Chaotic and did not take ownership or control
This was my first safari and while the overall park experience was amazing we had a poor experience relative to tour management
Our chief tour planner delegated day to day management to junior and inexperienced staff
We experienced numerous snags and snafus
1) original agreed upon schedule was not supported and we had to make numerous unpleasant adjustments
2) tour leader was unresponsive and candidly avoiding any contact
3) we had to check out of a lodge in serengetti and find last minute accommodations because tour operator booked only 1 night as opposed to agreed upon 2 night stay
4) we were misinformed and hotel booked was different and of a lower grade than what was agreed upon in the itinerary
I would not recommend this tour operator as we did not have a satisfactory experience

Tanzania Safari tour
Just from the first approach in February, Suricata agency seemed very professional and concrete with his prompt replies. After the safari, completed few hours ago, I am so enthusiastic that I preferred to do this review soonest. All the expectations have been completely satisfied. All the services provided have been truly excellent. The guide/driver was always ready to answer to any questions giving any explanation about the animals, about the vegetation and also regarding the programme. To any topic he gave comprehensive information always . I highly recommend this agency to fully experience the Safari atmosphere without any bitter surprises.
Over the top!!! Well done to everyone Suricata’s team !!!

Great experience!
My family (me, my husband, and our 5-year-old) booked a 13-day safari trip for East Africa through Amazing Memories, and the Tanzania part was hosted by Migada Adventures. We had Mike as our guide, who was extremely professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful.
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, and were able to see over thirty species of mammals and over one hundred species of birds on the whole trip. Also, we took pictures and videos of wildebeests migrating, lions mating, elephants with babies, etc,...
We also did a night safari in Lake Manyara, which was also awesome. We were able to see some bushbabies and genets there.

Passionate about ensuring that guests have the best stay and sightings
We started our tour from Nairobi with John, who is part of Jocky tours. The journey to Masai Mara was comfortable and fast. Our experienced was truly memorable because of John. He is so passionate about what he does and he ensured that we had a great time and had the best sightings. We saw the big 5, in just one and a half days of game drives and not just that, he even made us see hunts and kills. He always ensured that we had the best views. He is so well versed with the place and just knows where to see what! We were really lucky to have John as our guide and would highly recommend him for the best experience at Mara!

An experience we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Our Nsavi tour was such a memorable holiday! Nsavi was very helpful throughout the booking and traveling process. They made the trip simple and worry-free. The hotel was comfortable with wonderful bird watching. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. Our driver was invaluably helpful, friendly, and great company. The gorilla and golden monkey experiences were something we will remember for the rest of our lives. We had an absolute blast and can't wait to come back and do it again. There is so much more we want to see!

Absolutely Amazing! Gave us more than what we asked!
Absolutely worth every penny and more! John/Johny is an amazing guy! I feel he is one of the best guides at Masai. He knows the place like the back of his hand. He knew where to find what. He ensured that we saw the big five and he was always among the 1st to reach there. With him we were lucky enough to watch kills, hunts, big 5 and everything else that Masaai Mara had to offer. He took special care and also made us feel safe all the time. He is an expert in his craft and he ensured that we had one of the most memorable experiences of our life. Thank you, John! I am very happy with the service and the tour organisation.

FANTASTIC 3 day Ruaha Safari
We had an amazing experience and saw so many animals. Gerald was great at communicating with us and was willing to help problem solve when we had issues with payment. Please be aware the expectation is a downpayment that is done online but when you arrive in person the remaining is paid in cash unless you pay all online in advance.
The team on the safari was very relaxed and made us feel comfortable in every way. The driver shared so much interesting information with us and was so patient letting us sit and enjoy a view for as long as we wanted. The chef did a great job of cooking delicious meals. Of course I recommend bringing some snacks as well because if you are only traveling in Tanzania for a few days, your stomach will not be used to all of the new ingredients. We didn't have any issues but we also have been living in Tanzania for some time now.
The 3-day and two night tour felt like the perfect amount of time. We went in August (winter for Tanzania) and I was a bit surprised at how cool it can be during the sunrise game drives especially when the car windows are down. I recommend bringing layers, or a small coat.
Again, a lovely experience. Would use the same company again in a heartbeat. And from what we experienced and what the driver told us, Ruaha is a great park because it's not as touristy as others. Very true, we sometimes went 3-4 hours without seeing any other vehicle so it makes the experience so special and private.

Perfect
Everything was beyond my expectations! I would like to thank Mohamed for organizing our activity, for taking the time to answer our questions before the safari and for coming to see us after our return, as well as for his kindness. Our guide Pinda was perfect, answered all our questions and allowed us to have beautiful photos and see the animals up close. A beautiful person with a good heart, always cheerful and incredibly kind! Also a big thank you to the cooks for the effort put into the preparation of all these meals!
I would recommend without hesitation
