Was a pleasant trip
We ordered 1 day before the safari via whatsup. Everything went quite smooth. We got a pickup at the airport, hotel before departure, hotel after comming back from the safari amd transport to the airport which we upgraded by having the guy to take us to the waterfall under kilimanjaro and visit a coffee farm where we made a coffee from the bean to the cup and had a banana wine. Very nice experience.
In the safari we’ve visited Serengeti, Ngoro-ngoro and tarangire. Except rhinos(which we saw from very far) we saw all the big animals and the experience was amazing.
Be prepared to be in a big jeep on the very bumpy roads with not much chance to get out of the car in the parks due to the park policy. The whole safari is very tiring. So get ready. But its really worth it!!!
We slept in the tents which was also very cool. Above ngoro ngoro there came in the night buffalos right in between the tents and serengeti we had few hyenas walking through the camp. Super cool:)
About suricata all thenorganisation was very easy, all was taken care of and the food was thanks to the great chef amazing! Everything what was promised was fulfilled
To give a recommendation If we went again we would choose a to go just 4 of us and driver and a chef. We went in 6 plus the tqo surricata guys and the car was a bit packed. Not really a problem but if we would have a bigger bags i think we would be squeezed.
We enjoyed the trip a lot with surricata and highly recommend this company

Perfect 2 week honeymoon.
We booked our 2 week honeymoon through Anya and from start to finish she was so kind, helpful and gave an all round excellent service - we couldn't recommend her highly enough.
We had a vague idea of a route through the Eastern Cape to Western Cape in mind but Anya recommended places to stay (and reasons why), activities to do and was on hand to answer any questions we had very quickly, including changing plans last minute. She even sorted extra bits for us such as arranging to have someone collect us in Johannesburg to help transfer us to our next flight, she recommended several places for NYE and booked a restaurant for us and even managed to get us an upgrade on our car.
Our luggage was lost from leaving London (through no fault, except the airline) but Anya made sure we were sorted and OK, even though she was on her own holiday outside of South Africa.
All of our accommodation was excellent (we're rating them all 5*) and the safari was simply incredible.
To be honest we were slightly anxious about booking with a local company, but we can't recommend the company and Anya highly enough.

Great Budget Safari
We chose a 5 day safari that included Masai Mara, Lake Navisha and Amboseli and opted to extend to 6 days. A few things to keep in mind when booking your own safari 1. The mini vans used for the safari are not the most comfortable and 2 people out of a possible 8 will NOT have window seats (but will have access to the roof). 2. They are not four wheel drive so if there is a lot of mud you WILL get stuck. 3. There is a lot of driving between parks (4-6 hours depending on where you go).
Our guide Albert was great. He took into consideration what everyone in our group wanted to see and paid very close attention to the radio to make sure that we didn't miss anything. He was also a fantastic driver.
Our accommodations were a mixed bag. Lenchada Tourist camp has a baboon problem and several tents have holes in them where the monkeys sneak into during the day. The food and staff there were great though.
We also stayed at Navisha Resort, which was fantastic. We were able to take a boat to crescent island and walk around with the animals. Definitely a MUST do if you are tired of sitting in a car. In Amboseli we stayed at Kibo lodge which was a luxury camp site just on the boarder of the park. Gift shop was over priced and we had the worst bloody mary from the bar- but everything else was fantastic and the perfect place to end our adventure.
Over all, very good value for the money, well worth it.

Great experience on the Northern Tanzania Circuit!
I highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers for your experience in Tanzania. I selected the 4 day, 3 night Northern Tanzania safari and it was great. My communication with African Savannah Trekkers was good with fast, clear responses. They delivered on everything that was promised in the trip outline. I found their website to be more precise than others where they specify certain trips for a certain price.

Amazing Safari Tour Service ❤
First at all, I want to show my appreciation to this magnific Safari tour that in all the tour they had an incredible service in all the senses. Me and my friends we had 3 days safari with Smile With Us and from the first day we had very good connection with the driver and the cheff (Thanks Amani and Erasto), they explain to us everything about the animals and spots that we had during the trip. The cheff was awesome with all the breakfasts, lunchs n dinners. People was jealous from us for having such an amazing meals jajaja TOP!. #Erasto number 1. The driver was totally good in the whole trip. We enjoyed so much with him, his pattient and good humour with us for taking pictures everywhere and talk about everything of the safari was very good. He struggled a lot to search the best animals around for looking at them. The jeep is super comfortable, the roof is nice to have other views. The windows is ok. Generally, the car is perfect for the tour. Thank you so much Amani. Finally the conection by whatsapp with the guy fixing the planing and the options for the safari was very good. He answer really fast and help in everything u need if u have doubts about the trip. So if I have to give a rate to this marvelous team is 100 of 10. I truly recommend this team for ur future adventure. From all my crew THANKS!

Phenomenal day trip in Chobe National Park
My friends and I did the one day safari at Chobe National Park with Aritsamaye Safaris, and we are so happy we did! Communication with the company during the booking process was smooth and hassle-free. They also made sure to contact us again a few days in advance of our excursion to make sure all the details of pick-ups, drop-offs, etc. were in place. The safari itself consisted of a few hours on the Zambezi river and a few hours doing a game drive in Chobe. We saw so many beautiful animals during each part! On the river, we saw hippos, water buffalo, crocodiles, many birds, waterbuck and more. During the game drive, we saw elephants up close and so many giraffes that we lost count. We even saw a leopard! Our guide was awesome and went above and beyond in trying to make sure we saw as many things as we could. He also shared many interesting facts about each species along the way. The lunch at the lodge was incredible! Some of the best food and dessert I have had, and lots of it. Overall, we were thrilled with our time with Aritsamaye and we hope to book with them again in the future.
