Incredible!
We had a wonderful experience with Kajie Safaris and have no hesitation in recommending the company. There are so many tour companies to choose from online. We wanted to book direct and support a local company so we read reviews, checked social media presence and verified credentials. We went with our gut feeling and started communicating with Ronald, Josephine and later Maxine from Kajie Safaris and never looked back. They were professional, listened to our preferences, made suggestions and were quick to respond to all communications.
Our guide Colly was amazing. He was professional throughout and looked after us like family. He was passionate and knowledgeable about Uganda and its wildlife, with an intimate knowledge of the parks and he had contacts throughout. This meant that he gave us the best opportunities for animal sightings and we will never forget watching from a front row seat as a leopard descend from a tree and headed towards its earlier kill as the sun set in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw the Big 7 and so much more. His driving was next level and we always felt safe. Colly went out of his way to ensure that we had an unforgettable experience in Uganda, shared so much knowledge and at the same time became a true friend.
The recommended mid-range lodges that we stayed at were clean, comfortable and welcoming and all had something unique to offer. The meals were great and there was so much food. We loved the extended LandCruiser and called it our office. There was room to move around and we both had a front row view at every sighting.
Uganda truly is The Pearl of Africa. From the shoebills at Mabamba Swamp to
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls National Park, the chimpanzees in Kibale, Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Kazinga Channel, the gorillas at Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi and all the villages and landscapes we passed in between, we loved it all.
Thank you Colly and Kajie Safaris for helping us to make memories that we will treasure forever. Everything exceeded our expectations!

Amazing time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and we couldn’t have wished for a better adventure.
The highlight was definitely seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat. It was an unforgettable experience to get so close to these incredible animals and witness the beauty of the African landscape.
A special thank you to Logan, who made our safari even more enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Logan knew exactly where to go and was very patient, giving us plenty of time to enjoy and photograph the animals. His passion for wildlife really made a difference and added so much to the experience.
We saw so much more than we expected, and every moment felt special. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a memory we will cherish forever.
We would highly recommend this safari to anyone visiting Tanzania looking for an unforgettable wildlife experience. And if you are lucky enough to have Logan as your guide, you are definitely in good hands!
Thank you for an incredible day! 🦁🐘🐆❤️

Amazing safari experience with Toilo tours
Tolio Tours was amazing! From the moment I contacted them for a quote, Julius was incredibly responsible, accommodating, and helpful. There were three of us arriving on different flights and at different times, and he adjusted the schedule to make everything work perfectly.
From the airport pickup to all of our activities, everything was extremely well coordinated. The food was also amazing—delicious, homemade, and plentiful. It honestly made me feel right at home.
Golden, our guide, was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience and saw as many animals as possible.
Julius constantly checked on us and even brought us Tanzanian phone chargers and a Wi-Fi device so we could stay connected.
Overall, I highly recommend Tolio Tours. They made our trip stress-free, comfortable, and truly unforgettable. I would definitely book with them again!

The Perfect Safari Experience
We had an amazing experience with Meru Slopes and I would definitely recommend them!
From the very beginning, Gift was helping us through WhatsApp and was always very kind and patient, answering all of our questions and helping us organize everything before the trip. It made us feel very safe and well taken care of.
Our guide, Joel, was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable, attentive and, most importantly, really wanted us to have the best experience possible. He was always looking for animals and explaining everything to us. We saw so many incredible things during the safari, and I honestly think having a good guide makes a huge difference — and Joel was definitely a great one!
Our cook, Buga, also deserves a special mention. The food was much better than we expected for a camping safari! Every meal was delicious and he always prepared everything with so much care.
Another thing we really appreciated was that our time in Arusha before and after the safari was included in the package. They picked us up at the airport, took us back after the trip, and everything was very well organized. We also had a guide take us around Arusha and show us a little bit of the city, which was a really nice extra.
Overall, we felt very well taken care of from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The whole experience was much more than just the safari itself. It was organized, safe, fun and full of amazing memories.
Thank you so much to Gift, Joel, Buga and the whole Meru Slopes team for making our Tanzania trip so special!

