Beyond the Big Five: An Unforgettable Safari360 Adventure
What we saw in this four-day safari of Safari360 is more than just the "Big Five." We are speechless at the sight of rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater! Then in Serengeti, guide Aziz took us to a place where we saw rare African wild dogs resting - incredible! Accommodation, food, transport, everything was great.

A Journey of a Lifetime with African Big Cats Safaris!
Our recent safari adventure with African Big Cats Safaris in Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized, safe, and tailored to our preferences — a huge thanks to Mr. Emanuel Kavishe, the Managing Director, for ensuring every detail was taken care of beyond our expectations.
We explored the breathtaking landscapes of Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Each park had its own magic, and the memories we made will stay with us forever.
A special shoutout to our wonderful guide, Mr. Lovoi, whose sharp eyes and deep knowledge made every game drive thrilling. Spotting our first two lionesses perched gracefully on a tree branch in Tarangire was unforgettable. The Serengeti stunned us with the Great Migration of wildebeest, and we were lucky to witness majestic leopards, cheetahs, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and countless other incredible animals in their natural habitat.
Our time in Ngorongoro Crater was capped with a truly exhilarating moment — we were the first vehicle to spot the elusive Black Rhino that morning, and the excitement as other vehicles rushed to join the sighting was electrifying!
Beyond the wildlife, the accommodations, food, and hospitality were excellent at every stop. We felt safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout the journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats Safaris to anyone dreaming of an authentic and unforgettable African safari. They truly deliver an experience that exceeds expectations in every way.
Asante sana to Emanuel, Lovoi, and the entire team for making this trip one of the best adventures of our lives!

Amazing Experience I Will Cherish Forever!
I recently completed a 5-day safari with Suricata Safaris visiting Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park—and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Every day brought unforgettable moments, and the experience was made even more special thanks to our amazing guide, Damien, and our incredible chef, Jeremiah.
From the very beginning, Suricata impressed with their organization and hospitality. Even before arriving in Tanzania, I felt taken care of. Communication before the trip was smooth and informative, and the tour started right on schedule. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for game drives and also had charging ports, which was an unexpected bonus!
Our guide, Damien, was exceptional. His knowledge of wildlife and the parks was outstanding. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals—even from unbelievable distances—and was always patient, making sure everyone got the best views and photos. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, lions up close, elephants with their young, and even a rare rhino sighting in the Crater. Beyond the animals, Damien was just a joy to be around—funny, kind, and a true professional who always put our experience first.
Equally impressive was Jeremiah, our camp chef. Every meal he prepared was delicious and varied, from hearty breakfasts to satisfying dinners that felt like home-cooked feasts in the wild.
The itinerary itself was perfectly paced. Lake Manyara was a great starting point with its lush scenery and tree-climbing lions. The Serengeti was the absolute highlight—vast, wild, and teeming with life. Ngorongoro Crater offered dramatic landscapes and unique encounters in a more condensed setting. Tarangire, with its iconic baobabs and huge elephant herds, was the perfect way to close out the journey.
I was fortunate enough to be able to do a camping safari. Falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife was both humbling and magical and quite the experience!
This safari exceeded every expectation I had. If you’re considering Suricata Safaris, do not hesitate—ask for Damien and hope you get lucky enough to have Jeremiah in the kitchen. They are a dream team, and they made this adventure something I will remember for the rest of my life!

An Unforgettable African Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
Our African safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris was amazing! Unforgettable wildlife encounters, every moment was perfect.. The booking process was smooth, and they were responsive to our questions.
A special thank you to our guide, Dennis, whose expertise and kindness made the experience even more memorable. He went above and beyond to accommodate our personal requests, ensuring we had the best possible safari adventure. We truly appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness—it made our journey unforgettable!
The best moment was witnessing two leopards in the wild devouring their meal. Dennis’ keen eye and expertise ensured we got the perfect angle for both photos and video, making this once-in-a-lifetime sight even more special.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for an African safari experience — and if you get Dennis as your guide, consider yourself very lucky!

Extremely professional, flexible, attentive, helpful and fun.
We recently returned from an unforgettable 18-day trip to Tanzania organized by Duma Explorer, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, Duma’s team was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to making our experience extraordinary.
Duma provided us with an outstanding guide and a well-equipped vehicle for our safari and trekking adventures. Their advice on lodges was spot-on — every place we stayed was carefully chosen and suited our preferences perfectly. The combination of jeep-based safaris through the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park was breathtaking. Each day felt perfectly paced, and we appreciated how smoothly everything was handled behind the scenes.
A real highlight was the three days of trekking, including visits to the Empakai Crater and camping overnight. Duma arranged all of the logistics — from transporting our gear to setting up tents and providing fantastic meals — and even coordinated an excellent Maasai guide who made the experience even more special. We also spent time at Lake Natron, and Duma made sure we were in great hands throughout.
Even after the safari portion ended, Duma helped organize our stay in Zanzibar, ensuring a seamless transition to the beach part of our trip.
Their attention to detail, deep local knowledge, and genuine care made this a trip of a lifetime. If you're considering a safari or trekking adventure in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Duma Explorer!

Well organised tour operator
We had a fantastic time on our safari with morning star. At the start of the process of looking for a safari I received a detailed quote from Denis which we then tailored to our requirements. The communication with Denis was great throughout and he always got back to us really quickly when I had a query. The safari itself was amazing, really well organised and our guide Julius was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He expertly guided us at each park, we saw the big 5 plus many more animals. We did a mid range safari, we went to the Ark at Aberdare, Sopa resort at Lake Naivasha, lion lodge at Lake Nakuru and zebra valley camp at Masai Mara (luxury). All the hotels were great and as expected, with sopa and valley camp particularly outstanding. It was quite a lot of driving between each park however we do recommend doing the range of areas as Kenya is very scenic and we also got to experience seeing different town and villages on our travels. Overall I would definitely recommend Morning Star and if you book with them request Julius to be your driver and guide.

A Magical 7-Day Safari Full of Wonders.
The seven-day trip was truly amazing! Every day I saw something new - the lions climbing the trees of Tarangire, the pink flamingos of Lake Manyara, and the endless wilderness of the Serengeti. We camped very close to nature, and the guide, Jeffrey, was amazing. At the end of the safari, Arusha spent the last night in the hotel relaxing, which helped to end the whole trip in a beautiful way.

Professional, friendly and well organised agency
This was our first Safari and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The agency provided us with all the information we needed beforehand and were very responsive to our questions, also during our trip. Everything was planned out very well and worked out. Isaac is an amazing guide with big knowledge about the different parks and where to find all the animals. Furthermore, he is genuinely a very nice person and took very good care of us! We visited Samburu, Ol-Pejeta, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. All parks have a slightly different vegetation, so it was interesting to see the differences. Thanks for this amazing experience!

Exceptional service and attention to detail. Nothing too much trouble.
From the initial request for a quote to dropping us off at Nairobi airport to go on to our next destination I cannot fault anything. Michael who helped with our itinerary was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble even when I requested changes and additions. Paul our driver and guide was a wealth of knowledge and we learnt so much about the animals and how to identify them. He was a great ambassador for Leopard Orchid.
I would highly recommend this firm to book your holiday of a lifetime or short trip safari
