An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris
We had an unforgettable safari experience with Suricata Safaris, far beyond our expectations. During the trip, we visited some of Tanzania’s most iconic places, including Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and each day brought something truly memorable.
Our guide, Steve, was absolutely outstanding. He was professional, calm, friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about wildlife, nature and the ecosystems we were discovering. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals, even from a great distance, and always took the time to explain animal behaviour, landscapes, plants and the specific characteristics of each area. His careful driving also made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey.
Thanks to Steve, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with many other rare and beautiful animals: lions, elephants, buffaloes, black rhinos, leopards, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, eagles and many other birds. Seeing several black rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater was a very special moment, and spotting a leopard in the distance was also a real highlight.
The Serengeti was extraordinary. We were especially fortunate to witness two Mara River crossings, which were among the most powerful and unforgettable moments of the entire trip. Watching the wildebeest gather, hesitate and finally cross the river was both spectacular and deeply moving.
The organisation was excellent from start to finish. The 4×4 vehicle was spacious and comfortable, the food provided during the safari was delicious, and there was always plenty of drinking water available. The lodges and camps were comfortable and well selected. Suricata Boma Lodge near Lake Manyara was particularly beautiful, with a peaceful setting, comfortable rooms and excellent food.
We also greatly appreciated the cultural dimension of the trip, including our visit to a small Maasai village near Suricata Boma Lodge, where we learned more about traditional homes, dances and the daily lives of several families.
This is certainly a very expensive experience, but in our opinion, it is absolutely worth it. The quality of the organisation, the exceptional wildlife encounters, the landscapes and the expertise of our guide made it a truly once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Overall, this was a beautifully organised safari, filled with incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes and unforgettable moments. A special thank you to Steve, whose knowledge, kindness, professionalism and passion made the experience truly exceptional. We would highly recommend Suricata Safaris.

A magical 10 days safari experience with Tony , 100% recommended
We had a fantastic first safari 11 days experience thanks to Tony and his team, with 4 members family and a friend. Tony is a great person who built his own company organizing safari, a remarkable guide and tracker, who demonstrates high respect for the wildlife, a great knowledge of animals and nature conservation; He is very professional and service oriented, with a good sense of humour. He is also familiar with photography and understands well amateur and professional photographers needs. The camp was very well organized by Ronnie and Ben, with Ronnie cooking very good and diverse meals . The tents are confortable, with separate shower /toilet area in each tent. We started from Maun, 4 different parks/area : Makgadikgadi, Savuti, Chobe , and morning in Victoria Falls, flight back from Zimbawe, 2 nights in lodge in Maun, 1 night before departure, all other nights in tent camp. Daily schedule is flexible, in our case we started with 6:00 AM wake up , looked for wildlife in the morning, back at the camp in the warmer hours for lunch and free time, and safari again from 16:30 to sunset around 18:15, then dinner at the camp. We could observe every possible animals , Tony found them and followed them when possible, with patience , a strong sense of tracking and observation, and expert knowledge of the parks. We warmly recommend Tony as an exceptional safari organizer and guide , he is also very respected by other guides we could meet along the way. The safari experience was great, and we were alone most of the time , or with very few cars around, which was appreciated as Tony favours uncrowded area and a genuine safari experience. The overall value for money for this safari was very good, the service offered by Tony Mobile was very reliable. We also highly recommend Bostwana as a country, with great people, and for its unspoiled nature and a very diverse wildlife. We recommend Tony Mobile Safari 100% and more !

Exceptionally well organized, incredibly patient and responsive tour operator and outstanding guide
From start to finish, our experience with Morningstar Safaris was exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and our six-day safari through the North and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater exceeded all of our expectations.
Alice, our tour operator, was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand our travel style and budget and created an itinerary that was perfect for us. Throughout the planning process, she was patient, responsive, and always happy to answer our questions about the itinerary and lodging options. During our 11-night trip through Tanzania—including Arusha, Safari, and Zanzibar—she checked in regularly and even resolved a minor accommodation issue for us quickly and seamlessly.
Jackson, our safari guide, was equally outstanding. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and birdlife was exceptional, and his expertise made every game drive unforgettable. Thanks to his determination, we were able to see and photograph an incredible variety of animals in their natural habitat, including black rhinos, cheetahs, and leopards. Time and again, just when we thought we would miss seeing an animal, Jackson somehow managed to find it.
What impressed us most was how Jackson went above and beyond when our independently booked flight to Zanzibar was unexpectedly delayed by five hours. Although it wasn't his responsibility, he helped us secure an earlier flight, saving the rest of our trip.
We highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel, especially Alice and Jackson. Their dedication, expertise, and exceptional service turned an incredible safari into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would gladly travel with them again.

Amazing experience
Savannah Explorers were lovely from first contact, with a more personal, less sales focused approach.
Our guide Jumar really made the experience outstanding. His passion for animals, insane ability to find them, his warmth and knowledge transformed our safari into a rich, informative and magical experience. He seemed to be liked by everyone in Tanzania which I suspect gave us the inside track on many occasions.
Savannah Explorers consistently provided some lovely accommodation with good food, amazing views and always a warm welcome.
Highlights were early starts (even for the very non morning people) as the sun rises and the animals and lighting and lack of other people create lasting memories.
And if you want to tick boxes, I can confirm, big five and a whole lot more.
Enormous thanks to Savanna, Gladys, Jumar and Tanzania.

A very special company and itinerary
This tour was incredibly cost-effective. I saw stunning scenery and various wild animals in the Maasai Mara, and most importantly, the price was reasonable. Our entire group was very satisfied. On the last day, we also saw magnificent views in Amboseli National Park. Excellent! Highly recommended!

Attentive to detail, personalising our unforgettable safari
Every detail from pick up to drop off was managed so we could just sit back and enjoy our safari. Our driver, Songee, was extremely knowledgeable and was always keen to prioritise what we wanted to see on our safari drives. He knew when to wait and watch the animals and when we would be wasting our time, as the animals were hiding or would turn back from a migration crossing. He knew animal territories in the parks and where to go to see what, multiple times finding us animal experiences with just our keep and away from the carnage of 40 keeps trying to look at 1 sleeping lion. He advised us on our last safari drive to wait and watch a single sleeping lion, as all the other jeeps left, we waited and saw another 5 lions appear, hidden in the grass.
Highly recommend the operator and we had an unforgettable 5 nights away.
