with uroadventure I made an impossible dream come true
It wasn't easy for me to make this trip to celebrate my retirement. Getting on in years and not even in shape but I found Antonio who was able to understand my doubts and organize a tour perfect for my needs. Culvety.e Omi with Erik, with great professionalism and friendliness, guided me, taught me, protected me and helped me. For six days through the large parks up to the Serengeti, choosing excellent solutions but in particular the Intimate tented lodge allows for an unforgettable experience of nature. Uroadventures also organized two weeks for me in Zanzibar. I wanted to visit the whole island which is very different from north to south. Air transfers by car, hotel excursions, everything impeccable, always punctual and excellent guides. I therefore recommend uroadventures for the professionalism of all the staff

For an unforgettable holiday in Tanzania, you can't beat Conservation Caravan Safaris!
This was my second time in Tanzania and I was looking for an adventure outside of a typical safari. Conservation Caravan Safaris listened and crafted the perfect trip for me that not only included one of my favorite stops - Zanzibar - but also some amazing new sights including the breathtaking Usambara Mountains, Mafia Island (where I swam with whale sharks), and Saadani National Park - the only park in Tanzania where you can see elephants, lions and hippos on the beach!
Conservation Caravan Safaris took care of everything from start to finish. Accommodations were comfortable and meals were top notch. The Irente View Cliff Lodge in Lushoto was a personal favorite with beautiful views and a fantastic avocado salad!
My guide, Ombeni Maka, was personable with a deep passion for and knowledge of his country, it's wildlife and unique culture. He made sure I felt comfortable and safe and went out of his way to be flexible and accommodate my needs.
I highly recommend Conservation Caravan Safaris for your African adventure - an unforgettable experience from safari to the sea!

Amazing safari experience
Just spent an amazing 8 days safari with our guide Edward who went above & beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Each day was perfectly organised & we had the best time. We saw almost everything we had hope to see.
Thank you

Suricata is perfectly organized, reliable, and 100% recommendable
We did the 3 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was the best experience ever! Everything (pick up, trip, accomodation,..) was perfectly organized by Daniel. Our tour guide Rocky was really friendly and knew a lot, we could ask him anything and he showed us so many interesting animals and places. We saw the big 5 and so many other animals, my highlight were lion cubs

Interesting, knowledgeable, easy going, comfortable
We had Victor be our driver from Nairobi to Amboseli and back for 3 day, 2 night tour. It was a 4-5 hr drive to and from Amboseli but the conversation with Victor about Kenya made the time go by quickly. It was amazing and eye opening to experience the life of an average Kenyan throughout the drive in the city, small towns and countryside. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge with great service, pleasant staff, comfortable beds, and decent food. Nice to have a pool. We enjoyed Hemingways Bar and the bartender. In the late afternoon and all day drive Amboseli we saw beautiful Mt Kilimanjaro and many animals with the elephants being the highlight. We feel the price was reasonable for our family of 4, including a 12 and 10 year old, since we had Victor all to ourselves. We recommend Victor and Majestic tours for your next Kenya Safari. Joseph made the booking process easy too.

Awesome safari tour company, and amazing trip!
I highly recommend African Big Cats as your go-to company if going for a safari. It was my first time ever doing a safari, so didn't know what to expect, and took a chance on this company, and did not regret it! My partner and I did a luxury 6 day safari. It was one of the best weeks of my life. African Big Cats Safaris really took care of us and made us feel safe, welcome, and comfortable the entire time.
The owner Emmanuel was very kind and explained everything very well. He gave us a briefing before the safari of how everything would work and also a debriefing for feedback after it completed.
Our guide Karim was awesome. I would request him again. He has 15+ years of experience and really knows the behavior of the animals, better than many animal researchers know the animals! He would predict the animals behavior before it happened, and was always right. He was an animal genius. Not to mention, he was a very kind person and family man with a good heart who was always looking after people, whether he saw somebody on the side of the road who needed help with car problems, to other safari jeeps needing directions, to making sure we had everything we needed, he was always looking after people! He was also a good driver and had the perfect skillset for a safari guide. Highly recommend him.
The lodges we stayed in were top notch and all very beautiful. Luxury in nature. It doesn't get much better.
Overall, this was a great trip and I can't recommend African Big Cats Safaris enough. I hope to go back next year and use them again!

