An Unforgettable Experience with Serengeti African Tours!
I had the best time of my life!
From the very beginning, my travel specialist, Neema, was absolutely incredible! She helped me choose the perfect package based on my preferred dates, activities, and budget. She was always professional, attentive, and happy to answer any questions or address any concerns I had.
Eli, my driver, was very polite and friendly. We spent the entire road trip talking, and he made journey enjoyable.
Shedrack, our tour guide, provided us with amazing information about the safari, local culture, and food. He always made sure we were having a great time and that our cooler was fully stocked!
Every single person working at Serengeti African Tours was professional, welcoming, and polite.
I also did the hot air balloon safari, and it was hands down one of the best experiences of my life! I highly recommend it. Don't miss out!
The game drives were absolutely incredible. I had the opportunity to see the Big Five and so many other amazing animals. Every single penny was worth it, especially considering that their prices are more affordable than those of many other companies.
Serengeti African Tours made sure my kid's dream came true while ensuring that I had the best experience possible.
I will definitely be booking with them again in a couple of years, and next time, I'll be bringing my entire family so they can enjoy this incredible experience just as much as I did!
**Don't wait—book your adventure with Serengeti African Tours! You won't regret it!**

Anton and Robert are amazing human beings and excellent professionals.
We thought we were going to have a lifetime experience during our first visit to Africa and our first safari but this experience went much beyond.
Excellent organisation from the Suricata team - that supported us since the first day as our luggage got stuck in Kenya. After a turbulence arrival, they provided us all their attention and on the next day we woke up with our luggage picked up and delivered to the hotel.
After that, all was perfect. The lodges, the game drives, the relationship within the car was top notch. Anton is genuinely a great human being and very kind, always with a smile in his face although sometimes we faced some hiccups proper from an adventure in the nature, surrounded with beautiful animals from the big 5 to the least loved, yet as amazing animals like hyenas, pumbas, serval cats, giraffes, etc.
Even the group that the Suricatas organized in our car was simply the best possible.
Last, on the last day we did a safari in Lake Manyara with an open jeep with Robert and, again, what an amazing human being. These kind of experiences reminds us that the world is made of beautiful people and this is how we are able to create unforgettable experiences.
A special thanks also to the entire team, that organized everything perfectly and were working hard in the background to make the whole experience as good as possible. From the supply cars, the drivers that are constantly supporting each other when needed, to the crews from the lodges.
Suricatas is a must and will be our recommendation to everyone.

An unforgettable safari experience – Thank you, Anton and the Suricata team!
We spent four unforgettable days exploring the Serengeti, Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, with Anton as our guide. We absolutely loved every moment of the experience, and he was a huge part of what made it so special.
Anton was an incredible guide, not only because of his knowledge and dedication, but also because of his personality. He was always in a great mood, full of positive energy, and even when unexpected issues came up or everyone was getting tired towards the end of the day, he somehow always managed to keep smiling and maintain a positive attitude. It was clear how hard he worked to make sure we had the best possible experience, constantly looking after us and going the extra mile to make our trip memorable.
I will wholeheartedly recommend Anton to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
To finish our trip, we visited Lake Manyara with Robert in an open jeep, and what an amazing experience it was! Robert was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who went beyond simply showing us the animals. He explained the science behind their behaviours, their habits and everything happening around us. I was particularly impressed by his genuine curiosity, passion and dedication to his work. You could really feel how much he loves what he does. It was the perfect way to end our trip. Thank you so, so much, Robert, for such a memorable experience!
One of the things that touched us most, beyond the safari itself, was witnessing the sense of community among the guides. Whenever a vehicle needed assistance or something had to be fixed, guides would immediately come together to help one another, even when working for different companies. It was beautiful to see how genuine this support was. You could really feel that they are one big family, looking out for each other. That is something we will remember just as much as the incredible wildlife encounters.
And a special thank you to the entire Suricata team. All the hotels and lodges were amazing, and we met so many hardworking, welcoming people along the way. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, the Suricata team took great care of us. Even when our luggage didn’t arrive at the airport, they handled everything and coordinated with the airport to make sure we received our backpack in time for the safari. That level of care and attention made such a difference and gave us complete peace of mind.
Something else that really impressed us was all the organisation and hard work that goes into making a safari happen, something I think many people don’t fully realise when booking this kind of experience.
Behind every day in the parks, there is so much happening behind the scenes: coordinating vehicles and suppliers, having extra cars available in case something happens to a jeep, preparing all the food, organising and packing the picnic boxes, making sure there is always enough water, and even taking care of all the fuel logistics. Every day, our jeep was also cleaned and prepared for the following adventure.
All these details might seem small individually, but together they require an incredible amount of coordination, teamwork and dedication. What impressed us even more was seeing how much of this work happens after the team has already spent a long, tiring day out in the parks. The effort behind the scenes is just as impressive as the experience we get to enjoy as guests. It really made us appreciate the entire team even more.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Anton, Robert and everyone at Suricata, for making this trip so special. We will be recommending you without hesitation!

