Eagle-eyed guide who spots distant wildlife and always knows where to be at the right time!
We had an amazing safari experience as a family of four! The vehicle was comfortable, our private guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. His eagle eyes spotted animals from incredible distances, and his perfect timing ensured we were always in the right place at the right time. Everything was well organised, and we saw all the animals we hoped for, including the Big Five and the Ugly Five. An unforgettable experience we highly recommend!

Professional!
I heard of SINGE TOURS in 2023 through a colleague in Nairobi. I have since then organised about a dozen trips to different places with / for different persons. I know that I can count on their professionalism to sit back and relax. Once I give them the brief and we agree on the expectations (mode of transport, accommodation, activities, etc.), my focus quickly shifts to co-ordinating my team. I leave Singe Tours to do the rest. The drivers are cordial and keep time (a commendable trait in the tropics). Thanks to their good knowledge of the parks, the safaris acquire an educational character, enabling us to enjoy the trip and to learn a few lessons about wildlife and the parks.
I just returned from Samburu National Park yesterday with some friends. We stayed in Samburu Elephant Lodge. Without the driver's knowledge and patience, we would not have spotted all the animals endemic to the area (reticulated giraffe, Baiser oryx, Somali ostriches, grevy zebras, and gerenuk). We got to see the close to 20 lions hiding under the orange-leaf croton bushes. It is these little details that contributed to the wonderful experience by my team.
During our debrief after the safari, one team member said the following: "The game drive was fantastic; the driver was courteous and patient and friendly and always kept time. The food was very well done, very tasty, at the right temperature and in good portions. The hotel staff were amazing, courteous, friendly, pleasant, and on time. The group was great. Very friendly. The beds were very comfortable. The hotel environment was so serene; I enjoyed the lounge and sunbeds and the view of the river and bush experience. The room was spacious, clean and had enough bathroom supplies."

The safari tours were an incredible experience and highlight of our vacation!
We booked a 3 day luxury tour from Johannesburg to Krueger National Park in October for our anniversary. Booking was easy using email and WhatsApp to communicate with Knap Tours.
The first day starts with about a 6 hour drive from Johannesburg airport to the destination riding in a van.
The "luxury" was because we chose to stay at a hotel, which was the Radisson. We were thrilled with that decision. The hotel was very nice, with two fabulous pools and great mountain views. The package included buffet style meals and our room was spacious and had air conditioning, which was appreciated. Highly recommend if you prioritize comfort.
We had a late afternoon tour once we arrived. It was booked for 14:10 but there were multiple safari jeeps and the drivers made no attempt to engage or announce their arrival, even though we were standing & waiting. We had to contact Knap Tours to figure out if our guides were even there and then had to go around asking the different drivers if they were for our tour. Once we finally connected with the appropriate car (30 min later), it was a smooth experience. The guides were nice and did a great job spotting and finding animals for us to view. Getting to enjoy the sunset in the park was beautiful. On our way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The full day was absolutely fantastic!! Our guide was great, and we saw so many different animals. It was incredible!! On the way back to the hotel, I had to reach out to Knap Tours to request the schedule for the following day which was promptly received.
The last day was a morning tour. The park we went to was very sparse, and we didn't see anything in the first hour of driving. Even after it was a single elephant, a single giraffe, and old water buffalo. I don't know how, but near the end we did see a small family of lions which saved the tour from being uneventful.
We took a similar van back to Johannesburg. We were told the wrong departure time so the group was a bit frustrated that they were waiting for us. The drive was irritating due to two rude individuals who treated the van as their personal party being loud, taking phone calls on speaker, watching reels without headphones, singing, etc. while everyone else was trying to relax from the early morning start times. I wish the driver would have made an announcement at the first rest stop about respecting everyone in the van and keeping noise to a respectable level. Obviously, Knap Tours cannot control the behavior of others but setting some expectations might have helped.

Elias was welcoming, patient, full of knowledge and determined to provide a top experience for us!
Absolutely incredible! Budget camping safari did not feel like budget at all! From our pick up we were looked after, given amazing photo opportunities as well as interesting knowledge of all the facts. Our guide Elias was determined also to ensure we caught all the action, especially with a lion pride catch and a male lion walking in Ngorongoro Crater. After our drives, our chef, Pius, ensured we felt comfortable on camp and eased any nerves! The food he provided for breakfast lunch and dinner was top notch! For a backpacker having camped elsewhere in Africa, I was delighted to have delicious meals everyday, especially homemade pizza !!! But most of all, he created a fun atmosphere on camp too!
The budget camping safari was spectacular but one thing that made it even better was the people met because of the group joining aspect of it!
Thank you so much Elias and Pius and Suricata Safaris! A trip of a lifetime!

Knowledgeable
I had an amazing experience with suricata. Elias was the kindest tour guide with expert knowledge. There wasn’t a question you’d ask about the animals that he didn’t have the answer to. He was passionate and dedicated to giving us the best experience possible and it even exceeded my already high expectations I had. This has truly been an adventure of a lifetime with memories I will cherish for years to come, seeing the animals in their natural habitat has been magical. I will be back again one day! Would highly recommend Elias and suricata to anyone looking for a quality safari experience.

Communication was great and we always received prompt replies to any questions
We had an amazing time. Kathi was so professional and all elements of the trip were expertly planned. The trip was excellent value for money and all accommodation and guides were of a very high standard. We received lots of information prior to the trip and an app to help us navigate each day made our daily planning easy. Kathi also arranged for a birthday surprise while we were there. She was very professional and very easy to work with.

21 Days Tour, Exceptional Service, Fair Prices, and an Unforgettable Ethiopian Experience
We spent 21 unforgettable days exploring the beautiful and diverse country of Ethiopia with our group of friends, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime. As friends who share a passion for photography, we had countless priceless moments, breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and wonderful cultural encounters that we will never forget.
Our journey included 10 days exploring the spectacular Simien and Bale Mountains, followed by 11 days discovering the historical, cultural, and natural treasures of Lalibela, Gondar, the Omo Valley, and Harar. Every destination offered something unique, and we came away with beautiful memories and thousands of photographs to remind us of this amazing adventure.
A special thank-you goes to Mr. Lamesgn, the owner of the tour company, for organizing such a wonderful trip. The tour was exceptionally well planned, the price was fair, and everything was arranged so smoothly that we never felt we were missing out on anything. The team was professional, helpful, and genuinely committed to making our journey enjoyable.
One moment that really showed the quality of their service was when our domestic flight from Addis Ababa to Jinka was cancelled due to weather conditions. The team acted immediately and arranged an alternative flight to Arba Minch, allowing us to continue our itinerary without missing our planned tour. We truly appreciated how quickly and efficiently they handled this unexpected situation. It gave us great peace of mind and showed us that we were in good hands.
What made this trip so special was not only the incredible places we visited, but also the care, organization, and dedication of the people behind it. Ethiopia is a remarkable country, full of beauty, history, culture, and warm hospitality, and having a reliable team made our experience even more meaningful.
Thank you, Mr. Lamesgn, and the entire team, for your hard work, kindness, and outstanding organization. You helped turn our 21 days in Ethiopia into memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour company to anyone planning to discover Ethiopia. If you are looking for a well-organized tour, fair prices, and a team that truly cares about its guests, we can confidently recommend them.
Thank you once again for everything. We came as friends with a passion for photography, and we left with unforgettable memories, amazing photographs, and a deeper appreciation for Ethiopia. We hope to return someday!
