Went above and beyond to make our experience out of this world!
The safari was simply amazing and the accomodation was great. Rocky, our tour guide went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and was great at spotting animals. We spotted 4/5 big five and it was all thanks to Rocky! Highly recommend Suricata.

Dream come true!
Truly the trip of a lifetime!!! My mom and I booked a mother/daughter safari for her first trip to Africa, and we can’t say enough good things about Suricata. Glory helped tremendously with the booking process, with prompt replies and patience with my endless questions. Everything went smoothly from the moment we landed in Arusha and were greeted by Daniel, who made us feel welcome immediately. The lodges were spectacular (Boma Lodge has the kindest, most helpful staff ever) and the food was top notch (shoutout to Tom from Boma Lodge - five stars!) And a special thanks to Max, the best guide ever! He is such a kind soul with a wealth of knowledge about the parks and wildlife. We trusted him 100000% to get us everywhere safely and on time, and he always knows how to find the best views of wildlife! Our trip would not have been the same without his humor, organization, patience, and vast experience with guiding safaris. He also happens to be the best driver I’ve ever seen, which is so important while navigating muddy Serengeti roads. We were blown away by the hospitality and comfort we experienced throughout our four day trip and would certainly recommend this company to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable safari.

great guide, good accomodation, not vegetarian friendly
Let me start with the bad. For vegetarian or vegan people, there is hardly any choice given except fruits for breakfast. They don't understand the concept of a balanced vegetarian meal. It was actually a non veg meal plan without the non veg items.This is despite their confirmation that they provide vegetarian options.
Another issue was with salt. Despite asking for low salt food it was more than even normal levels. I had to take extra medication to control my BP.
Now the good. The guide for us was very friendly and helpful. We had a very good experience despite having a totally rainy day. African safari is something one should not miss.
The accommodations provided were very good and comfortable : we took the tented camps instead of the more budget friendly campsites option.
Tarangire is really very good. The problem with Serengeti is its vast expanse and the time taken to reach or even move within. Often the most interesting sights happen before we reach the park. We also had the bad fortune of a rainy Serengeti. So that may have taken some sheen out of the experience. Ngorogoro is also very beautiful and a great place to go.
Overall the great guide we had made up for the problems with food.

Terrible experience with Image Travel
We had a very bad experience with this Travel Operator and we highly recommend you not to make the same mistake. Just to name a couple of examples:
- Program was changed last minute and we were not informed until the first day
- Pick up from hotel/ airport were often late (sometimes even by 1 hour) and with bad quality vehicles
- Instead of 3 tents for 5 people as per program payed, in 2 of the accommodation they only provided 2 room
- The refund promised for the mistake has never been effectively sent

Exceptional Service at an Affordable Price
I had the opportunity to partake in a customized safari for three people, and it exceeded all my expectations. Everything unfolded exactly as I had envisioned—punctual and in accordance with the planned itinerary. No request was too much trouble.
Sharon, the agency's travel planner, surpassed all expectations. Her professionalism, remarkable problem-solving skills, in-depth destination knowledge, and prompt email responses made the planning process seamless and enjoyable.
Our guide demonstrated a commitment to fulfilling our every request. He was not only kind but also quick to respond to all our inquiries. His navigation skills ensured that we were always among the first to spot various animals, making the entire experience truly unforgettable. The level of service provided was amazing, especially considering the reasonable price.

Amazing. Highly knowledgable.
Lucas, is highly knowledgeable guide. He knows an amazing amount about all kinds of wildlife from big game to the smallest of mammals and birds. He has a keen eye for safety, making sure that you are safe while enjoying a good deal of excitement. It was a trip of a lifetime, with my sisters, brother in law, nephew and my two sons.

Top notch! Everything was perfect!
We went on Safari in the beginning of January as a group of 4. We found Crimson Brooke Safari on safari.com and they really sticked out for the value for money. The price is very reasonable and very competitive. Betty and Amos are great in communication. They reply super fast. We had a WhatsApp group for easy communication. Also our Safari guide was in the WhatsApp chat and always available. This allows for flexibility. Our driver was awesome. We spotted so many animals, even a leopard which is very rare to see!!! The car for the game drives was really comfortable. It we an awesome trip!!!

Exceptional operator, amazing safari, and very good value for money!
We cannot thank Morindat enough for the wonderful service they provided. Titus helped me every step of the way to plan out our safari in Kenya, he offered us multiple options for different itineraries and provided us with different price options all within our budget.
Everything was perfectly organized and coordinated, from the selection of the itinerary, the airport pickup, the accommodations, the parks selection…everything was just perfect!
Thank you, Titus (the owner) for the experience of a lifetime, and huge thanks to Gideon (the only guide that can spot all big 5 on the first day

Personal attention with expert wilderness guides.
My wife and I booked with Marvel at Marvelous Safaris, and everything important came through in the best way possible. That's not to say that there were not any "this is Africa" moments, where some things got delayed or extra hurdles needed to be surmounted -- so be ready for that. We were met at the Kasana airport by our guide, who provided us with thermal water bottles with "Marvelous" on them. We drove into Chobe as the sun was beginning to set and got one of my favorite pictures, an elephant, trunk raised, silhouetted by the sunset with the Chobe River in the background. That first night, camping in the bush, our guide pointed out the sounds -- so many sounds -- of male lions, female lions, impala mating. That night in the tent, all I heard were the lions -- but upon training my ear, I later realized it was all impalas! The next morning our guide headed to where he heard the lions and, as the sun rose, there they were! This was just the beginning of a phenomenal 10 day trip where our guide, expert in hearing sounds, seeing signs, understanding animal behavior, continually led us into unbelievable adventures! "Did you hear that cry?l -- a cape buffalo in distress -- let's check it out" led to us seeing a new born buffalo stuck for some reason in the river, just as the reason (a small crocodile) floated to the surface, letting him go. "Those zebras are not coming for a drink, but looking at the giraffes, ... who are looking in the bush", led to us finding a pride of lions sleeping in the shade. The 2 times a day safari was the 'point' of the trip, but the camp setting with the private cook making just the meals we liked after we took a hot camp shower really was a great way to end every day and process the many memories. We visited both Chobe and Okavango and ended up with a makoro (canoe) near Maun. What an adventure!
