Happy, caring, fun and a great driver!
Everything was perfect! Communication, comfort, consideration in fact we didn’t leave the park until we saw a lion … customer satisfaction! 😁👍
We live both Tanzania and Rwanda. The hot air balloon ride was another level!
Roadside were exceptionally in archival our requests and even at the last minute! Laurian made sure we had anything we needed and altered eating venues at our request. Just perfect!
One thing about Tanzania and Rwanda driving time distance is it is a lot longer than what google maps says! We were expecting a 20 minute drive (was 1 hr) ; 2.5hr (was 5hrs) the longest drive ended up being 7 hrs. So be prepared for the slower roads especially in Rwanda!

7 day Best of Tanzania and Kenya Safari - Very good communication and reliable
Excellent tour and strongly recommend. Communication was good so tour planning was very easy. I wanted to see great migration and Nicholus was constantly checking the status and moved one night stay to northern Serengeti to be able to see the great migration in early October. Good value to see both Maasai Mara and Serengeti.

Tongasi was extremely kind, outgoing and made our time in Victoria Falls very memorable!
This was the best company we worked with while traveling throughout Africa. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to explore Zimbabwe without having the additional stressor of planning excursions before the trip. Tongasi and his team were very organized, on time, and friendly! And, every excursion they recommended was AMAZING!

The Best Safari Experience!
Big thanks for an amazing Safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro! The entire trip was memorable. We were able to spot the BIG 5 and it was just fantastic thinking that we had only 3 days tour. I just want to say a BIG THANKS to Baraka who was really the best tour guide! He was very professional and he explained to us about every single wild animal that we saw in the park. He shared us the books during the trip and also promised that he will do all he can to let us spot the Big Five, which he did! He is a wonderful person, with a lot of passion and dedication to what he is doing. Big thanks to Chef Samson that cooked for us delicious food over the 3 days of Safari. The camping option was great with all the facilities. The wildlife in the parks is simply wonderful to see! I would definitely recommend Suricata Safari to everyone.
Thank you.

Excellent experience and amazing service
Savannah Explorers made this bucket list trip an unforgettable experience. From the initial outreach and planning, Agustin made everything so easy and was incredibly responsive to our requests and revisions. During the safari, Jackson was an amazing guide. He’s friendly, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and history. Owing to his great skills spotting and pointing out animals, we managed to see 52 different animals, including all of the big five, in five days. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

UNFORGETABLE
We booked online from Brazil and were a little concerned at first since none of our agents here knew the company. They went to Joburg airport to fetch us upon our arrival and since then we were so well cared and pampered all the travel long.
Our guide, Norman, made every day a special day - always patient with my kids, eager to show us places and tell stories. We not only recommend the services but also consider them part of our family.
Can't wait to travel to SA again.

Amazing experience and excellent service!
Everything was as described and the communication with the guide was always excellent. I had some special requests and the guide always was eager to help and offered me the best options for what I was expecting for this trip. The whole team was amazing, but the cook was so good!!
Before the trip, we talk about what I was expecting and suggested me to rent some equipment, which was a great idea, and during the hike he was always paying attention to how I felt and gave me very useful tips.
I totally recommend Life Journey Experience!!!

6 days camping safari Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We enjoyed our safari very much, we saw all the animals, all the big 5 (and all the ugly 5!), and were so lucky to see four rhinos in the Ngorongoro crater!! We also appreciated the efficient organisation Unfortunately, the safari in lake Manyara was limited in scope because of the flood (game drive in the morning only) but we could see plenty of animals and also saw many elephants at very close proximity. Also, the substitution cultural tour in Mto Wa Mbu was ok (although we didn't appreciated the selling visits at the shops). Our chef Boga was amazing, cooking for us delicious meals all 6 days, and so were the driver Viktor and Fidelis, who picked us up from the airport and back, they were very kind, cheerful and friendly. We were only a bit disappointed with our guide, Salehe, who was not much talkative, and at times we found he wouldn't put much effort, we would have liked more explanations and involvement. But overall we are very satisfied.

A land of stark inequities and stunning wildlife
We landed in Johannesburg and spent several days there. The highlight of our stay there was a tour of "The Best of Johannesburg". It included Constitution Hill, Mandela's house, an informal community in Soweto, and the Apartheid Museum. Learning about the history of South Africa brought up for me many similarities with the inequities in my own country.
We next traveled to Sabi Sand for a 5 day safari. It was excellent. Our guide and tracker were great. We saw the big five and more, including some amazing birds. We loved the bush walks, and we learned about a lot about the flora of the bush and the smaller animals. While the density of the wildlife cannot rival Botswana or the Serengeti, the variety was there. Also with strict guidelines about a maximum of three vehicles per sighting, there were no crowds. And with the ability to go off-road to track certain animals, we got some amazing sightings and pictures. All six of us thoroughly loved it.

An amazing adventure
An African Safari is a once in a lifetime experience. If traveling from the US, be prepared for very long flights. We booked our own flights & even business class - these are Long flights. Ranger Buck Safaris arranged all the logistics of our trip within Africa. They did an excellent job. We were greeted at each new location, and escorted to our next destination. It would be very difficult to do on your own. The resorts (camps) were beautiful; the camp staff, guides, and trackers all spoke English. September is still the dry season which is perfect for viewing animals; cool mornings & evenings, warm mid day. We have amazing pictures, but you need to be there to get the true feeling of Africa.
Safe travels.
