Friendly and knowledgeable
I went on a guided hike with Emmanuel through Magamba Forest Reserve in the Western Usambara mountains , and had lovely time! He is very knowledgeable about the natural and historical values of the region, and was very friendly and relaxed. If you ever visit the Western Usambara mountains, make sure you go on a hike with him!

An amazing, unforgettable experience
Myself and 6 of my friends are from Ireland and booked a 5 day private safari tour with Suricata. We looked at the packages available and were able to organise, customise and tailor our package very easily through WhatsApp. The company reply very quickly. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro airport the day before our first day and were transported to a lovely hotel called Tulia Hotel Boutique & Spa in Arusha. It was a lovely, clean hotel! Our accommodation, meals, water and park fees were included in our price which was amazing value for money. The first day on safari we had breakfast at the hotel and we were picked up by our guide, Ezekiel to go to Tarangire National park where we saw elephants, lions, giraffes etc. Our lunch everyday was hot food and we noticed the majority of other people around us at the picnic area were eating cold lunches! The lunch meals ranged from chicken, beef, veggies, rice, potatoes, pasta, noodles, chocolate bars, fruits, juice and more! We stayed in Baghayo Garden Suite the first night and it was nothing short of a 5 star experience. Any alcoholic beverages purchased in the accommodation need to be paid for but are reasonable in price. The dinner in this accommodation was buffet style and was 5 courses! The next 2 days we spent in Serengeti and we stayed inside the park for 2 nights. This is a must as you can hear the animals at night (hyenas, lion roars etc). Both nights we were there we had buffalos roaming outside our tent but the staff in camp site, Baobab Lodges & Camps, escort you to and from your room and provide you with a walkie talkie. However, the animals are not interested in humans and are Amazing. We departed most mornings at a time at our own request which made Ezekiel such a fantastic guide. If you book through this company I suggest you request Ezekiel. He is very knowledgable and knows which animals are which from miles away. He has such an impressive array of knowledge as he is very experienced and also a lovely man which made our experience so enjoyable. We left most mornings at sunrise (6am ish) at our request despite the norm being a 8am start. Despite our early start, Ezekiel stayed out all day with us and went above and beyond for us. After our last day we were dropped back to a hotel to stay in until our flight the next day (this was negotiated with the company as the norm with the company is to be dropped back to the airport). The last day we stayed in the Serena Hotel which was a 5 star experience so I highly recommend also trying to get this accommodation into your package Overall, as a group of 7 people with no complaints it is safe to say we had a 5 star experience and would 100% to back to this company

Amazing tour, excellent service
I had booked a 21 day tour through Uganda from east to west. Home to Africa provided excellent service and was always highly responsive.
The tour stops were excellently selected as well as the accommodation.
I like to mention my guide Alex Namaara, he did an excellent job and he is the best guide I ever had.

Incredible experience - great value for money
We went on a 5 day private tour for 7 people with Suricata Safaris and had an unbelievable time. The tour was exceptional value for money. The food, accommodation and car were excellent and our tour guide, Ezekiel, was fantastic - very knowledgeable and he drove us around for 12-hour days in the Serengeti. Suricata were very accommodating in allowing us to customise the tour. We spent one day in Tarangire, three days in the Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro. We saw all of the Big Five apart from the Black Rhino, which we’ll have to come back for!

Very experienced, nice and friendly guide who could answer all our questions, good organisation
We had a great 5 days safari (Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro). It was an uniquely awesome experience. Our guide Waldon was just amazing. He knew everything and everyone, told us a lot of interesting stuff not only about wildlife and nature but also about life, people, culture and habits in Tanzania. He could answer all of our questions and always had an open ear and a smile for everyone. He even helped us out with buying fresh fruits for the tour on the local markets so that we didn’t have to pay the „Mzungu-price“.
We deliberately booked the Budget tour where we could sleep in a tent in the parcs as we wanted to „feel“ nature as direct as possible. It is an interesting experience to hear and see wild animals while you are around or in your tent. For the camping everything was very well organised. There was always someone who gave us a hand so that we didn’t have to think much about anything else except enjoying. Our cook Richard took good care of your well being so everything was a pleasure.
We can absolutely recommend this agency and wish you a great experience.

The best tour I ever had in my life. The drivers a delight!
This a the second time I travel with Home to Africa and it a really serious one. The drivers and guides are so nice and helpful. I will never think of going Uganda with another company.

Organised
We had a great time, we saw all there was to see and more and all thanks to Vincent and Suricata Safari. We cannot wait to be back and experience the greatness of Africa with them!
