Awesome safari experience
I booked on Tripadvisor as I found the package to be priced competitively compared to others. The pick up and drop service was awesome. David - my tour driver/guide was super good. We saw the big 4 on our first evening safari and again on the next day during the full day safari. The lake Nakuru trip was also very good- David managed to spot a lion at lake Nakuru as well.
The accommodations were pretty great. I loved the lenchada camp stay and the homely food there.
I will definitely recommend this.

Best time!
We did a 8D,7N safari including Amboseli National Prak, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Dickson was our driver/guide and he did an amazing job. He made sure that we get to see the most and experience the best. He catered to our needs and suggested/moulded plans basis our schedule, he was very well informed and made sure that we see the big 5.

Good operator, excellent guide
Our guide Eric is a full-experienced safari guide, who drives cautiously and clean up the car everyday, builds good relations with locals, has various knowledge of animals and is eager to share with us. We took a 6-day trip and luckily we met all the big 5.
Our consultant Mike replied promptly and detailed. We appreciate all of the effort they made.

Thank you for the incredible memories
Agnes and Benson were excellent at responding to all our queries from initial contact, exploring safari options through to the final reservations. They communicated expectations clearly and exceeded if not met them. Accommodations, transfers between destinations and of course - the raison d’etre of the journey - game viewing and guiding were excellent. From Day 1 in a well-equipped vehicle, including refrigerated drinks and WiFi (so much for our deliberate effort to disconnect…LOL).
James M. our superhuman, eagle-eye ambassador-guide exceeded all worldly expectations, navigating Kenyan traffic conditions, punctual, and ever-cheerful. James is proud to be Kenyan, sharing his knowledge about its regions and cultures. He is a model leader for all guides bringing us as close as reasonably possible to rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, lions, cheetahs and a leopard with a mind to preservation for future generations of both game and tourists. He worked hard to seek the best possible game-viewing and photograph opportunities possible. His philosophy of “Take nothing and leave only your footsteps” remains true for all natural wonders on this planet. Where the ground turned soft, James displayed awesome judgement and mad technical 4WD skills keeping us safe. Where road conditions proved challenging James worked with other guides and us to ensure safety for all. The sundowners under a Balanite tree in the Mara was a spirit-lifting experience and the views of animals, Uhuru and Mawenzi from Noomotio were breathtaking.
Overall we are glad for opting for road travel between destinations as it offered an opportunity to experience the country and people, granted in a very filtered fashion – but certainly better than air travel. We could not have hoped for a better Safari Company and guide than Classic Explorers and James, respectively.

Best experience ever!
We had unforgettable moments with our family!
The Suricata team gave us all the support.
Our guide Louis was amazing: he’s kind, polite, explain everything and he took us to the best places for animal watching, and we saw all of the Big Five, plus many others.
Our Safari stays were wonderful, as were the meals and service. I highly recommend it!

A truly unforgettable Safari - with an exceptional Tour Guide!
My teenage daughter & I experienced our first safari in Tanzania, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, this journey was nothing short of extraordinary – a once-in-a-lifetime adventure made unforgettable by an exceptional guide.
The 7-day safari tour through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara was outstanding, offering breathtaking landscapes and an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. Each day brought new highlights, and magical, cinematic moments. The lodges, accommodation, and food were carefully selected and of very high quality – including a surprise visit from a hippo right outside our tent at night.
Our guide, Godfrey, was simply exceptional. His deep knowledge of wildlife, animal behavior, ecosystems, and Tanzania’s natural heritage transformed each game drive into a rich and engaging learning experience. Beyond his professionalism, calm presence and expertise, what truly sets him apart is his cultural sensitivity and deep connection to local communities. He is highly respected, well connected, and genuinely committed to opening doors and supporting local people.
A personal highlight was our visit to a local school in Arusha, where we were invited to join a reading class and share lunch with the children – an enriching experience that added a powerful dimension to our trip. This was far more than a safari; it was an authentic, inspiring journey that we will treasure forever. Thanks so much, Godfrey, for making this possible 🙏🏾

Able was very friendly, informative and always eager to please
We considered several operators and value for money with Ibanga was very competitive.
All in all we had a great 12-day trip, with a couple of minor irritations on advised times to travel between places compared with the actual.
Our mid range option lodges were all comfortable, to the point we would have liked to have more time to enjoy the facilities and just relax occasionally. (Note: my wife and I are at retirement age).
We did not expect the extra cost for the safari guides that apperaed at each park who expected a fee.
Summary - excellent and a lifelong dream to sit with gorillas achieved.

Professional and personalised service
We spent 5 days and 4 nights with Peak Season Africa Safaris, including over New Year, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Kevin, was truly professional and reliable throughout the journey. He clearly loves wildlife and the animals, and his deep knowledge made every sighting more meaningful. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped for including the Big Five.
Kevin drove safely and responsibly, always on time, and he knew his role perfectly—never overstepping, but always attentive and accommodating to our needs. His calm presence and dedication gave us confidence and allowed us to fully enjoy the safari.
The only challenge we faced was the heavy traffic between Nairobi airport and Lake Nakuru National Park, which meant we arrived at the hotel after dark. However, Kevin handled the situation with care, and we reached safely.
Overall, the service, communication, and reliability of Peak Season Africa Safaris were excellent, and the value for money was clear in every detail. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and enriching safari experience.
