Wonderfully informative and fun!
I went on the Moafrika Pilanesberg tour and happened to get a very hot day, meaning that the big cats and other animals were hiding. Despite this, our guide did such a good job finding interesting things to tell and show us, and was in a great mood and approachable.
All the other staff was great and very friendly.

Amazing Trip with a wonderful Safari Guide and a very helpful tour company ( Motto tours)
Thank you again for all your help and assistance in arranging our family trip to Kenya. It was an amazing trip, and my husband relived his childhood memories. All your recommendations on where to stay were spot on, and also, the guidance in building the safari week was much appreciated, followed by a lovely relaxing week on the lake. Your quick response to my many questions was second to none.
our Safari Guide, was outstanding. A lovely, humble man who was so informative and helped us search out all the wildlife and more. He is a credit to your company, and we would most certainly recommend him to other guests looking for a wonderful safari guide.
Thank you once again for everything. It was a holiday of once in a lifetime!

Fantastic safari
Our guide Rocky (unsure about spelling) was absolutely incredible, it was really noticeable that he knew all the places one might want to see, both in the parks and during the journeys in between. We saw 4/5 of the big 5, including a large number of lions right next to our van and a rhinoceros at relatively close range (about 100m). All accommodations were of high quality (we had the lodge option), especially Suricata Boma Lodge but all accommodations were very good. Suricata's own chef Mouza (?) cooked very tasty lunches every day. Highly recommend!

Jimmy is an excellent guide however Jocky tours themselves were sometimes tricky to work with.
I'll first start by saying that our guide, Jimmy was absolutely excellent throughout the whole trip and went above and beyond to make everything memorable for us!
Initially upon booking, email responses were fast but a bit short. Sometimes I'd send an email with a few important questions and only receive answers for one. We were told we could either pay the $2600 dollar fee by cash in USD (not really comfortable carrying that much cash with me), pay by card and incur a 3.5% fee for "processing", or make a bank transfer and pay an extra $20 to cover bank charges. I chose the latter. Upon arriving in the office, we were told that wasn't an option and repeatedly had a card terminal thrust at us. He said the 3.5% covered bank charges but he could make it 3%, then 2%... (Dodgy). Finally he dropped the fee and we paid the $2600 by card with no fee - I'm still not certain whether this fee is genuine.
We were asked to take 3 guests with us on the 6hr drive to Masai mara. We agreed but feel like many others would prefer not to - having paid a lot more for a private tour - it is difficult to say no when put on the spot like that.
The tour itself was great - Masai mara was excellent and saw so many animals close up thanks to our guide Jimmy. He was one of the highlights of our trip - kind, knowledgeable and skilled at driving off-road. Where many others got stuck, Jimmy didn't. Lenchada tented camp was great - basic but that is what we bought. Hot showers and nice beds. Good food with vegetarian options.
Nakura accommodation was great. Good food and pool. Next morning was Nakura lake game drive which was a highlight - black rhinos and lions and much more. Naivasha lake was also cool with a boat ride to see hippos and other animals on the shore.
Hells gate national park was excellent where we rented bikes and cycled among zebras and gazelles to the canyon. Factor in an extra $20 per person for bike rental and a guide for this.
The long drive to amboseli was next but unfortunately Jocky tours had neglected to book our guide a room leading to him having to find accommodation some distance away from us. This meant the next days pre-morning game drive was delayed till nearly 10am and by then Kilimanjaro was covered in cloud. A bit annoying but I must stress this was not the fault of our guide.
Overall a great trip and amazing memories made, could have been a bit better on the organisation side by Jocky.

Best safari trip with the best guides
My boyfriend and I did the three day safari and slept at the campsite in tent. It was an incredibly cool trip and i would always choose Suricata Safaris again. Our driver was Rocky and our cook was Musa. Rocky is the best guide, he explained so much to us about the animals and the national parks. And because of him, we saw so many animals. Musa was such a nice guy and his dishes tasted amazing! I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. They were also always with us at the campsite at night. Thanks again to Musa and Rocky and Suricata Safaris!

An unforgettable journey
Everything was perfect! Rocky was our guide. He made sure we had an unforgettable trip. Musa cooked for us and also accompanied us on the adventure. The food was excellent. Rocky and Musa were simply amazing. I am very grateful that they were a part of our adventure. There was not a single problem and everything was perfectly planned and organized. I can only recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone.
