Good!
Overall, we had a very good experience with Suricata Safaris. The highlights of the trip were the incredible wildlife sightings and the quality of the staff. We saw a large number of animals from very close distances, and our guide, Melita, did an excellent job positioning the vehicle and sharing information throughout the safari. He was also very friendly and professional. Lucas, our cook, prepared delicious meals during the trip and exceeded our expectations.
On the downside, the safari vehicle was not particularly comfortable, although it seemed that most tour operators use very similar vehicles. My main disappointment was with the accommodation on the second night of the 3-day Middle Camp safari. The first camp was excellent, with a great tent and a fantastic overall experience. However, the second accommodation was outside the reserve, about an hour from the entrance gate, which meant extra travel time. The hotel itself was average, the window in our room would not close properly, and we experienced problems with the hot water.
Despite these issues, the safari itself was memorable and well organized. The amazing wildlife, the guide, and the food made the experience worthwhile. The only aspect that significantly disappointed us was the quality and location of the second accommodation.

Engaged and knowledgeable
The experience was great! The food and accommodation were excellent and unique. The drives in Maasai Mara were splendid and our guide was very considerate of our wants and needs. The only drawback I felt was the off-road driving. It seems to be clear that such activity is strictly forbidden in the park, but most of the drivers seemed to disregard the rule in favour of “enhancing” the experience by seeing more mammals. This is far from being bound to only our guide and company, but rather a negative culture that has developed among the safari community.

Good
Very fun seeing the animals and very nice guide. Very sad to see so many of the safari cars drive off road, horrible. Informative and great trip!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
We had a great 4-day safari experience and really enjoyed the trip overall. Our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had the best opportunities to see wildlife.
The only areas for improvement would be the food, as the portions seemed to get smaller each day. On the last day, everyone received just one chicken drumstick, and some people barely had any meat at all. We also would have appreciated being asked before making stops at two souvenir markets on the way to the airport, as we were not informed about these detours in advance.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari and we would definitely recommend it, especially because of the great guide and the amazing wildlife experience.

Great
all is great from pickup to 4th day of tour.tour guide very attentive and knowledgeable,keep up the explanation (Roger)
however can improve taking notes on client requirement.
-My 6 days tour meal box wasn't gluten free as per agreed. the tour probably missed it because they had too many bookings each day.
-Inform client if skipping the location then we will understand better in advance dont give hope example Baboon cliff.Whatever stated on iternary that's what client paid.
-Keep client contact number private and confidential dont simply share to somewhat,stick to one marketing agent in charge.it is for good communication system.

A great adventure
Thanks to John, my guide driver who has a good eye to spot and track animals. He is patient and professional. I had a wonderful time in Akagera Park! We saw lions, girafes, zebras, elephant and much more!

Good planner, flexible
Excellent service from start to finish. The team was patient throughout the communication process, and the itinerary was well arranged. They accommodated almost all of our requests, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. Temba is an experienced guide with 12 years of expertise. He can accurately spot animals even hundreds of meters away. He is friendly, patient, and highly professional. We had a wonderful experience with him.
