2021 Safari - Tarangire / Serengeti / Ngonorogoro
We began our safari on Jan 1, 2021 in hopes to put 2020 behind us. I found Gosheni Safaris online and was immediately impressed with the attention to detail and “little extras” that were offered on the trip. I reached out via e-mail and had a response in about 24 hours - Peter was easy to work with and customized a trip for my 9 year old daughter and I that worked within our budget and dates we were available.
The safari we chose included Tarangire Reserve, Serengeti National Park and Ngonorogoro Crater - a chance to experience all of the animals that you can see on an African Safari. It included accommodations with tent lodges and the final night stay at the Farm House.
I booked the trip and we arrived in Arusha from Zanizibar. We were met at our hotel in Arusha on the first morning of our safari and was immediately put at ease by our guide Ombeni. He was genuinely interested in making our trip fun and enjoyable and was great at communicating what we were going to be doing and seeing and offered tips to help us find the wildlife as we were exploring.
All of our bookings at the lodges was handled and our guide had lots of local knowledge of the area and we were able to see the big 5, and the only thing we didn’t see was a cheetah (not from lack of trying!).
We were impressed with the experience, felt safe riding in the “safarimobile” as it was affectionately called by my daughter. Every detail from keeping the vehicle clean, knowing where the possibilities of finding the animals were, to communicating well with us during the trip was looked after.
Between the booking process and the end of our safari, Amsterdam changed their covid transit requirements and Peter and Ombeni made it possible to find a place to get covid tested in Arusha at the end of our safari. This small gesture was greatly appreciated and made traveling in 2021 much easier!
I would highly recommend both Gosheni and Ombeni for a future safari!

A memorable experience!
We have just completed our 4 day safari through the National Parks of Kenya. Every minute was enjoyable right through to the end. Our guide/driver Jonathon was very informative and made our experience a memorable one. The accommodation that the company organised was exceptional. One of the hotels was closed due to the pandemic so they organised an upgrade for us that was fantastic. All the staff we met were very friendly and could not do enough to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. We would 100% recommend Explorer Kenya for your safari needs. They certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Robert for organising our trip and Jonathon for helping us with our photographs and providing us with excellent binoculars to spot the animals.

Last minute 10 day private tour Rwanda
I had a great time on this tour. More importantly they were flexible to my needs and managed to smooth the travel issues in Covid times.
Rwanda is very well organised for travel right now. (currently a night curfew but given my day activities I was happy for an early night).

Amazing experience
My first planned booked got cancelled, so I looked for something else quite spontaneous. I send in a request looking for a Tsavo East Tour two days later and less than 24 h later I got a response via mail and a WhatsApp message. Even me being away during the day was no problem and the payment and further planning was set for the evening.
The payment worked out well, the WhatsApp contact was friendly and supportive.
The next morning I got picked up on time and the luck to be the only one on the tour (probably one of the rare good things about COVID).
My guide Omar was amazing! He shared all his knowledge with me and even went to the Sheldricks with me, just because I love elephants so much. It didn’t work out in the end, because you need a form to get in, but that’s what we didn’t knew beforehand.
The lunch was amazing, everyone was very friendly and charming.
Definitely worth a visit! I can only recommend it!

Fab!
Enquired with quite a few Safari tours before finalising with Suricata. And it was a good gooood decision. Right from picking me up from the airport in Arusha, checking in the day before the Safari, everything was smooth.
The Safari itself started early morning from Arusha, and we had two people from Suricata with us (Lewis, the guide + driver & Yassim, the fab cook) and on day 1 itself we got the taste of whats coming for the next 3 days. Got to see a pride of lions. Lewis has a sharp sharp eye, given his years experience, and he would, over the course of next few days tell us about every animal and bird and Masai tribes in detail. For someone like me who's always curious, it was just wonderful to know it all, so, thank you, Lewis. We'd then camp for 2 nights at different locations and Yassim (hope I am getting his name right) would make some kick ass meals for us, all the three times during the day. Suricata took very good care of us during the course of the Safari and the best part, we got to see THE BIG 5! Lewis really went to great lengths to make sure we get to see various animals, never losing patience and asking us idiots to do the same as well :)
Would definitely recommend Suricata for your Safari to anywhere from Arusha, I did Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Lovely lovely experience.
PS: Do carry your own booze in case u plan to drink at the campsite.

First Safari Experience
BOOK AHEAD! i booked the day before and even though the site shows full day minimum, they only had seats available for the morning, so unfortunately, i didnt get much of a discount for only booking the half day ride. Dont let this happen to you and book sooner than i did!
The safari was a wonderful experience. I was at first a little upset that i wasnt able to sit next to my girl, but sitting next to the driver was also nice getting a front row seat and getting to ask questions as he drove. We spotted rhinos, impalas, ostriches, waterbucks, blue wilderbeasts, zebras, and a giraffe. The only 2 animals we unfortunately did not come accross in the 3 hours were lions and elephants. But i definitely plan to return and spend a longer time on the reserve. It was everything i wanted it to be.

Professional, extremely good value and great fun
I cannot recommend Karibu Safaris enough. I had a fantastic experience climbing Mount Kenya, with a professional team and a really excellent guide who made the whole experience hugely enjoyable.
From the word go they made everything very straightforward, with food, accomodation and travel all sorted.
Not only this, but they were around half the price of most other providers, but you would never guess it.
