Amazing
My experience was incredible. Our guide was Jarold, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, making sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to his persistence, we were able to see all of the Big Five.
Jarold is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and was an outstanding guide. His explanations were fascinating and added so much to the experience, making every game drive even more special.
Going on a safari had always been a dream of mine, and choosing the right company felt like a big responsibility. I’m so happy I chose Suricata Safaris for this unforgettable experience.
Everything was wonderful the safari itself, our guide, the accommodations, and the food.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
What an amazing experience!
Had an absolutely wonderful time on our 3 day mid range Safari. Accomodation, food and service were all excellent. Gerard was an extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful guide, ensuring we had a complete safari experience.

Well organized, fluent trip with professional guide onboard
Highly recommend. We booked a 6 day group safari trip consisting of traveling to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Everything from first to last day by Axis Africa was organized clearly and fluently with no issues or problems during the trip. The guide Peter Kapino was very professional and made us take out most of the safari including the professional driving, showing all the possible animals and views, explanations about them and broader horizon of the safari in a friendly, funny and welcoming way.

One Journey, Countless Memories. Thank You, Michael & Sublime Travels!
From the moment we started planning our Kenya safari until the day we flew home, Michael from Sublime Travels made the entire experience nothing short of extraordinary.
Planning a family safari can be overwhelming, but Michael took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and designed an itinerary that was perfectly paced and never rushed, yet packed with unforgettable experiences. Every day felt thoughtfully planned, giving us enough time to truly soak in the beauty of Kenya without feeling like we were constantly on the move.
The accommodation choices were exceptional. Our stay at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort was absolutely beautiful, with stunning river views, hippos grazing nearby, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it hard to leave. Staying in the club tent at Sarova Mara Game Camp, right inside the Masai Mara, was a magical experience. Waking up to the sounds of nature, spotting wildlife and beautiful birds around the camp, and experiencing the wilderness from within the reserve created memories we’ll cherish forever. Michael then introduced us to another hidden gem, Veilscape Camp near Simba Gate. The spacious luxury tents, warm hospitality, delicious food, cozy bonfires under the African sky, and breathtaking sundowners made it the perfect ending to our Mara adventure.
Every experience Michael arranged exceeded our expectations. Cycling through Hell’s Gate National Park, walking among zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island, the boat safari on Lake Naivasha, thrilling game drives in Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara, and the spectacular sunrise hot air balloon safari over the Mara were all flawlessly organized. Each activity complemented the next, creating a safari that offered adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
What truly sets Michael apart is his incredible knowledge, passion, and instinct as a guide. On our very first evening game drive, he somehow managed to help us spot the Big Five, an achievement we never imagined possible so quickly. His understanding of animal behaviour, birdlife, ecosystems, and the Masai Mara is simply remarkable. Every game drive became an engaging wildlife masterclass, where we learned fascinating facts while witnessing nature at its finest.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip was witnessing the Great Migration. Thanks to Michael’s experience, patience, and exceptional positioning of the vehicle, we found ourselves with front-row seats to one of the most breathtaking river crossings imaginable. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that will stay with our family forever.
As a photography enthusiast, I cannot thank Michael enough. He has an incredible eye for positioning the vehicle perfectly, ensuring we always had the best angle, lighting, and unobstructed views for photography. Many of the photographs and videos we brought home simply wouldn’t have been possible without his patience and thoughtful positioning.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Michael is one of the kindest and most empathetic people we’ve met. Our son was recovering from a fractured hand, and Michael consistently drove with extra care over rough terrain, making sure he remained comfortable throughout the journey. He even arranged special pillows to support him during the long drives. These thoughtful gestures meant so much to us and demonstrated that our family’s comfort and wellbeing were always his priority.
He also went above and beyond to make my wife’s birthday truly unforgettable. From arranging beautiful decorations to organizing a special celebration right in the heart of the African savannah, he transformed her birthday into one of the most memorable celebrations we’ve ever had. It was a magical surprise that we’ll treasure forever.
Michael’s attention to detail extended far beyond the safari itself. He recommended excellent coffee stops, wonderful lunch spots, and authentic curio shops where we could shop with confidence. Throughout the trip, his communication was prompt, transparent, and reassuring. Whether before the trip or during our travels, every question was answered quickly, and every arrangement was handled seamlessly.
By the end of our safari, Michael was no longer just our guide, he had become a genuine friend. His warmth, professionalism, infectious enthusiasm, and sincere care transformed an amazing holiday into a deeply personal and unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you also to the entire team at Sublime Travels for delivering such a flawlessly organized safari. Every booking, transfer, park entry, activity, and accommodation was executed perfectly. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident throughout our journey.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t think twice, book with Sublime Travels and, if you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your guide, you’re in for the trip of a lifetime. We leave Kenya with thousands of incredible photographs, unforgettable memories, and hearts full of gratitude.
Africa has truly captured our hearts, and we’ve already started planning our next adventure with Michael and Sublime Travels. We cannot wait to return.

Reliable and safe for booking your trip
Serengeti Smile came in contact with us through Patricia. She was our main point of contact during the booking of this safari. She took care of everything while still answering all or questions and doubts without much delay.
She appointed Joshua to us as a Guide for the whole Safari. He was very kind to us and told us a lot of details during our Safari. Joshua was very helpful to try to get us to see as many different animals as possible.
We appreciate Patricia’s patience and Joshua’s effort during our trip.

Great experience with Gerald!
We had an amazing experience with Suricata Safaris from start to finish. Everything was extremely well organized, and all the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Every lodge was comfortable, clean, and of a very high standard, making the journey even more enjoyable.
However, the real highlight of this safari was our guide, Gerald. He is the reason this trip became such a unique and unforgettable experience. His knowledge of wildlife is truly impressive, and he has an incredible ability to explain animal behavior in a way that is both fascinating and easy to understand.
What stood out the most was his genuine care for his guests, his attention to every detail, and his determination to make sure we had the best possible safari. He never stopped looking for wildlife and went above and beyond to give us the opportunity to see all of the Big Five. His passion, patience, and commitment made all the difference.
We absolutely loved every moment of this adventure, and I will definitely return for another safari in Tanzania. One thing is certain: it will have to be with Gerald again.
Thank you, Gerald, for your dedication, professionalism, and for creating memories that will stay with us forever. And thank you to the entire Suricata Safaris team for delivering such an outstanding experience. Highly recommended!
