Unforgettable Experience!
My photo safari with Suricata was absolutely phenomenal! All my expectations were exceeded. I chose a budget level/camping package and I was completely comfortable. Musa was our chef and everything he prepared was delicious and plentiful! Fredy was our most excellent, extremely knowledgeable guide for 3 days; I learned so much, I had to start taking notes! Swaleh gave a lovely walking tour of Arusha. Hilary, the owner was very easy to communicate with via email, while planning my trip, and finally Mr T was a great driver and ambassador for Suricata. Overall a fabulous operation that I highly recommend!

Knowledgeable, kind and punctual
Dickson was our guide, a kind person who not only knew lots about Masai Mara but about other parks in Kenya too. He told us in detail about the many animals we saw in the park, their family relations and the nature. But he went beyond what's expected of a guide, sharing personal stories from which we learnt heaps about Kenya and Kenyan tribes and Kenyan traditions. The food in Lechanda camp was delicious (though i guess all food would have been after a long safari day) and the tents so big that double beds had been placed in them! All in allo, a wonderful experience!

Professional
Our driver Johny was exceptional. He know exactly where to go and what to do and was extremely thoughtful to our group members.
We would not have had such a great experience in looking at all the animals we did. Very professional.

Brilliant service and well organised
I booked a trip with Svai Luxe escapes with my sister after being recommended by a few people about their tours in Tanzania. The service from Priyal and her team has been exceptional. Priyal created a custom itinerary for us as we had limited time, we visited Ngorongoro crater, The Serengeti and Zanzinbar. We had an amazing trip and our guide Vincent was fantastic and so knowledgeable as well, we got to see so many amazing animals and all of the big 5! The highlight of the trip was the amazing hot air balloon ride with the epic views. The whole trip went smoothly with the transfers and internal flights and we stayed at some incredible lodges. I would highly recommend Priyal for anyone looking to travel to Tanzania.

AquilaVenture stand by and for you, to make your Safari an absolute success.
When we (2 persons) were looking for a reliable and professional Safari tour operator, Aquila Venture Tours and Safaris came out to be an operator with a very good scoring. It is also not a big company (4 cars) which ensures you have personal contact with the management of the tour operator. We arranged everything 2 months in advance, but this if of course subject to your own schedule, as they can be very flexible and think with you to find the best program. Bakari (management, there are 2 Bakari’s) was helping me out with the planning and the costs via Whatapp. This all went smooth and the communication was good. We payed a small amount in advance, as a deposit / for the lodges.
We first went to Zanzibar and told Bakari which flight we would be on and he confirmed everything was arranged. On the day of arrival, Bakari first came to the airport to welcome us and handle the last part of the payment. This all went very quick and good.
After this, Bakari (guide) came with the Safari car and showed us where we would spend a lot of time in the upcoming days. The car :’)
The Serengeti NP is not around the corner. A lot of the tour operators drive from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport. Arusha is the fastest way, and so did we. The driving of Bakari was absolutely astonishing. He did so well, especially in the parks, with sometimes extreme rain and flooded, slippery roads, he managed to guide us safely through the park.
The lodges Embalakai and Farm of Dreams were both great. I can recommend them wholeheartedly. If you are in the park and have the chance to sleep in the Embalakai camp, I really advise to do so.
We have seen so many wildlife in just 3 days. The big 5 for sure, but also so much more. Bakari (guide) was so sharp and could see wildlife we did not see with our binoculars. He was just so trained, really impressive.
The lunches and the service was perfect. In the end, we were brought to a hotel in Arusha were we spend the night as our flight was leaving the following morning and Bakari (management) came to the hotel especially to hear from us our experience. Very impressive to see how far the company is going to make sure you had a wonderful time. They even brought us the following day to the airport which was so nice, good service.
They wash the car in between and ensure that after every safari, the car goes to a garage for inspection. Safety and Quality is standing very high for them.
So, the Serengeti NP, Ngorogoro and all that we did, together with Bakari / Aquila Venture Tours and Safari’s was really an amazing experience and I would recommend them to you all.
Bakari’s, thank you for making it a succes.

An unforgettable experience with Moises
They say that Life is the moments that the soul keeps. Well, without a doubt, Tanzania is the most incredible experience I've had in my life. And it is because there is a being of light there called Moses and who has the SOUL of Tanzania in his eyes and in his heart. With him we have lived unforgettable moments with the utmost respect for animals and their environment. I recommend it 100%, with his Safari you will fill your interior with unforgettable experiences.

Excellent service
It was one of my dream trips, it finally came true. We took a private tour which was by far the best option for us. Thanks to the extraordinary effort of our guide Moison, we were able to see the big 5 in one morning. I recommend Aardvark because the organization was excellent and they gave us all the help to minimize the impact of our luggage not arriving on time.
