Omar is kind, thoughtful, funny, and so knowledgeable.
Game-drive Travel Africa Safari Agency was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this agency to anyone and everyone. All drivers were so professional and knowledgeable. Beyond kind and funny. Well worth your money.

She is an amazing lady and knows how to treat clients with respect and care as well as ensures custo
My trip was a 3days 2nights in maasai mara. I loved everything starting from the time keeping and the mode of transport. Lydiah came in the morning before we started our safari and interacted with us which is great. Her driver is awesome and experienced too. We were able to enjoy the safari unit forgetting the awesome accommodation she recommended. I was very happy. I am looking forward to book another trip with ladina travel safaris because they are the best.

Our first Africa experience with Roko Safaris was amazing!
In preparation to our holiday we had lovely contact with Miranda and Roko. In consultation, a very nice trip was put together, where we were able to make choices between various accommodations. The contact went very smoothly, both by email and WhatsApp. We booked our own flights and were picked up by Miranda on arrival in the middle of the night. It was very nice to be picked up at Kilimanjaro airport by a familiar face. We were taken to our first accommodation and after several hours of sleep and a delicious breakfast, Miranda was ready to show us some of the local African life. After a relaxing first day, our amazing safari began.
We are very satisfied with the trip. The combination of a week of safari and a week of Zanzibar was really nice! And that through a very small-scale and personal travel agency, so lines of communication were short. Also the accommodations booked were all very nice, including good food and very friendly service (Especially Mkomazi Wilderniss Retreat; magical place!!). Also the driver (Cosma) drove safely and comfortably in a jeep that was fine for us. What we noticed compared to other safari jeeps, was that our guide Roko really tried his best to spot the animals in the back of the jeep. Roko was very eager during the entire trip to find the big 5 for us, and.. we spotted them (the Rhinos during the last 5 minutes of our safari). Big thanks to Roko! Well done!
As tips, we would like to give the following suggestions/feedback:
- Last day to save miles in the Jeep, book/recommend guests a flight from Serengeti National Park to Zanzibar via Seronera Airport. (instead of driving back to Kilimanjaro/Arusha)
- For us personally: some game drives were a bit much both in duration and kilometers in one day, due to the bumpy roads. Moreover, we were not fully prepared for this either.
- More communication of destination, travel time, day/driving schedule / plan the campaign etc. We as guests like the advice from you as guides, after all you know best what to do. Take us even more into that during the day.
- In retrospect, for the week safari we did not quite have the right luggage with us matched to the weather. Possibly a packing list for the guests would be helpful.
- Some more guidance on how to deal with local people regarding tipping and donations (e.g. playing children asking for candy)
Thanks again so much for making this unforgettable trip possible for us!! We have already recommended you to several friends and acquaintances.
Groetjes!

Omar was the BEST guide I could hope for!
I had such an amazing experience with the Travel Africa Safari's!! We saw all the big 5 and so many more animals. We were treated with so much respect and kindness. My tour guide Omar was incredible - funny and thoughtful. He stopped along the way to the parks and bought us Tanzanian snacks that other tours did not get to experience. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ask for Omar!!!

Jephter was amazing and so entertaining. He was so thought to make to the trip amazing
My brother and I absolutely adored our sibling trip on safari! What an incredible experience! Seeing the big five was amazing. Travel Africa and their guides tailor the experience to your needs. Experiencing the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was a once in a lifetime experience.

Beautiful day at Kruger National Park with a fantastic ranger
Early in the morning Lance picked us up at our lodge. Get was still dark, but in the darkness he provided a nice start to the day with a cheerful smile and a good mood. We went to Kruger and it was a great day. We saw a lot of animals and that's thanks to Lance. Because Lance has years of experience and knows many other rangers, the day was a great success! It is definitely recommended to everyone.

Omar was exceptional, he was attentive and went above and beyond during our trip.
Had the best safari experience with our driver Omar. We were able to find all 5/5 big five animals during our safari experience. Definitely recommend this agency and Omar as a guide who made all the difference! He made our group feel very safe, comfortable and excited throughout the entire trip.

Good tours in Uganda
We visited the chimpanzee sanctuary on the island and the rhino sanctuary at Ziwa Park. We were very well attended by Jamal and our guide Isac, whom I recommend. However, I do not recommend visiting the rhino park if that's the only thing you have to do and you are in Kampala. It's a 3-hour drive to the location, and once there, it's only a one-hour tour, then 3 hours back by van. We would have liked to do more tours in the park area, such as bird watching and the boat tour to see the shoebill. We had arranged with the agency to do these tours in addition to the rhino visit, but when we got there, they did not allow us to do these other tours.

Great service and an amazing experience
This was the most amazing trip we have ever been on. Suricata Safaris looked after us every step of the way from airport pick up at the start to drop off at the end. Our guide Rocky was out of this world. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we saw so many animals and got as close as possible. James was the chef for our lunch each day and the food was fabulous. I was nervous about the food before we travelled as I am a picky eater but it was so delicious! Our accommodation every night was top tier. The Suricata Boma lodge was very luxurious. When we stayed in Angata tented lodge we had 2 hippos right outside our door before bed. Once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris for couples, families or solo travellers. And if you can try to ask for Rocky! Rocky made sure everything was perfect for us. Halima was lovely to deal with when booking our Safari and Mr T was very friendly and helpful when we collected us from the airport. We opted for the luxury accommodation and I would highly recommend this.
