Kate is amazing.
Kate arranged a fully Kosher 12 day safari including 2 full days fishing in Murchison Falls. We traveled with a new set of pots dishes and cutlery and in every lodge the chef cooked a kosher meal for us. It was all arranged in advance and it worked beyond our expectations. Kate called us many times before the trip to help plan all the little details and when we told her that we wanted to eat local dishes she invited us to her home for the first night dinner. Shafic our driver guide is incredibly knowlegable in all fields and lucky for us is an experienced birder which is one of our hobbies. Many times he stopped on the highway to see a bird on a pole or wire. He is a great driver and now I would call him a good friend.

Awesome experience!! Benson is knowledgeable and truly care about the nature
My husband and I had a fantastic time!! Everything was perfect. Benson was an excellent guide, super reliable, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. He’s passionate about his job, Kenya, wildlife, and I absolutely love him for that! He was also very flexible on the schedule before and during the trip, and always communicated with us and asked for our preferences. You really can feel they put lots of efforts to make sure we have a great time. We went to Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masaai Mara - great itinerary and we saw every animal we could possibly think of! Benson was very good at getting us to the best spots to observe the animals as well. If you’re still thinking about it, go with Benson and you won’t regret it!

Five unforgettable days with Suricata
We visited Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater in 5 days safari tour.
COMMUNICATION: First of all we had booked the tour 6 days before it started and anyway they were able to arrange us the tour we wanted on the day we asked. Organization was on the high level, our coordinator Hilary was always available on WhatsApp to answer any our question, all transfers were on time, all accommodations booked and any additional request satisfied.
GUIDE: Rocky!! This is a name of our guide, we are so lucky we had him! Rocky knows the answer for any question about animals, parks and culture in Tanzania. He has a talent on spotting animals and was really willing to show us all of them. On our safari we saw a huge amount of animals and also animals difficult to find, such as leopards, chitas and even wild cats! Rocky is a great driver, very helpful and funny.
We will definitely miss him!
FOOD: We had a fantastic chef Ben , who was preparing us lunches. Food was very delicious and varied every day, in the group of six persons we had three vegetarians and all of us enjoyed our meals.
ACCOMMODATIONS: We booked lodges and are very happy with our experience. All of them were comfortable, clean and with a very friendly stuff.
Sleeping in the heart of savanna is unforgettable!
Thank you all Suricata team for organizing this fantastic and unique experience. You and Tanzanian people made me felt in love with this beautiful country.
Asante Sana!

Incredible Safari Experience!
We came to Tanzania for our honeymoon and it has not disappointed!
We reached out to many different tour companies and right away Lion King stood out due to their quick responsiveness and willingness to work with us. Pendo was AMAZING with answering all of our questions (no matter how small) very quickly to make us feel very comfortable with preparing for our first ever safari. Pendo also worked very closely with us to help change some of our schedule and accommodations to be exactly what we were looking for with a honeymoon within our budget.
Our Safari guide, Immanuel, was fantastic! He was unbelievably professional and knowledgeable about the parks and animals. He was very kind and patient with us as well as flexible with schedules if we wanted to start earlier in the morning or stay later in the parks. We made a great team and had a lot of fun together as he could spot many of the animals quite easily to help point them out for us. He also would make sure the truck was positioned perfectly for us to get the best view and be as close as possible. Immanuel would constantly ask us about his position to make sure we liked the location to get the perfect shot for our photo.
In addition to the safari itself, we also want to mention how hard Immanuel worked to make sure we had a comfortable experience. Every morning the truck was freshly cleaned, with our favorite drinks fully stocked and ready for us in our cup holders. There were also extra cushions on the seats as well as multiple outlets for charging. The food was also delicious as Immanuel made sure we had a freshly cooked meal for lunch and also made sure if we had special requests the kitchen knew what those were. Many other companies looked jealous of our delicious meals.
We definitely would recommend Lion King to others and can’t wait to come back again someday!

Fun, Professional, Great Service
We loved our 7-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris and Khaled (guide). ABCS did a great job of planning a wonderful itinerary. Accommodations and service was good everywhere – Ngorngoro Tortilis Camp was especially wonderful. We enjoyed the flexibility of starting and ending the days as desired. Felt like all of our questions were answered on safari. The communication before (and after) was excellent. Special thanks to Justice Justine, who we corresponded with leading up the trip, and Emanuel for crafting a wonderful experience. Thanks to this team for also reuniting us with our luggage, which the airline had lost for several days!

Excellent start to finish
My girlfriend and I had the most wonderful experience with Suricata Safaris this past week.
From the clear communication prior to arrival and pick up from the airport when we landed, we instantly felt like we had made the right choice for safari.
Spending 5 days with our tour guide, Rocky was an absolute joy, his in-depth knowledge and experience, of the local fauna and flora and local culture made every day exciting.
The food was delicious and accommodation very comfortable for a good night sleep.
The tour exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend

Just great!
The service offered by Explorer Kenia was delightfull. Comunication with Ibrahim was easy and clear, and he even helped us with some problems with the local flight, even though the reservation was made by ourselves.
Once here, eveything was better than expected.
SimonPeter picked us up at the airport and during the way to Masai Mara explained múltiple things about the history and customs of the country.
Once in the park we coudn't ask for more. SimonPeter has a smooth drive in these bumpy roads and an amazing hability to move around the park. He did his best so we could not only see every animal but also especial moments and find the best place for the perfect picture, and lots of patience until se managed to get them.
All of this with followed by a very enriching explanation of every animal, plant and geographical point we met. Thank you so much, you made us really happy!
The camp is in a beautiful location, just next to the Talek Door. Food is delicious even when they prepare packed lunch for the safari. The staff is always helpful and making sure you get the most of the full experience.
For sure, we are taking back home, life lasting memories, just as you promised before the adventure started.

They take care of everything
We just got back from an amazing experience in the parks of Tanzania and the beaches of Zanzibar. African Miles arranged it all, including our excellent guides and lodging. We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti and saw amazing wildlife and nature. Our guide, Justin made sure we saw it all and made the trip seamless. We stayed at some amazing lodges and the food and entertainment was wonderful. In Zanzibar, our guide Ali helped arrange a tour of a spice farm (with a cooking lesson) and a tour of Stone Town before we headed home. I would definitely recommend African Miles, who can put together an amazing African experience.
