Kilimanjaro on Machame Route
I contacted Mr. Ali directly from Italy and he helped me choose the most suitable route for us to have a better chance of reaching the summit and choosing the right period.
Excellent value for money.
Everything was perfect: the pick up at the airport, the hotel in Arusha, the team of nine people who, led by Joshua, accompanied us to Ururu Peak 5895 masl.
Stunning landscapes, breathtaking nature (from the tropical forest to the Lobelias in bloom, from the giant Seneci to the lava fields and the glaciers of the summit).
Impeccably organized trekking, good and plentiful food, professionalism and kindness of the whole team.
Thanks Alì, thanks Joshua and thanks to the whole team

lifelong memories
I had contacted the organizer in advance via the whatsapp channel...I was able to get a quick answer to our concerns and open questions at any time. when the program was fixed, it was about the payment...a first deposit of 20% of the total amount was due.... I was able to pay this by credit card (without a surcharge)...we had to pay the remaining amount 1 month before our arrival...there is a surcharge of 5% for credit card payments and 3% for bank transfers...the alternative is to take the remaining amount with us (which is quite a lot of money...and the surcharge can add up)
Arrived at the airport mauch was already waiting for us with name boards. The whole organization/procedures and catering were always at the top of the list... The accommodation and camps were also very well equipped and we felt very comfortable (medium luxury level).
On the safari, all our wishes were catered for and we saw and experienced everything we had planned before the safari (4 out of the big 5...no Leopard but a Cheetah instead)...I would recommend the safari with Suricata to anyone and we would do it again. Many thanks to the Suricata crew for making us feel safe and at home at all times

Great!
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, it’s hard not to. Ken, our guide, was excellent and with good humour. He made sure that we did everything we wanted, and tried his best to make sure we had a good view of all of the animals. He even detoured to KFC for us on the way back to the airport. He was very easy to communicate with.
We got to see pretty much every possible animal, except for the rhino. We got to see early morning lion hunting, cheetahs, giraffes and elephants all up close.
If you book this tour, definitely pay the extra for the hot air ballon excursion, it’s worth it! The Maasai village visit was interesting, but be careful at the end as they will likely heavily pressure to buy souvenirs at ridiculously high prices, just be strong and say no or negotiate to something more reasonable.
Before you arrive at the lodge, make sure you have small notes for tips, as you will probably need them here and there. And when booking a lodge, be sure to ask how far it is from the entrance to the national park. Also, we paid extra for the open air car for the safari, which had no windows. We felt this was much better and we were able to see everything much clearer and also had lots of fresh air. The only downside is that you get very dusty by the end of the day, but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity so I found it to be a no brainer.
Overall, this company were very reliable and easy to deal with. We were picked up from the airport by their driver Tony, who was very nice. Fred, our liaison for the booking, met us upon check in at the hotel in Nairobi to collect the rest of the payment. Then our guide, Ken, drove us to our lodge and took care of the rest. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Great experience, our Safari with Penuel Tours
We booked our Safari in the Tarangire-National-Park from Germany and we had doubts, would it work? But it worked absolutely smooth. The details were clarified a day before and the guide was on time at the hotel. The Price included also an overnight stay in Arusha and for small many we got another night.
Our guide was Kana, who knowledgeably gave us interesting information about life and survival in the wilderness. He didn't just chase after the Big Fife, which is easier to do in a zoo, but took us to places where we were alone and could smell and hear nature. There we were lucky enough to see elephants at close quarters. It was a great day for us.

Courageous
We really enjoyed our driver Ken! He did an incredible job anticipating where the animals would go and did an amazing job getting us up close whenever he had the chance! We stayed at Jambo Mara and all the staff was wonderful as well.

Perfect!
My cousin and I recently embarked on an unforgettable safari adventure and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. It was my cousin's first solo visit in over 10 years so we wanted to make it truly special. Safari Zest Tours delivered beyond our expectations!
From the moment we booked, their customer service was exceptional. The team was responsive, friendly, and attentive to all our questions and needs. They helped us customize our safari itinerary to fit our interests and ensured every detail was meticulously planned

Great!
We did a 5-day Safari with the organisation Migration Venture Africa. Thanks to our guide Bonny, we had the best experience. He is a very kind, smart guide who drove us around safely through all the national parks. We saw a lot of animals, including the big 5. The lodges were also amazing and the staff very welcoming! We would recommend booking your safari with this company.

Our 7days / 6nights tour was tailor made - we picked and chose what we wanted for a suitable price
Sunday is absolutely an excellent driver and guide!
We, a family of three, booked a 7 day/6nights safari: Lake Manyara, North and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater.
Everything was super well organized and according to our wishes. We also wanted last minute to add a hot balloon ride, which was not problem to accommodate on the third day (BTW it was an incredible experience!). Accommodation was always very nice (The African Tulip, Marera Valley Lodge, Kati Kati camp, Baghayo Garden Suites) and service always top quality.
We manage to see all the big five (something that is not always a given).
In summary:
- top service
- competitive price (cheaper than other providers, and nice to have a child price reduction!)
- very reliable (all queries and requests answered to very quickly and accommodated)
- the tour was amazing! lots of animals and very nice to have a whole jeep to ourselves!
We definitely recommend Sunday Safaris Ltd to everybody!
