impressive, well-organized tour in the wilderness
5/5

Charles, our guide always made sure we got the best of our tour. He told about the life of the wild animals and tried to show us the version of their diversity which he did very well. We've all seen the big 5 and a lot more .
The accommodations were always clean and the food was delicious.
There would be better solutions for the water supply. We had the small 500ml water bottles. Over 5 days there is a lot of plastic waste. Maybe larger bottles like 1.5l and stations in the accommodations where the water can be refilled.
Many thanks for the unforgettable days, I can recommend this organization with a clear conscience.

Affordable, high value experience - highly recommend!
5/5

The entire team was incredibly friendly and prioritized our safety and experience. We were happily surprised by the quality of the three warm meals per day - they were well balanced nutritionally and absolutely delicious! The crew who did camp setup and takedown were a well oiled machine. Aside from setting up our sleeping bags and packing our day packs, they took care of the rest. On the trails, we felt like we were led by guides who had years of experience and were true experts of the terrain. During difficult sections, they quite literally would hold your hand if you needed some extra support. Overall, we were very impressed by the service of the crew. Specifically, there was one member assigned to serving our meals and filling our water bottles - he actively anticipated our needs and went above and beyond to fulfill them. Despite various levels of English, many crew members made an effort to interact with us and enhance our trip. We would recommend this group if you are looking for an affordable, yet high-value experience.

An incredible experience, with great service, great people, and great sights.
5/5

When I first read the reviews for Suricata I didn’t think they could be true - over 1,000 5-star reviews just seemed impossible. After spending 5 days on safari which took us through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara, and seeing all of the big 5 as well as cheetah and lion cubs and a baby rhino, I understand. Our driver, Rocky, was amazing, funny, talkative and extremely knowledgeable, giving in-depth facts about Tanzania, the animals, and the parks, as well as answering every single question I had. The accommodation was also excellent, with every hotel or tent having a private bathroom and a large bed. The food prepared for us was great and the flexibility offered by Suricata was great (for example, my flight was early in the morning after the final day of safari, so Suricata booked a hotel room and a driver for no additional cost. The 5-day tour provides great value for money, and I especially recommend staying at the Boma lodge, the brand new hotel built by Suricata that rivals some of the best hotels I have stayed at with its private bungalows and great food. Overall, this has been an amazing experience and I highly recommend Suricata to anyone thinking of doing a safari.

Iddy was professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
5/5

Where do we even begin?! It is difficult to put such an amazing experience into a simple review. After researching many different Safari Guide options for our Honeymoon in Tanzania, we decided to book with Iddy at Samora Explorers, and we are so, so happy that we did. From the start, Iddy was easy to work with, responsive and made us feel very confident that we knew what we were getting and made the right choice. Right away, he sent us a professional, detailed daily itinerary with lodging and all additional details, which we found very helpful. After getting married, we jumped on an airplane, very tired, in the US and made the journey to Kilimanjaro airport where Iddy picked us up right away and brought us to our first hotel in Arusha. From the start, he was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable, which was a huge relief after our wedding followed by a 24 hour trip from Boston. We knew we made the right choice. From then on, Iddy was amazing. This would be my 4th Safari and I can say it was definitely the best, which could not be possible without Iddy and Samora Explorers. He took care of everything. The vehicle was cleaned everyday and in great shape. He always had food, drinks and everything else we may have needed. Meals were fresh and served daily. When others had premade boxed meals, Iddy always provided fresh "home cooked" meals, with plenty of water, sodas, wine and beers. We didn't have to think about anything. Each day, he picked us up on time from our lodging, which Samora Explorers sets up for you, and we went on amazing Game Drives. Samora Explorers knows the Serengeti and all other National Parks like the back of their hand! They are true experts! We saw tons of game, and the Big 5 in one day. We also recommend doing the HOT AIR BALLOON and BUSH DINNER, which Samora Explorers will set up for you and include in your itinerary. The Hot Air Balloon was the highlight of our trip! We can't say enough about Iddy and his crew at Samora Explorers. You will NOT be disappointed! We left our Safari with an amazing experience, a ton of pictures and memories, and an amazing friend in Iddy. Book this Safari now!

Excellent service and value for money
5/5

We just completed a 5-day mid range group safari tour of 4 national parks in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara) with Suricata Safaris. The experience was amazing, more than we had dared to hope for!
Even before booking this tour the communication with Hilary was easy, and we were taken very good care of by our excellent guide Silas, chef Tito, Mr T who picked us up from the airport and Daniel who took us on a walking tour of Arusha the day we arrived.
Guide Silas was very friendly and shared us his extensive knowledge of the national parks flora and fauna. He rose to the challenge of showing us all Big 5 animals, and much more!
The accommodation at Serengeti and Ngorongoro Ang'ata tented lodges was excellent, we highly recommend! At night you could hear the animals and you really felt like on a safari, even though we didn't go camping. Accommodation at Suricata's own brand new Boma Lodge by Lake Manyara was luxurious. The huts, the pool, the restaurant and the bars were excellent, with a lot of attention paid to detail.
Thank You very much Suricata Safaris and our fantastic group for the experience of a lifetime!

5/5

Vincent and my Guide, Issa, made my 6-days trip completely wonderful!
I was going for a 6 days trip in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Chimp tracking, Gorilla trekking, and a relax day in Lake Bunyonyi. From the beginning, Vincent made sure to respond to all my questions by being very available. He also adjusted the trip to my needs and interests, and even suggested various options of budget lodge. I felt really included in the process and was informed of every steps. They were always on-time and were very attentive to my interests during the trip!
The budget accommodations were all wonderful, very comfortable, clean, and with great food!
I would completely recommend this company for Ugandan tours!

Thanks again, Ecovic Tours!!!

An amazing experience we’ll never forget
5/5

David and the team were absolutely unreal. The guides were so helpful and very knowledgeable. The game drives were something to dream of as we saw all the big 5 and so much more. David was very very helpful with any questions we had and to add, the food provided was SO good and freshly cooked. HIGHLY recommend dancing Simba for your safari. There are a ton of accompanies out there but dancing Simba is definitely the company for your safari. 10/10 awesome job David and team.

Fantastic Service and Value
5/5

I had an amazing 3 day trip to Murchison Falls courtesy of NF Safaris! Communication with the company was excellent, with a personalised itinerary being sent to us well in advance of the trip. Transport to and from the MF NP as well as around the park on game drives was very comfortable and felt extremely safe at all times. The accommodation they arranged for us at Hornbill Bush Lodge was of excellent quality, with all our meals catered for to. The arrangements made for game drives, visiting the falls and cruising up the Nile were all fantastic and a truly amazing experience. I have to personally thank our guide and friend Jackson for really going above and beyond to ensure we got everything we could out of the experience! 10/10
