More Than a Safari – The Honeymoon We Will Treasure Forever
I've delayed writing this review because I honestly struggled to find the right words. How do you properly describe a honeymoon that exceeded every dream you had imagined?
Our 8-day private luxury safari with Wivi Agency in June was not simply a vacation. It became the perfect beginning to our married life together and one of the most emotional and meaningful experiences we have ever shared.
From the very beginning, Elias and Stephano treated us like family. Once they learned this was our honeymoon, they went above and beyond to make it special. Long before we arrived in Tanzania, they were helping us with travel arrangements, accommodation preferences, special requests, and countless questions. Their attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for.
Upon arrival in Arusha, we stayed at Arusha Coffee Lodge, where our honeymoon experience immediately began. We were welcomed with thoughtful touches, beautiful room decorations, and warm hospitality that made us feel celebrated as newlyweds.
What we didn't realize was that Elias and Stephano had quietly arranged several surprises throughout the journey. There were romantic room setups, special dinners, honeymoon treats, and unexpected moments that often left us speechless. Some evenings ended with candlelit dinners under the African sky, while other days included beautiful personal touches that made us feel incredibly special.
Our guide Joshua quickly became an important part of our adventure. Spending eight days together allowed us to build a genuine friendship. His passion for Tanzania was inspiring, and his warm personality made every game drive enjoyable. He seemed to understand exactly when to share fascinating information and when to simply allow us to enjoy the moment together.
Our safari took us through Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
At Lemala Mpingo Ridge in Tarangire, we enjoyed breathtaking views while watching elephant herds move across the landscape below. One afternoon, we witnessed playful elephant calves running around their mothers, creating memories and photographs we will cherish forever.
The Serengeti was simply magical. Our stay at One Nature Nyaruswiga Serengeti was beyond luxurious. Every detail was perfect, from the elegant tented suites to the incredible service. During our game drives, Joshua helped us find lions with cubs, leopards resting in trees, cheetahs scanning the plains, large elephant herds, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and endless wildebeest moving across the golden landscape.
One morning, Joshua located a leopard before any other vehicle arrived. We watched in complete silence as it gracefully descended from a tree and disappeared into the grass. It felt like we had the entire Serengeti to ourselves.
At The Highlands by Asilia near Ngorongoro, we experienced another unforgettable surprise arranged by the team. After a day of wildlife viewing, we returned to find a beautifully prepared romantic setup waiting for us. It was one of several thoughtful gestures that made our honeymoon feel truly unique.
The Ngorongoro Crater itself was spectacular. Within a single day we saw black rhinos, lions, buffaloes, hippos, hyenas, flamingos, and countless other animals. Every turn seemed to reveal another incredible sight.
One memory will stay with us forever. During sunrise in Serengeti, Joshua stopped the vehicle overlooking the plains. As thousands of wildebeest moved through the morning light, we sat quietly holding hands and taking in the beauty around us. It was one of those rare moments where everything feels perfect.
What made this journey extraordinary wasn't only the wildlife or the luxury accommodations. It was the emotion behind every detail. Elias and Stephano didn't just organize a safari. They created a honeymoon experience filled with surprises, romance, and unforgettable memories. There were several moments during the trip when we genuinely felt emotional because of the thought and effort that had gone into making our honeymoon special.
Even after the safari ended, they continued helping us in Arusha by recommending wonderful restaurants, nightlife spots, and places to relax before our departure flight.
When it came time to leave Tanzania, neither of us wanted the journey to end. We arrived as newlyweds hoping for an unforgettable honeymoon. We left with memories that will stay in our hearts forever.
Thank you, Joshua, for being such an incredible guide. Thank you, Elias and Stephano, for every surprise, every thoughtful gesture, and every detail you carefully arranged. And thank you, Wivi Agency, for giving us a honeymoon that was more beautiful than we ever imagined.
This was not just a safari.
It was the beginning of our love story's greatest adventure.

Very professional and understands how to offer memorable and adventurous experiences.
They are professional. Communication is top-notch, and the guides they work with also do an amazing job, always considering different client paces on the trails and ensuring that we all get the best experience. Lol! They're also a very fun crew. You can talk about anything with them. I've had several moments that have left me in stitches. Haha! I also love how they motivate clients when things start getting tough, even when it's also tough on them.

