Amazing
Thanks to Silas for the excellent organization. We chose from many options, the one that Silas suggested was the best. He answered all our questions quickly before the safari. Everything was exactly as described in the program. Special thanks to our driver and guide James. He told a lot of interesting things about animals and their behavior, and also chose the best places for filming, predicting the behavior of the animals, was very professional and fulfilled all our requests.

Amazing Safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro
We had an amazing safari experience organized by Jerry Tanzania Tours and can highly recommend them!
We were a group of two families with children between the ages of 8 and 10. Leading up to the safari, we had a LOT of requests, such as accommodating the kids' shorter attention spans and many dietary requirements. Jerry took everything in stride and organized the perfect trip for us. Everything was brilliant from start to finish. Our drivers, Michael and Shirima, were friendly, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable. Every day was perfectly organized, taking into account the weather, our energy levels, the best animal viewing opportunities, etc. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and many more. The lodges recommended by Jerry were all fabulous with great food and service.
This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us and I'm so glad we chose to go with Jerry. Thank you, Jerry and team, for the wonderful memories!

Very responsible and good operator who takes care a lot of their customers
All Safari was great from the beginning to the end. Extra Miles Unique Adventures is a safe and responsible operator. We have nothing bad to say. Our guide Fred came early morning on time to collect us and during 3 days took care about us. In the car there were a lot of water, that was good. The car was comfortable, we could open the roof to see all animals better. We saw lions, elephants , giraffes very very close! Hotel was amazing! I really advise to visit Ashnil camp. I still can’t understand how they organized so comfortable stay in the middle of savanna. Thanks to Fred, he showed us so many animals I have never seen in my life. Could notice that he is experienced driver and knows savanna very well. He knows a lot of information about animals, and answered all our questions. At the end he brought us to the airport what was also very comfortable. Thank you, guys for this amazing experience!

An Amazing African Adventure
Wow! 18 days and every single one included a unique experience. George-owner and our guide-has SO MUCH knowledge and info to share. Every driver was great but Ben was our favorite.
We went to Kenya & Tanzania, 6 different national/private parks, saw the big 5- many times!, spent two afternoons learning about farming and industry in the area.
The weather (mid September into early October) was perfect.
A life-changing experience. I would definitely go back.

A very professional tour operator who was able to prepare a high quality safari for us.
A big thank you to Mirene for the quality of the program she offered us and to Adson, our driver/guide, who was able to guide us throughout this safari, introducing us to all the local fauna. A skillful driver, he knew how to avoid all the pitfalls of the tracks he took.
The accommodations were very clean and of good quality.
All the staff encountered were very warm and showed great kindness.
The food was in quantity and quality.
In the end, a very beautiful trip and an unforgettable memory.

Awesome service and great safari suggestions
I ended up booking my safari in Kenya through another company, but would still like to recommend Antoinette Booyse for any Kenya-travels! I have received plenty of good tips from her, she responds super-quickly and is extremely solution-oriented. She tailored a fantastic trip for us, it was mostly coincidence that made me book with a different company this time. I'm currently waiting to see if they Discover Africa has a Mt. Kenya trek for me, and will for sure contact Antoinette for my next Africa trip.

KIND, professional and trustworthy!
We had the pleasure of going on a private 13-day Tanzania Safari that was planned by Elias and guided by John. Elias went above and beyond in terms of planning, answering questions, and making suggestions and adjustments to our custom itinerary. We had previously been on Safari so we had an idea of how things worked and what we wanted to see, but Elias’s expertise was invaluable in planning a route that would take us through all of the areas we wanted to visit while minimizing travel time and distances in between accommodations. Our accommodations were a mix of lodges and tented camps, depending on the locations, and all of them exceeded our needs and expectations of amenities, comfort, dining and staff. It’s obvious that Elias has a trusted network of partners that he has built relationships with.
John quickly transitioned from guide to travel companion. It was easy to see his passion for where he lives and what he does as he pointed out wildlife and scenery, looking up anything we had questions about in the reference books that he had brought along. John took us to well known wildlife viewing locations, as well as a few of his favourite quieter spots, expertly navigating us from one destination to the next. John’s knowledge and familiarity with the parks, and his keen eye, allowed us to see everything that we were hoping to see, and more. We sat and observed the animals, birds and trees for as long as we liked, never feeling rushed, only grateful to be in such good hands. He also picked the best spots for us to enjoy our picnic lunches. John guided us seamlessly through every transition, from Park gate entries to check-ins at accommodations and domestic and international airports. He simply did all of the thinking for us.
Each park was worth visiting for its own special reason, but our hearts will always remember walking amongst giraffes in Arusha National park; having breakfasts next to the elephants of Tarangire National Park; the birds, plants and trees of Lake Manyara; the abundance and diversity of wildlife and ecosystems in the Ngorongoro Crater; and the serenity and vastness of the plains of Central and Northern Serengeti, where we were lucky enough to see the Great Migration and two river crossings!!
Elias and John are kind, professional and trustworthy. Planning an adventure of this scope and cost mostly by email can be stressful, to say the least. Elias answered every question promptly and thoroughly and walked us through every single step. Once we saw John smiling and waiting for us in the arrivals area at Kilimanjaro airport, we knew that we had made the right decision to invest our time and money with them. We are so grateful to them both for the adventure of a lifetime and hope to travel with them again (and again) in the future. Thank you, Elias and John!!

Super Safari with Suricata!
October 2023
We went on our 5 day safari on the second week of October and it was fantastic. Suricata Safaris was professional and organized from start to finish. We went with them for their fast and prompt replies to our questions and willingness to be flexible to our needs, both logistically and financially. Halima was our marketing point of contact and was super helpful to get the ball rolling.
They picked us up from the airport at Arusha and got us to the hotel to rest after our long trip. We were fully briefed by another point of contact from the company and ironed out all the logistics. They were very transparent with some of the last minute changes they had to make, which turned out to be for the better, including an upgrade to one of our lodging sites!
The tour was conducted by Rocky. He was amazing not just as a tour guide but also as a human being. He took care of our group and always made sure we were safe, comfortable and well accommodated throughout the entire tour. He went out of his way to serve us our meals and was attentive to all of our needs. The tour would not have been as amazing had it were not for him- always happy and upbeat and very knowledgeable. Thanks Rocky for helping our group create so many unforgettable memories!
Kudos to all the staff behind the scenes to make our accommodations and lodging comfortable and safe. The food was exquisite and delicious! Thank you!
After our 5 days we stayed at the hotel and they drove us to the airport the next day to our next adventure in Africa.
If you need to have a safari tour, I highly recommend Suricata. I can not thank them enough to make our dream of having a once in a lifetime chance to go on a safari memorable and awesome. Hakuna Matata! Asante sana!
