Hours of wildlife watching and relaxing lodge evenings
We had a fantastic trip with Suricata Safaris. Jeremy is a top-tier driver guide who knew how to space out our time. We spent over three hours following a lion pride in the Serengeti without feeling rushed at all. After spending the entire day outdoors, we got back to Suricata Boma Lodge by 5:00 PM. We spent a couple of hours relaxing on the open patio before dinner. Clean rooms, hot showers, and great food!

Fabulous from start to finish!
I had the most amazing 6 days on the ‘Exciting Lusaka to Livingstone Overland Adventure Safari Tour’ and would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Mark went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy and the tour was marvellously organised, making it effortlessly enjoyable for me. This meant I maximised my time and experienced so much I never would have travelling alone, including wonderful personal tours of Livingstone and the Victoria Falls with Fines.
Also, when arranging the trip Mark always responded rapidly and provided helpful responses to any questions I had. During, he never failed to show up at the time or place we’d arranged and took care to ensure any external activies were with reliable companies, with him overseeing.
Thanks a million to Mark and the Lochinvar Safaris team, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Watching a cheetah hunt with Jeremy as our guide
The highlight of our Tanzania journey was easily day two in the Serengeti. Jeremy, our guide, noticed a group of vehicles heading one way but decided to take a quiet side track near some rocky hills. That patience paid off—we ended up sitting quietly for almost 45 minutes watching a female cheetah rest with her cubs without any crowd around us. Jeremy’s eye for wildlife tracking is top class. Suricata Safaris handled all the transport seamlessly.

Organised, knowledgeable, kind, fun and well-priced.
Jambo! Our family of 4 had a fantastic time on safari. We did a 2 night, 3 day experience to include Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara and a visit to a Masai Mara village; food and drink on the safari was included (not drinks at hotel). Emmy Safaris also arranged our pick ups/ drop offs and the hotel either side of the safari. We stayed at Arusha Planet and Farm of Dreams - great staff, rooms, pool and massage! Our guide for our whole time there was Nick and he was fabulous; very informative and attentive. We had great fun and saw the big 5! It was amazing to see elephants intimidate a lioness and her cubs from a watering hole, a leopard lazing in a tree, baboons right next to us, hippos, black rhinos so close and a few majestic lions! These are only some of the animals and birds we saw. The visit to the Masai was an eye opener and interesting to learn about their traditions - my 18 year old son even had a jumping competition with their best jumper! We would recommend Emmy Safaris! Asante sana Jayy and the team.

Amazing 3-Day Kenya Safari – Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Lake Naivasha
We had an absolutely fantastic 3-day safari visiting Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
A special mention has to go to our guide, Joe, who really made the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and patient, and clearly passionate about Kenya and its wildlife. Joe seemed to have an incredible ability to spot animals from miles away and always knew where to go to give us the best experience.
Each destination offered something different. Lake Naivasha was beautiful and peaceful, Lake Nakuru offered incredible wildlife and stunning scenery, and the Masai Mara was simply spectacular. We saw so much wildlife and had some truly magical moments that we'll remember for a long time.
I also want to give a big shout-out to Beyond The Plains Kenya Safaris. They were fantastic to deal with from the very beginning. Communication was excellent, they were very prompt with their responses, answered all my questions and kept me informed about everything throughout the planning process and during the trip. That made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free.
And of course, Joe went above and beyond throughout the safari, making sure we were comfortable, answering all our questions and adapting the experience to make the most of every opportunity.
The landscapes, wildlife and overall experience were amazing, but the combination of a great safari company and an exceptional guide made it even more special.
Highly recommended! Five stars all around. And if you get Joe as your guide, you're in very good hands! 🦁🐘🦒🦓

A great budget option for an exciting safari

Amazing experience!!
Amazing experience! We spotted the big and the ugly 5 🙌🏾 Víctor was our guide and we learnt and enjoy a lot :)
Definitively recommended
Knowledgeable guide, great experience
We found this safari to be great value for money. We spent 3 days in Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater with the guide Victor. Victor was able to show us all the animals we could’ve hoped to see and had a lot of information about all of them. He was helpful when we needed it, allowed us to take good photos and definitely an unforgettable once in a lifetime adventure. Recommend camping, saw elephants, giraffe, and zebras at the campsites.

A safari company that truly cares — about its guests, wildlife and the experience.
From our very first contact back in the Netherlands, we had a really good feeling about this company — and our trip only confirmed that.
Before the trip, everything was easy to arrange via the app and by phone. They were flexible, helpful and even picking us up from the friends we were staying with in Kenya was no problem at all. The price also stood out in a very positive way. We compared several safari companies, and their price was significantly more competitive and, above all, realistic — without compromising on quality.
And then we got Evans Ngeno as our driver and guide.
For six days, he was there for us and took care of everything. What impressed us most was his incredible knowledge of nature and animal behaviour. He knew how to read the animals and could often predict where they were going to move next. As a result, he was often in exactly the right place at exactly the right time — and so were we. This led to some incredible wildlife encounters and amazing photo opportunities.
He also showed genuine respect for nature, the animals and his fellow guides. There was no chasing animals just to get a photo or trying to get to the front at all costs. Instead, there was patience, knowledge and respect. Exactly how we believe a safari should be experienced.
When we ran into problems with one of our accommodations, Evans was immediately there for us. He helped us think through the situation, made calls, tried to arrange solutions and made sure we were not left to deal with it on our own. It is in moments like these that you realise someone is not simply doing their job — they genuinely feel responsible for the people in their care.
We had six fantastic days and look back on a safari we will never forget. The combination of personal attention, flexibility, knowledge, respect for nature and excellent value for money means we can absolutely recommend this company.
And Evans?
You can get lucky on safari…
or you can have Evans as your guide. 😉

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our 3 day safari in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was absolutely amazing and definitely one of the best experiences we’ve ever had!
We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, and our guide Victor made the experience even more special. He was fantastic — very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. We always felt in great hands with him!
The camps we stayed at were also a real experience in themselves. Staying in such beautiful locations, surrounded by nature and wildlife, was truly unforgettable.
