The experience of being able to live close to the animal world is simply incredible!
South Africa really surprised me in every way: cultural, human and animal life!
The safari experience is an incredible experience that must be experienced by every person in the world ... it is a unique moment where you see up close how the animals live and hunt. It is a trip for all types of travelers: families, couples, seniors!

Real wild life worth visiting once in your life
The Tour Company called "Suricata Safari" is well organized for both a tour coordinator and a guide/chef.
A coordinator visited our hotel one day before the tour, explained whole schedule (I joined 5 days tour, 5 people group) and preparations as well as the last day after I return for review everything was fine.
During safari tour 5 days for Tarangire, Lake Manyora, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, a guide and chef made me so comfortable and friendly relationship. I do appreciate their all day effort, tried to find big 5 animals, explain about nature in safari also cooked hot/fresh meal every single time.They also managed to build up tents which guests slept in and tried to understand what guests mostly like to do there. (recommend local suveniors, meals and teach local language)
I definitely recommend choosing "Suricata Safari" and will be back Tanzania safari to have touch experience with wild animals as well as Suricata Friends there.

Outstanding experience, Maasai Mara is stunning - the animal viewing, the sunsets, everything
The wildlife is abundant in Maasai Mara. The scenery at Lake Nakuru is quite different from the Mara, but it's worth the trip. We opted for a 4x4 and it was well worth it - I wouldn't want to do the drive to the park, and the game drive, in a van. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept in contact with other guides to ensure we saw the Big 5, and then some.
The food at our accommodations was good. We felt well taken care of. The food on the way to/from Lake Nakuru was ok. It was tasty, there just wasn't much in the way of selection.

Amazing!
Benson’s safari could not have been any better. Everything was organised to perfection and we felt really looked after. Accommodation was great, our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable and we saw the big 5! What more could we ask for?

One lodge was more than expected but the other was less.
I have seen much more wildlife in the Serengeti and Masaai Mara and even Kruger. I was extremely surprised at that because I thought Botswana was going to have many more animals. My one lodge Mapula was terrific. Great food, staff, amazing tracker/guide, beautiful room. It was 41 degrees on one day and 39-40 on the others and the was little to help the heat. The fans in the room were over the seating area only. That could be improved, but otherwise lovely place.
The second place (crocodile teeth? in the local language) was much lower level. On our orientation in this semiarid place we were told that there were a number of big scorpions seen in the camp and that we were to be careful because they were extremely poisonous. I understand we are in Africa, but I would have thought there would be more responsibility on the camp staff to be watchful to rid the camp proper of scorpions. The tracker/guides were not great; the least knowledgeable and least excited guides/trackers of any safari I have been on. (An I have been on a good number throughout Africa). The food was not very tasty at all, edible but nothing exciting. We had to travel 2 hours from the airport and 2 + hours each way to get to the animals. That was a lot of driving. Also, we had lunch in a place that turned out to have ants in the sand and many of us had many ant bites with very itchy feet that swelled from the number of bites. I expected much more from Botswana given the hype and the cost in comparison to other great safari experiences.
