2 Days Safari in Tsavo East Kenya
We had a private tour with Dicky Chikoza last June in Tsavo East Kenya and it was fabulous. Dicky explained very well the story of the reserve with a lot of details and it will be very useful for French-speaking tourists, that's great.
We highly recommend this tour and we definitly want to visit Kenya again with Dicky.

Beyond Expectations!!!
Super trip with a fantastic mountain crew from guides to porters. The route was varied and stunning and any flora or fauna we encountered the guides were able to identify. Mwene our lead guide and Brown our second guide made us feel relaxed and safe and ensured we acclimatised correctly with good interesting hikes which included lunch, tea stood and stunning views. With a relaxed attitude we often left camp slightly later than the other teams and had a leisurely pause and the path to ourselves. Julian the chef cooked some amazing food including currys chips pizza and tasty veg dishes. Summit day was tough but with Mwene at the helm we took it slow but steady and reached the summit in 7 hours. The expertise of the guides and the friendliness and hard work of the rest of the team made it possible for us to summit and have a good holiday.

Keen eye for the small details that make a vacation worth it!
Thinkk Travels did a great job organising our first trip to Capetown, South Africa. They took care of our flights, accommodation (AirBnB) and put together an itinerary that showed us a lot of the city in a week. We had 5 days in the city and got to see Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain, the Apartheid Museum, toured the wine vineyards in Constantia, Hout's Bay (great fish and chips!) and Simon's Town to see the penguins at Boulder's Beach. Great trip all around!

Excellent safari
The safari was well organized, planned by Luca with whom I chatted for a long time. We could see many animals helped by a very good guide who did his best to sastify us.

Best experience ever!
Everything was just awesome with big time safaris! The communication upfront with Steve gave you a good and safe feeling about traveling to Africa for the first time! Going on safari with the best driver / national park expert / person Gibson was just amazing! We saw every animal we wanted to see and much more than that! For the budget we had planned we got the nicest lodges and very good service :-) everybody in the office and on the road was super friendly and helpful - we would definitely recommend this company!

Exceptional service and would definitely use them again!
They really took good care of our travels within Kenya. We loved their knowledge of good vacation sites and found them very reliable and easy to deal with. We were a group of 4 and everyone was really impressed by their good service. We all would definitely book our next travel with Delfin again!

Great experience
We booked the 5 days Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha budget tour with Karibu Safaris in Kenya and we are definitely contented with the choice.
Starting from the pre-booking communication, trough reservation process, pick up, drop off and the safari itself, everything was smooth and easy. They waited for us at the airport even though our flight delayed and drove us to join the group.
Then we spent 5 unforgetable days. Edward was a great driver and did his best to allow us see as much animals as possible. We saw all the big 5 and many more animals.
It was our first safari and we are very excited by the experience.

5 unvergessliche Tage!
With Suricata Safaris we were taken on a real dream safari through four national parks.
Even before the trip, starting with the organization, everything went smoothly. Any question was answered immediately by Hilary (the co-owner) via WhatsApp, so we were able to easily extend our trip to Arusha for a night for a good price to match our flights. We were always picked up on time, be it from the airport or by our driver and guide Mandela, who showed us (4 people) and two other nice guests the best of Tanzania over the 5 days. Mandela, who completed a three-year college education as a guide and already has 8 years of professional experience, did an excellent job here. With his knowledge and experience he was able to explain the wildlife to us and he always knew where to position the car for the best wildlife sightings and photos. So we were always up front when there was something to see.
For us, Tarangire and Serengeti National Park were the highlights of our 5-day safari. In addition to the BIG 5 (elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard and rhino (the latter unfortunately only being visible from a little further away), we were also able to see cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, hippos and many more. Some of them could also be heard at night.
The accommodations also invite you to relax after an eventful day. The first two nights (outside the parks) the lodge had a pool and a nice view of the countryside. On the other two days, the accommodations were even located in the national parks.
We would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris for a safari as it is well thought out and executed from start to finish. This also shows the lunch. This was freshly prepared every day, so that Surciata Safaris can do without lunch boxes and the amounts of waste they produce.
In summary, one can say that every day of our 5-day safari from Suricata was provided with many highlights.

Flawless custom tailored luxury safari experience - Honeymoon of a lifetime.
TLDR: Booked our honeymoon and it was flawless and out of a movie.
Booked a luxury safari as our honeymoon, which was originally delayed due to COVID, and it went even better than we could have imagined. Here is our experience
- Our main point of contact was Benson who we communicated with through WhatsApp. He tailored our itinerary to the areas that we wanted to see and would fit in our budget. He was very professional and prompt with responding. We met him in person at the start of our safari. He is a very nice guy and gave us a nice welcome gift :)
- We paid cash and sent the money via bank wire. Everything went smooth and no issues. This was our biggest concern as there can be a lot of scammers
- Our driver was Jackson and it was his mission to make sure we saw as much wild life as possible, which was our personal goal. Jackson showed us the big 6 ( the 6th is cheetah in my opinion). We also saw a kill and cheetah cubs. He also arranged for us to pet a rhino (AMAZING EXPERIENCE). Jackson is well connected with the other drivers so he knows where all the action is and goes there first. He also taught us a lot about animals and makes good conversation when we had our long drives. The vehicle was a land cruiser and held up on those off road days well.
- Accommodations: As stated we booked the luxury tier and we are so glad we did. The rooms were straight out of a magazine or instagram. Luxury camp sites where we couldn't tell if this was a tent or like a legitimate 5 star hotel room because they were so big, private and had all the amenities. Every site did turn down service in which at night they put down the mosquito nets and put a nice warm water bottle in your bed so when you get in its nice and warm cause the nights can get cold. The food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Most meals were a sit down 3 course menu and the chefs are excellent. All the food is local. These lodges did it better than any other US or European hotel we have stayed at that call themselves 5 stars. Definitely set a new standard.
