An unforgettable experience with the perfect provider! Definitely recommended!
I would like to say one thing in advance: I would recommend Suricata to friends and family anytime, because our expectations were more than exceeded. We had an indescribable time on our four-day safari to Tarangiere, Ngorongoro and Serengeti (a varied and absolutely worth seeing itinerary), during which we felt super comfortable. Suricata does everything to create a perfect experience for the customer. With all our questions, requests and problems (choosing the right payment methods) we were helped by Mr T and our tour guide Ezekiel (the best! Funny, friendly, very good driving skills even on difficult terrain and super knowledgeable about wildlife) helped us quickly and very customer oriented. Everything went exactly as booked by us in advance. Our tour group was made up of people of the same age, we had a lot of fun together. The accommodations (mid-range) were indescribably beautiful and the food and service were really great. I would book with Suricata again anytime, it was worth every penny and the right organizer for an experience that should be simply unforgettable and was for us - also thanks to Suricata.

Absolutely brilliant!!
Such a brilliant experience, it was all arranged with James over WhatsApp. He was such a gracious host and guide, from collecting us from the airport, the drive to Mara.
We stayed at the Enkorok Mara Camp which was brilliant, the staff were super friendly and attentive, the food was also excellent.
The actual tour was magical, James knew the pack very well and we got to see a lot of animals, in fact, on the very first day of the tour we saw a pride of lions!! We also got to visit a local Masai village which was very educational and eye opening.
Thank you James for an experience of a life time, the trip was definitely value for money.

the tour operator Frank was very
my wife and I wanted to travel to Tanzania and explore part of the Serengeti. We planned this trip by researching the different options available to us on the internet. We came upon Serengeti Smile website and Frank the owner communicated with us directly. This company organised a private guide and driver in a well equipped 4 x 4 vehicle, accommodation in the Marera Valley Lodge and the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge. The guide Champion spoke fluent English and was very informative. There were very good reference books appertaining to animals and birds in the vehicle for us to read. A picnic lunch which was very good was also included in the game drives. The hotels that were chosen for us were of an excellent standard. We also requested that we do a coffee tour. This was an amazing experience. Overall, this company organised a high-end tour for us. We will contact Frank again to organise more safaris in the amazing country that Tanzania is.

Diligent and friendly
Even though we book last minute, they catered to all of our requests and we had a great few days of safari. Yasin was very knowledgeable and always make sure we were enjoying our trip. Our highlight was Lake Nakuru.

More than I expected
The overall experience was great, I was lucky to see the big five. The suggestions of places to visit was really helpful, the rides were excuisit and the drivers were always on time, explaining every single creature in details. I feel more knowledgeable about the wild than I was when I first visited.
Would I use jocky tours again? You bet I will

A day well spent in Moshi!
In a group of five, after our breakfast, we had booked to visit Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hotsprings on a one day excursion. We saw the famous Mount Kilimanjaro and hiked to the Materuni Waterfalls. We also learnt about the chaga tribe, local coffee and local banana beer making factory. If it was cool to see how alcohol can be made from very basic fruits and the taste was really magnificent. We then drove to Chemka Hotsprings for a swim. The booking process was smooth with Lilian and the guide Andrew was so friendly and informative, we learned some few dance moves to some Tanzanian songs

Fantastic 5-Day Tanzania Experience
We asked Kenan Travel & Tours to organise a ‘Mid-range, 5-day Tanzania experience’ at short notice based around our tight travel schedule.
Our contact, Jennifer, designed an excellent holiday which included a 4-day safari and a 1-day cultural experience. The price included everything we required including transfers, accommodation, all meals and drinking water, 4X4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof and park fees. Email communication with Jennifer was excellent throughout and payment was straightforward.
Our guide for the 5 days was George who met us at Kilimanjaro Airport off our early morning flight and drove us straight to Tarangire National Park for our first safari day. George’s knowledge of Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area was excellent. His driving experience in these vast, seemingly endless, parks was invaluable because he had no maps and we were dependent on his knowledge of the network of tracks to get us to the best wildlife viewing locations. We were soon ticking of all sorts of animals and birds and over the 5 days saw the ‘Big 5’ as well as dozens of other amazing animals and beautiful birds.
We stayed at 2 tented camps (Burunge and Katikati) and at both the service was friendly and welcoming, the accommodation excellent (huge beds, ensuite showers and toilets) and the food was tasty and plentiful. Our final night was spent at the beautiful Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge where most of the food served in the restaurant is grown on the farm and it was delicious.
If you are looking for a memorable Tanzania experience, I recommend Kenan Travel & Tours.

An excellent experience!
I approached these guys at pretty short notice for a two day safari, which was shorter than most regular offerings but all I had time to do before attending a meeting. I wasn’t disappointed- they put together a custom itinerary for Tarangire and Ngorongoro that perfectly suited the timing and the weather. I saw everything that I could have dreamt of and more. The scenery and wildlife were stunning, the wildlife was spectacular, the accommodation excellent, and my meeting colleagues jealous as none of them were able to get the weekend off to come! Highly recommended.
