5 days safari
Very good 5 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We have saw many animals and the accomodations Suricata Boma and Serena Ngorongoro are very good. An unforgettable experience!

Morning star tours had everything covered making our safari trip so easy and extremely pleasurable!
Joysharon was our contact for Morningstar and was extremely helpful in our planning process, frequently checking in leading up to and throughout our safari ensuring our experience was exactly what we wished for. When our driver Timothy was misguided and need up at the wrong hotel for our initial pickup, Joysharon was very reassuring and stayed in contact throughout.
Our driver Timothy was extremely accommodating throughout our time with him! He made sure we saw the many animals and set us up for amazing photos ops including with the evasive leopard! When another company’s vehicle broke down, Tim demonstrated his kind heartedness by helping out the other driver ensuring other people continued to have an enjoyable experience as well!

Highly Recommend Ramja Safaris for great trip experience
Our two families of 5 each had a tremendous Safari experience, from booking through execution, with Ramja safaris. Steve provided timely communication throughout the process and was patient as we selected the right Safari for our group & through many questions as trip approached. He and Alex who coordinated Tanzania for us were a great team. Our guides Isaya and Ledger were outstanding! Safe drivers, knowledgeable on all flora & fauna, good daily communication on plans, and special touches on sundowners. They have great network to get to animal sightings & experience on where to position when you do get a special encounter. We thoroughly enjoyed & appreciated them both, & were sad to say goodbye. We also enjoyed all of our accommodations where we stayed.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Adventure with Kwesa Tours – A Dream Achieved!
From June 27th to July 1st, I embarked on the incredible Kilimanjaro trek via the Marangu route with Kwesa Tours, and the experience exceeded all my expectations! The entire journey was well-organized, and the team provided exceptional support every step of the way.
A special thanks to:
Guide Kessy: His expertise, patience, and encouragement were vital in helping me reach Uhuru Peak. Without his guidance, the summit would have been much more challenging.
Cook Omary: The meals throughout the trip were delicious and energizing—a crucial factor for maintaining strength at high altitudes.
Thanks to their dedication, I not only fulfilled my dream of conquering Kilimanjaro but also created memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend Kwesa Tours for anyone seeking a professional, supportive, and unforgettable mountain adventure!

So, for other travellers
Family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children - 9y, 14y and 16y)
15 day trip from Windhoek to Vic Falls
We cannot say enough to recommend Africa Zim for a wonderful trip and exploration of southern Africa..
Everything was tailored to our request, accommodation perfect, we felt completely safe and enjoyed every day
Trip is long but well structured and run
As for the guide, we cannot say enough good word for Mutho, he is a special, warmhearted, kind person and family man which is something that we miss a lot in modern world.
Knowledge of the area is impeccable as being a guide for > 15 years (sorry if missed more years) he will give you all the insights and info you require.
And to finish, what would be the worst thing about our trip was saying goodbye from out kids to Mutho..

AMAZING SAFARI EXPERIENCE!!! Definitely recommend Suricata!!!
We had an amazing safari and are incredibly grateful for the staff at Suricata Safaris.
From the start, they communicated with us the day before to arrange transport from JRO airport, which was there on time despite our flight running late. They welcomed us and offered from the start to help us retrieve a lost bag (they communicated with the airline to have it retrieved and had it delivered to our hotel, keeping us informed throughout). The transfer guide got us to the hotel safely and explained clearly the outline of the three days.
The hotel where we stayed was okay, serving it’s purpose! We left the next morning at 6:30am, where our guide got us comfortable from the start. The safari van was spacious and comfortable. It had outlets, extra seat cushions and refrigerated water bottles throughout the trip.
Our game drives were wonderful, allowing us to see the big 5, and tons of other animals. Our guide (Benson) communicated efficiently over the radio to find animals to show us. He answered our questions with ease allowing us to get the full safari experience. When we wanted to stop to see some animals, he did most of the time without hesitation.
The food on safari was unexpectedly delicious. Our chef (Samson!) made a mix of Tanzanian food but also global foods, allowing for even the pickiest eaters to have something they enjoy. The food was savory and in abundance. They fed us from breakfast at the hotel to lunch on the first day to lunch on the last day.
At the end of the safari, they organized transport to hotels/airports (or both!), making us feel safe throughout the experience.
Thank you Suricata Safaris for an amazing experience!!!
The only things that we think could have improved is to:
1. Communicate a few weeks before with reminders what to bring [binoculars, toilet paper, a towel (one campsite had a shower), and warm clothes for the night in Ngorongoro]
2. Share via email beforehand a more detailed schedule for how safari will go [the info they gave on the drive to the hotel]
3.Maybe carry a few extra clothes in case bags are lost [seems frequent with airlines here, stores aren’t open when we leave for safari]
4. Making note a bit more clearly that credit card payments have a 5% surcharge, so people can plan on bringing cash if they prefer not to pay this surcharge.
These are small details but could take this from a 5 star experience to a 6 star one! If you’re between tent camping and a lodge experience— we would do tent camping again and again! We had zebras and even an elephant walking through our campsites during our stay— it was truly surreal— we are thankful for that kind of accessibility and experience at the price point! If you don’t have much time, we think a 3-day safari was also the perfect length, since it is a lot of driving and we got to see most of the animals we wanted to the first and second days, and the third day was mainly revisiting ones we’d already had the chance to see (in a different, and very beautiful landscape).

An Unforgettable Safari with Earthwings
We had the most incredible 7-day safari in Kenya with Earthwings, travelling from Nairobi to Amboseli, Naivasha, Masai Mara, Nakuru, and back to Nairobi. The entire experience was seamless and thoughtfully planned. Martin, our point of contact before the trip, was responsive, professional, and incredibly patient with all our questions and requests.
Our guide John took great care of us throughout the journey. He was friendly, informative, and always happy to answer our questions about the wildlife, culture, and parks we visited.
The lodges Earthwings recommended were amazing. We started off at Kozi Suites Nairobi, which was a great rest stop after our flight. In Amboseli, we stayed at AA Lodge and Sentrim Amboseli, both offering good access to the park. Sopa Naivasha blew us away with its beautiful rooms and lush surroundings. At Zebra River Camp in Masai Mara, the service was absolutely exceptional – the best hospitality we’ve experienced. Finally, Ziwa Bush Lodge in Nakuru gave us the nicest bathroom setup!
There were four of us – my husband and I, his brother and sister-in-law – and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Kenya. Thank you, Earthwings!

A super brilliant and worthy trip!
We’ve just wrapped up our Safari in Kenya, and we can’t thank our guide Albert enough for an incredible 8-day journey! In Maasai Mara, we witnessed a lion hunt, spotted cheetahs, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, wildebeests, and countless other animals. At Lake Naivasha, we got up close to numerous herbivores and even saw pelicans. The real highlight? After a week of cloudy skies in Amboseli, we woke up to a clear view of Mount Kilimanjaro in its full glory the next morning—it was absolutely breathtaking!
Throughout the trip, Albert took amazing care of us. His driving was incredibly smooth, and he always managed to position us for the best animal-watching spots. We’re beyond grateful for his expertise and hospitality. We’ll definitely recommend this journey to all our friends!
