Epic safari !
We loved our trip to Tanzania - and the safari was the best part!! Suricata Safaris was great all along and our guide Ezechiel and cook Chaz were absolutely perfect!
We spent two weeks in Tanzania in end May-early June. We were on a "budget" for the safari and so decided to book the 5-day tour in tents via Suricata Safaris, a fairly new company, but with very good reviews and good prices. Organisation, via Hilary, the owner of the company, was pretty smooth.
We had a pick-up from the airport to the hotel in Arusha, before the Safari the next day. We met three other people that were joining us for the tour. Although the massive jeep was fully packed, it was nice and entertaining to do the safari with a bigger group!
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara national parks. It's the pretty standard itinerary in the north of the country. All these parks are great - landscape are completely different from one to another and they are amazing when it comes to seeing wildlife.
We saw lions, hyenas, leopards and plenty of smaller cats - sometimes with a bit of action but it depends on luck! Our car went through a massive pack of thousands of gnus and zebras which was pretty amazing. We also saw elephants, giraffes, hyppopotamus, black rhinos, buffalos etc.
Ezechiel, our guide, was excellent! Very friendly and forthcoming. He knew his way inside out the parks and drove us to the right places! We were in no rush and stayed as much as we wanted at each spot, taking nice pictures and enjoying. He studied nature and wildlife and so was knowledgeable on the animals. He also taught us some Swahili... but it's a pretty tough language... ^^
Our cook, Chaz, made impressive dishes! We were expecting to eat the same thing during the whole safari, but not at all! Plenty of fruits and vegetables cooked in nice dishes. Even had home-made pizza in Serengeti :D
Some recommendations:
- going just before peak season was a good choice
- bring a good camera zoom if you want to take nice animal pictures (200mm is the minimum)
- bring some binoculars (we bought a pair for 25€ and they did the job perfectly)
- part of the safari needs to be paid in advance, Transferwise worked well for us to avoid banking fees

Our trip was fantastic and very well planned
We had a fabulous trip to Kenya. Our stay, travel and food arrangements done my Pamela we just as we expected. Our tour guide Mr. Peter ensured we saw the big five beauties of Africa.. we were also very lucky to see the wild beast migration at Mara river.
Our last minute request for incorporating the Giraffe center at Nairobi was also done by them. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and definitely recommend magical retreat tours to anyone who wishes to have a relaxing and adventures experience in Kenya.

Best service, cheap price, friendly people, 100% mist try
They accomodated us for the first and last day which was super useful. The team is top notch, very friendly and answering all your questions. They provided everything and made the experience remembering. The routes and places of stay are very well combined and you don't feel tired at all. You can also easily see all the animals out there and the guides get into detail for each of them.

Express vacation made my tour to Kenya very memorable and made me feel very comfortable
My experience with express vacations was very memorable. The accommodations provided both in Nairobi and Massai Mara were very decent and comfortable. Communication was very professional and service provided made me have no fears of being in a new place....rather i could relax and enjoy the holiday as i knew i was in safe hands. The safari was very well arranged with a good driver / guide and vehicle and our comfort and safety was never compromised.

Everything was well organized
The communication was very good, everything was very well organized. All the lodges we stayed have been very good. We visited six parks in nine days, that was a bit stressfull. Next time we would visite two or three parks in nine days. Our guide was a very good driver but as a guide he was only sufficient. But over all it was a good Safari, we saw lot of Kenya, animals, countryside. nature. We went back home with many good impressions. We would book Natural World Kenya Safaris again.

Family safari, experience of a lifetime
We were a family of 6, including a 7 year old kid. The trip was above expectations, catered for the needs of the different age groups. Diana organized an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We were a bit flexible with dates and times, so she could look for the best options based on our request and allowed her to come up with a recommendation that fits us. The tented camp accomodation in the Masai Mara is a unique, not to be missed experience when on safari.
We were greeted by her and our driver Daniel on the first day early in the morning. Daniel spent the 4 days with us, and he made sure we see as many animals as possible. He is a very skilled driver, and knows the territory well, we learnt a lot about the Kenyan wildlife.

We hada great trip
We had an excellent trip and all the tented lodges were all special in their own way. The driver/guide in Tanzania as well as Kenya was professional and always ready for a full day of experiences. We saw many different animals and stopped in some local villages on the way. We can recommend Wildebeest Safaris without hesitation.

The Best Wonderful Safari Experience
Booked the safari "7 Day Uganda Wildlife Trip" in Uganda and it was from the first to the last
Second everything perfectly organized.
This was one of the most beautiful safaris I have experienced.
My tour guide Gerad was a great driver, helpful, courteous and explained a lot to me
about the surroundings and showed me other beautiful areas,
I was safe with him a Fantastic tour guide
Very nice accommodations with comfortable beds.
I had enough time to observe and photograph animals
If I do a safari in Uganda again then I will try to get Gerad as my tour guide.
Overall, I would travel again with this company Mega Wild Safaris.
They were helpful in signing up, communicating excellently all the time, and the safari was amazing.
