Magical adventure
Our African safari with Natureways was absolutely amazing. Everything we hoped for and more! Our guides, Mark and Manu, were extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be around. They taught us so much about the animals (and great picture taking advice) hopefully we can remember it all! Fanta and the gang ran a great camp. The food was amazingly delicious considering there is no electricity or running water. Everything was done over a campfire. The tents were spread out enough where you thought you were on your own, which made the nights that much more exciting. The sounds of the animals all night were awesome. We had a great canoe trip, with close up encounters with hippos, crocodiles and elephants. The water was low and it was quite windy, which made for harder paddling, and some portage of the canoes. The next day we were supposed to continue our paddle, but were so exhausted we asked if we could do a land safari. The guides happily obliged and off we went! The biggest thing to remember is you are not in a zoo. The animals are in the wild and you have to go looking for them. That being said, Mark and Manu put us on so many different animals we were absolutely ecstatic. We had very close encounters, on foot as well as in canoes and trucks, with lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, all types of antelope, baboons, monkeys, water buffalo, jackals, beautiful birds, monitors, mongoose, and many more. It was absolutely magical, the trip of a lifetime! Bush safaris are the only way to go for us. Thank you so much!

Very reliable, good communication
We had a really nice week doing a safari tour with Sterling Travel. We saw so many different animals during their migration. It was exciting to see lions, elephants and hippos so close. The food at dinner and breakfast was always tasty... thanks to the operator Diana and to all the different tour guides, who made us having such a special time. Except the special tours like the boat trip / bike excursion the journey was very worth it so we can recommend it a lot!

Fabulous recommendations from a highly knowledgeable operator - we couldn't have wished for better.
Rose provided us with an exceptional safari experience in Zambia, including a travel itinerary that worked perfectly.
From our initial conversation regarding our requirements and budget she put together an amazing package in two amazing yet different locations, Sungani and Chiawa.
This was our first safari and we had a fair few questions which Rose was able to answer immediately via WhatsApp.
We have no qualms about recommending Rose to anyone considering a safari adventure, and will most definitely use her services again when we get the opportunity to return to Africa.

Suricata Safari for the best safari in Tanzania!
It was amazing. Our guide, Lewis, was an absolute sweetheart! Very knowledgeable of the culture, the roads, the parks, the animals... gave us very interesting facts about animals, the masai, and the way of living in Tanzania. Our cook, Samson, was the best! The food never let us down. The whole trip was great, the safari was top! The camps and the tents were top too. Daniel and Chuke were our hosts on the last and first day respectively and they were also great!
All in all our experience was a 10/10! We would definitely recommend to all our friends! Suricata team we look forward to come back to you! ASANTE SANA!

good organized, very good
The Safari was amazing. We saw all the animals. The hotel the operator promised was also fulfilled. The guide Leroy was very funny and was especially good at finding angles to see the animals. The whole process was worth it.

Unforgettable Safari in Kenya - August 2024
I just finished an incredible 5-day safari in Kenya with the company "Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris" and I wanted to leave my review because I had read them all before leaving, so I hope it can be useful to someone!
We spent the two days exploring Lakes Naivasha and Nakuru, and the next three days in the Masai Mara. The places we visited were truly spectacular and worthy of documentaries. Seeing all the "Big Five" was a breathtaking experience, and the Masai Mara gave us landscapes and encounters with wildlife that we will hardly forget. So in general the lakes are beautiful, but the Masai Mara is absolutely not to be missed.
A special praise goes to our driver, who demonstrated extraordinary skill in driving even on bumpy and dangerous roads. He was friendly, kind and always available, happily accommodating our requests to stay longer to observe certain animals. His punctuality and professionalism made the trip even more enjoyable.
However, it is right to highlight some aspects that could be improved. Low-cost safari organizations, and I mean all companies in general from what I perceived, are very disorganized. We often changed groups and found ourselves having to wait for the time to collect participants from different hotels, which caused delays and an increase in the time spent in the car. Also, on the first day we had to use a private car due to the lack of available seats in the compartments, after waiting two hours at the meeting point, creating a bit of confusion at the beginning... Finally, of lesser importance, it should be considered that in group safaris it is possible to come across different types of people and the group dynamics can influence the general atmosphere.
Despite these small inconveniences, I would do the safari again tomorrow without hesitation. It was a unique and fascinating experience, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to live an unforgettable adventure in Kenya.
