Our Guide was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw and took good care of us
I had an amazing time! we did a 3 day safari with a boat trip and two game drives. We were picked up in Dar es Salaam and brought directly to the camp, during the drive we had some lunchboxes. The food during our whole stay was really good! it was also no issue to request vegetarian and vegan food options. The camp itself was nice and quiet, there even was a pool. I also felt very safe the whole time I was there and all of the staff there are really nice. For me the best part of our safari was the whole day game drive. We started in the morning right after breakfast and came back after sunset. The park is full of giraffes, Impallas and warthogs as well as many other animals. We were not lucky enough to see the big cats but that was no issue for me at all. I was already very satisfied with the amount of animals we saw. Staying in the car the whole time was also very comfortable as the roof can be opened a bit which means that you can stand up during the drive and look outside to take better pictures for instance. If I ever visit that park again I will probably book the same package as I really got my money's worth with it.

They offer high quality Service and have amazing staff.
We booked a low-budget safari from Tarrain Tanzania Safari, but it was not feeling like that. We got an amazing service. We got picked up in Dar es Salaam by our guide and he was doing the whole safari with us. Even the chief just came for us. She cooked amazing and more than enough food. She cooked vegetarian and even vegan food for us. It was no problem at all if we had any wishes to customize our safari. It was definitely worth it!

Excellent Team
I would like to send out my appreciation and gratitude to the whole team at Rwizi Africa Expeditions. Superb and reliable even after having had to arrange our trip with them at such short notice. Special mention to Robert for being such an excellent guide all throughout our trip's journey.

Caring, clear communication and nice people!
Me and my husband spent 6 days during our honeymoon with Zohar African safaris. We really enjoyed our time, we were in contact with several companies beforehand but choose Zohar since their great communication via email (with Lilian) that answered all our questions, tailor made after our wants and needs and came with great suggestions. During the time on the safari we had a very nice and knowledgeable guide named Boniface. He made it personal and didn't feel so "touristy", he listened to our needs but were also clear in his recommendations. We got nice food and snacks during the whole time and many fun surprises during the safari trip so it really felt unique and that Zohar and Boniface really made a big effort for us to get a memorable honeymoon and vacation. Would recommend everyone to go with Zohar African safari!

Knowledgeable, safe and ridiculously incredible food!!
Our guide was Mandela, he's very calm and professional and very knowledgeable as well as genuinely caring about people, environment and wildlife. To be able to spot the wildlife life and drive is such a skill and he has it in abundance. Very glad we had him at the helm. Forgive me for the spelling but our chef Puce? truely amazed us. What he could cook in the middle of the serengeti with only the equipment in the truck was mind blowing. 3 courses from scratch every night, homemade bread and a mixture of European and local food. His talent seems to have no end. We honestly couldn't get over it. As the others on the truck were in lodges and we camped we asked him to join us for dinner and had a really lovely evening with him on the final night. A big thank you to him for that. We felt so lucky having them both with us especially when the lions were nearby and swished a tail on our tent in the middle of the night!!!
The vehicle was spotless and well maintained with two fuel tanks. Cold water was offered everyday (don't bring water bottles as they are the big plastic ones-no other way of them doing it currently). The seats have pouches for the water bottles, phones and binos/cameras for each person and all the seats are comfortable with lap seat belts. If you have long legs go for the middle seats.
The tents are set up for you on arrival, they provide clean pillows and sleeping bags on comfortable mats. The sleeping bags are a bit tired but are warm and clean which is all that's needed. Take flip-flops for the showers or just go with the opinion that you will get dusty every day so you can miss a few days. Our first campsite had a pool so take your swimmers (we didn't but they are more than happy for you to go in shorts and t-shirt). Also take some local money for drinks there and at other stops. Some of the campsites are lacking in toilet roll so it's worth taking a roll with you to ensure you don't get caught out! We were surprised how few mosquitoes we're there compared to what we expected. Also definitely don't forget your torch!! Wildlife is wildlife so you never know what you will see but we were extremely lucky to see the big 5 plus a serval cat and cheetah too. At one point we had a leopard infront of us in a tree with it's kill, a black rhino opposite and giraffes nearby....360 wildlife!! . We were very, very lucky. The transfers were all smooth with no issues. Our luggage was safe left at the hotel. Just to note not to go out after dark in Arusha walking and to get taxis. Just ask the reception and they will help. Suricata does do a walking tour which would be worth doing. On the day of our flight back the hotel was great and drove us to the heritage centre with the biggest art gallery in Africa, close by and perfect for a couple of hours before the flight. It's also free entrance. We would definitely recommend suricata for anyone looking to do a safari, we went the budget way but the others in the lodges really enjoyed those too... But they didn't get the lions walking past them! On the last day as we were leaving the Ngorogoro campsite there was a giraffe and a buffalo heading inside so you never know what you will see!!
Also to note, suricata do a follow up feedback meeting at the end of the safari to make sure you are happy. This was a really nice touch so thank you.
Last of all a big thank you again to Mandela and Puce for giving us memories that will last forever!

Super professional and excellent!
We have visited Uganda, together with my partner. Our first time in Uganda, so we were very curious about the Pearl of Africa. What an amazing country! Thanks to Sander from Grassrootz, and thanks to our professional guide Barnice, we have made an unforgettable journey in Uganda!

Came as a client and left as a friend!
Our journey with Bobby Tours, from the climb on the 6 day Machame route of Mount Kilimanjaro, following the camping safari was an absolute delight.
The stunning views of Serengeti and Ngorongoro were made memorable by Mandelas team's knowledge and enthusiasm. We were able to see all the big 5 even though we opted for the rather short 4 day safari.
Bobby Tours' organization and attention to detail were very reliable and allowed us to enjoy our trip absolutely carefree. We highly recommend Bobby Tours for an exceptional adventure in Tanzania. Thank you, and the entire team, for an incredible journey!

Nice and we will introduce to our friends
I think it’s good and worth it. No matter the food or the experience both good,except the campsite it’s quite cold and kind of messy. But it’s not the company problem.
Also our manager is very good. No matter what problem we have she will help us to fix it. our guide is helpful and really passion. The bicycle tour at Lake manyara is amazing too. But lake manyara car safari feel just soso after we have been to so many places .
Further all, We will introduce to our friends, if we come back. We will find them again.