Amazing safari with Kush! He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable!
What a fantastic safari! We enjoyed every moment of these incredible days in Kenya, and having Kush as our guide made all the difference.
He really put in the effort to find the animals and make sure we could see them up close. We especially appreciated how flexible and attentive he was, always adapting to what we wanted to see and taking the time to explain interesting things about the animals and their behaviour.
Seeing four of the Big Five on our very first day was a wonderful surprise, but the whole safari was full of memorable experiences.
A huge thank you to Kush for making this trip so special. We would happily recommend him to anyone visiting Kenya!

Where do I start....
We initially booked with Antonio Safaris for a six-day safari from Nairobi, from 26th to 31st October, only a couple of weeks before travelling. We had received several quotes, but with Edna’s support, Antonio Safaris provided us with a very competitive package while also giving us the flexibility we needed.
From our first enquiry, Edna was extremely attentive, helpful and communicative. She made sure we had everything we needed before booking, kept in touch in the lead-up to the safari, and even checked in with us while we were away to make sure everything was going well.
On the morning of our safari, we were met by Tony, the owner, who had taken the time to personally welcome us and thank us for choosing Antonio Safaris. This was a really nice touch and immediately made the experience feel personal.
We were then introduced to Evans, our guide for the six days, and honestly, we could not have asked for anyone better. Evans is an incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming person who put us at ease from the moment we met him. Throughout the trip, he shared his extensive knowledge of Kenya, the places we travelled through, the national parks and, of course, the wildlife. His passion and enjoyment for what he does were obvious throughout the entire safari.
Evans was also an exceptional wildlife spotter, he seemed to know exactly where to look and would always make an effort to position the vehicle perfectly so that we could see the animals clearly and get the best possible photos. He also took some fantastic photos with his own camera and shared them with us at the end of the trip. The only downside was that the safari had to come to an end and we had to say goodbye!
Following Edna’s recommendation, we stayed at Sarova Mara Game Camp while visiting the Masai Mara. It was an excellent choice. The camp provided a fantastic, authentic safari experience right in the heart of the Masai Mara, meaning we could maximise our time inside the reserve and experience both sunrise and sunset over the savanna. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the staff could not do enough for us, and the choice and quality of food at every meal were excellent. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.
We also spent a couple of nights at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, and this place genuinely had the wow factor. The accommodation consists of beautiful, spacious bungalows surrounded by wildlife. We had giraffes, zebras, waterbucks and monkeys roaming directly outside our windows, and at night we could even see hippos grazing on the grounds.
It felt like having the experience of a giraffe hotel at a fraction of the cost. I honestly don't think I have ever stayed anywhere quite like it. Once again, the staff were fantastic and the food was excellent.
During the trip, we also did several activities that I would highly recommend, including cycling through Hell's Gate National Park, taking a boat trip on Lake Naivasha to see the hippos, and walking amongst giraffes and other wildlife on the island. These experiences added another dimension to the safari and made the whole trip even more memorable.
I would highly recommend Antonio Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Kenya. From the initial planning with Edna, to the personal welcome from Tony, to the incredible six days we spent with Evans, the service was outstanding from start to finish.
You can genuinely tell that the team loves what they do and cares about giving their guests the best possible experience.
And if you are lucky enough to have Evans as your guide, you are in exceptionally good hands. We genuinely couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Dream safari trip
The actual safari itself was brilliant, the lodges we stayed in were excellent, the food was always nice. Really good value for money, we did 5 day mid range safari and it was perfect amount of time. Damian our driver was also great, very knowledgeable and friendly and we felt well looked after.
Only negative was I had asked company for final itinerary which they didn’t send and the order of our safari and a lodge we stayed at had changed. We were with a group going 4 day and then joined a different group and driver for our fifth day. But the company was easily contactable and everything was booked for us.

Easy to work with.
I went on an 8-day mid-range private (solo) Kenya-Tanzania safari in October. I chose Ejas because their quote fit my budget and preferred itinerary best. Arrangements were all done online and communication was easy via e-mail and WhatsApp. The trip went very well. Though in hindsight, I should have spent less time in northern Serengeti (October was at the tail end of the season for Mara river crossing) and more in central Serengeti. I should have also skipped the Ngorongoro crater since I saw a lot already in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and the Serengeti. If I started in Arusha, it would have made more sense to visit the crater. I had two knowledgeable guides, one in Kenya and another in Tanzania, who ensured I had a great time. I felt safe and well taken cared of. Hand-off was at the border. The vehicles were as pictured in the brochure and had provisions for charging electronics. The roads were rough and we had a flat tire four times but we had spare tires and delay was minimal. The accommodations were comfortable. Laundry service was available for a fee (I paid USD 20 for 2 pants, 1 shorts, and 3 shirts in a camp). Food was good, even excellent in some. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Ejas.
