to South Africa and Zimbabwe.
I can’t fault their attention to detail,hospitality and being the most wonderful hosts.

The trip was well organized and it was on Target with our outings.
With outings everything was very well organized.
Transport was appropriate for the outing.
People very friendly.

Well organised and great communication.
Loved it immensely
Thanks team
Highly recommend it

Group of 4 of us made the trek to South America visiting 4 countries. Viva & House of Travel put together an absolutely amazing itinerary . Every airport we were met, each guide was informative as well as great company , accommodation, transfers,flights - all spot on. Will definitely promote you guys.

We had an amazing time, met some wonderful people, were well taken care of, and enjoyed a truly relaxing experience. One of the highlights was definitely the food!

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!!

Planning was amazing and the support during the trip was great.
Will totally recommend them.

Our experiences on this holiday have been unbelievable I don’t think I’ll ever match them. Our driver John and our guide Wilson were unbelievable very full of knowledge and very helpful very friendly I would recommend anyone going on the Safari to try and get them

The tour had an excellent itinerary, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly as well being happy to adjust to specific guest needs.

The Drifters tour was very well organised. The guides were friendly, fun and knowledgeable, Steven and Zamo.
We enjoyed everyday and nice to spend one day sightseeing, driving along the panoramic route and stopping at a couple of places of interest. Great to spend a full day at Kruger NP.
I loved Andys camp and Jo taking us on safari. Accommodation was great in the glamping like tents with elephants coming in close to us and Hazyview was relaxing in a lodge setting, and shown around the premises with wildlife, coffee and macadamia trees.

Dulini Moya was incredible life changing experience. The accommodation, food, the special touch surprises, staff, safaris were a lifetime bucket list experience. The friendly staff go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. We arrived as strangers and left as friends/family. We also meet the other guests staying at Moya and had a fabulous time together. Special shout out to Poppy, Chris, Eben and Dike at Moya.

Booking flights and accom thru Viva was easy and changes made during my trip were expertly actioned and communicated. All very much appreciated

As a couple in our 70s we were a little apprehensive as to traveling Sth America for to us what was an intrepid experience. House of travel NZ and Viva put together the perfect, safe and most stunning tour spanning Chile,Peru and Brazil that we will never forget. We were met ,greeted by so qualified guides and drivers always so punctual and guys we cannot fault you. Accommodation and all tours ,travel and links perfect.Thank you so much and we will shout your accolades to one and all.Geoff and Liz Brunsden. Ps.If you are thinking about doing what we did don't skimp guys .Get the best that Viva delivers.Oh next year it's the Nile for us.Viva?

The guide I had was excellent on our tour to Valparaiso and Santiago.
But the transfer from the airport did not happen and I had to hire a Taxi.

My trip to Africa had a few minor problems, but not the tour’s setup by Viva. All of the tours were excellent. The schedule and the facilities where I stayed were also great. The tour guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. The tours far exceeded any expectations I had before starting this trip. I have hundreds of great pictures of the Victoria Falls and the Chobe wild animal sanctuary. Thank you Viva!

Everything was well organised from start to finish. We had a far more individual experience than we expected. We had our own guide for nearly all our safari experiences. We were only passengers on the flights between camps - pilot was great. The staff and management at all the 3 camps were so attentive and the service was some of the best I have ever had. We enjoyed the company of managers and guides who joined us for evening dinners with the other guests. The food was superb - whew you never went hungry. Also they catered well for Gluten free for one of us and Vegetarian for the other.
The accommodation was great- loved the outdoor showers and the night up in the Doves Nest was a once in a lifetime experience. Particular attention was made to ensure you were safe moving through the camp in the night.
We went with an open mind regarding what we would experience on the safari. It wasn't just about sighting one of those wonderful animals and birds but learning about the entire ecosystem that made the experience great. There was also the opportunity to choose between different options. e.g fishing/boating on Lake Kariba.
We could not find fault in anything. Such an amazing holiday.

Everything about our trip was planned perfectly. Once we arrived in Costa Rica, all we had to do was wake up and get ready for a new adventure and experience each day. We had the opportunity to see so many amazing places, we loved our hotels, and our drivers and guides were excellent. I'll definitely use Viva Expeditions again in the future.