The most amazing experience in my life!
This experience was totally worth the price! I wasn’t expecting such a high level of service: all the hotels were lovely and comfortable, the food was delicious, and everything was smoothly organized!
Suricata Safaris provides transfers to and from the airport, a comfortable Land Rover with chargers and plenty of cold water inside, as well as accommodation before, during, and after the safari if you need it.
And I’m especially thankful to our driver, Lewis, who knows everything about wild animals and nature, knows how to find them, and tells you interesting stories about them in perfect English. He is also a very good driver and a really nice person!
We went on a 4-day mid-range safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.

Lewis turned an amazing safari into one of the most unforgettable trips of our lives.
We did a 4-day, 3-night safari with Suricata Safaris, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the experience honestly exceeded our expectations.
The biggest reason was our guide, Lewis. He was absolutely fantastic.
Lewis has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and nature, but what impressed us even more was his ability to actually find the animals and understand what they were going to do next. We saw the entire Big Five and almost all of the Ugly Five, as well as lion cubs, lions hunting, cheetahs running and an incredible amount of wildlife throughout the trip.
One moment perfectly explains why Lewis is such a great guide.
At one point, many safari vehicles rushed toward a group of lions and crowded around them. Lewis did the opposite — he drove away. At first we were a little disappointed and wondered why we were leaving the action.
He simply told us to wait.
He looked around carefully with his binoculars, moved the car to a completely different position and asked us to give it a few minutes. Lewis had noticed elephants moving toward a waterhole and understood that their route would affect the lions and make them move.
And that is exactly what happened.
A few minutes later, the lions walked straight toward us and eventually lay down right in front of our vehicle. While most of the other cars were still somewhere behind, we were almost alone with the lions.
That moment says everything about Lewis. He does not simply follow other safari cars — he understands animal behaviour and thinks ahead.
Apart from being extremely knowledgeable, Lewis was also incredibly polite, punctual, calm and tactful. His English is excellent, he is very easy to communicate with, and he knows when to explain something, when to joke and when to simply let you enjoy the moment.
We spent full days together in the vehicle and never once felt uncomfortable or tired of being around him.
Another thing we really appreciated was how flexible the safari felt. Lewis constantly paid attention to our reactions. When we were fascinated by an animal, we could stay as long as we wanted. When he noticed that we had seen enough, we moved on and started searching for the next thing. It never felt rushed or like we were simply following a fixed schedule.
The vehicle was a large Toyota Land Cruiser, perfect for safari. Visibility was excellent, there were charging points, plenty of water, and even wildlife reference books inside about birds, plants, acacias and other things we were seeing along the way.
Accommodation was also very good. We stayed in proper comfortable places, breakfasts and dinners were usually buffet-style, and even the lunches during game drives were much better than we expected. Since you are often eating literally in the middle of nowhere, lunches were picnic-style, but we still had proper hot food such as rice and chicken rather than just sandwiches and snacks.
Before the trip, safari initially seemed quite expensive to me. After experiencing it, my opinion completely changed.
It was absolutely worth the money.
You are not just paying to drive around and look at animals. You are getting access to one of the few places on Earth where an enormous wild ecosystem still exists in front of you almost exactly as nature intended.
For me, this was also something bigger than just a holiday. I genuinely did not expect our planet to still have places this wild, beautiful and alive.
Seeing Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in person, watching lions, elephants, cheetahs and countless other animals living freely in their natural environment was something I will remember for the rest of my life.
Would I recommend Suricata Safaris to friends? Absolutely.
Would I go again? 100%.
And if I returned, I would specifically ask for Lewis to be our guide again.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience - highly recommended!
We had a truly lovely experience from the very first moment we got in touch with the tour operators. From the warm welcome and greeting to the professionalism of our driver and tour guide, Steve, everything was excellent.
Steve made our experience unforgettable. He was incredibly kind, polite, and knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting information about Kenya, its people, culture, and everyday life. He also made a great effort to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible, which made the safari even more special.
All in all, we were extremely satisfied with the entire experience and would highly recommend this tour. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to Steve, for making our trip so memorable!
