An amazing safari in South Luangwa!
It was such a good experience booking my trip with Ntanda Ventures. Sonja was very responsive and organised a great trip based on my budget and preferences. I had a fabulous stay at Wildlife Camp and was very fortunate to have lots of excellent game sightings. I've already booked my next trip with her!!

They were professional, efficient and tailored our package according to our interests.
Thank you for a seamless booking experience and one curated around the things that we enjoy and appreciate. The service was incredible and the trip was worth every penny.
Mandy recommended that we visit Moremi Crossing and Mma Dinare and after hearing our interests in Wild Dogs, she added Lagoon Camp to our itinerary. I am glad that we got to see 3 camps, as each one was a unique experience.
The water levels at Moremi Crossing were not high enough to do a Mokoro trip, as the floods had not yet filled the minor channels, but the game drives were incredible and we had many water crossings in the 4x4, which was really exciting! We could also visibly see the water levels rising each day, with more and more animals coming as the water levels rose over the 3 days. A really special experience. The highlight in respect of sightings was a resident leopard who gave birth to a cub near the staff accommodation and we were able to observe them at almost each outing. Another highlight was the variety of birdlife at this camp. Listening to the birds at night was a great lullaby.
Mma Dinare – Our best sightings were around this camp. The 2 animals on my “never seen before” list was a honey badger and wild dog and both were seen near this camp, which was the highlight of our entire trip. We could also do a mokoro trip here and were blown away by the abundance and variety of birds during this expedition, as well as the knowledge of the poler when it came to bird and animal behaviour.
Lagoon camp – The highlight here was definitely the tracker and guide combo. Their skill and expertise was far superior to the other camps and even though our sightings were equally good at all camps, the ability of the tracker to find exactly what we were still missing from “our list” was unbelievable! The location of this camp is also amazing. We literally had hippos and elephants on our doorstep.

Thanks
I had 2 great trips with Zimto, to Mikumi national patk and Udzungwa mountains. The prices were fine and I would defenetly definitely recommand Isaac as guide and Novaty as driver, a very professional team, during safari we were able to spot all animals before noon.

Great detailed service from start to end of trip. Funny guides and trip was well planned.
Before the trip, they helped us plan every detail and had great suggestions for trips and hotels/lodges. When we got there we were picked up at airport and driven to our hotel.
During the trip, they kept us informed about practical information and actually joined us on some of the trips, were they had amazing knowledge about Uganda, the people and areas we were in.
The hotels and lodges they recommend are great, with excellent service and standards.
All in all a great company to use for a once in a life time trip, only have the warmest recommendation.

Very reliable agency!
My holiday couldn’t be better and that’s only thanks to Marvel and his team!
Before my holiday started. I’ve been in touch with Marvel for some time as I added some more things and even days. My holiday took 7 nights in Victoria Falls and 1 nights in Botswana. Whatever I asked for their answer was always “we can do it”. Even after I paid for my holiday I found something extra I’d like to do and they found a space in my itinerary and book that in advance for me!
Not only every transfer was on time, but Marvel texted me every single time 10 minutes after I was supposed to be picked up (and I always was!) to make sure that I was picked up. Even when my activity started as early as 6am!
Their personal advice and service is another great things. Marvel took me to see the city even if that was in my itinerary. We had a couple beers in local bar. He told more about the city and he really showed interest in making sure that my holiday will be just perfect! (Not something you’ll get with some big agency).
All accommodation was great and hospitality in Victoria Falls is really lovely everyone is smiling and you can feel that happy energy , you’ll never feel unsafe there.
This team (agency) really like what they do and are prepared to make your holiday special. They even gave me a present when I was leaving. You just know that every customer is important for them!
I’d like to thank you guys one more time for making my holiday unforgettable and if I will ever book another holiday to Vic Falls - only with you!

Beyond the safari, there's a wonderful staff
The experience made with Suricata Safaris is one of a kind. On this adventure we were lucky enough to have Mandela, an exceptional guide, serious, respectful, cultured, always ready to take care of his group. There are no words to thank him for his help and work. The safari is perfectly organized: the time spent in the parks, the breaks to eat and go to the bathroom, the quality of the structures that will welcome you for the night, the food you will eat, the safety they will transmit to you. For those who want to experience a unique adventure, in contact with nature and the authenticity of the Savannah, I can only recommend traveling with Suricata. Even the staff who will follow you in booking and informing about the safari deserves a mention, they are all very polite and kind. Best tour operator in the area.

Incredible experience, amazing guide
Excellent value for money. The tour guide Omar is one of a kind. He is very knowledgable, funny and very hospitable. He ensured we were able to see the big 5, whilst ensuring everyone felt comfortable and at ease. You can tell he is extremely passionate about the animals and what he does and that only enhances the whole experience.
Food was provided by Chef Simba and was very tasty.
Camping was a great experience (next to the Zebras) however, very basic, not the cleanest facilities but it does the job. Prepare that the crater is extremely cold.
Organisation during the safari was excellent, however beforehand there could have been slightly more communication.
Would definitely recommend to others, and can only hope everyone gets the chance to sit alongside Omar!

Magical Masai Mara
What an amazing experience from beginning to end, I cannot recommend enough. Brilliantly organised from the moment we booked to arrival back to our hotel. Jimmy, our driver and guide, was wonderful, not only did his game drive delight us in seeing all of the big 5 and scavengers, his warmth, knowledge and consideration meant we always felt safe and at home. Our accommodation was authentic, traditional yet catered for all necessities: the food was delicious and the staff accommodating and friendly, the tents were very comfortable and clean. Truly amazing
