Simply Brilliant
This experience simply blew us away! We chose a 6day/5 night - Tarangire, North and Central Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater - safari based on reviews, price and the responsiveness of Jessica, who was excellent in tailoring the safari to our needs. This is a small operator (we learned later) and it shows in the personal touch.
In the scheme of things this was lower to mid range, price wise, but the standard of accommodation exceeded our expectation: 2 nights in lodges, 3 in tented lodges, all really luxurious with excellent food and wonderful staff.
Our guide, Gama, was excellent, a really interesting guy with a great depth of knowledge on the all aspects of the parks, flora, fauna and geology, with near perfect English. He was superb at spotting animals, and well connected by radio; we would suddenly vere down a backtrack in order to see a pride of lions dining on a buffalo, Cheetahs hiding in on the grass, the best view of the great migration, even a pair of Leopards - the rarest spot - resting in a tree.
The varied landscapes, wonderful hospitality, shear volume and variety of animals and the fabulous guide made this a truly unforgettable experience.

Good but added last minute fuel surcharge
Great choice of company overall with knowledgeable guides and helping to tailor the package to suit our budget and places to visit, however the downfall was that they asked for an additional 4% fuel surcharge 3 weeks before we were due to fly out, even though we had already paid the full amount 5 months prior. When I questioned it their response was its because of the recent war price increase, but no other companies were doing this, just this company even though they already are the largest safari provider in the country! When asked for a further breakdown for the charge, they weren't able to provide this, only gave a few numbers against fuel for cars, plane etc, nothing in depth to justify the charge. The original quote already includes the daily fuel charges for your trip. There was no memtion anywhere during the course of planning, booking and paying about this possible extra charge, they hit you right at the end knowing you can't cancel the trip at this late stage and will pay! We already paid in full which was quoted in USD, then another 4% charge of total trip amount, converting to AUD$ is a lot money for us!
Because of this i won't be choosing them again

A professional and safe driver who will get you to where you need to go but also accommodative!
Sam and Yusef are some of the best drivers that I have ever worked with! They are so kind, professional, and VERY safe! Not only do they try to accommodate all of the asks we had, but they did it with a smile! Also, need some good tunes on your drive? They are on it!

Excellent Guide and Unforgettable Experience.
Me and my family had the most amazing 6 day safari with LeKobe adventures.
Firstly we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Gama. He was so friendly and funny and we had amazing conversations throughout. Nothing was too much and he would do anything to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. He was incredibly knowledgable and knew so much about every single animal. Aswell as this he had a great eye for spotting the animals and had good contacts with other guides allowing us to see other peoples sightings aswell. This ultimately led to us spotting the Big 5 and so much more.
LeKobe selected amazing lodges for us to stay at with all of them being clean, welcoming and having absolutely delicious local food. All the staff at the lodges were absolutely lovely and so accommodating.
The booking process was also so smooth and was assisted by Jessica who was so communicative and we were able to customise our tour to our needs. This included us taking up the option of visiting a Masai village which was awesome.

An absolute dream come true with Jeremy.
Booking our Tanzanian safari with Suricata Safaris was the best choice we could have made. Everything felt seamless, but the real highlight of our journey was our incredible guide, Jeremy.
From the very first morning game drive, Jeremy’s expertise and sharp instincts stood out. He didn’t just drive us around; he explained the intricate behaviors of the animals, tracked wildlife movements effortlessly, and made sure we got phenomenal photo opportunities without disturbing nature. His passion for conservation and local wildlife made every moment engaging.
The safari vehicle was exceptionally comfortable, the lodge selections exceeded our expectations, and the overall coordination by the team was flawless.
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania and want an unforgettable experience, definitely book with Suricata Safaris—and ask for Jeremy if you want the best guide on the plains.

Raymond Rocks
10/10 value for money. Our guide Raymond was clearly the best. He consistently positioned us for the best photographs. He drove quickly and efficiently, cutting down the commute time in between parks.
