Amazing experience!
Me and my boyfriend had a great experience with Surikata safari.
When I started looking for a safari, I was really worried about booking on my own because it often happens to bump into a fraud.
However, Hilary, the chief of surikata safari, was available to call and explain me everything i needed and answered every whatsapp text I sent him. That made us rely on this company and we booked the 5 nights budget safari (which means sleeping in the tent).
5nighs safari actually includes more than just the safari stuff (pick up at there airport, accomodation in arusha...), but they will explain if you ask them.
Regarding our experience, we really loved serengheti and ngoro ngoro parks (remember to bring something warm for ngoro ngoro couse it s cold), we have seen a lot of animals and taken many poctures.
Tarangire was fine as well, but if I could change something, I would maybe skip the Lake manyara park because is not very interesting, you loose one day and you get tired.
Our guide was well prepared and food was good.
The camping site were in the middle of the nature, which allowed us to see the sunset and the sunrise; the tents were generally clean.
Overall, i warmly recommend Surikata safari, also because its good bilance between quality and price.

Thank you Joel for this beautiful program ❤️ We are delighted with our 9 day / 8 night safari program from Arusha and we return with lots of memories in mind (2 adults and 2 girls 22 and 18 years old)… and no less than 800 photos and videos!

Unforgettable and enchanting experience!
My husband and I decided to Celebrate our 10-year anniversary with a Safari, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our Safari guide was amazing we saw all the animals we wanted to see. We also told him we saw elephants at the zoo on one of our first dates, so he always made sure to stop where there were elephants because of how special they were to us!
Sheryl was also amazing to work with, we had some issues with our time off from work but she created an itinerary that worked for us. She went above and beyond because all the lodges and places we stayed were amazing! They had beautiful views and it always at a perfect location to relax after a day out with all the animals.
I would highly recommend it! We are hoping to take our daughters next time we go and will definitely come back to Connect

Attentive, patient and accommodating.
I could not recommend Kajie Safaris any higher. When I started planning our visit to Africa 10 months ago, I looked for itineraries that suited our needs and then started researching the different companies offering similar itineraries. Reading the reviews online about Kajie, I was honestly skeptical about a company that had that many 5 star reviews. Let me tell you after dealing with Kajie, Ronald who tirelessly customized the itinerary and answered my many questions promptly and our guide Robeson who was exceptional, I now know how they got all the 5 star reviews, THEY EARNED THEM. I would, without hesitation, use Kajie again myself and recommend them to family and friends. Thank you Robeson and Ronald for a such amazing safari including the gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Bweza Lodge and the Bush Lodge on the Kazinga Channel. I am grateful for the service and experiences you afforded us.
Thank you,
Bob and Shelley

Excellent agency, knowledgeable, helpful, trustworthy
Amazing experience.
When you decide to do a safari... You can win or loose, depending on who takes you there. We won.
We were lucky to enjoy 5 days with Raymond, a very professional and always smailiy guide. Raymond is the perfect guide. He has tons of experience (he can tell you all about animals, plants, insects and birds) and he can take you to the best spots in any park. We have made 4 parks and managed to see them all (big 5). Even Rino and cheetah twice!. He knows everyone and he is super reliable. We had a great car, which did not break! The agency (run by Laurence) is very trustworthy and professional, he is always available and helpful.
Really recommend. Raimond and Lawrence, great company. Trustworthy and capable to meet all your wish (and expectations)!

Setting up the tour was extremely easy, working with William.
On our tour, we had a driver who had 30+ years of experience! John was accommodating, kind, helpful, and fun. He was a very safe driver, showed great respect for the animals, and made sure to go out of his way to help us -- from finding animals that we were discussing to helping organize a fun surprise for our anniversary, John went above and beyond to make our safari the best experience possible for us.
We chose mid-level and we always had running water, quite beautiful facilities, and amazing buffet meals. The customer service of everywhere we went was very, very good.

Stop looking, book, request Yusuph, and prepare for adventure of a lifetime!
From our initial contact with Nickson, to finalizing details with Kabwe, to our most incredible guide Yusuph, Lion King Adventures provided us with the most amazing experience of our many travels. We booked the 12 night beach/safari package and added an evening in the Serengeti. We could not possibly have been more pleased.
The beach portion at the Melia Zanzibar was fantastic, but the real adventure began when we flew into Arusha and met up with our guide, and now friend, Yusuph. Yusuph, there can be no doubt, was the key to the amazing adventure we would have over the next week. Yusuph's uncanny ability to spot wildlife still has us asking how after being home for a few days. His passion for his country, people and wildlife was evident throughout our journey. We so enjoyed his Swahili lessons during our drive times (the lodges were amazed how many expressions and greetings we already had down). Due to Yusuph and his efforts we were able to spot the "Big Five", even spotting the elusive rhino our last day.
When we booked this adventure, we assumed it would be a once in a lifetime trip; however, after experiencing our time with Yusuph and the job performed by the whole Lion King Adventures staff we will most definitely be returning. So to Lion King Adventures and Yusuph we say "Tutaonana baadaye!"

Amazing experience, support and communication
We normally travel independently and could not have been happier with our experience with Compass Odyssey. Excellent communication from the start - listened to what we wanted, provided advice, and designed a perfect trip. The itinerary was perfect - hotels, travel logistics and experiences. Darren's communication throughout the process was great - even when there was a small mishap it was dealt with immediately before we even asked. Ruth was an amazing host in Victoria Falls and could not have had the experience we did without her. Truly helped make our amazing experience a reality.
