Amazing fit for every budget
We had an amazing time on our safari in Kenia. Already before arriving Patrick was very fast in his responses, cooperative and did everything he could to plan our dream safari in the mentioned budget.
The only thing one has to read carefully before booking, is the vehicle description. We didn't have a jeep, which was fine after 2 days, as we got comfortable and you realy safe money for the same experience ;).
Overall we were so pleases that we directly recommended Mateo Travel and Patrick to my parents.
Our Guide Gordon was also amazing on his job and got us some incredible wildlife moments☺️.
Really recommend Mateo Travel and Patrick 100%.
Go for it, plan it before as Patrick will help you with every question, hesitation and than just enjoy your trip.

Safari in Nyere National park
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Deo Safaris! We spent 10 hours on safari in Nyerere National Park, and the entire day was fantastic from start to finish.
A special thank you to our guide, Muhidin, who truly made the experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. He had a great ability to spot animals and shared lots of interesting information about the wildlife, nature and the park. He was patient, attentive and made sure we had the best possible experience throughout the entire safari.
The whole trip was very well organized, and everything went smoothly. We felt well taken care of and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
We would highly recommend both Deo Safaris and especially Muhidin as a safari guide to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. An unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you for an incredible day!

Absolutely outstanding
Where do I even begin? From the very beginning of the booking process, we felt special. The company was always available, incredibly responsive and happy to answer any questions we had. They were attentive, helpful and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. However, the true highlights of our safari were our incredible guide, Felix, and our amazing chef, Jeremiah. Throughout the entire six-day safari, we felt so incredibly well looked after. Felix went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did he manage to show us the Big Five almost straight away, but his knowledge, passion and genuine kindness towards everyone made the experience even more special. Felix is truly one of a kind, and he genuinely made our safari an unforgettable experience. We honestly felt like a family after this trip and were extremely sad to say goodbye. As three young girls stepping outside our comfort zones and camping in the wilderness, we couldn't have felt more comfortable or at home. Felix made us feel safe, welcome and cared for every step of the way. I will forever be grateful for the experience and memories he has given us. And then there's Jeremiah, our incredible chef! Every single meal he prepared was a 12/10. After travelling for four weeks, the food he served us felt like a home-cooked meal. Everything was absolutely delicious, and some of the meals were honestly among the best I've ever eaten. We were blown away by the quality and effort that went into every dish. If you are considering booking a safari, I honestly cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the booking process to the safari itself, they go above and beyond to make you feel special. Everything is included, so you never have to worry about unexpected extra costs or stress about the little things. This was so much more than just a safari. It was an experience we will cherish forever, and a huge part of that is thanks to Felix, Jeremiah and the entire team. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Unforgettable experience in Tanzania
Our safari with Kale Voyage was a wonderful experience. Oscar Lekule, who runs the agency, is highly responsible and efficient; communication with him was excellent from the very start, and his assistance—both in answering our questions and organizing the safari—was truly professional. It is a completely trustworthy agency.
The safari itself was excellent; we had a good guide, Steve, and a fantastic cook, Samson. I would recommend Kale Voyage and the assistance of Oscar without hesitation to any traveler interested in a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Amazing personal service
We had an amazing time on our safari. We discussed with Joyceline that we wanted a private safari and we wanted it to start from Mwanza which is west of the Serengeti and not the usual starting point for a safari. Joyceline said no.problem and gave us some options, we chose the option that was a 3 day safari starting and finishing in Mwanza. Two days before our safari was due to start we realised we had more time to spare than we thought and asked Joyceline could we extend our safari by a couple of days. She said no problem and within the hour we had a whole new itinerary. She was amazingly helpful and flexible. Our driver met us the night before to go through our new itinerary and picked us up at the agreed time in the morning. Our 2 days in the Serengeti were magical. The lodge that Joyceline had booked for us was incredible. From the Serengeti we went to Ngorongoro crater and finally onto Tarangire. We saw so much including lions, rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes.....it's just too much to list. Our driver was knowledgeable and great and the places we stayed were fantastic with excellent food. Joyceline organised everything for us without any fuss or bother, just amazing calmness and efficiency.
When were about to leave our jeep for the last time we were presented with presents from the Great Lakes team, it was such a lovely gesture and summed up the team perfectly.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and they do everything so well. If you are thinking of going on a safari use Joyceline and the team, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent service and amazing safari with superb guide
Went on 7 days solo safari to Tarangire, Northern and Central Serengeti plus Ngorongoro crater. This was my first safari and my first trip to Africa.
My contact person at Safari Soles was Eva who helped with the planning and gave incredible advice when I asked. Any correspondence was always clear and quick, and she took care of any questions or concerns I had and made sure I had all the information needed well in advance of my trip..
I could not rate the accomodation higher, especially the Gran Melia hotel in Arusha and the Escarpment Luxury Lodge, where they upgraded me to a luxury lodge which had amazing view over Lake Manyara and which had a private swimming pool.
The guide I had was Hussein who was incredible. He was very friendly and his driving was superb, especially over the bumpy rough roads. His knowledge of all the areas and his ability to spot animals was uncanny. Hussein really made the trip an unforgettable experience.
The amount of animals I saw blew my mind, I saw all the Big Five and so much more - loved taking a later afternoon drive by Mara river where we saw loads of crocodiles, not to mention hippos.
In addition, I took a hot air balloon trip over central Serengeti which was fabulous. This was my first time on balloon ride but the experience was unforgettable. We flew just over tree tops where we saw many animals , would highly recommend anyone to take this.
Finally, I would happily recommend Safari Soles to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. In addition I would especially recommend asking for Hussein as your guide - a knowledgeable guide can make all the difference!

Suricata Safaris – Without a Doubt, the Must-Choose Safari Company!
We had the most incredible safari experience with Suricata Safaris, and I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. From the very beginning, we understood why they had so many outstanding reviews. Their communication was fantastic, they were incredibly accommodating, and throughout the entire experience, they consistently went above and beyond to make sure we had the most memorable time.
The value for money was exceptional, but what really sets Suricata apart is the people behind the company. We had heard concerns about how some safari companies treat their guests and guides, so it was particularly special to experience a company where the staff are genuinely valued, respected and passionate about what they do. You can see this reflected in the care and enthusiasm they bring to their work.
If you want to make your safari truly magical, I cannot recommend requesting Felix as your guide enough. He was absolutely outstanding. So considerate, accommodating and knowledgeable, he genuinely took the time to listen to our wishes and suggestions and incorporated them into each day. His knowledge of the wildlife and the national parks was incredible – even guides from other companies would turn to him for advice! He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, saw everything we hoped to see and, most importantly, were enjoying every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
A special mention must also go to Chef Jeremiah, who was equally incredible. His cooking was exceptional, serving the most delicious, authentic meals throughout our trip. We heard him referred to as one of the best chefs amongst the other safari companies, and after experiencing his cooking, we can certainly understand why! He always made sure we were well looked after and comfortable, and his efforts added so much to the overall experience.
I would also highly recommend choosing the camping option. It offers so many more opportunities to experience the parks and wildlife, and there is something truly special about being so immersed in nature. It made the experience even more memorable.
It is clear that Suricata is a growing company, and it is wonderful to see them flourishing while maintaining such a strong commitment to their guests, staff and guides. They are building something really special, and I hope they continue to receive the recognition they deserve.
We are so grateful for the experience we had. A huge thank you to the entire Suricata team, and especially Felix and Jeremiah, whose hard work, passion and care made our safari unforgettable. We would book with Suricata again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering a safari, look no further – Suricata Safaris is the company to choose!