Amazing Safari Experience
From the minute we landed in Kilimanjaro the trip was perfect. Every transfer was on time with very polite and respectful guides, we got picked up from the airport and taken to our hotel in Arusha where we spent 2 nights.
We were then picked up by our tour guide Luther on the morning of our safari. Luther was absolutely brilliant and a credit to the company, he has a vast knowledge of all areas of the safari, the local culture, all of the animals and the Maasai tribe. Luther was polite, respectful and gave us the best chance at every opportunity to see the animals and get some great photos.
The food on the safari was brilliant, 3 cooked meals per day with some traditional African dishes served up. Prior to the safari the chef assigned to us checked each member of the group to see if we had any allergies religious requests or dietary requirements.
If you are booking a safari in Tanzania, definitely book it with Suricata and for the best experience ever, request your guide to be Luther.

Perfectly organised and good communication.
The communication beforehand was very good and clear. A few days in advance we were reached out to, for an extra confirmation. The trip we went on was amazing. The guide was professional. We stayed inside the park, but never felt unsafe. Would recommend.

An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish
I originally contacted 3 companies for a safari quote and Serengeti African Tours responded immediately. They provided an itinerary to suit my timetable and budget. Inviolata became my point of contact and has answered so many questions prior to booking the safari and after booking until I arrived in Tanzania. As I had free time in Arusha before and after the safari Inviolata also arranged a day trip to the Materuni Waterfalls and an Arusha City tour. The package included airport pick up and drop off. Eli picked me up at the airport and took me to the accommodation in Arusha organised by Inviolata. Eli also drove me on both the day trips and back to the airport at the end of the trip. Eli was a careful driver and answered any questions. He even stopped on the way back to the airport to let me take pictures of Kilimanjaro! For the safari the guide was Bahayo. He picked me up on time from Arusha and looked after me and the other 5 travellers for the next 5 days. He was an amazing guide that tried very hard to locate the animals over the 5 days and allowed us ample time to view them and photograph them. We managed to see the Big Five and so much more though Bahayo’s determination and hard work. He drove everyone to different accommodation at the end of each day and always picked us up on time the following day. We also had a chef Richard who made us a delicious lunch everyday. All the accomodation selected by Inviolata was amazing and all of the food delicious. The staff at each place I stayed at were all friendly and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed my safari from beginning to end and would definitely recommend Serengeti African Tours. Thank you to you all for an amazing experience!

Provided what it promised! The guide was a real bonus.
We booked 4 days mid budget tour for Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. They picked us from hotel, gone to office, made payment and the rest is managed successfully by our guide Papa John. We were a group of 8 with diverse interests. Papa John responded to our numerous requests with patience and provided interesting insights on almost everthing: from wildies to regulations to habits of animals. At every departure he was attentive, checked that we had all our belongings. Throughout the journey, his driving was safe. He continuously informed us about the next steps that will follow. The camp and the hotel are as advertised, breakfast and dinner at camp were basic but still satisfying although we wished there would be cheese in breakfasts! The lunch on picnic was above expectations. The lunches on the road were basic but offered at clean, safe restaurants with shopping opportunities. Beware, the roads are bumpy, and dust is part of safari! We observed all the available species at multiple locations except the cheetah and leopard at one location only. Papa John followed our wishes to stop for extra photos but did not allow anybody to step out of car to hug the lions! Rules are followed strictly. The toilets of parks and lunch restaurants were hygienic. Water was always available in the car. The extra visit to Masai village is worth to go. You participate in the dances, take a look at how they live. Everything went smoothly, we chatted a lot with other guests, I definitely recommend the tour and Papa John as a guide was excellent.

This is tour company made us to be in safe side honestly
Our safari with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris was absolutely incredible and exceeded all expectations. We visited the beautiful Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, and Tarangire National Park, enjoying spectacular wildlife sightings and breathtaking landscapes throughout our journey.
The luxury accommodations, including Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, Meliá Ngorongoro, and Kilimamoja Lodge, were exceptional and added to the overall experience.
A special thank you to our guide, Novatus, whose professionalism, knowledge, and passion made every game drive unforgettable. The luxury safari vehicle was comfortable, well-maintained, and perfect for exploring Tanzania’s wildlife.
We highly recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for a premium, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. A truly five-star adventure from start to finish!

Amazing safari
Dream holiday made even better by the tour guide we had Luther!
Been planning this holiday over the past year and was more than we could have hoped for. We done 4 days group camping with a group with 4 other people.
Seeing the big five plus multiple other animals will be a memory for life.
Our guide Luther was very knowledgeable on both the animals and the land. Always checking in the group was okay and answered any questions we had. Very friendly and made the group feel at ease.
Recommend anyone to book a Suricata Safari!!
