Amazing Experienc Designers
I loved the experience provided by Kili Tanzanite Safaris Limited. The elements of the experience design were wonderful in every way. We received terrific communication including a perfect training plan, the best possible service, and great value for the money. The Kili Tanzanite team were reliable in every way. The tour could not have been better. I was so pleased with my experience that I have referred five additional parties that have traveled to Tanzania and hiked and toured with Kili Tanzanite.

Hospitality Professionalism Safety
I have already done safaris in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Kenya but this was the most beautiful safari ever!
The parks of Tanzania are wonderful but I must point out the excellent organization of Suricata Safari which I chose after a selection of the various tour operators for Safaris departing from Arusha.
Our driver/guide Mandela was very capable in driving even in difficult situations and has excellent knowledge of the fauna and environment of the Parks. He also spoke excellent English and was always in contact with the staff and other guides so that we could photograph the rarest animals and the most interesting wild life situations.
The accommodations during the safari were also of an excellent standard including the tented camps. A lot of attention to food even during the game drive lunches.
A special thanks to Mister T who carried out a briefing upon our arrival, showing us and explaining the Safari methods and a second briefing upon our return to get our opinion and organize the transfer to the airport.
This also denotes the professionalism of the Suricata Safari Team.
Highly recommended!! I would say the best Safari operator for the Safari departing from Arusha!🐘🦏🐆

Professionalism, reliability, attention to the customer
This 5-day safari in the parks of Tanzania was an exceptional experience, with Mandela, our driver/guide from Suricata Safaris, who accompanied us, very professional and prepared, the accommodation in the camps for the night was excellent and a very welcome upgrade in their hotel Suricata Boma Safaris on Lake Manyara. During the game drive, we also managed to see rare animals as our driver Mandela was always in contact with other guides inside the park. The food during the Safari and in the accommodations along the route was excellent. Thanks also to Mister T for the initial briefing where he explained the Safari program to us and the final briefing where he asked for our opinions and organized the transfers at the airport. EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Produced an incredible safari experience
We had an amazing trip to Camp Moremi in Botswana. The accommodations, food, and tours were all incredible. It was an expensive trip, but overall I found it very worth while. The only downside was the tour company forcing us to use random messaging apps and their own app, which seemed completely unnecessary.

My honest review of a Safari trip with the Serengeti African Tours operator
In February 2024 together with my wife and my adult granddaughter we took a Safari trip to Tanzania National Parks. This trip was promised to my granddaughter long ago, but I had no time to fulfill my promise. I am very meticulous about details when I travel, thus I started to read internet to see what people write about their experience. Among others, I found a few good reviews of the company by the name Safari African Tours. In principle I do not fully trust many of the reviews published on Internet but decided to try.
Now after the tour is over, I must say that not only all these excellent reviews of the Safari African Tours are true, but in my many years of business and personal travels I never experienced such a perfect service as provided by the Safari African Tours and personally by its owner and manager Mr. Lucas David!
First of all, Lucas was always available to answer your question and to give some advice. Before the trip I called him through WhatsApp many times and e-mailed him multiple times to receive an answer within 24 hours. Lucas offered many options for the future travel both regarding the price and the schedule. Important, he was never pushy to choose a higher price but let you decide based on your budget. Since both me and my wife are not young, I chose a relatively expensive (at least for my wallet ) private travel for our group of three to visit four National parks including Serenegeti an Ngoro-Ngoro and having a day hiking trip to Kilimanjaro . Now I must say that our travel was worth of every dollar I spent on it. Importantly, Lucas was attentive and responsive not only before the start of the travel, but also after I paid for it on the first day of the travel. Moreover, after our travel was over, we decided spent an extra day in Moshi and Lucas provided us for this day a complimentary hiking to the Materuni waterfalls and visit to te coffee makers that was one of the jewels of the entire trip.
Lucas solved immediately all the smallest problems during the tour that inevitably arise in a 11-day travel making your journey smooth and perfect. Also, it seems that Lucas managed to hire highly professional guides. Our main driver-guide Abu was more than excellent. He was knowledgeable on animals and on Tanzania in general. Although, according to him, he was on Safari more than a thousand times, he was as enthusiastic as us tracing various animals and driving us to where they can be spotted. As the result we have seen all the main animals. Thank you, Abu! Several other Lucas’ staff we met, in particular two drivers by the same name Kelvin were very friendly and helpful, especially one who accompanied us to the Materuni waterfalls!
As a scientist who wrote hundreds of reviews of the works of my colleagues, I know that for fairness one must add a couple of critical notes to improve the future work. But in the case of Lucas’ the Safari African Tours I do not have any critical remarks. I wish he will remain to be as perfect for the future travelers as he was for us.
