Professional, caring and attentive
The tour was hugely exceeding all my expectations, combining the lively atmosphere in the city and rural beauty of countryside - however was the Akagera visit such a privilege, to witness greatness of wildlife from the comfortable van !

Our tour operator was very nice, very informative.
I went on the 4 days safari and it was amazing. We had the best guide through the whole trip. He had a good sense of humor and was very good at spotting rare animals and telling us great facts about them. We saw all of the animals of the big five. Also the chef that comes with the safari makes the best food for you. We slept in the tents and it was and all over good experience. Will definitely recommend. You get to do a lot of safari for the amount of money - morning, afternoon and evening safari.

Efficiently professional and welcoming
Our driver kept us informed every step of the way, and was polite and pleasant throughout. I was amazed he kept his cool when one gentleman decided to go for lunch while we were filling up at a petrol station. Personally I would have left the idiot there but our driver was a better man than I. A fast and punctual service, despite out wayward passenger's fondness for Wimpy burgers!

Great experience with Tales of Tanzania
We had the most incredible first trip to Africa, and a big part of that is thanks to Pendo and our guide Peter.
From the start, we reached out to over 20 safari operators, and Pendo stood out with her professionalism, clarity, and efficiency. She was consistently responsive, to the point, and transparent — there was never any vague or confusing information, which gave us great confidence during the planning stage. She answered every small question we had in the months leading up to our trip with patience and clarity, which made us feel completely at ease before arriving.
Peter, our guide with 12 years of experience, was simply outstanding. He’s deeply knowledgeable, incredibly reliable, and always attentive to detail.
Communication with him was easy and efficient, and the atmosphere in the vehicle was always positive and cheerful. He genuinely listened to what we were hoping to see and went above and beyond - often we were the ones asking him to take a break. We fully understood that wildlife sightings depend not only on the guide’s skill and dedication, but also simply on luck - so we managed our expectations accordingly. But thanks to Peter’s persistence and experience, we ended up seeing everything we had hoped for, which made us incredibly satisfied.
On a side note, we did notice that Peter cleaned the vehicle thoroughly every day, neatly organising everything in the back seat - every morning when we stepped into the car, it was just comfortable. On top of all this, Peter seemed to know everyone - from fellow guides and rangers in the national parks to lodge managers and staff. This made us feel very secure, knowing that if anything unexpected happened, Peter would be able to handle it efficiently with his strong network and deep experience. As an example, when we mentioned in the next morning that we were a bit confused about why a newly opened lodge didn’t provide a hairdryer - especially since it used the exact same brand of solar panels as other lodges that did - Peter immediately spoke to the manager to raise our feedback (and of course, unexpectedly, they know each other well!). We appreciated that he was always proactive in helping us resolve even the smallest issues even that it's not really part of his job.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend this team to anyone looking for a professional, well-organised, and deeply rewarding journey through Tanzania.

Best Vacation Ever!
Our family of 7 adults filled every seat in our Gosheni jeep along with our amazing guide- Inno. Our 1st Safari adventure was better than we could have expected. Inno was knowledgeable, kind, and funny. He answered all of our questions and gave us so much insight into the wildlife, plants, and culture of Tanzania. Highly recommend- Gosheni AND Inno!

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.

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!
