Bullying in the Kruger National Park

<p>I'm currently holidaying at the Kruger national park. Today I came across a sighting along with a few other vehicles. Everyone was waiting patiently for their turn to see the game and a Viva Safaris vehicle came and pushed past everyone driving in the veld, flashing people to move and bullying people off the road. I am disgusted at this behavior and it's unacceptable to push people off the road and go off roading when there is traffic in the Kruger Park. I have taken photos and the registration number</p>

Hi Clint

Apologies for not responding sooner - we have only just registered on HelloPeter and seen your message today.  I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience involving a Viva Safaris vehicle.  I wish you had brought this to our attention directly at the time, as we could have determined who the driver was and done a full investigation into the incident.  Unfortunately none of the guests on board mentioned anything to us either and so we were completely unaware that this incident even took place back in July 2017.

We take driver behaviour very seriously and we demand that our drivers adhere to the rules of the road and of Kruger at all times.  It is something that they are regularly reminded of, I assure you.  

I urge you to please bring any such future incidents (involving Viva Safaris or any other tour operators) directly to the company involved so that they can take the appropriate action against the person(s) involved.

I do hope that the rest of your Kruger Park holiday was a pleasant one.

Thank you
Viva Safaris management
