Fantastic. Well Organised.
Well organised tour and great value for money.
I did a 2 day tour:
The safari itself - great guide: fun and knowledgable and we saw most of the animals.
Food was good and plenty of water.
Accomodation:
Far exceeded my expectations! Lovely lodge. Great food. And I saw elephants from my terrace in the morning.
Transfers:
Well organised and they even stored my big bag in zanzibar as I was changing hotels upon my return to zanzibar.
From speaking to other people on the safari- I think price wise, this was very good value for money!

Johnny Jackson is an exceptional tour guide
High quality service with professionalism and efficiency. Helen always responded
promptly and with warmth. The experience would not have been high quality without Johnny Jackson. When you book your tour, ask for Johnny.

Johnny Jackson was the most professional, accommodating, & punctual tour leader I ever encountered
Jockey tours delivers an outstanding safari experience. From the moment of arrival great care is taken to ensure comfort and quality. The personable demeanor of the operator is exhibited in their attentiveness to the needs of guests. Every detail of the inhabitants is patiently explained throughout the journey. I highly recommended Jocky Tours for a premiere Safari experience!

Machame route Kilimanjaro - 6 days
We had a truly amazing 6-day hike on the Kilimanjaro (Machame route) with Suricata safaris! Everything was so well organized and our group of 3 people was surounded by a pleasant crew! During the hikes we were accompanied by 2 really nice guides Freddy an Alex: they know a lot about the mountain and shared their experience and stories which was always lovely to hear! They made sure the hikes were on a good pace for the group: pole pole is one of the key things to remember! In addition, they inform you well about everything you need and what the plan is for the next day, to be sure you are prepared! I enjoyed how they would motivate and support us. But more so, during the summit night where the hight caused me some problems, they got me through the difficult moments to reach the top and go back to the camp afterwards! I am grateful for your help! They want everyone to succeed while also taking into account your health and safety!
Also thank you to John who served us food an drinks and woke us up every morning with a big smile and a cup of coffee! He made sure all your needs are met and was always stand by to help you out if needed.
Furthermore, we had a great cook Gasto creating delicious meals for breakfast lunch and diner, which were also very varied! Our group consisted of 3 people and some of us had allergies or intolerances and they took great care of that too which we really appreciated!
Overall, the whole team was very friendly and they do an amazing job: it is impressive how they carry all the luggage, food, water, tents and other logistics. They literally take good care of everything. Really hard workers who are so grateful for the opportunities they get! Sometimes we could hangout in their tent and share stories, which I really loved because this way we could get to know the people better who made this trip such a lifetime experience! In short, I would recommend it to everyone!
Thank you, asante sana, Suricate safaris for the beautiful memories. Hakuna matata!
Big hugs, Bo

Materuni waterfall. Wonderful expertise
Highly recommend this day tour to see the Materuni waterfall. The waterfall is really beautiful. The hike to and from the waterfall felt really good after four days of safari with Suricata (also amazing). I wasn’t sure what to expect from a “coffee experience” but it ended up being really entertaining, and the coffee was delicious. Lunch was the best meal I’ve had on this trip. I especially loved the banana soup! Singing and dancing with the Chaga people was my favourite experience in Tanzania. Kudos to my excellent guides, Mr T ( day trip) and Frederick (safari)

Amazing experience, top-notch service
This is the second time that I have use this Safari company. They are absolutely outstanding. Brenda is an American who has settled in Tanzania, and is the main contact person for arranging your tours. She is extremely organized and booked all of our complex air travel, hotels, and park entries. I was able to customize the tour after several conversations with her. She is absolutely phenomenal.
There are several very seasoned Safari guides in this company. This time we had Leslie who was spectacular. We spent six days with him and he was completely appropriate, organized, and interested. He has a knack for finding the animals and for having us have a great experience. He had joy showing us unique animal experiences. He is always respectful and on time.
Overall, this is a fantastic company that you will be really happy with. It is the perfect size because you will know who the guides are and you have a main contact person who is available all the time.
Five stars!

Best tour ever!
It was a great experience with Suricata! Our driver-guide is Frederick. He brought us to several national parks and we saw so many animals! We were lucky enough to witness elephants, lions and cheetahs. I would definitely return to Tanzania again! Thank you Suricata and Frederick!

Amazing company and Safari!
We did the 6 day 5 night tour of Zimbabwe (Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls) and Botswana (Chobe National Park). It was amazing!!
Webster at DK Tours was amazing at every step of both the organisation of the trip and through our Safari itself. Enock from DK Tours and NKula from the sister company in Botswana (Tony’s Mobile Safaris) were also brilliant and took great care of us on all our safaris and excursions.
Accommodation was excellent and all chosen by DK Tours as well
Would thoroughly recommend to everyone
