Incredible safari experience with Balanta Imagine
I went on a 3-day all inclusive Kruger safari tour in May-2023. What can I say about it. It was our maiden African safari experience and the folks at Balanta Imagine made it totally worth it. Right from the reservation experience till the final drop off, everything was perfect. We were picked up and dropped off on time at Johannesburg by Thapelo. We did 2-half day and 1 full-day safari with Becky. His knowledge of the bush and the animals is incredible and his ability to spot got us to see 4 out of the Big 5. The lodge experience at Kholiwe at Kruger was special. Wonderful 3-bedroom apartment to ourselves (lucky us!) and the most helpful Ester who prepared the most delicious dinners and breakfast. Totally worth the experience and highly recommended.

Amazing safari experience with good food and nice people
We have had an amazing safari experience with Suricata. We saw lots of animals, from which a lot from real close. There were for example elephants (a lot off), lions, baboons, giraffes and buffalo’s within meters from the jeep.
Our guide Mandela was a very nice and relaxed man who knows so much interesting facts about all the animals and the parks. He tries hard to find the places where the animals are located and took good care of us.
The food during the trip was very good. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was different from each other and very tastefull. The chef was so kind and eager to help.
Camping on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was incredible. On the Serengeti plains during the night you can hear the lions roaring. During breakfast a Hyena walked by the camp. In the Ngorongoro camp we were greeted by a big elephant on arrival, which stayed calmly in the camp grazing. In the morning there were nine giraffes walking around the camp.
We would recommend Suricata to everyone! The price of the 5 day camping safari is worth every penny of the experience. Also, the contact with all of the Suricata employees is good and clear.

We had the most memorable family tour as we traveled through the Northern circuit to the Rift Valley parts of Kenya visiting several National Parks,Lake and Reserves.We had a chance to see the diversity of the landscape, culture and wildlife.The tour guide and driver truly cared about us and made sure we had a pleasant experience. The accommodation choices, meals and refreshments were excellent with ever changing and surprising meals on board offered with amazing culinary experience on lake shore.We will definitely be using their services when exploring East Africa!!

Extremely thrilling experience with Tour Guide Steven!
An amazing time we had exploring the Safari! Our tour guide Steven was the best! He’s so educated, patient, and knowledgeable. Not only did he educate us on our scheduled tour regards to Safari , national parks etc, but he also told us more about different historical parts of his country that made it worthwhile to visit. Steven English is remarkable, excellent, & very clear. I recommend this company & especially Steven due to his experience, knowledge, personality, & safeness. He’s a great Tour Guide host.

The best travel in my life
It was a wonderful experience that I could never have had in Japan.
The email communication to Tanzania was quick to reply and smooth. When I emailed them, they sent me a pamphlet, which included information about the tour, what to bring, and the price of tips. They are very kind, but the only thing is that it was difficult to pay by credit card, so we had to send money transfer from our bank.
Also, the day we arrived in Tanzania, we did not have a plan, but Allie introduced us to a tour that take us to local markets, restaurants and teach us about the history. We had a good time at the tour.
We were also able to arrange airport transfers and hotels, so basically we had nothing else to prepare.
We also had trouble dealing with refunds for our flight from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, but they contacted the airline several times.
The lodge we stayed during our safari was beautiful and wonderful. The lodge is surrounded by nature and we saw animals several times.
Hot water and mineral water were provided and all dinner are course meals, traditional or western style. All the food was very tasty, and they of course checked our allergies in advance.
We were especially satisfied with the service at Srikata Boma Lodge. When we told them this is our honeymoon, we were welcomed by all staff with fruits and a great celebration. The rooms were in the Maasai ethnic style, with a view of Lake Manyara from every room, and all the employees were very friendly, which is the highest level of hospitality I have ever experienced in Japan.
The safari was greater than I expected. There were no artifacts and magnificent nature spread as far as the I could see. We were able to see many animals as we drove around by the safari car. Although it was the rainy season, we were able to see Big 5 without leopards, as well as herds of gnus, buffalo, and zebras. Our guide, Izaquiel said there are about 3 million animals in one herd. We enjoyed the guide who explained not only about the animals' ecology but also about the climate and culture of Tanzania. It was the first time for me to have dinner with a guide, but it was a very valuable experience for me as I am not good at English and it was easy for me to ask questions.
I was able to experience the great 5 days safari and it was a refreshing experience.
If you want to experience safari, wilderness and comfortable tour, I would recommend this tour.

Absolutely faultless! Most amazing tour!
Excellent value for money. Saw zebras, lions, giraffes, bufallo, hippos, warthogs, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys, wilderbeast all up close. Communication before hand was great, The whole day ran very smoothly with the guide finding all the right places for spottings and waiting perfect amount of time to appreciate everything. Lunch at the lodge was also excellent. There was also a photographer from the company on our tour who took some excellent photos for us so that we could enjoy just looking at everything and didn’t need to worry about photos.
Everything about the tour was excellent! Would highly recommend

Best safari-experience I could wish for
By chance I booked Bruno‘s Safari-Tour and I‘m very happy about it! Bruno was very personable and tried to fulfill all our wishes (pick up from the airport, book the first night in a hotel, organized a local bike tour, we „decided“ which nationalpark we would like to visit, bring us back to the airport…). He and his guide Dani were a very funny and good team we laughed and learned a lot! We had great 3 days in Tanzania
