Jeremy was excellent.
Before the trip, we had heard a lot about Ngorongoro, but going to the crater was a different experience. The elephants and baobabs in Tarangire, which had a very different landscape, were the highlights of our three-day safari with Suricata Safaris. Ngorongoro was a completely different experience because of the large crater basin, open grazing areas, water, and forest that provided habitats for a variety of animals. As we observed the wildlife, we didn't feel rushed. Jeremy was excellent the entire time—calm, friendly, and very knowledgeable about both parks.

Five stars entirely for Bakari—the best guide in Tanzania!
Bakari is the best guide in Tanzania! With 16 years of guiding experience, he is incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and caring. Everything was well planned, he was always punctual, and he kept every promise. We felt completely at ease in his hands.
We visited in early October, outside the peak migration season, yet Bakari helped us witness three wildebeest river crossings in a single day—an unforgettable experience! His driving skills are excellent. Even on days when he drove for 10–11 hours, he never complained and always remained patient and attentive. He even helped us take photos along the way.
What makes Bakari truly special is his warmth. He looked after us like family, and traveling with him felt like having a kind, dependable uncle by our side.
However, our experience with their partner guide from Mufasa in Kenya was very disappointing. We found that guide extremely unreliable, and this resulted in our planned two-day Amboseli itinerary being reduced to just one day of safari. To be absolutely clear, my five-star rating is 100% for Bakari and the outstanding experience he gave us in Tanzania.
I will definitely return to Tanzania, and when I do, I will choose Bakari again. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

The best
I had an incredible safari experience in Kenya, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Castro! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. He made the entire experience unforgettable.
Castro went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari experience. He was patient, answered all our questions, and made every moment enjoyable. His knowledge of the animals and the surrounding environment was impressive, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Castro was also a great person to spend time with. He was easygoing, funny, and made the whole adventure even more memorable.

A Seamless Safari Experience from Start to Finish
We had a safari tour in Amboseli, and overall, we were very satisfied with the experience.
First of all, we were in contact with Silas from Rocktrek regarding the booking and schedule. He was always polite and clear in his communication, which made the whole process very comfortable from the beginning.
We especially appreciated how much he helped with our border crossing from Kenya to Tanzania. We initially thought we would simply be dropped off at the border, but he went beyond that and helped make sure we were properly handed over to the local taxi driver. He had already contacted the taxi driver in advance and took care of the process, so we were able to cross the border without worrying about the transportation afterward.
Our guide, Linus, was also very kind and professional. He was a good and safe driver, and he knew a lot about the animals, so he gave us many interesting explanations during the safari. He was also punctual and always tried his best to show us as many animals as possible.
We especially appreciated that he waited for us while we completed the exit and entry procedures at the border and made sure we were safely handed over to the taxi driver afterward. We were really touched by how carefully he took care of us until the very end.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the entire experience, from the booking process to the safari and the border transfer. Thank you for making our trip such a good experience!

Great service and excellent value for money
Elephant Herd Tours was arranged through our BnB hosts and we couldn't compliment them enough on their choice. We were picked up at our accommodation early morning and the experience was everything we expected and more. Our goal was to see a leopard and this happened in the first hour. The guide was great providing good information.
We really enjoyed the day.
