5D Private Safari Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeti
Stephen (Fondness Vacations) did an outstanding job planning our family safari 5D in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central and North Serengeti, pick up from Kilimanjaro Airport upon arrival, organizing our flight out from N Serengeti to Zanzibar resort, paying a great attention to details, comfort, understanding and meeting our needs, a big care - such as a clean and nice smelling jeep every morning, snacks and drinks always ready in the jeep, noticing my husband’s birthday and organizing a surprise before even me asking about it, lovely unforgettable stays in quality lodges and camps with some of them being surrounded by wild animal sounds at night and early morning (surreal!), beautiful safari picnics - just a few among many benefits and bonuses to mention. Always responsive to every my email or text. During the 2nd week of July we saw big 5 (in three parks combined, not one), many other animals and birds, spitting cobra, Mara River crossing (no crocodiles hunting, though). Sadly, no active predator hunting we saw, even though I asked the driver several times that we want to see it, but just we saw predators eating the meat after the hunt - I guess because we did not insist the driver to leave the camps in Serengeti around 6am, but agreed with his suggested leaving at 8:30 am that was too late for the predator behavior. Probably, you have to ask in advance for an experienced in Central and North Serengeti animal behavior guide/driver with 10-15+ years of experience, and give proactive insisting requests to the driver about your needs. Apart from this , everything was excellent with the Fondness Vacations , I will highly recommend it to everyone and we will surely use it for our next trip, just with some tweaks that we learned from our mistakes (described above). Big thanks to Stephen!

Reliable and precise
We went for a 10 days Safari with Topi Tour. Jackson, the owner that we communicated with before the commencement of the tour, was very helpful. He is responsive and accomodative. He greeted us at the hotel the evening we arrived and went through with us the itinerary in detail. Our guide Ben is fantastic. Our original itinerary includes 2 nights at North Serengeti for the migrations, Ben was able to recommend to change to 1 night as it was too early for the migration. Ben is knowledgeable and provide us with lots of information and behaviour of the animals which made the trip very interesting. The accommodation exceeded our expectation. The food was good. Besides all these, Ben is very professional, kind, friendly and a thinker. We would definitely recommend Topi Tour.
They also have a guide, Ibrahim, speaking Italian.

Amazing safari experience!
We had a really nice experience during the whole safari! Accommodations were all amazing, our guide Melita was very knowledgeable and we saw so many different animals. Definitely would reccommend booking with Suricata safaris!

Friendly, reliable, and dedicated to delivering an incredible safari experience.
We chose the mid range group 4 day safari for our honeymoon. It was definitely value for money as we received fresh food everyday and the accommodations we stayed at were pretty good! Especially the Suricata boma lodge and the bush camps they were amazing. Our tour guide, Melita, was super friendly and was dedicated to show us the big 5. In the 4 days we managed to see every single animal on the list and it was truly a life changing experience. Thanks to him he made our trip worthwhile ! Everything is on time and runs very smoothly. I would definitely choose Suricata safaris for my next visit

Very interesting and informative
We had a fantastic half-day tour with Carson in Soweto. He very clearly explained so many aspects of the township, and the history of the Soweto uprising. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Johannesburg.

Breath Taking
If you’re looking for a guide who will turn a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip into something even bigger, you need Vincent. He worked tirelessly from the moment we landed to the moment we left, making sure our honeymoon was nothing short of unforgettable.
From the Serengeti’s endless golden plains to the lush beauty of Lake Manyara, from the dramatic sweep of the Ngorongoro Crater to every mile of Tanzania in between, Vincent made each day feel like its own story. We saw the Big Five, witnessed the Great Migration thundering across the river, and stood in front of scenery so mesmerising it almost didn’t feel real.
But what made it truly special was Vincent himself — his knowledge, his patience, his instinct for where to be and when, and the way he genuinely cared about creating memories we’d carry for the rest of our lives. Every sunrise felt like a gift, every sighting felt personal, and every moment felt looked after.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better person to share such an incredible experience with. Vincent, thank you for giving us a honeymoon we’ll talk about forever. I hope you cherish your Newcastle United top to remember us. Keep in touch Vincent, sending our love.
Asante - Lewis and Eleanor.

Deo is an enthusiastic guide with plenty of experience and knowledge and answers every question!
Overall loved travelling with this company, service was great everything was on time. Super flexible with our group, if we didn’t like anything, it was always possible to go around or figure out another way. It is quite expensive, but there’s definitely reasons why that is, especially later on in the trip.

Amazing tour
Our family booked an 8-day, 7-night wildlife safari, and it was truly a magical journey. Every experience on this trip has become a cherished memory that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
Our driver and guide, DEO, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped to see, making this safari even more unforgettable.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to DEO for his outstanding service and dedication. Thank you for giving our family such an amazing and once-in-a-lifetime experience!
