Amazing Safari Experience with Dickson!
We had an incredible safari experience with Dickson as our driver and guide. Dickson drove us to four different national parks, often driving for long hours each day. He was always accommodating, stopping whenever we asked and answering all our questions with great patience. On the third day, we were lucky enough to see the Big 5, thanks to Dickson’s expertise. I highly recommend Dickson as a safari guide. He made our trip unforgettable!

Excellent Service
We booked a 9 night lodge safari from Victoria Falls to the Okavango delta. We had a fantastic time and saw lots of amazing wildlife and landscapes. Sekanka Safaris provided excellent service from the first enquiry until we got on our flight home. The lodges were of good quality, the safari experiences were brilliant and our driver Mombati was super helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Sekanka Safaris to our friends and family.

Best safari ever with the best tour guide ever: Dixon
Our recent 5-day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was unforgettable, thanks to our incredible guide, Dixon. His deep knowledge of the area, engaging descriptions, insightful commentary, and fun facts made our trip educational and entertaining. We were particularly excited to spot a leopard in Lake Nakuru and to watch a cheetah close in Masai Mara.
Throughout our journey, Dixon was more than just a guide; he was a friend. His warm personality and genuine care for our experience made us feel well taken care of, ensuring every aspect of our trip was smooth and enjoyable. Whether sharing fascinating facts, helping with gear, or ensuring our comfort, Dixon went above and beyond. Our safari was extraordinary, made even better by Dixon's outstanding guidance. Thank you, Dixon, for making our journey truly special!

Professional, top notch, and kind!
I chose Suricata based on the reviews from other travelers - and I am SO GLAD I did!
Pre-trip:
*communication was prompt and professional - I had many questions & they were very responsive and kind throughout the booking process.
During trip:
*after arriving at the joining point the night before, we met with Chuke for a briefing. Great way to start the trip!
*Our guide Damian picked us up on time at the hotel, and right away, we knew we were in good hands. He was energetic and informative and seemed to genuinely care about each member of the “team” as he called us.
*Although Damian cautioned us about the rarity of seeing some hard-to-find animals (leopard, rhino), he got us to see all Big 5 and so much more during our safari! He knows those parks like the back of his hand!
*I appreciate how Damian always kept us informed about travel times and our itinerary.
*Damian is an excellent driver. When our 4x4’s tire fell off (because those park roads are ROUGH!), Damian and the other guides quickly came to the rescue and we were back on schedule right away.
*Now let’s talk about the food. Oh, the FOOD! Salim was an extraordinary chef - each meal was fantastic! He even set the table so nicely each time - whether at the camp or on the road - and I appreciate all the little details that went into feeding us. Salim by HIMSELF is enough of a reason to go with Suricata.
*the tents and sleeping bags are very basic but sufficient. (We brought liner sheets and were glad we did.) The camp locations were TERRIFIC - how wonderful to sleep under the African stars! If you want lodges, go with lodges. For us, camping was a wonderful adventure!
*all the restrooms where we stopped were surprisingly very clean and well maintained! Bring your own toilet paper.
*Ngorongoro Crater/Rim is COLD! We were there in mid-July, but the early morning and late night temps were frigid!
Post-trip:
*our post-safari transfer plans changed at the last minute, and Suricata was wonderfully accommodating in helping to make sure we had a smooth transition to the next part of our vacation.
*Chuke came back for post-trip briefing and welcomed our feedback about Damian, Salim, and the trip in general.
10/10! I would (and will!) recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an extraordinary and professional safari experience!

