An amazing experience with obviously the best company around
Wow! I can not recommend Suricata safaris enough and I will be doing to all my friends and family. If I could give more than five stars, then I would, from beginning to end, Suricata were amazing. From the initial email communication and organisation to on the ground support. They were flexible and great communicators, catering to every need. As soon as we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted very warmly and given a full briefing of what to expect from our safari, so we were fully prepared.
We asked to do a local tour of Arusha which they organised last minute with a great guide Chuke, who showed us the real Arusha, including important monuments, hidden gems and visited a local restaurant with delicious food, Chuke educated us so much on the culture and history of the town.
Then we started our safari with Mandela as our guide for the 3 day safari across the Serengeti & Ngorongoro and it’s safe to say we were in the best hands. Mandela is a clear expert on the animals, culture and environment and also shared so much insight into Tanzania as a country, the most knowledgable, skilled guide in both safari & driving, this was also recognised by other guides that we met on our trip, he really is a genuine, nice and honourable man. We’re so grateful that we got to have him as our guide and are leaving Tanzania with a once in a lifetime experience, seeing incredible animals and meeting brilliant people. The food and lodges during our trip were incredible too and everything was organised to a tee, we already can’t wait to come back!

Accommodating, responsive, experienced !
African Big Cat Safari surpassed my already high expectations of what our safari was going to be. I picked them because they were very responsive from the beginning of the planning process, they added me on whatsapp and we discussed all options at length.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by our amazing guide Obed, and felt in very good hands.
The lodges we selected were excellent, we decided to book a range of accommodations from luxury tents to five star hotels - simba lodge, four seasons hotel, intimate zebra camp, Melia Ngorongoro lodge.
Obed was very knowledgeable, flexible, an expert at finding where the animals are, explaining what they’re doing etc and overall a great companion/ fun guy to hang out with!
We had the best time. We visited local tribes and had an especially amazing time at the hadzabe tribe visit, which was a completely last-minute request from us, that african big cats immediately accommodated.
I recommend them highly !!

No point in using them
If you are using a travel agent to give you guidance and insight knowledge about where to stay and what to do, this is not your agency. In our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania, we stayed in five hotels in total. We payed for what we thought was a luxury package. One hotel was excellent, which we chose ourselves, one was ok, but not what we were expecting, two were old, outdated and tired hotels and the last one was an all inclusive, terrible service, nightmare of a hotel. We spent the last part of our vacation complaining while being offered no real solution to the issues. They are very polite, but basically you are left to deal with the hotel yourself. If you want a luxury, smooth experience in Africa, find a different Travel Agent. Trust me on that one…

See the big cats and more!
This was an amazing trip! We took a 4-day safari from Arusha to Mwanza and African Big Cat Safaris was fantastic from communication before the trip until we said good-bye. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, how to get the best views, local culture, and all the animals. He knew the genus and species of all (almost 100!) birds! This was a great value for money. We stayed in beautiful lodges with good food. Everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend them! We did indeed see the big cats-- lion, cheetah, jaguar-- in addition to so many more animals.

The best experience ever
I had an incredible safari experience in Kenya with my wife for our honeymoon. I'd like to share a glowing review of the agency we chose. It was one of our most beautiful trips. We saw the Big 5, and our guide Julius was fantastic—kind, pleasant, sociable, and attentive, making our safari truly special. The hotels recommended by Paul were stunning, and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend choosing Ways of Africa for your safari; you won't regret it. Thanks to Paul and Julius for delivering on the promise of a fantastic safari and a wonderful honeymoon.