The experience was too good to be true
The safari was one of the most amazing experiences me and my wife ever had. We stayed at the tented lodge and went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We saw all big 5 and even three rhinos. Suricata are extremely professional and knows what good service is all about. Rocky was our guide and he was just outstanding - the most friendly, knowledgeable and funny guide we’ve ever experienced. The food from Salim was too good to be true, we fell in love with the local food. We also took the city tour in Arusha with Swaleh before going on the safari, which was a lot of fun and great to see a real African city from within. We had a serious thought about any development areas but couldn’t come with any - we will recommend Suricata to all our friends!

Exceptional, absolutely perfect, you need to book with them if you want the perfect Safari
I don't even know where to begin to describe my incredible Kenyan safari experience with Safari herd, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Prior to getting there, the Sheldrick Trust baby elephant orphanage was fully booked unfortunately & we really wanted to visit. Patrick the managing director somehow managed to book us in as he didn't want us to miss out, which was fantastic! He also ensured our stay in a preferred lodge despite them being fully booked, both of which we were very grateful for.
After a long journey to Kenya from the UK, we were met by Patrick. A very personal touch, not something ive seen before. He came to make us feel welcome & to introduce himself. I was very impressed from the get go, Paul our Safari guide was lovely.
They had been waiting for hours for our arrival, we were met with warm & welcoming smiles & words. Patrick was very lovely, he made us feel very welcome, comfortable & made sure we knew we could go to him if we had any problems.
On our transfer to our hotel, they made sure that we didn't need or want for anything. What a wonderful start, it give us a warm feeling.
Immediately on leaving the airport, they started pointing out some of the wildlife & we saw Zebras.
Here our journey began, Patrick & Paul made sure to point out anything that was of interest, any landmarks & wildlife.
We were taken on our visit to the baby elephant orphanage which was just a truly heartwarming experience, I totally recommend it. Paul was great to have conversation with, incredibly hardworking, professional & helpful.
We made our way to Amboseli National Park. Paul made sure we had plenty of bottled water & juice for the entirety of our Safari, this was very welcome & great customer service, Safari Herd ensured our welfare was well looked after & made sure we had everything we wanted.
Paul pointed out lots wildlife, including a herd of 4 giraffe.
Paul made sure we were comfortable, ensuring rest stops on the way & answering any questions we had, it was clear he was very knowledgeable.
He was very organised, ensuring we knew times for our game drives & we were happy throughout.
He informed us we would be doing a taster game drive on the journey, that was an understatement!
We saw so much wildlife - Zebras, wildebeest, warthogs & so many elephants, we were already blown away. Paul was clearly absolutely brilliant at his job.
We saw Hyenas & their pups, Lions, Cape Buffalo, Ostrich & eagles & Mt Kilimanjaro.
We also saw a herd of wildebeest & zebra stampede!
We saw 3 out of the big 5 in the first 2 days.
Then to Lake Naivasha, a boat ride ride to Crescent Island had been organised for us.
Once again breathtaking, so many birds & hippos.
The walk on the island was amazing & so close to the wild animals.
We had a game drive at Lake Nakuru, an abundance of wildlife - Rhinos, flamingos, Cheetahs,& beautiful birds. One thing I must say is how experienced a safari guide Paul is, how he spotted the animals is beyond me, he didn't miss a thing which is the best guide to have.
Then to the Maasai Mara to finish, the most wonderful end to our trip.
Paul being the perfect safari guide took us to all the best spots, he was very talented on guiding us to take the best possible pictures whilst positioning his vehicle perfectly.
He pointed out so much wildlife for us that we simply would not have seen ourselves - Jackals, Mongoose, a pack of lions and cubs, cheetah, Hyenas, eagles, pelicans, storks, Thompsons/grants gazelle, antelopes, impalas, crocodiles, waterbucks & really rare wildlife, the list goes on.
Finally, thanks to Paul, we were lucky to see the great migration, 1000's of Wildebeest & Zebra & 2 river crossings.
As if it couldn't get any better, Paul was the ONLY tour guide out of 100's who spotted a Leopard, completing the big 5 & 9.
Paul & Patrick you made our dreams come true!
We will be forever grateful to Paul & Patrick Safari Herd, thank you for hosting us.
We cannot recommend them enough. If you are planning a safari, please book the best - Safari Herd. You will not regret it!