Amazing memories
It was my first safari, and I didin't know how to book, and what do to.
I can just tell thanks you to the owner, and the guide for all what they did for us. All the places we visited were great. Serengeti National Park and N'gorongoro are wonderful.
The guide managed to find the Big 5 for us several times. We realize that they know where to look to find. We were even able to witness a lion hunt!
The accommodation was of very good quality. We were even able to sleep in tents with zebras roaming around.
Thanks again to their team for the organization, and I really recommend this agency ++++

I recommend this tour with MoAfrica
Nice day in Pilanesberg. Safe because they pick up and drop off at the hotel. After you have only to follow your driver. I did the safari with Petrus, who explains us life of animals and did his best to find the lions. It was a nice experience. The team of MoAfrica is serious.

very good
We did a 3 day hike to Kilimanjaro as well as 2 day safari. Will, our tour operator, was available at all times solving any inconveniences we encountered. This was important as drivers not always knew to what accommodation take us.
Thank you for your attentiveness!
Food was very good, transportation was punctual and operators were really welcoming.
I would totally recommend it.

I dealt with Charity from Super Eagles Travel and Tours and she was excellent!
I took the 10 day Kenya and Tanzania safari. We had 6 days in Kenya and 4 days in Tanzania. I took the budget tour bec I want to experience staying in a tent.
Before I start let me give you some tips. You don’t need visa in Kenya but you need ETA which you can apply on line. In Tanzania you needs visa so if you have time go apply on line otherwise you can apply in the border. If you golf wa European passport it only cost $50 but if you have American passport it cost $100. If is best that you bring Kenyan shillings and Tanzanian shillings.Go see your doctor so that you can have all the necessary shots you needed. The very important one is the yellow fever shot. You need that yellow card when you enter Tanzania. Take Vit B as it helps as mosquito repellent too! Bring mosquito repellent as well it’s better to well prepared. It gets cold in Tanzania esp on your last night as you will be sleeping in a real tent with just a sleeping bag! Bring a beanie. Gloves and or hand warmers. I also brought with me a solar lamp , disposable hand towels and towels which you can buy from Amazon . There’s no towels provided on your last day so if you plan to shower you need to bring your own towel. I was glad I brought those disposable hand towels. It looks like tables that you put a few drops of water and it transforms into a hand towel. It’s very dusty during the safari and out really made my face feel itchy so wiping it with that wet towel helped a lot! Bring sunscreen! I also brought my water heater and some 3 in 1 coffee and tea bags and make my own cup of tea at night. Hot beverage are only available during breakfast and dinner and if you are like me who loves to drink coffee and tea in the middle of the night then this takes care of the problem. I denied picking up sea shells in Tanzania but unfortunately it got confiscated in the airport even though I out it in my check in luggage. So save yourself the trouble and don’t pick and bring home the shells! If you buy souvenirs in the Masai village it’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg. They will tell you that the money will be used by the village! A brass bracelet cost me $30 and later on I was in the souvenir shop in Kilimanjaro airport and that same bracelet only cost $8! If you buy it outside the village like while we were in Arusha it only cost $5! If money is not an object then go and buy in the Masai village otherwise buy it somewhere else. Don’t forget to bring even a small binocular.
The accommodation in Kenya was beyond my expectations! It was a tent but it has bed with mosquito net, big shower with hot water!, a sink and toilet! Bed was comfortable. Just a tip if your traveling solo when you go to your accommodation they might put you together with other people but you need to put your feet down and tell them that you were told that you will not share with other people or use the excuse that you snore🤣 and would not be fair for the person sharing your room! That should do the trick but if they still insist just call Charity and she’ll take care of it! Food was average… cooked same wherever you are. I tried buying some Pringle in the store as well and some cookies and for some reason it tasted different. So if you like snacks of chips and cookies I suggest bring done from your country if you luggage will allow it. Our driver was Moises and he is very knowledgeable and can spot animals from afar even while driving. The only thing we didn’t like was that when we were there during the protest we suggested for him to make sure that we’re have a full tank but he kept going and end up running out of gas in the middle of nowhere and the most of the gas stations were shut down. I did appreciate that he managed to find another way of getting the gas by paying people to get the gas and deliver it to us but that could have been avoided and saved as some time and anxiety.
