The second time with Suricate and won’t be the last!
We have just finished 16 days wild camping in special sites from Maun to Kasane with Andy and his team. The whole experience was awesome and Andy is a legend when it comes to guiding, running the camp, looking after the vehicles and most importantly looking after us. There seems to be nothing that Andy can’t manage or solve. His tracking skills led us to encounter over 70 lion on this trip - a record even for him. This is the second time we have safaried with Andy and it won’t be the last. An efficient, well organised, thoroughly trustworthy and caring company.

Visit Botswana with Suricate safaris, the journey of a lifetime
Arrived at Maun by airplane, what a welcome by this country open to the world, having the kindness as motto! Even the border police welcomed us, first step of an ascent to paradise. Our guide and agency manager was waiting for us with a broad smile, of those we would like to see on all our European faces. Here reigns a natural kindness that we must share. A very good organization: typical lodges all comfort and camp in tents during nearly 2 weeks too. Our guide and tracker Andy, accompanied by the cooker Russel, pampered us a lot: a delicious open wood fire cooking, lots of little courtesies day-to-day and great moments during the safari.
Regarding the safari itself, we have approached an exceptional wildlife! Andy's field knowledge allowed us to approach about fifty lions, five leopards, hundreds of elephants, giraffes, hippos, herds of impalas and buffaloes, crocodiles, etc. ; the hyenas visited us at night around the fire. The birds of an exceptional beauty came to fill the rare moments of respite. A nature in communion with Human. Unique sensations in our too much regulated and supervised everyday life...
What more can I say except that this experience and this human contact have changed my vision of Africa and I’ll dare to say of the world in its universality. I came to see animals: I saw them beyond my expectations and left by leaving a little of my heart to those two friends who accompanied us and made us love their country. You fancy an outstanding discovery and an authentic safari ? Do not hesitate! But above all, deeply respect people, animals and nature: they are here in symbiosis.

An unforgettable safari !
Andy is far more than a guide. He grew up in the game reserves (his father was a ranger) so that he knows Nxai Pan, Moremi and Chobe (and probably much more) as his pocket. He is incredibly good at finding lions and leopards in their most hidden sites. We all felt perfectly safe night and day with him. Russell, the cook, and him are most pleasant travel fellows. We all appreciated Russell's helpfulness and Andy's sense of humour whatever the circumstances. Camping equipment and facilities were faultless and Russell provided us good meals all the trip long.

A wonderfull experience with a very experimented guide.
We were very well welcomed by kindly people. They take care of us during the whole travel. We saw a lot of animals in their territory. The camp was comfortable and well organised. Andy is able to track the animals. He knows very well their habits and plants and minerals too. It was a great experience to have a safari with him and Russel who was a very good cook. So we want to come back with our family next year.
