Safe and Family friendly safari with amazing service! Very knowledgable and friendly staff.
From the first moment, communication was always open and honest. Always very patient with all my questions/requests. Everything was exactly as offered. Charles (our tour guide) was very kind and took care of every detail to ensure we were always comfortable. He is very knowledgable which made our safari an amazing experience. 100% Recommended!

Unforgettable experience!
Our safari was an amazing experience!
Our driver was Evans, he picked us up from our place in Nairobi. We got to Masai Mara around 3.30 PM, we put our bags in our tent (which had a separate toilet and shower) and went for an evening drive in the park. On the very first day we saw lions, giraffes, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, Thomson gazelles, and hippos.
On the second day we got up very early, and after our breakfast we went for a whole-day-long game drive in the park (at 7 AM we were already watching cheetahs). We saw lions from only a few metres which was amazing. We also saw elephants, leopards, ostrich, and so many more.
Evans is a fantastic driver, who knows a lot about animals, and could tell us interesting facts about them. He was very friendly all along. He did everything he could to make this trip unforgettable.
On the last day we got up very early and left to visit Naivasha lake which we requested in advance, and we took a 1-hour long boatride (30USD/person, optional, not included in price). The lake is beautiful, and we could see hippos and a lot of birds. After lunch we went to Hell's Gate National Park, ticket was included in the safari price. We rented bikes (10USD/bike, optional, not included) and we were cycling in the park where were giraffes, zebras and buffalos around us. It was very beautiful.
We saw pictures about the canyon in the park, but guards there told us it would cost and extra 20USD to go there (short trip, longer was 40), which was very frustrating because we already paid the price for the ticket and it felt like an extra ripoff (it is on the park, not the whole safari). We were already cycling 6km-s, but we just turned around.
First day lunch, dinner, second day: breakfast, lunch (picknick), dinner, 3rd day breakfast, lunch, and bottled water for every day was in the price. I am vegan, and I had quite a few options. I was always full after the meals.
We paid 400USD for the whole trip/person. I booked it via email with Jockey Tours. It was totally worth it, I loved every minute of it!

The perfect Safari experience!
Did a lot of research before booking and can’t deny it was the best decision for this trip. With Mattaw, you will get a personalized experience that you will hold dear to yourself for years to come.
The whole trip was perfectly planned with amazing locations and lodges included and can’t enough our guide Charles for the amazing company he was throughout!

Beyond our expectations!
We went on a safari in Tanzania with Good Earth Tours; and it was an experience that I will never forget- it was by far one of the best experiences of my life.
Everything was quite well planned for us down to fine detail! The accommodations were spectacular and the food exceeded our expectations!
Our tour guide for the Safari (Abdul) was superb; always checking that we were OK and helping us to see all animals and birds we had on our list!
The overall service was excellent and I would highly recommend Good Earth Tours!

Unforgettable 4-days Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire
We enjoyed on a 4-day budget safari with Suricata Safaris. Search was at Safaribookings.com. We also read reviews on Tripadvisor. From five companies, Suricata Safaris was chosen. We were satisfied with the full service, which included two transfers (from airport and to airport), two nights (first and last) accommodation at Hotel in Arusha namely the safari and price for all this. Hillary answered all questions quickly and clearly. Everything was well organized throughout. We spent all nights in campsites announced in program, Food, which Benjamin prepared was always delicious and varied. National dishes were often prepared. Our guide and driver Lewis found, showed and told us all about animals. We saw whole big five. Living conditions in campsites were decent: wash, go to toilet, eat at the table, charge gadgets, use Wi-Fi, and in Mto Wa Mbu even relax in swimpool - no problem. We also really enjoyed walk through village, which Deo took us. It was very interesting and informative. Immersed in the life of the local population. We also visited the Maasai settlement, they showed us their colorful dances, Maasai life and their home. It also added unforgettable emotions and impressions.But of course the main on this safari were animals and there were plenty of them in all the national parks we visited. And this is Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. So: I would recommend Suricata Safaris for a budget safari

AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH TANZANIA ROADSIDE EXPEDITION
We had such a great lifetime. The tour was very interesting, we visited several national parks (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater), we had the chance to cross lots of lions, leopards, serval cats, tones of gnous and zebras during the great migration, hippos, elephants and so on.
Justin our guide was very nice, flexible and understanding. He has an amazing knowledge of the african wildlife. We became like friends. He's able to answer to any question. Moreover he gave us the opportunity of visiting a Maasai village.
Paul the owner of the company is really professional and helping for any inquiries we made (payment, choice of the hotels ...)
The hotels proposed by the company were absolutely perfect. (Lake Manyara Serena Lodge, Four Seasons Serengeti, Oldeani Mountai Lodge, and Gran Melia). All the accomodations were comfortable and each hotel provided us meals for lunching during the game drive, snacks, drinks, meals.
We highly recommand them if you plan to book a tour in Tanzania. For sure we will go back there with them.
Thanks Paul & Justin for this incredible experience that we will never forget !

Wonderful safari experience, best experience in most reasonable price
Had an great safari experience, Joseph was very responsive in managing the travel plans and accomodoting the requests. The rate was very reasonable compared to other agents. Daniel (guide and driver) was very friendly and experienced to spot animals. Bike ride to Hells gate national park was the best part that I enjoyed where the animal could be spotted on the sideways while riding bike.

For the trek, our guide, was so important for us the last night, guiding us in the dark and bringing our water bottles to the top. We couldnt have made it without him. All the meals we had on the mountain were really good (they were diversified and there was a lot of food).
About the safari, it was incredible! We chose Middle range safari and were not disappointed at all, considering the camping sites are really in the middle of the wildlife! Our guide, was excellent and he is such a good driver (we always felt secure, no matter the road condition). He knows so many things about the wildlife and East Africa and he was always eager to give us informations. He was also concerned by our needs and was able to show us everything that we wanted to see. I would recommend him to anyone. We also had an excellent cook, Markus, who, each day, managed to make small miracles for us (he made me a cake for my birthday in the middle of the Serengeti!). We had such a good time with them!
About the car, the communication before and after the trek/safari, the price, etc., everything was perfect. I recommend Hekima Safaris East Africa to anyone who wants to make a good trip
