Incredible Experience
We booked a 5-day group safari package. It was a unique experience; our guide was extremely polite and attentive, and he would identify the animals as we passed by. The staff at the various accommodations were generally very thoughtful. I found the seasoning of the food a bit challenging for the first two days, but at the subsequent places we stayed, the food was less heavily seasoned, which made it easier for me to eat. We saw all of the "Big Five"—more than once, in fact. The experience was well worth it.

Very proffessional
We had a great experience with Suricata Safari! They arranged everything for us, including the pick up and drip off at the airport and hotel in Arusha, as well.
The safari itself was a mindblowing experience. We saw tons of animals, including the Big 5, thank to our guide, Elias. The accommodations were great and the food was very delicious (even for us as vegetarians). I can absolutely recommend Suricata☺️

10/10 Safari Experience with Altezza
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Altezza Travel! Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. A special thank you to Alina, our coordinator, who was incredibly responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process. Our guide, Carlos, was truly outstanding! His knowledge, passion, and ability to spot wildlife were unbelievable. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the wildlife we had hoped for and so much more, including some truly unforgettable moments. He went above and beyond to make every game drive special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better team. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Altezza enough — and definitely ask for Carlos!

An Unforgettable, Ethical Private Safari Experience with a True Professional!
My wife and I recently completed a 5-day private safari with James Muchina from Wildportraits Safaris, and it was exceptional from start to finish. Having the founder of the company as our personal guide made a massive difference. James's knowledge of wildlife behavior, expert navigation, and dedication to getting us the best vantage points made every game drive a highlight.
What we appreciated most was his deep respect for wildlife and commitment to an ethical safari; he always prioritized the well-being of the animals and ensured our tracks were respectful of the environment. Furthermore, as a professional photographer, James went completely above and beyond by lending us a camera body and telephoto lens for the entire trip, which completely transformed our safari photos. If you are looking for a highly personalized, seamless, and mindful wildlife experience in Kenya, look no further than James and Wild Portraits Safaris. Highly recommended!

Just unforgettable!!!
We returned from a fantastic safari with Revelation African safaris, just a few days ago. We decide on the 5 day (4 nights) trip to the Northern parks, as were extremely keen to see the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. I had emailed a few safari companies recommended on Tripadvisor, however, a lot of them did not respond (which apparently is quite common!) but decided to go with Revelation african safaris as Melvin was so helpful and extremely efficient with getting back to me and answering my hundreds of questions!
Before we started our safari, we spent 3 days in Zanzibar, Melvin organized return flights for us from Zanzibar to Arusha as part of our trip. Upon arrival at Arusha airport, we were met by the lovely Bernard, our driver and guide for our trip. We then made our way to the Arusha Coffee Lodge, where we were met by Melvin to go through our itinerary and answer any further questions, we had. The Coffee shop is beautiful and is part of a very nice but expensive Elewana Collection. We ended up having the buffet lunch in the hotel garden, which is priced at $30pp but totally worth it.
After lunch, we headed onto the road for our first stop; Tarangire National Park. I had read reviews on Tarangire and had heard that is it a bit of a hidden gem, which a lot of tourists miss out! Within a couple of miles of entering the park, we were greeted by Zebras, later on we even discovered a pack of lions, a heard of elephants and giraffes. Tarangire National Park, actually turned out to be one of our favourite National Parks, maybe because it was the first park but I also because there are much less tourists there. That evening we stayed at the Ngare Lodge, which was nice although I think was fully occupied so extremely busy. The food was also quite basic, but sufficient after an exciting day in Tarangire.
The next day we headed off early to the Serengeti National Park. The drive to the Serengeti from Tarangire is long and extremely bumpy. The Serengeti is the most beautiful place I have ever had the pleasure of visiting and we were lucky enough to again see a lot of the big 5, in fact, I think the only animal we didn't see on the whole trip was a Cheetah! That evening we stayed at the Serengeti Serena Lodge, which is beautiful and our favourite hotel of the trip. The sunsets from the hotel bar/lounge are out of this world!
At 4am the next morning, we were up and on our way for our hot air balloon experience. This is an expensive extra ($500 pp) but I would highly recommend this. The views from the balloon are obviously outstanding, and the fact that you get to see the sunrise across the Serenegeti plains is just beautiful. Again, we were lucky enough to see a lot of animals - Hippos, lions, Gazelle, Zebras, Eagles, Elephants...the list goes on. The balloon ride is approximately an hour (wind dependent) and we were in a basket with 14 other people. There was 2 balloons in the sky at the same time. Once the balloon lands, you then have a champagne toast and head off for a champagne, English breakfast. The breakfast is simple but adequate.
After breakfast, you are dropped by the balloon trip organisers, to the visitors centre, where you are greeted by your guide and continue with your days game drive..
After our final day in the Serengeti, we headed to Ngorongoro Crater, which is home to two beautiful lakes, one salt water and the other fresh water. It is also home to Flamingos! There is a beautiful picnic spot, that Revelation african safaris take you to, which is right next to the fresh water lake, where you can see Hippos. That evening we stayed at Ngorongoro wild camp, which was again beautiful.
For the final day of our safari, we headed to Lake Manyar National Park, small but nonetheless stunning.
Overall, we had an incredible time with Revelation African safaris Melvin is extremely helpful and accommodating and really does go out of his way to make your trip fantastic. Our guide and driver Bernard was a lovely, with fantastic knowledge of the animals and birds!
We definitely have the safari bug and will hopefully undertake another trip with Melvin and Revelation african safaris in the not to near future.
Keep up the good work Melvin and the team!
