Perfect organisation, wonderful guide
We booked a ten days trip through Ugandas National Parks such as Murchison Falls, Kabale und Queen Elizabeth. Pearl Afric Tours & Travel offers highly professional services: from proposing us the best options over the handling of the payment to keeping us informed all the time. In the field everything has worked out perfectly – all the lodges were superb and we spotted more animals that we could have imagined.
The guide we had - David Ategeka - was simply great. He told us a thousand interesting things about the country, it’s nature and it’s people. David is an excellent and very prudent driver and he made our trip in Uganda to a unique experience. We can only recommend Pearl Afric Tours & Travel to anyone else.

Best experience ever!
The service that SafariLife gave us, was excellent. Incredibly knowledgeable guide who went over and beyond for us. You will not find a more organized and helpful safari team, who offer real value for money. A heartfelt thank you to our fantastic guide, Rochelle. The safari was perfect from the beginning to the end. We enjoyed every moment!

Irresponsible and chaotic
My safari was « subcontracted » out to Big Five. I was supposed to go to Tarengire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with an experienced guide-driver. The first day, we went to Lake Manyara (huh???) with a « guide driver » that didn’t know the place ( he kept going around in circles until we pointed this out, with pictures to prove it) or the animals (he tried to brush up with some borrowed notes when he thought we weren’t looking). The next day, he drive too fast, missed a bend and ended up ploughing through a ridge. While the passengers were more scared than anything else, he apparently damaged the radiator. The last part of the very long drive to a Serengeti campground was dangerous for the cook and driver, since they had to get out and refill the radiator several times. The last was in the dark, and we discovered afterwards that a mother lion and her three cubs had been very close. We arrived very late to the campground. The cook managed everything (setting up the tents, calling for another vehicle, cooking a very late meal) while the driver pretend to be busy. Big Five did not call to let us know about a replacement vehicle. I had been in contact with the people who I booked with, and they put pressure on Big Five. The next day, we had another car and driver (yaaay) and the day after yet another. The people I booked were surprised to find out that I had not gone to Tanengire. They came and got me and took me to Tanengire instead of an initially planned cultural visit.
This company is irresponsible !

Easy to communicate and provide whatever promised.
The owner Mohamed was great when I first contacted him. He brief what the tours would be and provide estimation with it. He is up all day, so whenever I contact him, he responded soon I sent the message.
The guide that we went with was Mtinangi who was very experienced and fun and also the communication in English was very good.
He showed us everything that we requested, and further show us the animals in very close spots by fighting with other guides for better spots.
Unforgettable 3 nights 4 days, and I highly recommend this company for the Safari Tour for who wants the best Safari experience.

Don't hesitate...just book your trip and you'll be so glad you did!
From beginning to end, my experience in Tanzania with African Big Cats Safaris was perfect. From The Big Five, to the Small Five, to the Ugly Five, we saw it all! Words are insufficient to describe the joy of seeing elephants, lions, and giraffes throughout the day, then hearing the sounds of zebras and hyenas through the night, then waking in the morning to see warthogs drinking from a nearby pond just yards away from my tent. Thanks to the skill and patience of our guide, Endeni, we actually witnessed a huge herd of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. Traveling with him was like learning from a zoology professor with a playful sense of humor and deeply kind spirit. The company seamlessly handled the complicated logistics of nearly three weeks of safaris, cultural experiences, lodges, tented camps, picnic lunches, and special requests (like an unplanned stop at a bustling village market to buy another tote bag for our growing collection of local art!). I traveled with two friends, but would feel completely safe making the trip alone, knowing that from arrival to departure, every detail would be handled. Tanzania will change you for the better, and the staff of African Big Cats Safaris embody the best spirit of the country.

Fantastic tour, great value for money!
We decided to book with Suricata because it was the cheapest available option for a 6 day Safari. We are extremely happy with our choice. The guide was very competent, the food was delicious and the tents were more comfortable than we had expected - especially the beds were nice! The game drives where a live changing experience! I can highly recommend this trip.
In the beginning we were a bit unsure because we only received a confirmation per Whats App, so don't worry if you expect a more official document.
Some words of advice: bring shower gel, shampoo, soap, disinfectant, toilet paper (dry and wet) and towels because those are not provided. Luckily we brought most of it, so we were fine.

Excellent customer service!! the communication was always on time and provided insightful feedback
Wilderness Horizon Safaris is a good tour operator and I will be definitely looking forward to partnering with them for my next safari adventure!! From the inception they helped my partner and I find a safari package that matched our expectation and budget!! The communication was always quick and helpful!! The service we received upon arrival to the very end was very welcoming and friendly.
The chalet was clean and provided all the services needed. Equipped with hot water, kettle and a mosquito net! It was cleaned twice per day. The food was mouth-watering and filling. The chef did an excellent job! The service staff were very courteous. Our tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable and tried his best to show us everything the park had to offer. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Easy to work with
Our safari with Lenchada was amazing and we highly recommend their services. All of our questions were answered quickly and completely when we began exploring different safari options. We were very pleased with each of our accommodations, meals, transfers and all aspects of the trip. Our driver/guide was Wilson and he was excellent. He took care of us from start to finish. We highly recommend you ask for him when booking your safari trip. We will definitely request him if/when we return to Kenya or any part of East Africa.

Big Cat enable your Trip of a Lifetime
Ven is the King!!!!!
We had the AMAZING Venance and was so lucky to see the big 5 thanks to his brilliant knowledge. The whole tour was magnificent and if you are exploring other tour companies….don’t! African Big Cat really know their stuff and the moment they pick you up from the airport you are at ease.
It was the trip of a lifetime, made even better through our awesome guide.
