Rochelle was amazing! So helpful, knowledgeable and very (very) patient!
We have just ended two wonderful days in two game lodges which were expertly organised for us by Rochelle. She took care of everything and all we had to do was show up and enjoy the fabulous experience (and pay of course!). We thought it was great value for money and we made memories to last us a lifetime. Thank you ♥️

Unforgettable Safari Experience
I did a 7-day group safari tour across five national parks with mid-range accommodation, and it was worth every penny. The experience was incredibly well organized, comfortable, and full of unforgettable moments.
Our guide was Francis who was exceptional. His deep local knowledge of tge country, the Maasai culture, the national parks, and the wildlife made the journey truly astonishing. He was always friendly, patient, and accommodating, ensuring every member of the group felt comfortable and safe throughout the trip. A true gem! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience.

Best adventure ever
It was a wonderful experience in an amazing country with a lovely crew. Great guide, super chef, and a fantastic team that prepared our camp beautifully every day. To see the wildlife of Botswana will be unforgotten for the rest of my life! This was a true adventure we will be talking about forever.

Amazing experience, from start to finish
With so many companies offering safari experiences, we didn't know where to start and chose Earthwings because of their consistently positive reviews. We emailed our requirements and received a very quick response with some follow up questions to ensure that our experience fully met our needs and expectations. Every question we had was answered immediately and always with helpful advice and suggestions. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and our Guide, John was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about animals and conservation which we really appreciated. We always felt completely safe during our trip, and had very little to think about as everything was carefully planned for us. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing and I would one hundred percent recommend Earthwings to anyone, without any hesitation. It was a very special experience.

Exceptional Safari with Willy Philemon – Master Tracker and Guide
We joined Serengeti Wakanda Tours for a private 6-day Fly-In Migration Crossing Safari from Arusha (Northern Serengeti → Central Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater → Tarangire). Our guide, Willy Philemon, delivered an experience far beyond expectations.
He consistently spotted elusive wildlife—two leopards, a black rhino, and even a serval cat—while other vehicles passed unaware. His deep field knowledge covered not only mammals but birds and behavior; he described each species’ adaptations with passion and clarity.
Willy’s guiding style balances safety, professionalism, and joy. He maintained a spotless, Wi-Fi-equipped vehicle with chilled drinks and gourmet lunches, adjusted itineraries to minimize crowds, and handled radio coordination between guides to ensure everyone viewed animals respectfully. He even managed traffic near the Ngorongoro Crater so we reached our flight on time.
We appreciated his photography skills—he captured incredible DSLR shots and helped transfer them to our phones—and his thoughtful cultural insights, teaching us Swahili phrases and practical safari tips. Seeing the Great Migration crossings, elephants and calves in Tarangire, and lions feeding in peace under his guidance was unforgettable.
Willy Philemon is a seasoned professional and a genuine ambassador of Tanzanian hospitality. Highly recommended: *request him specifically when booking.*

A lovely way to discover a great country
The guide, Casper, was incredible.
He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was friendly, funny, and great company.

Incredible and worry-free safari
We went on a 5-day safari with a group of 7 that include my parents and siblings (ages 30-75). After reaching out to Suricata with our information and rough requirements, everything was so smooth. They responded promptly with a very reasonable quote, helped us finalize the length, dates, and locations and then we were all set. Literally all we had to do from that point was show up at the airport and we were taken care of. Neema was excellent to work with and highly responsive.
The safari itself well exceeded our expectations. Freddy, our guide, was friendly, organized, knowledgeable (about everything even beyond just the wildlife), and was able to tailor the experience to our group’s needs. The lodging and food were great at every stop. We had several vegetarians and were able to have delicious and varied meals.
Overall this trip was like a dream come true. If you want to worry about nothing and simply enjoy an incredible safari experience, book with Suricata.

EXCELLENT
Our experience with Bavuma Wild Quest was absolutely amazing! From the very first communication, everything was clear, professional, and friendly. The team made sure every detail was perfectly organized and always responded quickly to our questions.
The safari itself was unforgettable — we saw incredible wildlife, stayed in beautiful lodges, and felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. The guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and made every day an adventure.
Excellent service, great value for money, and a truly reliable company. We had a wonderful time in Tanzania and would definitely recommend Bavuma Wild Quest to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience!

Don’t book !
Our experience with this company was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. The service was poorly organized, and the company failed to deliver on its promises.
We were transported in a van that was unsuitable for passengers and eventually broke down in the middle of the road. At no point were we informed of any luggage restrictions for our trip from Nairobi to the Masai Mara. When issues arose, rather than offering assistance, the staff humiliated us in front of other tourists.
Instead of ensuring that both we and our luggage reached our destination safely, we were told to either leave our luggage behind or place it on top of a jeep — where it was exposed to rain and became completely soaked. The vehicle was also overbooked, leaving some passengers cramped with limited visibility during a four-hour journey.
Throughout the safari, we were unfairly criticized and blamed by the agency for bringing luggage instead of backpacks, despite never being informed of any such requirement beforehand. When we attempted to raise our concerns, the company refused to take responsibility and insisted the fault was ours.
This experience was mentally exhausting and deeply frustrating. We are currently exploring legal action against the company. I strongly advise others not to book with them
