Chloe is fantastic and I plan to use her for all my future Africa safaris.
This is the email I sent to Chloe when we got back home:
Chloe,
Thanks so much for organizing the most extraordinary vacation we have had. Everything went well without any issues. The camps/lodges were excellent and provided a different experience for each, The guides and camp staff were just wonderful, treating us so well and providing for everything we needed. The new Karangoma camp was awesome and provided a more remote area and animals not used to humans which was very different I believe and exciting. We just loved it as it was a more remote safari adventure as opposed to Chobe Park. Chobe was great though also of course. I can't go into all the awesome experiences we had because it would take all day. We will recommend you very highly to all our friends. I'm sure some will be going in the future after talking to us and seeing all our pictures and videos. We will be calling on you soon in the future I believe. I'm not sure we want to vacation anywhere else. We just fell in love with Africa !! Let us know where we can provide reviews. We will be happy to provide our experience and happiness received from the vacation.
Warm wishes,
Mike and Steph

Thoughtful and professional Safari Club
Kilimanjaro Safari Club really paid attention to detail, was thoughtful, flexible, and professional! From the planning of our trip, to the moment we were picked up from the airport, until dropped off at completion of our tour they thought of everything. We felt comfortable and in good hands with our driver, Justin as well. The company made delicious and healthy foods for our game drives and took us to the most beautiful national parks. Justin also informed us about the animals we saw. He kept in contact with other guides and was able to drive us to locations where there were animal sightings (especially in the Serengeti where it is SO vast and spread out). We saw elephants, lions, hippos, hyena, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, and many more! I even saw a leopard! It was the BEST experience! I really want to go back to the Serengeti some day to see the actual migration! Make sure you check times on that because I was told we were early by less than 2 weeks, even though I read it started in early July when we arrived. I would go later in July next time and spend a longer time in the Serengeti. It’s too big to see in a mere day and a half.

An unforgettable experience in the nature
After some initial troubles in picking us, due to a misunderstanding at the office, the guide called Great showed up and took us among this beautiful trip. The Company did all they could and more to apologise for the inconvenient, we really appreciated it.
The trip in the van is very comfortable and the spots that you visit are amazing and worth the money. Places like Three Rondavels, Luck Potholes and the Falls are unique and will leave you speachless for the bigness and power of nature.
Great, the guide, is such a nice guy and he explains all you need to now about the places and he’s ready to reply to every question that comes up to yout mind.
Lunch in Graskop was very good too.
We firmly believe that you should do this experience!

The best trip of our life
Thank you very much Denis! It was a great safari with you. We couldn't have had a better driver. We felt very safe. You were able to answer all our questions and there were many questions! You always responded to our wishes and were able to show us all the animals. The accommodations were perfect. Everything just fit.

Amazing day, really well organised
I booked the Radisson package with moafrica and it was lovely. The hotel is amazing and the coordination to get me everywhere was incredibly smooth. I always know where to be and when, and they even called the hotel to have them remind me in the evening.
My Kruger tour was lead by Stan and he was amazing. Really cheerful and found so many animals! I really recommend the company and the package.

A perfect safari with sightings of all the big five thanks to knowledge, contacts and efforts.
The Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club (KASC) made all efforts to provide the best possible safari experience through a very knowledgeable guide, Justin, who seemed to know all the other guides and thereby obtained tips about sightings of animals through continued contacts. Justin was also very responsible and helpful to other Safari participants who had run into problems like flat tyres, which I suppose contribute to being on excellent terms with so many other guides. As a result we saw loads of animals, both the ones easily visible in very good perspectives and the most rare and difficult to spot, like leopards, including all the big five.
Justin and the KASC were also extremely helpful and saved no efforts in getting my suitcase, which KLM /Air France had lost on the way from Europe, all the way up to Serengeti from Zanzibar.
In our programme (mid range/luxury) some of the hotels were more luxurious than others but they were all very nice and situated in a wonderful environment. They all also made great efforts to adapt to food intolerance etc and the staff was very nice.

Spectacular Safari with a Great Guide
We just returned from a fantastic safari and Zanzibar beach holiday with Serengeti Smile. The safari experience was truly spectacular, especially thanks to our amazing guide Joseph. In addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife and his eagle eye for spotting animals in the bush, Joseph enriched us with his perspectives on Tanzanian culture, history and politics—and his great sense of humor. By the end of our safari, we felt that we had made a real friend in Joseph, through many hours of conversation in transit, over meals and even drinks at a local bar in Karatu on our last safari day (at our request, thanks Joseph!).
The comprehensive itinerary was well designed, covering the awe-inspiring, diverse landscapes of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. While we weren't lucky enough to catch the Great Migration, we came home with countless memorable moments, including two male giraffes fighting neck-to-neck, more lions than we expected to see, a wildebeest stampede at sundown and elephants so close you could practically touch them. The quality of the accommodation and food throughout was exceptional. Many thanks to Albert for his engaged responsiveness both in the planning stages and during our trip.

Very good
The guys at Suricata are spectacular. We did a 5-day safari (4 nights) with a stay in a lodge.
Everything was excellent from the welcome, to the lodges, to the food.
We recommend booking directly with them without going through agencies.
Last mention for the guys who accompanied us and for those at the lodges: we left a piece of our heart there.
