The guides were all very good and helpful. Very forthcoming with history and site knowledge
Drivers were punctual helpful and drove safely
Accommodation was excellent and in good locations
We did some communication problems due to our telecommunications companies lack of roaming packages for some countries while this is not vivas problem we did have issues receiving boarding passes on WhatsApp and email in areas with poor wifi
Perhaps sending them while we were still at the hotel would have been better
However we wouldn’t hesitate to use viva again and have already recommended them to friends

Antwort von Viva Expeditions

Thanks so much for your review, great to hear you had a great trip to South America, including the Galapagos!
In regards to communication, sorry to hear your roaming package wasn't working very well. We usually use e-sims ourselves when travelling in South America, so we might try and recommend those to travellers. Thanks for your referrals, we very much appreciate it!

100% adventure and no stress

I had a pretty tight window between flights to organise a tour so I thought I'd go for it, and the team at Viva Expeditions were so helpful and responsive getting an itinerary set up for me. If I'd had to figure out the logistics myself I'd probably have given up and missed out on some really cool experiences, so I'm very thankful they were able to make it work!

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.

Antwort von Viva Expeditions

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.
