The best Safari tour operator in Tanzania
Our 6 day camping safari with Suricata was really, really great. We saw everything we wanted and even more.
Rocky is the BEST guide. He is funny, friendly and knows so much about the parks and the animals.
Camping was really good, the company selected great camp sites. The food was perfect. Our cook Jamesi prepared fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every meal was delicious.
I highly recommend going on a Safari with Suricata.

Best guide and driver
James was the best guide and driver we could hope for. Very social, explained about all the animals and knew where to find them.
The agency's planning was a little messy as they made some mistakes with our booking, and we're not the most efficient in schedule.
But after all it was amazing and we saw absolutely everything we wished and more.
Big shout out to James!

Awesome Tanzanian safari adventure
We really enjoyed our 5 day northern parks safari with Safari Soles. We saw lots of birds and animals (big 5 included). By the 4th day we’d seen so many big cats we’d lost count. Highlight was a gathering by the river… a large pride of lions including 6 cubs, a herd of elephants (around 40) and a massive herd of buffalo (100+). Our guide Estomih was great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive. I think he was even more excited at spotting the big 5 than we were. Our kids (13 and 15) thought he was awesome! Let’s be honest, on a once-in-a-lifetime safari like this, having the right guide means everything. If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor we’d definitely recommend Estomih and Safari Soles.

Everything is excellent. We give our best recommendations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. And we highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a tour operator in Kenya.
To start with, the booking was easy and hassle free. Steve does a great job selecting alternative accommodations when the originals were fully booked. He was prompt and genuine in his reply and we felt readily warmed up to him with just a few email exchanges.
Our guide Peter is one of a kind. He is the best memory for the safari tour. Peter is highly skilled in his job. With his rich knowledge and excellent animal spotting skills, our game drive was full of learning and interesting discoveries. Peter's excellence goes much beyond a highly skilled tour guide. He cares deeply about conservation, Kenya and Keyans. We spent a lot of time talking and exchanging views. Our conversations are thought-provoking, insightful and genuine. Through Peter, we see a glimpse of Kenya beyond wild lives.

Excellent tour arrangers and operators
You are in safe hands for any tour in Kenya. Our masai mara tour was colourfull and pleasant with Moran.
Amazing Safari Experience
I booked a three day safari with Suricata Safaris for my group and we really enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Max, was very knowledgeable and friendly and the meals prepared by our camp cook were delicious. We were able to see the Big 5 during our tour and we can't thank Max enough for his dedication!

Max was very knowledgeable and friendly
We had a fantastic safari with Max at Suricata Safaris! He's an amazing driver and got us close to lots of beautiful wildlife. The small group size is an added benefit, as we had space to stand up in the pop top jeep. Great trip!

The best guide and tour operator you can meet in Zimbabwe
Our time with Liberty was amazing, excellently organized and unforgettable!
• We had a great contact before, during and even after our trip, so we always felt taken care of and could write to Liberty with any question or problem we had. He was constantly checking in on us to make sure we enjoy our stay and have everything we need
• We spent almost 2 weeks in Zimbabwe, doing 4-day Hwange safari, 3-day Matopos tour and multiple one-day and smaller trips from Vic Falls (including Chobe in Botswana, canoeing on Zambezi, cruise and many more). Moreover, we spoke also about other activities and we can surely say that Liberty can help with organising any trip in Zimbabwe and beyond.
• Liberty went to great lengths to tailor our trip to fit our needs and budget, which we really appreciate. He was a true professional, open to our suggestions and offering helpful tips to improve our trip. He knows great places to stay at and has contacts with one of the best guides for safari excursions, so each day was an amazing experience.
• We were always informed about timings, prices and any details of upcoming trips. Everything was included in the prices we agreed beforehand and we can safely say they were more than competitive in comparison to other operators (excellent value for money)
• We felt safe driving with Liberty and he always showed up on time, with clean car and some refreshments/snacks for the trip
• Professional aspect aside, Liberty is a lovely guy, we had a great time together and a lot of laughs. During our travelling he provided us with a lot of knowledge about the country, culture, current situation etc.
And to finish up – Zimbabwe is an incredible travel destination. Beautiful landscapes, world-class safaris in area teeming with wildlife, very safe and still authentic, not commercialized. Go to Zimbabwe and contact Liberty from Cocoon Safaris and Tours, you won’t be disappointed :)

Exceptional organisation, wonderful trip to Tanzania
My husband and I booked a trip to Tanzania through Clyde at Tailormade Africa, booking it only 2 months before we travelled. I enquired with several tour operators and received a few quotes before deciding on Tailormade Africa - it was little more expensive but we could tell that the quality of the service and trip was much better - and we were not disappointed! Clyde was very responsive, putting together an itinerary in a day or so, answering all our questions, and recommending locations/accommodation in Tanzania to visit. This was especially useful given that it was our first safari. The camp that Clyde recommended was amazing, and one we wouldn't have found had we booked the trip on our own. All transfers and internal flights worked out perfectly, and we didn't have to worry about any of the organisation as this was all taken care of for us.
Some travellers are still concerned about coronavirus when travelling. The camp we stayed at followed all sensible precautions, and we were in contact with few other people given the location of our camp, so felt very safe and stayed very well throughout our trip. In summary, an excellent trip and we look forward to booking our next safari through Tailormade Africa!
