This tour was simply fantastic! Lucky to be with Lucky!!!
We visited Okavango Delta for a 3 day tour with Kalahari Marsh Safaris. Communication with Lucky on behalf of the company was the best, well represented, very efficient in responding to our mails, without complications or misunderstandings.this Tour was our first experience, it was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations we saw different aspects of Botswana s wildlife. Our guide TT did the best to show us all the animals we wanted to see. Memories we had will stay with us forever. We highly recommend them

excellent 3-day safari from African Pangolin
We took the 3-day 2-night Mikumi/Udzungwa tour from African Pangolin. We were originally booked for this tour in May 2020, but all travel fell apart with the coronavirus, and we had to cancel. Mansoor from Pangolin was great with communication leading up to our 2020 ticket, and then also when the trip got cancelled. We stayed in touch, and when 2023 gave the green light for the tour, we booked again with Pangolin and were very glad to finally be able to make the safari. Mansoor is professional, prompt, and personal in setting up the experience. Highest recommendation.
Our driver/guide for the safari and trekking adventure was Zakaria. He speaks English very well, is a great driver, and has very deep knowledge of biology, particularly of the large animals, birds, and plants. Zakaria is a personable guy who made for great company for three days. The Land Cruiser we rode in is a very tough vehicle that could handle all the road conditions. Everything was very safe.
The safari itself was a fantastic experience. It was the late stage of the rainy season, but we were fortunate that we didn't have rain. The parks were almost empty of people, and just full of the big animals. They were everywhere; very little time passed between encounters. I suppose we were quite lucky, but the adventure was everything we could expect and more. Many, many giraffes and zebras, sometimes together. Impala, eland, water buffalo, warthogs, baboons, wildebeest, jackals, crocodile, monkeys, hippopotamus, many birds. Two lions together, right next to our vehicle, that we observed for a long time. Close-range elephants. Amazing looks from the Land Cruiser.
The hike up to the falls in Udzungwa the next day was very nice, if a little challenging on the way up. It's a long drive to and from Mikumi NP, so we had a chance to see a lot of village life in rural Tanzania that one does not see in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar City. The mid-range accommodations were quite comfortable, and the meals were very good. Safaris are quite expensive, but this 3-day expedition was good value for the money. Great driver/guide, great service, reliable company.

Amazing Safari experience
I joined the 5 day safari tour and it was amazing from start to finish. Booking with Suricata was very smooth and easy. Hillary, the owner, was very quick to respond to all my queries. Overall, everything went as planned.
I booked a mixed accommodation - 2 nights in lodge & 2 nights camping. To my surprise, i was upgraded to stay at the newly built Suricata Boma lodge and it was excellent. It just opened and according to them, I was their second guest. I was literally the only guest during my 2 night stay and everyone was so accommodating and helpful.
As for the safari tour, I was lucky to be part of an amazing group headed by our excellent driver/guide, Rocky. Rocky was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to provide good details about the safari, what to expect and he was able to answer all questions. We were also able to see the Big 5.
I highly recommend Suricata Safaris. They’re truly the best in Tanzania. They go above and beyond what is expected. I’m definitely booking another tour with them next time I visit.

Efficiency plus - very prompt replies to any queries, and well organised trip
This was probably the best trip I have had - booking was straight forward, any queries were answered very quickly. The transport to and from Johannesburg was on time and comfortable. We had a tent (ridge ) , which was 5 star glamping - very roomy, AC, Kettle and tea/coffee, very spacious bathroom and shower, and there were no signs of any insects at any time.
The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - and we saw all the big 5 - all the guides around the park would check with each other as they passed as to where animals were : the food was of an excellent quality; and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.
it was a friendly atmosphere with all the guests , and we have kept in touch with some of those we met, and still meet up periodically to talk about our trip.
The trip was certainly very good value for money, and I would recommend anyone thinking of such a trip to take the Mzansi Experience.

Perfect Organisation and very helpful.
Many thanks to luca and david for the great organization and implementation of the hike.
I chose the marangu tour with an acclimatization day.
It was a great experience. Despite that we hiked at the start of the rainy season, we had very good weather conditions and the huts very also not very crowded.
The team was carried out including a cook, three porters and a guide (in German on request). the team gave me very good support and advice. I was particularly amazed at the quality of the food. delicious and varied dishes were prepared (there was always more than enough to eat).
The communication before was very good and easy. I was even able to rent missing equipment from David at fair prices. All in all, I would be happy to recommend the company
