Totally brilliant safari thanks to the awesome Serengeti African Tours
I can’t rate this company highly enough. Right from my first contact with Inviolata, the information provided was clear and she put together a great 9 day trip for me, my daughter and niece. It was great to meet her in person the day we arrived, for a briefing about our trip so we knew what to expect.
Our safari guide Ombeni went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We saw so many animals, especially in the Serengeti (our favourite place). The tented camp was brilliant and we had the company of a grazing hippo right outside our tent one night. Ombeni also has a great sense of humour and we had such a lot of fun too with lots of laughs and banter.
We also had Efraim on our trip, a trainee guide, who was brilliant and it was a pleasure to get to know him over the week. He has a fantastic knowledge of animals and I am sure he will soon be expertly leading his own safaris.
I am especially grateful to them for rescuing our family members, who were on safari with another company that was very poorly organised. Thank you Ombeni.
All in all, Serengeti African Safaris are a highly professional and dedicated company who go out of their way to ensure their clients have a wonderful time. First class all round!

Excellent!
We had an amazing safari! They planned the safari just as we asked them to. Our guide was knowledgeable and could pick out the animals from far or near (I had to use binoculars to see what he saw!). He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel without trouble. It was worth every penny we paid for it! We would definitely go with them again!

Amazing 4 days safari trip! Recommend it to everyone!
We had an amazing 4-day safari with Suricata Safaris! Everything was very well organized, communication was quick, and all our pickups went smoothly.
We saw the entire Big 5, and the animals were so close to our jeep it felt like you could reach them. A huge thank you to our guide, Ecky—he is so friendly, super organized, a great driver, and told us so many cool facts about the animals. It was also really nice to see how much he genuinely enjoys what he is doing every day!
We also met some really nice people who joined our car, had all our meals together, and had so much fun—so if you're thinking of joining as a solo traveler, don't worry at all.
Camping was great, and the food prepared by our chef was delicious at every single meal. Fantastic value for money and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Suricata Safaris and Ecky to everyone!

Great tour, everything on time, great adventure with an amazing guide
First of all, James Mwaura is the best guide we could ever imagine. We feel like friends or even family after this amazing trip.
We had a 8N9D safari with 3 days Masai Mara followed by Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli.
James made sure we had the best time. He knows sooooo many things about the wildlife and nature and he could answer all of our questions! Also he is the best driver!
My gf’s luggage was lost for the first days and he organized the delivery to the Masai Mara and picked it up with us.
Also he made sure we see all the big 5 (a lot of times!). We were often alone with lions & cheetahs; or at spots with not many other cars. He took a lot of effort to encounter special sightings for us! Also he respected the animals and nature very well!
In the evenings, we sometimes had dinner with him and had nice conversations :)
Without him, the safari definitely wouldn’t have been as good as it was.
If you want better accommodations, we would recommend to upgrade the budget ones. In the Masai Mara, we stayed in the Endeem Mara Resort and this was fantastic! It’s only 1 minute to the gate and it has a nice swimming pool!
The other accommodations, we didn’t upgrade and they were quite basic - but fine for budget options!
Masai Mara was the best experience! We definitely recommend doing at least 2 full days there!
James Mwaura was always on time and even made some extra stops so that we could organize some more clothes for my gf as she had no luggage.
The trip planned from the Super Eagles was great although I think it could slightly be adjusted to safe time.
Again, a special thanks to James Mwaura and thanks for the great tour to the team of Super Eagles also specially Chanson Kimani who organized the whole tour and helped so much upfront to the tour.
100% recommend, most of the trip was a 10/10 experience!

Very capable driver in bad weather.
We had a great drive from Kruger to Johannesburg. It rained heavily along the way, but that was no problem for our driver, Joseph.

An Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Suricata Safari!
We just returned from a 4-day safari, and it was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized - from the moment we landed and were met by the transfer, right up until we boarded our flight home.
Throughout the entire tour, we were excellently fed delicious meals freshly prepared especially for our group.
The safari route was simply outstanding. We had the best guide Ecky: thanks to him we saw so many animals. Along the whole route he was attentive, caring and friendly, and he shared so much interesting information about the wildlife.
I wholeheartedly recommend Suricata Safari and guide Ecky!

Amazing tour, would do it again!
The operator is really fast in answering questions and providing information. We did the 3 day and 2 nights Masai Mara. The jeep was a good size, we were 7 people in the car but it was very spacious. We chose the mid budget accommodation and it was truly so nice! Clean rooms, nice showers, really good food. All meals are included. My friend is a vegetarian and she also enjoyed the food very much. But mostly our tour guide Joseph was truly amazing! He really took care of us, knew so much about the animals, we saw all big five and were able to ask him to stop longer if we wanted to. Very funny and good music taste as well ☺️ The optional masai Mara village is also highly recommended!! Very cool to see and they were also very funny.
This whole tour was our best memory from Kenya and I would recommend Jocky Tours to everyone! If you get the chance ask for Joseph as your tour guide! He made it 11/10

Very reliable operator
We've booked the Chobe day trip as well as several transfers with them (from Livingstone Airport to our hotel in Livingstone, from our hotel in Livingstone to our hotel in Victoria Falls, crossing the Zambia-Zimbabwe border, and from our hotel in Victoria Falls to Victoria Falls Airport).
Macdonald Diki was really nice and arranged everything for us. We had 4 different drivers during our time with Rockfowl, and everyone was friendly and kind.
Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about them. Everything went very smoothly.

everything is good
Everything was great; our driver, Emanuele, really looked after us and helped us spot animals. It was a wonderful experience, and I would love to go back—it was truly beautiful.
