Additionally, he ensured that we saw all the animals and ge gave us sufficient time to take pictures and videos.
If I would come back to Tanzania again, ill definitely request for Omar.

Responsive, flexible and accommodating
Planning a trip to Madagascar can be challenging, especially when you are short on time and on a budget. When reaching out to different travel agents the Come To Madagascar team right from the start proved to be extremely responsive, flexible and accommodating. Their reliable and sturdy off-road vehicles and experienced drivers were able to tackle even the most challenging roads (Tsingy de Bemaraha!), and their guides were an invaluable source of information and curiosities to keep you entertained during the long hours on the road. I felt safe and cared for, so I was able to enjoy every moment of this holiday of a lifetime to the full. Thank you Sanda, Angelot, Rindra & Co.!

Perfection in details
I must say, much before my tour even started Suricata was on top of thier game. They responded to every query and every doubt I had very diligently. Special mention to M/s. Glory John who was always eager to clarify any doubts and queries I had.
From the time I landed at the airport till they dropped me back to the airport, Suricata staff took care of every little details. The hotels and food were very good. Guides were very experienced. They were excellent and patient.
Overall my experience with Suricata was marvelous. The safari itself was a great adventure.

Great, well-organised safari
We did a five day safari with Tony, organised by Emmah - both of whom were super accommodating and helpful. We really enjoyed our mix of accommodations, and got to see some incredible diversity of landscapes (woodlands, grasslands, lakeside).
Excellent, knowledgeable guide (Mtinangi) who helped us spot the entire Big 5!
Being just feet away from lions, leopards. massive elephants, and feeding cheetahs was surreal. Our guide, Mtinangi, had nearly 20 years of experience and it showed. He knew each of the massive parks we explored like the back of his hand, spotting and getting us up close to animals that would otherwise have been invisible to us. A once in a lifetime experience!

Mtinangi was knowledgeable about the wildlife and area and was very flexible and helpful as a driver
Mtinangi was a great guide during our safari. He was incredibly helpful and flexible with the timing and itinerary, always making sure we were comfortable and getting the most out of the safari. His ability to spot animals from far away and position us perfectly for the best views was seriously impressive and let us see even more than we had expected. He also knew a lot of the wildlife and the area, and answered all of our questions with detail and enthusiasm. On top of that, he had a great sense of humor and kept the whole experience fun and engaging. Highly recommend!

Outstanding staff
My group of four people used Serengeti Smiles for one leg of a longer trip across Tanzania and Uganda. While with Serengeti Smiles we visited the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. We were working with pretty tight time constraints but Jonyo in the office did a fantastic job presenting us with multiple itinerary options to suit our needs at different price points. Pricing was clear and transparent throughout. They were very flexible and easy to work with throughout and it never felt like we were just being given cookie cutter options. There were a few unexpected issues with flight timing, lodges being fully booked, etc, and every time Jonyo was able to roll with it and find solutions. Communication was quick and easy thoughout. All lodges were as advertised, no surprises.
On the trip itself, our guide, Zack, did a wonderful job of keeping to our schedule but staying flexible with what we wanted to do and see. He maximized our time in the parks while still getting us to our next destination right on time. Had plenty of knowledge on not just the big charismatic animals but also the smaller animals, birds, etc., and pointed out areas of interest on the drive between sites as well. Vehicle was clean and well maintained, bottled water was always available. No complaints except that we don’t have unlimited time in life, we would’ve gladly spent twice as long.

Mtinangi was a very knowledgeable safari guide who was excellent at spotting animals.
Mtinangi was a great safari guide. Throughout the entire trip, he was patient, super friendly, and always looking out for the group. He was amazing at spotting animals that we didn’t notice. Thanks to him, the entire group had an amazing time.
Easy to work with and awesome guide
Working with the staff at Axis Africa was so nice. I worked specifically with Lenox Eric. He was patient with all my questions. He was fast to respond considering the time difference. The price we felt was reasonable and perfect for our family. Our driver/guide, Ken was awesome. He was very helpful in explaining the animals and cultures of the Maasai tribe.
The Safari and seeing the animals was spectacular. Everyone in our group got to see the animals they were hoping to see. Ken went out of his way to try and locate the different animals in the park.
Our resort was nice, Masa Chui. However it is a Chinese company and all the other guests were Chinese and were annoyed Americans were there. However the staff at Masa Chui and our room (more of a cottage with separate sleeping rooms) was amazing. We all would highly recommend working with Axis Africa and Lenox and Ken

Perfect Safari Experience! Professional, Fun & Memorable
We used Wild Wings Safaris for a company incentive trip and it truly exceeded our expectations. Ilaria was fantastic from the very start, helping us plan every detail and ensuring the whole experience ran flawlessly. The guides, Simon, Rufus, and Manuel brought so much energy, fun, and knowledge to the trip.
Everything was smooth, fun, and beautifully arranged. Highly recommend Wild Wings to anyone looking for a memorable safari adventure.
