Excellent team! Once in a lifetime experience!
My husband and I did an 8 day hike via the Lemosho route with the team and had an excellent experience! Our guides, Omary and Frankie took really good care of us during the hikes and made sure we were prepared every day with what to expect on the hikes. It would not have been possible for me to summit without their help and support throughout the summit day. The entire team of porters, cook, server made sure we had a wonderful, warm and memorable experience throughout! Thank you to the team and Suricata safari for making this once in a lifetime experience possible for us!

A great various safari tour!
Very good 7days Safari (Massai Mara, Nakuru with the guide James, who did all was possible for us to spend amazing time in wonderfull National Parks. He made sure that we were always where we needed to be at the right time which allowed us to see spectacular animal actions (hyena fighting, lion hunting etc). And his driving was very careful, which here is remarkable! And was always helpful in stopping when we wanted for photos. The vehicle was a little too full on half of the safari (8 people), that's the only downside... Thank you for this good time!

Superb Suricata Safari
We took 3 day 2 night Serengeti /Ngorogoro camping safari. Absolutely superb service throughout from airport pick up to return.
Guide was very knowledgeable and cook prepared special vegan meals at the camp sites. Plenty of food and good company with the other campers. I am in late 50s so was apprehensive about staying in a tent but enjoyed seeing the stars over the Serngeti The company can organise a lodge so are very flexible.
For a budget traveller this was a really good experience for a once in a lifetime experience without a hefty price tag. Contact the team if you have any questions but you will not be disappointed with Suricata.

A safari to remember
We have spent a wonderful time with our guide Saleh in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw both the big and ugly five and even a cheetah hunt, albeit an unsuccessful one. ;) Special thanks belongs to Saleh for his superb service and extensive knowledge about the nature. We'd like to especially highlight his careful driving, we always felt safe. Thanks again!

Great safari
We spent 3 days in Rwanda and trekked to see chimps and golden monkeys, then spent 10 days in Uganda, where we trekked to chimps and gorillas and did a week of safari. The wildlife was awesome, and Derrick, our guide/driver in Uganda is the best of the best in finding wildlife and driving on often difficult roads. In addition, he’s engaging, knowledgeable and an all around pleasure to travel with. It was an exciting, fun and memorable trip.

John is thoughtful and it was really an unforgettable trip EVER!
John is very professional and responsible. Although we are not English native speaker, he always teaches us patiently. We learned lots of things about Kenya from him. It was really an unforgettable trip EVER!

Knowledgeable and Thoughtful would be the adjective I would describe of John.
The whole journey is very smooth.
We enjoyed the knowledge John told us, for example the wild animals, the history, the basic information about Kenya, and so on. He is like a professor to us for the past few days.
John is always friendly and patient. As we are not from an English speaking country, he would explain until we understood what he meant. In this case, I would say the communications are very clear.
In turns of the service, John is very thoughtful. He prepared everything that we might need. For example, when we went for a boat trip & walking safari, he prepared the drinking water for us. Not to mention the game drives, the binoculars are provided for us to observe the wild animals.
In conclusion, I would like to highly recommend John as all my family members enjoyed this trip a lot.

Professional in every aspect
I contacted a number of tour operators for my safari to Masai Mara. Shanjoy had the best package and price that suited my budget. Originally it was a 3 day tour, I wanted an extra day and Patrick from Shanjoy was able to make this happen. Communication with Patrick was extremely professional and Patrick tailored the tour for me. Patrick organised the flights, safari and airport transfer, in addition Patrick was able to recommend suitable hotels for me to stay in Nairobi. Patrick was also able to advise me on entry and exit requirements into Kenya.
The whole experience was 5 star, absolutely perfect. The Tipilikwani Mara Camp is fantastic, meals were first rate and all of the staff were wonderful. Tom was a fantastic guide and we saw so many beautiful sites. Speaking to the other guests at the camp, they all had wonderful experiences as well. Patrick from Shanjoy won't let you down. I highly recommend them.

Understanding my interests & concern, tour guide did enough to make my tour best.
Communication for preparing tour was quick and precise. Tou guide well understood my desire and did best to realize it within limited tour duration and limited range of destination. Along the tour, he had lectured much not only about nature but also society and culture. The price was reasonable for value.

The guides was extremely knowledgeable
The vehicles were of high quality, and the guides drove us extremely safely.
We stayed in four separate places, all of which were spotless and inviting.
They responded quickly to our enquiries and provided excellent advice and direction.
We had a fantastic experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Kubwa Five Safaris.
