Truly unforgettable experience
I went for a 5-day safari trip in Okavango Delta with the guide Meier, and I would say this is definitely one of the most amazing trips I have ever done. Before the departure, whenever I have questions, I can always receive prompt responses and suggestions from the staff. Then, at the beginning of the trip, I was totally surprised by all the setup of the camping facilities and all the services provided from food to cleaning. As a backpacker and camper myself, I can tell how much effort the staff have put into to make sure all the guests feel comfortable during the safari and I am always amazed by their attention to even little details like giving us towels when we just got back from the morning or afternoon game drive. In terms of the safari itself, that's an even more memorable experience: our guide is very experienced, insightful and passionate about wildlife spotting, and he is not just randomly exploring by luck, but is synthesizing different pieces of information to find the most probable route and behavior of animals. There are always ups and downs when it comes to the number of wildlife we saw every day, but even on the dry days, I don't feel way too disappointed because I can really feel the efforts our guide has made. I am really glad that I chose Early Kingfisher for my first safari and they really helped me realize the magic and charm of safari in Africa, and I am already hoping and planning to come back and go with them again in the foreseeable future.

Amazing
From the beginning (picking us up from our Hotel close to the Airport) till going back everything was perfect and exactly what we were hopeing. Our driver, Sibusiso (Sibu), was so friendly, funny and welcomeing, that we knew exactly from the first moment we talked to him, that the whole trip will be just perfect. When we arrived at the Lion Park, we felt like we are in a dream. Exactly what you think as an european about africa. And than the Tour through the Park with the really funny and friendly guy MK, was amazing. We will come back to Johannesburg and will do the tour again, 100%. Thank you!!

Amazing and exciting journey creating memories for life
We went for a five day tour with Suricata safari that was absolutely amazing. Rocky was a fantastic guide, being very knowledgeable, helpful and always gave us the best views of the animals. He taught us a lot about the animals, national parks, history and Tanzania in general.
The accommodation provided was great, and the Suricata Boma Lodge was amazing, located overlooking the lake, with great food, entertainment, clean big rooms and perfect service. The personnel was very kind, creating a joyful, relaxed and happy atmosphere.
We got freshly prepared meals for lunch in the parks, which was much appreciated with hungry teenagers.
We saw the ”big five” and many other animals like cheetah, hippo, hyena, wildebeest, baboon, crocodile, zebra, giraffe and jackal. The nature and wildlife in the national parks is spectacular.
I highly recommend Suricata safaris for all the reasons above, they provide perfect services from start to the end. Despite arriving after midnight Daniel came to give us information about the tour starting the day after.
Thank you for everything !

Unforgettable Week!
We had the most incredible 7-day safari with Destiny Explorers! Our guide, David, was an absolute gem — endlessly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and always ensuring we were comfortable and well cared for.
From spotting lions, elephants, leopards and giraffes to visiting a breathtaking waterfall and meeting two local tribes, every day was filled with unforgettable moments.
Each evening, we stayed in beautiful lodges and camps offering warm hospitality, delicious meals, and stunning views. We truly felt looked after from beginning to end.
Highly recommend Destiny Explorers to anyone wanting to experience the magic of Tanzania in just one week!

Complete humility, combined with helpfulness, understanding and experience.
We just returned from a 4-day group camping safari with Suricata Safari – and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Everything was spot on: the safari itself, the food, the atmosphere, and especially our amazing guide, Lewis.
The tour took us through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro – and it turned out to be the perfect combination. Each park offered something unique and brought us closer to different animals and landscapes. Tarangire was packed with giraffes, zebras, and elephants. Serengeti delivered countless lions, hippos, and many other species. And in Ngorongoro, we rounded things off by spotting rhinos, buffalo, monkeys, zebras, and so much more. It truly felt like we saw everything we could hope for – and then some.
Our guide, Lewis, was outstanding. Calm, knowledgeable, humble, and deeply passionate about nature – he made the whole trip feel safe, smooth, and very special. The food exceeded all expectations, with warm meals prepared by our own chef every day. And spending the nights camping inside the national parks, surrounded by wildlife sounds, was an incredible and unforgettable experience.
All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We can’t recommend Suricata Safari enough!

It was one of best hospitalities with quality services.
I felt honored due to excellent service provided by Makunga Tours and Safaris. Excellent briefing by Madam, Fadhila about the area, traditionally build cottages and types of fruits around. It was different experience there having local organic foods which were show-cased in clay pots. I experienced peace of mind and full of positive vibes there. Fortunately, got to meet Ms. Sasha, managing director of Sasha Spice Africa in the same event. It was nice intraction with her and came to know more about Africa. Thank you Makunga Tours and Safaris and Madam, Fadhila for this excellent treats. I wish to visit again in the future.

Very knowledgeable operators
We went on four safaris in Botswana. Each showcasing a different region/environment. Each camp was excellent;, food, vehicles, accommodations, and guides. They were excellent trackers, and worked very hard to meet all of your needs. No complaints, exceeded our expectations.

Really amazing, we got to see so many animals and Dennis was a very knowledgeable guide
- saw a lot of amazing animals, including lions, elephants, rhinos and cheetahs, and we got really close to some of them too
- our guide, Dennis, was really good at sharing interesting facts about the wildlife
- accommodation was great, I stayed at Lenchada tourist camp and it was very cosy and characterful
- Very good value for money
- the group-joining element of it made it really fun, it was a lovely group. Just be aware that it takes a bit of time to pick everyone up from different accommodations each day, but it was worth it
