5-day safari it was amazing
The 5-day safari that we book with Suricata Safari it was beyond our expectations.
Rocky it was our guide for the Safari, and he did an amazing job, teaching us about the animals, the landscapes, making us laugh and sharing his knowledge. We will always remember your words: THIS. IS. JUST. THE BEGINNING.
Also we want to say the food it was delicious, our chef Tito delight us with his food.
We were so lucky, we see the big 5 on day 2, including bunch of lions, 2 leopards, a chetah with his baby, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, and many more animals.
Definitely will recommend book a safari tour with Suricata.

Bluecrane Safaris is terrific!
My husband and I took a 13 day safari in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun to be with. The lodgings were terrific, and the price was very reasonable. Best of all, we saw so many wonderful animals! Bluecrane Safaris took care of all the details, so all we had to do was enjoy the trip. We saw people on safaris from other tour companies who were not so lucky; they had problems with transportation, lodging, etc. Our trip was as smooth as could be. I highly recommend Bluecrane Safaris.

professional and thorough service
The tour staff and the staff at all of the restaurants and properties were top-notch with efficiency and professionalism. Everything was always on time and as expected. The food was always very good! The tour guides and the Safari guides were knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff at the accommodations couldn't be more accommodating. The tour provided exactly what it offered. In its descriptions and itinerary.
as many others have stated I could've done more time in Cape Town especially since we were there during rainy season. I also would've liked to have seen more active experiences offered. Like biking, hiking, kayaking. I do understand that time was Limited. I've seen many beautiful places in the world. And had my breath taken away. Nowhere else in the world could I or did I experience safaris. this is what makes the travel all the way to Africa so worth it. It's an incredibly unique experience. Go touchdown tours did a fabulous job giving us this opportunity. we went on at least six different safaris. We saw all of the "big five"

It's worth taking the trail to see Kilimanjaro
We did the 1-Day Shira Plateau-Kilimanjaro Hiking. The guide was attentive and kind. It's not a very tiring trail.

Exellent
2023 i travelled to Tanzania. Finding a good company for our safari was a bit challenge. After sending some emails to some of companies , whistling travel quick reply our mails. Me & my wife we had a lot of questions, Alex-Whistling Travel Tour Director answered all our questions. As we arrived in Tanzania Alex was there at Kilimanjaro Aiport waiting for us & he transferred us to hotel in Arusha. The next day we started our 4days safari. we visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The last day we drove to Arusha airport for our flight to Zanzibar. I recommend Whistling Travel for anyone who need a safari in Tanzania !!!

Stan the Man - Keeps his promises and shows the good stuff
Wife and I rode with Stanley through Kruger National Park. Had a tremendous time seeing all the animals and hearing Stan’s facts about them - symbiotic behaviors, idiosyncrasies, etc.
Stan was clearly knowledgeable and spoke in a very engaging way. We were lucky enough to see lots of elephants, lions, and giraffes! Almost caught a glimpse of a leopard (was hiding in the grass) and we were lucky enough to see a pair of rhinoceros just a few meters away!
Would be more than happy to ride with Stan again, and absolutely dreaming of the day we can come back.

A bucketlist adventure
We loved our safari with GoExplore Safaris. Brian, the owner, put together a great itineary.
Our first driver in Tanzania, Stanley, was fantastic. He was patient, kind and knowledgable. We always felt safe and we learned and saw so much with him. The Serengetti was everything we hoped it would be.
After a few days in Tanzania, we crossed into Kenya and joined our next guide, Joseph. Joseph was equally amazing. We enjoyed his company he assured our time in Kenya was memorable. We saw so much in Maasai Mara thanks to his expertise.
On the Uganda side, we met our lovely guide, Rachel. We loved learning about life in Uganda from Rachel. She taught us a lot about the local customs, food and way of life. She has a great eye and made sure we saw lots of wildlife during our long hours in the car moving from one location to the next. We loved our time in Uganda and made memories to last a life time gorilla & chimp trekking.
The only suggestions that may have made this trip better would be 1. an option to upgrade hotels for an additional cost (most hotels were more than fine but it would have been nice to upgrade if different/better accomodations were available), and 2. An option to fly between some locations as we spent a lot of time in the car (I will say the drive was beautiful, despite some roads not being great and we saw sooo much more of Africa than we ever have before flying in bush planes).
We booked this late and during busy season and we are absolutely satisfied with our experience.
Thank you Brian, Rachel, Stanley, Percius and Joseph for crossing this incredible adventure off our bucketlist. :)

Excellent tour, incredible human quality
Where to start? I can gladly say the 8-day tour we did with Africa Uncovered Safaris has been one of the best experiences in my life. The company is relatively new, but they are a great group of professionals. Archie was very informative via email since we contacted the operator and it facilitated things, bookings, etc. Tafara was our guide and we are extremely happy to have enjoyed an incredible experience with him. We shared many beautiful, mystical moments with him. He is always smiling, laughing, joking, a good driver and he is very flexible with timetables. Our tour started in Victoria Falls and Zambezi river, then we moved to Chobe, Elephant Sands, Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt pans and then back in Victoria Falls. I really reccommend this 7-8 day experience as you can get to see lots of animals and have a general idea of the main natural parks in Botswana. The quality of food in the different lodges was quite good, plus the accommodation was great. The tour we chose had a final price of ca. 2700 USD, which is a good quality price for what you get. We have been really lucky to see the majority of the animals in the different game drives, natural parks, even on the main roads. I can perfectly say we have seen >200 elephants, many hippos, jirafes, crocodiles, zebras, many types of antilopes, tens of birds (including vultures and eagles) species, wildebeests, a few lions and a leopard (in Chobe), rhinos (in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia). The majority of the wild life you will see in Chobe, so I really reccomend doing all possible activities in that immersive natural park. The Okavango delta will bring a great experience with locals that use mokoros and the landscape is stunning. Salt and Elephant pans are magical places. I really reccomend doing Devil's pool as an optional activity, what an adrenaline shot! This is overall an experience that you cannot miss if you are fan of nature, animals and want to see how Safaris work. We will repeat for sure in the future!
