Highly recommended - an amazing Safari experience, well organised and brilliant value
Our family group of 4 did 4 day, 3 night camping Safari. Nelson was an excellent communicator. All the arrangements including accommodation went perfectly, including extra night accommodation at the end of our Safari and taxi to the airport at 4am! Our driver/guide Bryson was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable and answered all our questions but perhaps could take a bit more initiative in sharing information about the animals etc He was an extremely careful considerate driver. Prosper our cook produced amazing meals, provided brilliant vegetarian options and fed us very well indeed. Nelson can be very proud of the professional and well organized company he is running. Highly recommended and excellent value for money compared to other Safari providers we looked at.

Amazing
The safari was amazing thanks to the wonders of the Mikumi park but also to our two guides Michael and Stephan who were with us throughout the trip. I highly recommend this safari tour :)

Great time with Jocky tour and Solomon
As everybody know, the guide is most important for the tour. solomon was the best Guide ever. He never talk too much but always let us know what we need to. Also he know all the related people everywhere we went even when we are trouble! Also he is good driver and good friend.

Best safari operator in tanzani
If you're looking to book a safari for any number of days don't look any further. We did a lot of research and after two days we were lucky that we landed with surricata group. We were helped from the very first time we contacted them by halima who was kind enough to even reply at midnight. We were greeted and explained about the safari by a very friendly guy called Daniel, we left the next morning in with group of people who we hadn't met before but we ended up becoming the best of friends. Our guide who was also driving, my rafeki rocky, was very knowledgeable, fun and very patient with us. We took luxury accommodation on the trip they were kind enough to upgrade our hotel to their beutiful property in tarangiri.
They also helped arrange a free pickup and drop for us which was very thoughful of them.
We had an unforgettable experience and I'd insist that you look no further and go with them.
Thanks and love to the whole team. Hope to see yall very soon.
Asante sana!

Well organized and personalized experience
Warm lunches, great tent camp accommodation, the guide made sure we spotted all possible animals. The Wi-Fi and wine were a nice extra! Great Whatsapp communication before and during. The safariguide was a bit passive and uninterested to share extra information; answered all questions but didnt take much initiative in conversation. We added the waterfall and hot springs tour as an extra day and it was a great choice. For that the guide was great and We truly recommend seeing these places! All in all, an unforgettable four days, thank you!

Dream Trip!
I own a business and every year pick 1 bucket list trip. I researched a ton and picked Wakanda. I joined a group one. The communication was superior from pre to post and during. Our guide was Andrew and our chef Abdulla. You can request them and they both stopped at NOTHING to make the trip everything our group wanted (even a smashed cell phone repair in the middle of a tour!!!). We saw the Big 5! A Hunt. Camped in the Serengeti. Great Migration. UNREAL FOOD (we saw other tours and ours was miles ahead). To me, when you spend 5 days w a group and dont want to say goodbye.....it means it was awesome! I travel the world and this was the best trip ever. I am forever grateful. And as for value.....we ALL agreed in our group we would have paid double for this trip. Insane value!!!!

Great private safari adventure
We booked a 6 day private safari for 2 people and got what we have paid for. The schedule was followed according the descriotion. Moreover we got a cool 4x4 safari jeep instead of a bus and 2 guides for the whole trip instead of just one. Thus we felt very exclusively looked after.
Communication upfront was very good. Even changes to our schedule were possible in short notice. As our flight was delayed we had to change pick up locations which was not a proplem.
Our main driver guide was Edward. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable driver guide. While others were struggeling with some tricky road conditions he always mastered them perfectly. He also brought us very closely to the animals in the parks like lions, long necks, elephants, leopards,... and made sure we see all of them.
Some hints for a great memorable adventure:
Stock up with drinks and some snacks before your board the safari vehicle.
Book a private tour if you can afford it.
If you book a budget tour don't expect a luxury tour. Having this in mind the tour definitely exceeded our expectations. All in all it was a great value for money.

An Experience We Would Rebook
Our family and friends had an amazing 5-day safari with our guide, Everest! You can tell he takes his job seriously, and that’s a plus. He cares about nature and all that it has to offer. We enjoyed talking to him and simply getting to know him as a person. I loved hearing his stories about Tanzania and its people. His knowledge of the land and animals was intriguing. Between all of our game drives, we were able to see 4/5 Big Five.
Communication with Mickey was excellent and he answered the millions of questions I asked. I liked that we were able to adjust accommodations (we upgraded our hotel in Arusha) based on our needs, and we were happy with ALL three locations.
The Kifaru Lodge and Mountain View Lodge were both top notch. The staff at both locations were friendly and professional. We loved practicing our Swahili with them. They were attentive to all our needs and went above and beyond to make our group feel comfortable. John, Merry, Samson, Forsten, Benson, and Samwel are just a few of the names from both locations. Wish I could remember them all.
I would definitely say we got “our monies worth”. The meals were never small in size, cheap, or subpar. The lodging was always great, and the professionalism provided by everyone was top tier!
Can’t wait to safari again with Savannah Explorers and Everest!
