BEST safari experience!
We are so thankful we booked our safari with Suricata Safaris!! Hilary was so quick to reply to every email beforehand. They picked us up from the airport so late after our flight was delayed 2 times & put us up in a hotel for the night. The next morning, we were off on our trip. Mandela, our driver/guide, was very knowlegable and had the best personality. He was also very patient with us. Chazz, our chef, made the best meals! I still think about his soups. We lucked out & had 2 other groups of 2 on the trip & we all really bonded over the 4 days. During the safari, we saw everything you could imagine!! It was way beyond my wildest dreams & expectations!! The camping was amazing, the people were amazing, the animals were amazing, everything was just so perfect! Thank you Suricata team for one of the best experiences of my life!!

Amazing experience with an amazing company
Suricata from day one of contact has been an amazing experience. Hilary promptly responds to all my inquiries (I had a lot) and takes care of everything; airport pick-up, hotel stay before and after the safari and transport back to the airport. Our guide was awesome! Mandela was knowledgeable and friendly and added to our groups vibe as we were a pretty wild bunch! Super chill guy. Our chef, Chaz can cook up some meals! My personal favorite were all the different soups, but everything was good. (note that they provide all the water on the safari as well). I can't say enough good things about the experience and the company. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (you can tell I'm serious because I used all CAPS...ha!) Thanks Suricata!! From KCs from California

Exceeded Expectations
Communication with Karibu was easy and straight forward. Efficient pick up time when they told us they would be there at 7am, they were even a bit early. After going to their office and getting everything ready we were able to leave around 9am. Isaac our driver was awesome, very knowledgable and courteous. Whenever our group wanted to stop, he would stop. His eyesight to pick out animals is also amazing! He was ready to answer any questions we had about different animals. Lodging was great and better than I was expecting with proper beds in our tent and a bathroom+shower. Food was often served buffet style with a couple packed lunches in between. Everyone was friendly at our camp. Overall, a score of 11/10. I think it could only be better during the Great Migration!

Drnnis was amazingly informative of people, land, habitat, and wildlife, as we made great memories.
Everything in our safari was comfort and safety driven. Excellent service all around.

Cool name + amazing experience
We found Flash McTours through an older article on the guardian. The article named all the key words for us; "safe", "helpful" "knowledgable guide" + they had the coolest name of them all. And well, it was on the guardian so we figured it actually existed, which is scary since you pay (half) upfront from another country.
Anyway, Peter helped us tailor a safari trip that went from Nairobi (Patrick, the amazing guide, picked us up at our AirBnb in Karen) through the not very Swedish landscape, to Amboseli. We had one night and two game drives there. Then we continued to Tsavo West for one night and had one last night at the unbelievable "Voi" hotel. The food is overall the only bad part, but the views and the game drives way up for it, and ofc the food has nothing to do with Flash McTours but the hotels, which you can change if you pay more. All in all, we loved it all so hope this review made you book a trip with them, and ask for Patrick as your guide, he'll make it a good trip!

Amazing trip up Kilimanjaro with great team!!!
Thanks so much for leading an unforgettable trip to the great mountain Kilimanjaro and make our dreams become a reality. The trip was excellent, and was more than we could ever have imagined. We are very happy about the things went. We recently completed an African trip with Karibu Adventure, and was absolutely floored by their amazing level of service. All Tanzania people were so kind. It was a really pleasure and we are now evangelizing all our friends to fly to Tanzania and visit the parks with Karibu Adventure.

Amazing Experience and Service!!!
I have done a good amount of traveling with different tours and groups and this one has blown the others out of the water.
From the first email correspondence from safari coordinator- Vera, I knew we would be in good hands. Communication was EXCELLENT- which is extremely important when you're trying to book trips across the ocean. I asked a thousand questions even up to the day before excursion and always had everything answered almost immediately.
The big difference between this touring others was evident almost immediately. We were picked up on time by our driver, Thomas- actually he was early and waited for us to get ready. We were driven to the port, while Thomas took care of the border crossing. When we waited for our boat I was really disappointed to see many people joining us (always like private intimate tours), but to my great surprise they were just crossing the river to Botswana and going their own direction. My husband and I were the only ones on the boat for Luciano Tours, we were picked by a private car and taken to the border and office. I could continue to go on in detail about everything but it all boils down to EXCELLENT. It was 5 star service the entire time, from pick up, safari, lunch, and going back.
Our actual safari was only us and 3 other people - since there were limited people we got to decide to where to go and what we all wanted to see. We would constantly pass jammed backed jeeps with so many people.
For lunch we went to a 5 star resort buffet- and we saw many different tour groups-- HUGE groups-- which I felt make you lose the entire beauty of the safari.
Since we were a small group our water safari was on a small boat , which let us get so incredibly close to hippos and elephants. We saw the big ferry like type boats with the big tour groups-- not our style, too loud, too many people-- the animals usually were scared away by them.
There are not enough good things to say about Luciano Tours. I recommend their company to everyone traveling to Zambia/Zimbabwe/Botswana. I look forward to future travels with them!

The best safari ever!
My sons and I booked a 3 day 2 night safari in Chobe Park, Botswana. Saying it was amazing is not justice to this incredible experience. Luciano Tours arranged the safari. We saw lions, wild dogs, elephants and about every animal we hoped to on this trip. Our camping was in tents and everything was provided. The food was fantastic and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the trip. Our guide Percy was excellent in finding the animals. We took more than 1,000 pictures. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience.
