Amazing Safari
I have nothing but positive things to say about axis and the safari. I was in no way expecting to see everything on such a short Safari but our guide Evans was truly exceptional in his delivery and knowledge. I will be booking another safari with this group this year. Absolutely amazing experience and worth every penny. The team really did go above and beyond my expectations. I left a camera lens in a camp by accident and the team didn’t delay in posting the lens to where I was working for 6 weeks in Kenya. Exceptional service.

6 Day trip with Kajie Safaris
Incredible week in Uganda with my great guide Ronald from Kajie Safaris. Ronald is prompt to answering emails, lets the schedule be flexible (we had an extra game drive on my last day so I wouldn't have to wait in the airport for my late night returning flight), knows the local history and culture, and can provide options for all price ranges. If there is something extra you want to do or something you don't want to do, just tell him. He has visited so many game lodges and restaurants throughout Uganda firsthand, so he can recommend whatever you are looking for. His safari vehicle has fast wifi, a charging station for cameras/phones, and a roof that pops open for taking pictures on the game drives. Ronald was with me from my airport arrival to my airport departure.
My trip was a 6 day adventure which turned out to be a private safari as I travelled by myself. Of course, the gorilla trekking experience is a must and was the pinnacle of my vacation. Although I booked rather late (about 1 month before departure), Ronald was able to obtain the required permits and even recommended which trekking group I should go with depending on the ease or difficulty of the trekking. (I requested a more challenging experience but you can opt for a more moderate trek as well). There is simply too much to describe in writing about my Ugandan trip, so I recommend you experience it for yourself. My only regret was that I had just 1 week; aim for 2 weeks!

Fantastic custom made trip to the pearl of Africa!
We spent 13 days in Uganda and 3 days in Rwanda doing safari, chimpanzee trekking, gorilla trekking, bird watching and cultural tours and visits, all with the travel agency Home to Africa.
We have previously visited Tanzania for a safari trip. Although the safari parks of Uganda are not of the same vast size as those in Tanzania, the low number of tourists in Uganda made our visit feel like a VIP tour. We spotted many animals, including all of the big five. The Ziwa rhino sanctuary is currently working on reintroducing white rhino to the national parks of Uganda. Here we got to get up-close on foot with a number of rhinos.
Our driver and guide Sam was extremely knowledgeable about the parks we visited and the animals living there. He also told us a lot about the history of Uganda and the culture of people living in different parts of the country. We had a great time together, and we really felt that he did his very best to give us an unforgettable holiday.
The highlight of the trip was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi NP. It was an amazing experience visiting a gorilla family in their natural habitat. We got to spend one hour watching them eat and interact with each other, before we had to head back to the civilization.
We were positively surprised by the quality of the food, which was excellent at all hotels we stayed at. We enjoyed a mix of local dishes and traditional tourist dishes. The hotels that Home To Africa recomended were all amazing boutique inspirerande lodges.
Overall, we are very happy with our trip and we recommend Uganda as an excellent travel destination off the beaten track. Home To Africa made it possible for us to see different aspects this beautiful country!

Fanstastic from A to Z
All communications were well handled by Discovery, in a positive and effiscient way. As per the service and tour, it exceeded our expectations.
In fact, eventhough there was a last minute cancellation from other clients on our tour (which necessarily impacted their benefits), they fully honoured their commitment, where other company might have rebooked us elsewhere or simply cancelled. We belive this tells a lot about Discovery's professionalism. Special thanks for Seven, our knowlegeable guide and Famuel, the owner, for the personalised management of our trip. Cheers!

6 days went like one minute
Our first introduction to this agency started with communication with Lizzie in whtsapp - she amazed us by being very helpful ( she even helped us with our travel details excluding tour time) and friendly ( during and after tour she called us to ask if everything was alright). Our guide was Ambrosius - professional and safe driver who showed all the animals we can find in safari. I had some problems with health so he took me to clinic and still managed to plan rest of the trip great even when there were some time lost. About safaris, especialy in Masai Mara and Amboseli, we cant describe in words how amazing it was, so you need to experience yourself. All acommodation was very good - comfortable beds, mosquito nets, hot shower, toilet and electricity. Overall, I would say that this young agency provides all the best you can get from so called budget safaris and with friendliness of staff even more. Thats why if we will come to Kenya again we definitely choose this agency and reccommend it for all.

3 days Safari Trip with Suricata Safaris
It was just amazing, on the trip through Serengeti National Park and in Ngorongoro National Park, we saw the big five and many other animals and all this in a very short distance just indescribable !!
One of my sanights was the breakfast on the last day, we picnicked at a Hippo Pool where several hippos floated in front of us without a fence in between or any hedging in perfect nature. Our guide Rocky was very friendly and attentive he always asked if we were alright and had small surprises planned for us, he always had a lot of interesting information about the national parks and the animals so it was always exciting. We were also accompanied by a great chef David who was also very accommodating and the food was delicious every time. The showers and toilets on the campsite were clean and good.
It was three wonderful days that I will never forget, thanks to Suricata Safari and thanks to Rocky and Davidi
I can only recommend it to anyone traveling with Suricata Safari looking for the full safari adventure. Here he gets the full packet!

A great Safari experience!
The 3 day/ 2 night Safari trip to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater was such a great experience with Suricata Safari! Apart from the breathtaking landscape we saw the Big-five and lots of other animals so close to us that it was a feeling you can’t discribe.
It was always really funny with our great guide Rocki! He’s a really attentive person and is always asking if we are okay and if we have fun;) Rocki was telling us a lot about the animals and the history of the parks, so that it was never boring! He had a lot of surprises for us like a breakfast beside a hippo-pool without demarcation in full nature:)
Also we had a great cook, David. He always cooked a lot of food so we weren’t hungry any Time! The food was so delicious and varied!
Suricata Safari is a very good organized company, so go on and book your trip with them it’s gonna be an amazing experience!
Thank you really much to Suricata Safari, Rocki and David!

Great experience
We enjoyed this safari trip very much. Our tour guide Joseph was very experienced and kept himself continuously updated on the radio on where to find animals. He also took his time to spot animals himself in the mornings so that we would be the first in place.
We would have expected a bit more drinking water on the tour, but since water and soda was easily available at each camp this wasn't an issue as such.

Truly amazing and a wonderful experience.
We booked a 5 day safari in Ruaha National Park with Raja tours. From beginning to end they were responsive and helpful. Nico our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We stayed at Hill Top lodge, which was breathtaking and the hospitality was amazing. I would definitely recommend.
