Trip of a lifetime
Norah helped us so much - from refining our choice of the best time to visit, answering all of our questions, and selecting a guide - Adrian - who was a delight to be with. He has an excellent understanding of all the many different wildlife we saw and how to find the best time and place for viewing. He also has a good sense of humour which made the trip great fun for us. He made sure that our needs were well met every day on the game drives and at the lodges and camps where we stayed.
We saw many animals very close up without any stress or disturbance to them thanks to our very skillful guide.
The highlight of seeing the crossing at Mara River was spectacular - well worth waiting patiently for the second afternoon. Adrian’s skill came to the fore again when he was able to get us right to the edge of the riverbank to watch the wildebeest plunge in, swim across, and leap out right in front of us, all accompanied by their desperate calling and frantic scrambling.
We can recommend this safari trip with Easy Travel without any reservation- it was a pleasure travelling with them - a truly memorable experience!

Best safari experience of my life. Booking communication smooth and transparent. Great value for cost. Trip was customized to our needs. Camp site is "glamping" with en-tent bathroom and hot shower. Monkeys everywhere. Food was no frills but good.
Take a private jeep instead of the tour van. It's significantly more comfortable and gives you access to areas of the park where you cannot go unless you have a 4x4 (aka where the big cats live).
A "Maasi cultural visit" is a unique experience to see how the tribe that owns the land lives, but be aware that a sizable donation ($100 per visitor) is expected.
The safari itself was EPIC! Our guide TEDDY was determined that we see all the animals. He was on the radio all day coordinating with the other guides. We saw ALL BIG 5 including the illusive black rhino, and I have insane videos of cheetahs at play. Teddy is a 22-year veteran and proved it as he was able to spot leopards and lions hiding in the grasses while simultaneously navigating very rough terrain and talking to the other jeeps. Compared to the other guides, Teddy was definitely the best at navigating us to the ideal spots for photos. He has a great eye and helped position me for amazing shots.
I will 100% book with African Mosaic Safaris again when I return to Kenya in 2023.

Fantastic trip
We had a terrific time, thanks to Vanessa and Spirit of Kenya. Our trip took us to Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania. Saw lions, cheetahs, elephants and lots of zebras. Our two guides were uncanny in their ability to spot animals. We also stayed in a great lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Vanessa was always responsive to our questions and concerns.

The best choice for an Arrive and Drive self drive safari in Zim
As first time zim visitors, we chose manapools.com because they don't just rent you the car, they provide a complete service. You are met at the airport, get the use of a comfortable lodge in harare, they buy your groceries for you...but best of all they book the BEST campsites for you in all the hard to get locations. Their itinerary planning was spot on, all the recommendations about which guides to use, where to eat, where to stay etc were spot on. The staff are delightful and very efficient, vehicles were reliable, clean and very well equipped. High recommendation

Best experience with Africa Magic Holidays and Tours
The safari was a wonderful experience with Africa Magic Holidays! Price-performance ratio was very good and we really had the best people on our side who made this trip something very special! We were told a lot about the history of the country and the animals. We were even able to see the Big Five in just 2 days on safari! Everything was organised and we didn't have to worry about anything!
Thank you Lazarus and team for this unforgettable holiday!

Wonderful custom Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Meru, great value
We did a great custom private Safari for 2 with Dream Africa tours to Meru, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Imelda was very helpful in organizing and planning the Safari to meet or requests. She was very responsive to our questions and everything went exactly as planned with no issues. She made some excellent suggestions for things to do and places to stay.
The 2 nights in Meru at Ikweta Safari Camp were very quiet and peaceful with very personalized service. There were very few people there and not as many animals, but we still saw rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, water buck, crocodile, hippo and many more. The 1 night at Nakuru Sopa Lodge was lovely, our room had beautiful floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the lake. We managed to see lion, rhino, hyena, giraffe, hippo and many birds and animals. The 3 nights at Mara sopa lodge were fantastic for seeing animals. Our guide James was really in his element and we saw so many Lions as well as leopards, cheetah, hyena, elephants, jackal and many more.
We are vegetarian and all the places had good vegetarian food options for us as well. The service was excellent at all the lodges. The price for the custom, private Safari was very reasonable in comparison to the others we looked at.

Great experience and amazing guide
The organization was great. Our guide Dickson was the best! Always taking good care of the whole group and he knows Maasai Mara park by heart and where to spot all the amazing animals we came to see. The accommodation is big and the staff incredible friendly.

Four great days in safari
We had four wonderful days with Serengeti smile. Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Champion was very nice and very knowledgeable about all the animals. We would highly recommend our guide and his organization.

Friendly knowledgeable staff with a clear love and respect for nature
Everything about our experience with Suricata Safaris well and truly exceeded our expectations! Prior to departure, Hilary was attentive, answering all our questions no matter the hour and the airport transfers were smooth, comfortable and hassle-free allowing us to relax into our holiday and enjoy everything that the region has to offer. Accommodation wise, we were increasingly impressed in each location - the staff were inexhaustibly welcoming, the rooms were comfortable and luxuriously clean after a day on the dusty roads, and the food, which included farm-to-table culinary delights made us wish we were staying for longer!
As for the safari experience itself, we had a truly unforgettable time and most of the credit goes to our wonderful guide Mandela. Knowledgeable, respectful, fun and with a clear love for his work and nature, he calmly yet enthusiastically introduced us to the stunning landscape and took us to view ‘all’ the animals we’d hoped to see, along the way answering all our questions with ease and we had many an interesting chat over meals. Topping it off, the two girls and the couple we were on safari with were absolute gems who felt like family by the end of our five days.
All round, we had a phenomenal time and I cannot recommend Suricata Safaris more highly. Thank you to the whole team for making it such a wonderful experience!!
