Well organized, interesting itinerary and a knowledgeable guide
The initial communication with Twinkle Star was very good. All questions and concerns were quickly answered. There was a mix-up about our arrival time that caused us some stress when we were not met as planned but that worked out ok. Our guide/driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The itinerary was followed closely. The only animal on our list that we didn't see was a leopard. The most exciting were lions feeding on a buffalo carcass surrounded by hyaenas waiting for the leftovers. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The meals were mostly buffet with many food choices. I had no problem finding vegetarian options. All the different camps seemed to have the same food. The boxed lunches were also satisfactory. This is the only travel of this kind we have done so don't have anything to compare, but we enjoyed the experience. When researching Kenyan safaris Twinkle Star was competitive in price. We arrived home exhausted but since having time to rest and review and share our photos we only remember how much fun we had. It met our expectations.
We knew there would be a lot of time spent travelling between parks. Seeing Kenya outside the parks is part of the experience. But it was even more than anticipated. One drive was 12 hours instead of the 7-hour estimate. The two seatbelts in the middle row of the Landcruiser didn't work so when outside the parks we had to use the back which was not as comfortable.
FYI - Tipping was a problem that we weren't prepared for. US dollars seemed to be preferred over Kenyan shillings. Having small bills would have been helpful. We overtipped at times and sometimes didn't tip at all. Sometimes the tip could be added by credit card to the hotel bill.

Excellent tour, knowlguide. Big 5 all seen
We booked with Elephant herd tours on recommendation of our Airbnb host. They were responsive and contacted us immediately. Though not cheapest, they wre happy to pick us up from our accommodation which was importantfor us. Our guide Vobu arrived on time. We made the kruger gates on time for the 6am open and were lucky to see the big 5 though of course this isn't guaranteed. Our guide was super knowledgeable and the elephant herd team have an advantage working with their team of other guides to gives their clients the best chance to see the animals. We chose the morning half day tour as our party included younger kids. It was freezing in the early hours but an awesome experience

Eddie - the Happie Chappie, was an amazing guide full of energy and enthusiasm, and very dedicated.
We had an awesome experience with MoAfrica tours. We had booked a 3 day Kruger package with them. The communication was quick and reliable, the people were so helpful and understanding. The service during the safari was amazing, with ample rest stops and facilities. One of our friends had left his bag at the airport and they were kind enough to bring it all the way to Kruger for us, saving us so much of hassle. The food was great and they catered to all our requirements and requests.

Our safari operator “Eddie the Happy Chappie” was a really smart and funny guy with full of energy
Our full day safari operator was “Eddie the Happy Chappie” has a LOT of knowledge about Africa and its wildlife. He did our safari with full enthusiasm and excitement, not giving any chance of boredom and sleep. More than his knowledge, I liked his funny behaviour. Would really choose him for next safari if I plan 😛
Also, the other operators were also really hostile and helpful whenever needed. They even got our lost bag delivered to us from airport. We booked 3 day ultimate kruger safari package. We stated at dumela, the food was really good, they were kind enough to prepare chicken for us when we mentioned we don’t eat beaf.

Perfect! Fantastic accommodation and our driver Rocky always made sure we had the experiences.
This was an unbelievable experience! We came here on honeymoon and I'm so happy we did. Suricata looked after everything from the moment we landed at the airport until the moment we left. Our driver Rocky always made sure we had the best view throughout the safari and the best experiences. Amazing accomodation and atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were super comfortable. Breakfast lunch and dinner provided everyday and it was absolutely delicious. It was honestly a perfect honeymoon destination and we got to make a million memories. Thank you so much to everyone at Suricata, and especially to our driver, Rocky! Asante sana!
