An unforgettable journey
Everything was perfect! Rocky was our guide. He made sure we had an unforgettable trip. Musa cooked for us and also accompanied us on the adventure. The food was excellent. Rocky and Musa were simply amazing. I am very grateful that they were a part of our adventure. There was not a single problem and everything was perfectly planned and organized. I can only recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone.

Great communication ans service
Amazing experience & Great Staff
5/5
We had a great experience with Justus of Great lions safaris. The communication from Great lions safaris was great and we felt very looked after the whole time. Our Tour Driver Justus was very knowledgeable of the local surroundings and had a great passion for his work. Justus went above and beyond for us and was very accommodating and worked very hard to get all our needs met including when we fell ill and had to go to the doctors, Justus took care of everything and rearranged things for us so we wouldn't miss out on anything. And also he helped us out after hours after our tour had finished, our flight got rescheduled unexpectedly and we were left at the airport but he came to the rescue and arranged airport transportation and accommodation for us even though he didnt have to. We found all the accommodation staff to be very friendly and welcoming too. The food was always delicious and there was always plenty of food all day. We would highly recommend this tour and this tour group to everyone and we are very Thankful that we chose Great lions safaris

Incredible Tanzanian safari with suricata
This may have been the best experience of my life. We booked a 5 day 4 night camping safari with Suricata. We contacted Suricata through safaribookings.com and Glory reached out to us within 24 hours. Communication with Glory was very prompt as she always responded within 24 hours and mostly responded very quickly even after Business hours. She answered all questions I had and made me feel comfortable booking this safari. We even had a late change of flight and Glory was able to accommodate for that and arrange for airport transfer. Additionally we stayed an extra night in Arusha and glory organized that with no problem. Upon arrival Daniel greeted us at our hotel and explained the itinerary for our stay and gave us an incredible city tour of Arusha which I highly recommend. He took us to an African art gallery, a local restaurant for lunch, the markets, and a few other spots around town. The tour was amazing and Daniel did a fantastic job. We then went on our safari with Edgar. He was in incredible guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. He was even able to fix our safari car when there was a problem. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. For example when we were camping in ngorongoro it was cold and he got us extra sleeping bags. He always knew where the animals were and we got to see everything we wanted thanks to him. The food was also incredible. Tito made fresh food every meal. We saw that Other companies served packed lunches but The Suricata chefs prepared fresh food for us which was much appreciated. We are vegetarians and the chefs accommodated for us and there were plenty of options for every meal. In fact us and the other campers always looked forward to the meals almost as much as seeing the animals! Upon arrival back to Arusha, Daniel greeted us and organized transfer back to the airport with no problem. Despite booking the budget option i was amazed by the comfort of the campsites and the cleanliness of the public bathrooms and showers. We even had hot water 3/4 of the nights. I would 100% recommend Suricata and when I come back to Tanzania I will definitely book with them again.

great food, knowledgeable guides, seamless logistics, affordability, kind people, amazing views
This truly was the best travel experience of my life. Communication with the company was easy and quick. This was followed by a seamless airport pick-up (despite a change in travel plans 24 hours before). Daniel gave us a tour of Arusha on the day before our safari, which included a visit to a local restaurant, a visit to the biggest art gallery in Tanzania, a guided tour of the market, and more! He was so nice and personable and tailored his tour to our interests. We then did a 5 day safari which exceeded all of my expectations. Our guide, Edgar, was able to answer every question we asked him. He communicated with the other guides to help us find every animal I hoped to see. And we got so close! He knew exactly how to angle the car to get the best views. The variety of parks, animals, and landscapes is unmatched. We elected the least expensive camping option for accommodation (one of the most affordable safari packages we could find!). The washing facilities were clean and even had hot water. The tents came with sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and pillows which were surprisingly comfortable. The views from the campsite were amazing—one overlooking the Serengeti with giraffes walking through the sunset and one overlooking the Ngorongo crater with the worlds most beautiful fig tree in the center. At night we heard the buffalo grazing nearby. The last campsite also had a pool. Finally, the food. It was delicious!!! Three hot meals a day prepared by our talented chef Tito. Each meal included fresh fruit and vegetables. My friend and I are vegetarian and there were so many options for us. My favorite dishes included vegetarian lasagne, breakfast pancakes, leek soup, and roasted potatoes. At dinner, a bottle of wine was provided as well. It was also so fun meeting fellow travelers from across the world on our tour. To sum it up, this was an incredible experience and I have zero complaints. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for great food, knowledgeable guides, seamless logistics, unrivaled value for money, kind people, and an unforgettable vacation :)

Amazing safari trip!
Safina and her team have organised us a wonderfull experience. We had the chance to have Kevin, a french speaking guide with us. He brought us to really nice places, he was very nice and shared with us his knowledge about Tanzania. The places we slept, the food we ate and the people we met, everything was perfect for a very correct budget. We saw lots of animals and amazing landscapes, Tanzania is really a nice country...
Thanks a lot Serengeti African Tour, we are very glad to have travelled with you, we will never forget you. Babu, bibi, Muriel and Guillaume

Wonderful
Thanks to Safari tours for giving us a wonderful experience. From the beginning everything was very easy with them, the communication, the organization, the staff, the transportation, the meals, the stay, the tour guide, especially the knowledge and attitude of the guide who made our safari the best, we were able to see all the animals we expected and even more. We learned a lot and had fun every day. A 100% recommended company. We are sure that in the future we will do another safari with them.

Capable of squeezing all the juice from the lemon
We asked Dav Safaris to squeeze a lot into our two weeks in East Africa. We told them our budget. We were pleasantly surprised when the itinerary was sent back to us with more than we’d asked for and on budget.
The experience itself outstripped our pleasant surprise hugely!! The wildlife was incredible and we saw all the animals we hoped to and more. The excursions were a mix of cultural, fun, beautiful and invigorating. The accommodation was at worst good and at best lavish!!!!! And our guides were fantastic.
We loved it so much that we’re trying to work out when we can book another Africa trip

An unforgettable adventure!
In February we were able to enjoy a private photography safari through Tanzania visiting the Ngorongo, Serengeti, and Taranguire National Parks as well as a trekking along the foot of Kilimanjaro and Lucas made our trip an unforgettable experience. From the first moment he was very attentive and involved in ensuring that we could observe and photograph the animals from the best perspective. A great professional!!
Super recommended!
Asante sana kwa kukaribishwa kwako Lucas

A perfect safari experience
We took the 5-Day Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous Game, Walking & Boat safari. The booking process was easy, and that included a minor change to the itinerary and a flight at the end to Zanzibar, really helpful from the initial enquiry.
Both Patrick (covering Mikumi and Udzungwa) and Elly (covering Selous) we're superb and really added to our enjoyment of our Safari. Their passion and knowledge (and humour), and their eye for spotting the animals was incredible, we just don't know how they saw some if them whilst also doing the driving! They both took us to some great viewing spots, and none ever felt busy with other tours.
Accommodation and food was good throughout.
We said it would be a once in a lifetime experience, however, we enjoyed it so much, we do plan to book with Shammah Wonders again.
A huge thank you from the both of us.
