A perfectly executed trip.
I was planning my first safari experience, and for that I set some requirements since I had no idea how good or bad this experience would be for me, but I would have to have at least a certain level of comfort. So I created a list: I didn't want to be in a group with many people in the vehicle, I wanted to visit different parks and do different activities, I wanted to visit different countries, I wanted comfortable accommodation with hot water, 24-hour electricity and full board, if it had wifi, even better. In addition, I wanted to be able to relax at the end because I believed that a safari marathon would be tiring, so I would need to end the tour on some paradisiacal beach. Logically, all this with an agency with a certain name that could inspire confidence in being able to do all this.
Since I'm from Brazil, agencies that can put together a tour like this at a reasonable cost are practically nonexistent, so I started searching online and found only rigid, pre-packaged tours, or luxurious ones that would be beyond my budget. Fortunately, with a little more effort, I finally found a package that could be tailored to my interests through Tapestry of Africa Tours and Safari.
Without knowing what to expect, I contacted them and was promptly assisted by Dr. Matt, who gave me all the necessary information and confidence. We adjusted routes, accommodations, and activities, always with transparency and excellent service. In parallel, I sought more information about the agency, which worried me because it was relatively new. What I found were positive reviews, evidence of a regulated and approved agency by government bodies, social work supporting local people and no record of significant problems. In short, a great green light to give them a thumbs up and book our two weeks package with them.
During the pre-trip process, I gained more confidence in the quality of Tapestry's service because of all the tips, recommendations, and guidance on what to do and expect from the safaris. I left home already knowing that they would welcome me upon arrival, provide telephone contact, and got alternative contacts in case of emergency. Upon arriving in Kenya and starting our tour, everything was perfectly executed according to plan. Jeep safaris, bicycle , boat , hot air balloon safaris, each with its own unique characteristics and thrills. Our guide and driver, Boniface, besides being kind, helpful, and tireless, had an eye for finding animals hidden dozens of meters away that we could only see much later and when we were much closer. Finding the Big Five and the Ugly Five was just a matter of time.
After our safaris in Kenya, we went to Tanzania, where our guide and driver, Josephat, did not disappoint us, same energy, spirity and keen eyes. Although we had already seen the main animals, we told him that in Tanzania the counter was reset and we would start looking for them all again. And neither Tanzania nor Josephat disappointed us; we also found the Big Five and the Ugly Five. To finish, we went to Zanzibar and rested from our safari marathon by the beach at the Breezes Resort.
However, to end on a high note, we did one more safari, but this time an underwater one. And to our surprise, the seabed in Tanzania is a great place to visit as well. In just 2 dives we did, we found several fishes and creatures that are normally difficult to find. Seahorse, leaf fish, nudibranchs, octopus, ghost pipefish, cuttlefish, etc. In addition to them, dolphins during the rest between the two dives.
In summary, a perfectly executed trip.

An unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience
My friend and I completed our first-ever high-altitude climb, at Mount Kilimanjaro, and it was truly a dream come true!
A huge part of making this incredible journey possible was the exceptional support of Nafika Tours, who arranged our climb via the 7-day Machame Route.
Words can hardly describe the amazing experience we had. From the very beginning to the moment we reached the summit, everything was exceptionally well organised. We had the most wonderful, friendly, and supportive crew who made our stay at every camp comfortable and enjoyable. By the end of the trip, they no longer felt like just a crew but like one big family.
The tents were clean and comfortable with separate dining and sleeping areas, and everything was well-organised each day. The meals were delicious and well-balanced, honestly even better than my own home-cooked food! Every little thing was taken care of, allowing us to focus on the climb and enjoy every moment of this amazing adventure.
A special and heartfelt thank you to our incredible guides, Eli and Efatha. Their experience, encouragement, and expert guidance made all the difference. They tailored the climb to our pace, supported us through the challenging moments, and helped us achieve our dream of reaching the summit. Honestly, we cannot imagine having made it to the top without them. Their dedication and belief in us gave us the confidence to keep going especially on the summit day.
Thank you, Nafika Tours, and the entire team for making this journey so special and for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you’re dreaming to climb Kilimanjaro and looking for a team that genuinely cares about your experience, Nafika Tours is the way to go! Their professionalism, warmth, and incredible support made our adventure truly unforgettable.

Excelent trip
With Eky's knowledge of the area we have been able to see all the important animals that are living in Serengeti and Ngorongo. We also enjoyed the nights that we have slept into the wild with the living creatures passing by our tents.
Eky, Thank you very much for answering at any questions that we had.
Eky, Thank you very much for the patience, the hospitality and all the hard work that you do to please the tourists.
Thank you for all the team Suricata Safaris for this enjoyable tour of the wildness from our planet.

An Unforgettable Safari
Our safari with Suricata Safaris was an absolutely unforgettable experience! A special thank you to our guide, Aki, who made these days truly extraordinary.
Aki was incredibly professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the terrain. He knew exactly where to take us to encounter an amazing variety of animals in the most breathtaking settings. Thanks to his experience and deep understanding of the area, every day brought new and exciting wildlife encounters.
Beyond his expertise, Aki genuinely cared about our comfort and happiness throughout the entire safari. He made sure we were enjoying every moment and went out of his way to make the experience as special as possible. His driving was also exceptionally professional and safe, navigating all kinds of terrain, natural trails, and challenging roads with great skill and confidence.
We felt safe, well cared for, and amazed by everything we saw. This was so much more than just a safari — it was a truly magical experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
We wholeheartedly recommend Suricata Safaris, and especially Aki, to anyone looking for an incredible, professional, and memorable safari experience. Thank you for making our adventure so special!

Fabulous 3 day safari
Just had a fabulous 3 days with Jordan and chef James.
Jordan navigated the Serengeti and Ngorongoro conservation areas with expert knowledge. He identified animals and birds making the experience even more enjoyable. When Jordan realised we were also interested in the birds he made a point of stopping and showing us them.
We saw more then I could have hoped, all of the “big 5”, but for me most exciting were the hippos and giraffes and many beautiful birds of prey.
Is like to thank James too for the lovely food - breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was always plenty to eat and drink.
Everyone at the campsites were so welcoming and friendly.
A beautiful safari I will never forget.
