A Journey I’ll Never Forget
I never imagined how deeply an African safari would move me. From the moment we set out across the golden plains at sunrise, I felt like I had stepped into a nature documentary—except this time, I was living it. Watching a herd of elephants cross our path, hearing lions roar in the distance, and seeing the sun dip below the acacia trees was nothing short of magical.
What struck me most wasn’t just the wildlife, but the people. Our guide’s passion and knowledge brought every moment to life, and the warmth of the local communities made me feel truly welcome. It wasn’t just a trip—it was a reminder of how wild and beautiful the world still is.
I came home with more than just photos. I brought back a sense of awe, gratitude, and a promise to return.

Excellent
Amazing 8-day private safari with Goldfinch Adventures, with excelent guide, Swahibu Othoman, who showed us so many animals and special sightings. Accommodation were fantastic, so were all arrangements done by Brenda. Tanzania stole our hearts - will definately return.

Excellent safari
Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Engaged with Abia to curate the experience according to our needs, budget and preferences - always happy to listen and act on our wishes. The accommodation was great, the safaris were brilliant and our driver/guide was just fantastic. Pleasant, knowledgeable, fun to be around and also very calm and respectful of the wildlife. We saw all the wildlife we wanted to see and more. Tanzania with this company was the best safari we’ve done out of our 5 safaris in Africa, topped off by brilliant and relaxing few days in Zanzibar.

Custom tailored perfectly for our needs!
My husband and I had a wonderful tour with two children under 8, my mom, and a close family friend. The trip was wonderful from the start. We were picked up at the airport by our guide, Paxton, who was an absolute delight. He shared so many interesting facts with us, was wonderful with our kids, and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see plus more than we imagined!
We had an 8 day safari and stayed at three lodges: 1. Ol Tukai Lodge Amboseli 2. The Cliff Nakuru 3. &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Masai Mara. We loved amboseli park but Ol Tukai wasn't our favorite. They charged us for drinking water at every meal. Many times we were tired and wanted to go to bed after the drives but we'd have to wait for our bill for water. We'd much rather have an inclusive experience even if it was slightly more expensive for drinking water. However, the park, landscape and drives were an absolute dream. We'd go back to the park again anytime! 2. The cliff was incredible. The safari was the least exciting but we did a boat ride safari and it was so fun to mix it up. This resort is pure relaxation with a sunrise that cannot be described it's so fabulous. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Oh yes, the spa was amazing and the prices were super reasonable! Don't miss the spa:) 3. &beyond Maasai Mara was out of this world. The accommodations and service were top notch. Absolutely incredible. The park and drives were remarkable and exciting. We saw every single cat in a 2 hour span! Just fantastic!
We drove between all locations. While we thoroughly enjoyed seeing more of Kenya, if you can afford to fly, we'd recommend only doing 2 drives between parks maximum and flying the rest. It's still worth seeing more of Kenya and doing a couple car rides, but the drives were super long and we wished we would have splurged and skipped 2 of the long car rides.
All of that being said, Esther was an absolute delight to plan the trip with over a few months. She worked tirelessly to make sure every single detail was taken care of and that our experience was fabulous. We would welcome working with her again on another trip. In addition to safari and accommodations, she planned a visit to see the bead making, dinner at carnivore in Nairobi, a village visit, and kids activities for our children. She was wonderful, our guide Paxton was wonderful, and we are forever grateful for the lifelong memories they helped us create!

A wonderful experience
We had a wonderful tour of the falls with Langa as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything well. She gave us enough time at every look out point to take in the views and take photos. I highly recommend this tour.

Operator that really cares about their customers.
The safari with Suricata Safaris was way beyond everything expected. All the staff is so nice, always taking care of you and making you have the best time. The food was incredible at every lodge I stayed and in between the game drives we enjoyed lunch in picnic areas inside the parks, this was prepared by the chef (it was nice and local food). It was worth every penny, the customer service was nice and effective and it was an experience i’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
Since I arrived at Kilimanjaro airport everything was amazing. After pick up they drove me to Arusha to meet the rest of the group and have a delicious breakfast. There we met with our incredible guide, Shabani (best guide ever), who helped us pack our stuff and drove us directly to Tarangire. There we had an amazing afternoon game drive, we were able to spot some of the big 5 and other beautiful animals. Later that night he drop off us at Suricata Bima Lodge, and there are no words to describe how pretty the place was.
The lodge had an incredible view to lake Manyara, where I enjoyed the sunset, the pool and some cocktails during the happy hour, also I saw the acrobatic show the stuff had prepared and enjoy a wonderful dinner while hearing live some traditional Tanzanian songs performed by the staff.
The next day I also had an incredible breakfast, still enjoying the amazing view from the restaurant and headed to Serengeti. Here we had another afternoon game drive and we were able to watch the sunset on our way to the lodge. This lodge was located inside Serengeti so during the night we could hear lions and other animals, and there is nothing more increíble than waking up and seeing elephants just behind the lounge tent. We enjoyed another game drive and headed to Ngorongoro.
At Ngorongoro we were able to complete the big 5 watching, which was beyond incredible. Also, we enjoyed a coffee right next to a swamp, while looking at rhinos and many other birds. After that, we had early lunch and started our journey back to Arusha.
