Absolutely well experienced and trained. I even invited him for Dinner.
My Safari tour was extremely well scheduled to my taste. Every detail was taken care of. We had a lot of questions and doubts, but Sarah W/ Kerr & Downy) and the Guide (Charles) settled all questions and doubts. It was well structured every detail was taken care of. Hard to put price on that kind of service and satisfaction. This was our itinerary and comments about each.
1. 2 days at the Arusha Coffee Lodge.
a. extremely beautiful setting . Beds & the whole facility was very comfortable. We had breakfast outside both mornings. I recommend that. Everyone was eager to serve you. Beautiful & quiet setting.
b. We had our 1st guide (Charles) take us shopping for extra luggage and gifts and items for the kids and grandkids. I even had some items shipped back for my office.
2. 2 days @ Ngorongoro Conservation Park. (Andrew was our guide, very knowledgeable / well trained and experienced in his job)
a. 1st. day went on a game drive. Saw some incredible animals very close. Elephants / small antelopes / Lions & lionesses / buffalo / and even a very large boa constrictor.
b. 2nd day went into the crater. Saw hippos as close as 25' away grazing and also in the water. A male lion chasing another lion protecting his territory. Flamingos by the thousands. Herds of buffalos (we were within 60 ft. of approx. 200 to 300 buffalos.) the Animals were very close in this park. So exciting.
3. 4 days Sayari Camp. ( Gerald was our guide. A very special and conscientious guide, by the way he is getting married 11-18-23 CONGRATLATIONS ! We plan to send him a wedding gift, this guide was so special to us)
a. 1st of all the pictures in the advertisement doesn't do this camp justice. I immediately text Sarah W/ Kerr & Downey that this was a luxurious camp in the wild. Beyond our expectations. Food was excellent / NOTHING like sitting on the back porch watching and listening to the animals out in the wild. We had a wake up call if we needed it , ask what time would we like for them to pick us up. and would bring us the delicious Arusha coffee 15 minutes before being picked up for breakfast, NOTHING like sitting on the back porch or deck listening to the animals in the early morning hours.
b. Every morning after breakfast , Gerald would pack a lunch (I was expecting cold stale sandwiches, we had hot lunches vegetables, beef always delicious fresh fruit & cold drinks or coffee if you preferred)
c. Every day Gerald would take us out to search for the game. He seemed to know where a particular game was out depending on the time. We witnessed the crossing of several thousand Wildebeest migration. Had a long wait but was worth it. Very exciting to watch the shear numbers jumping into the water. Four didn't make it the crocodiles got them.
d. The 3rd day at this camp was a hot air balloon ride. we were very apprehensive at first. Such a smooth take-off and landing . This was floating across the Serengeti, spotting the different animals from anywhere from 50' to 300 ft. very soothing & peaceful ride. The remainder of the day was lunch in camp and then a safari hunt for the animals, that afternoon.
e. The staff at this camp was very attentive to your needs and usually added in some special deserts /campfires and just some good old socializing. I loved this camp. Highly recommend it.

Amazing trip with very helpful staff
This was such a wonderful experience! I initially came out as a solo female traveler and felt very safe and well cared for! They were super helpful ensuring my friend arrived later and got her there safe as well.
Really enjoyed the activities and all the guides were wonderful.
Did not get to see the leopard or cheetah in the wild so I believe this means I need to come back :)
Saw wild rhinos, giraffes, elephantsz hippo (from afar) and mating lion pairs which were all so so amazing!!

Very good
Fantastic experience, great food, hotels and staff like Swali and Daniel. Our guide, Fred, was perfect, he could nearly spot animals without even loking, he was full of knowlege about the animals and I learned a lot of things. We saw a varety of animals, including: the big 5's, cheetahs, zebras, girafs and many other iconic safari animals. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo through both walking and driving. The food at the hotels/lounges were always good and the lunch were diverse and warm. In Serengeti we slept in tents IN the national park and we could Even hear the animals outside.
Overal the safari was perfect and past ours expectations.
Thanks to all the staff

4 days Safari
Unforgetable safari experience thanks to the kind staff, like Swali, Daniel and especially our guide Fred who brought us to Tarangire, Serengeti and N'gorogoro parks, and spot for us many animals like lion, leopard, cheetah even rhino.
We were explained how they are living, eating/ hunting, interacting each others. Not only drive and shoot but also observation and understanding wild life.
Lunches in the park were amazing.
On top of that, our journey was very safe thanks to all the Suricata staff

Accommodating and flexible to the parties concerns and needs.
I arranged a safari for a group initially of 5 friends and relatives that grew to 12. I started with a package safari off the website and tweaked it to the groups wants. Quick response time from Madukha. We added extra day in Nairobi for recovery - it's a long flight from NYC. We added another day for the giraffe center and the elephant orphanage before starting our safari. I contacted 3 companies on Safaribookings and only Madukha agreed to the tweaks. We checked the reviews of the tented camps and lodges on tripadvisor . One did not meet our standards and Madukha offered an option to change it for an upgrade. All the other accommodations were awesome. The accommodations were the same as the more expensive safari companies used. We had two vans and each night I would discuss with a driver/ tour guide the next day's schedule. The driver/tour guide accommodated special requests ie stopping at a pharmacy, lunch on the last day before the airport. I have been on other safaris and saw many different animals thanks to driver Paul's knowledge. The company made three different airport picks and two airport dropoffs on schedule. I have recommended Madukha to a neighbor that I only discovered over the weekend is booking a safari in 2024.
