Amazing experience, reliable company, professional, knowlegeable and fun guides!
Our 5 day group Safari was a truly unforgettable experience. Being safari novices, my friend and I didn't really know what to expect, but Suricata Safaris exceeded all our expectations!! Hilary, the manager, patiently answered all our questions beforehand, and Ali gave us a warm welcome and briefing on arrival. A VERY special thanks goes out to Mandela, our amazing guide and driver on our safari. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and funny. He made sure we spotted all the animals the parks had to offer, drove super safely and on top of that, was extremely nice company to be with. His laughter is contagious! We had very interesting chats over meals. Shoutout also to our fellow travelers who became something like a family after the 5 days travelling together. Suricata seems to care deeply about its employees, and they all seem to have a good rapport with one another. Needless to say, the food was extremely delicious and we seemed to be one of the few groups with hot meals each day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The lodges that Suricata works with are stunning and the people managing them were absolutely fantastic. If you are hesitating between many offers, look no further. Suricata is your way to go.

Just an incredible experience, for a very competitive price, we just loved every single piece of it
We booked the tour a couple of months before departing, not having much experience about Safaris. The tour that was described sounded really good and we were actually surprised by the good price. Ultimately the trip was just exceptional, even better than what we would have imagined. The guide, Yasin, was perfect and put so much effort into showing and explaining us everything. The car is very comfortable and the accommodations with the food are really great too. Last but not least, the organization of the whole trip was outstanding, everything was taken care of perfectly.
Reuben is such a star, he was such a plug for the game drive, comfy tents and pocket friendly camps.
If your looking to have a fun time by yourself or with fam! Crimson Brookside has got you!

unforgettable memory with Steve
I went with Steve for a 9-day Kenya Safari trip. It was a lifetime unforgettable memory. Steve arranged all our lodgings and game drives very thoughtfully. He took care of everyone in the group. Steve cleaned land cruiser frequently and made it very comfortable for us. We have seen most of the animals in Kenya Safari in his tour. Someday I will go back to Kenya, I will definitely ring his number.

Wonderful nature, amazing culture and people, an absolute must to visit place!
3 days safari in the Krueger is an absolute te must to get in tune with the beautiful nature this country has to offer. A wonderful unforgettable experience to see all the aninals in the wild, never get tired of it!.. But 3 days are enough. Even staying outside the Krueger is ab3fine and in fact you get to experience more of local life.
Makebsure to spend enough time based in Cape Town. I stayed 9 days there did plenty of excursions and still there would have been more to see further east. Wine estates are a must and totally worth the visits to Stellenbosh and Franshuuk, in Groet Constantia make sure to do the chocolate pairing too!! The bitanical gardens are stunning as are the panoramic drives and cape point, the whales at Hermanus d multiple sites filled with history. Cape Town itself has lots to offer from food to museum to night life.
People are what makes this place special and wonderful.
A place to definitely put in everyone's travel list.. I can't wait to go back!!

Best experience ever!
It’s hard to put down in words how unique our safari was when me and my husband got married by masaai, I saw a lion 3 meters away, we saw a leopard sleeping on a baobab tree and we’ve had the best guide possible (Kisali), providing us with the best informations, trivias and help. Everything went just perfect, it’s only bad that it ends. Serengeti smile made our honeymoon transcendental.

Interesting, the animals were incredible.
Tanzania was great. Animals were spectacular. Our guide Perfect was absolutely wonderful! Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater were fabulous for animals and pictures. I would possibly try a different area of the Serengeti, a long drive from where we were to get to the interesting parts where the animals hang out. The food was not that great but considering the location it was acceptable. Unfortunately you get pretty much the same thing everyday for lunch, cold pasta and cold rice. Dinners were a bit better but not wonderful. All of the people involved were very nice, helpful, professional and accommodating. The rooms were clean. Some of the places used solar panels for hot water so if there were too many tents hooked to one panel they ran out of hot water. I would definitely go back again. The weather was great.

Exceeded all Expectations!!!
Francis was such an amazing host, he was kind, fun, knowledgable and very well organised! He was prompted with communications, planned a route specific to our needs and was great value. The accommodation he organised were absolutely stunning, he took every opportunity to make our trip special and didn’t shortcut anything. His local knowledge and friendly attitude to everyone was evident each day. The Safari drives he took is on exceeded all expectations, we saw so many amazing animals and feel so lucky we chose Francis.

So much more than I had ever imagined!
I had such an amazing trip. African Traits was with me every step of the way. We communicated for months before the big day. I was all kinds of worried about every little detail. Godfrey assured me he could take care of everything-- and he did! From being picked up at the airport, to being brought back three weeks later, there was always a hospitality professional right there to get me where I needed to go. My climb up Kilimanjaro was a once in a lifetime event. My guide and crew were totally awesome. They got me to the summit and down again, keeping my safe and very, very, well fed. The guide/driver who took us on safari was extremely knowledgeable and had the eyes of an eagle. He found every animal I wanted to see, and a whole bunch more. The accommodations on safari were so far above my expectations, I couldn't believe it. I recommend this company to everyone I meet.

Very professional safari operator who really takes care of you and your needs
We booked a honeymoon safari from Lion King Adventures. From among numerous options, we ended up choosing them based on the great amount of positive online reviews.
They definitely are worth of the given 5 stars, as everything went brilliantly from planning (thank you Pendo and Nickson) to execution, thank you Lion King!
Lion King's nice guide Height met us at Kilimanjaro airport. We wanted to start the trip in a relaxed way by exploring the surroundings of Kilimanjaro, so the first day's program included visiting Materun village and from there to Arusha to rest before the safari.
The next morning, our safari guide Goodluck came to pick us up from the hotel and our safari experience began. Our safari included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All the sites were amazing, big thanks to Goodluck, who is a very professional, super friendly and has a great sense of humor. He really knows a lot about the animals, even the direction they are going to next. A true animal wisperer! Goodluck made sure we got to see all of the “big five” during our safari. Challenging situations, such as a flat tire due to the rocky roads of the Serengeti or getting stuck in a muddy road after rain, did not cause any bigger problems as Goodluck took care of the situations well and got us to the camp safely.
He also has a huge knowledge of the nature and animals which allowed us to get a lot of additional information about the flora and fauna, which was greatly appreciated.
I can highly recommend the Lion King Adventures safari and especially Goodluck for your safari guide!
