the land of tips
The wildlife was the best we have had from this country. Italy is knew in the world for sly people but tanzanian were worst than us. I've never knew something similar. The land of tips, the land of "surprises". I am really sad because i think that this will kill the tourism there. Last but not least, you make fool prices for all about tourism. In the rest of the world we are not so riches as you think. For the most of us, the 50$ that you ask like chips are a day of work!!!!!!
P.s. the weather was good, the foid was good, the accomodation not so bad, but when i think about my trip, FOR YOUR FAULT, i think about you CRAFTINESS for first.

One of the best experience in my life.
Everything was perfect: the agency, the camp, the wildlife, food, transportation, and specially the guide who was the best who could have to live the great expérience.
He wasn't only a guide. He was always availabe and wanted to be sure that every minutes of out trip was good for us.
He constantly get managed to find all animals to satisfy us.
He was helpfully, always smiling and very professionnal.
We were very sad to leave him after three days.
Donatus was very reactive by email to give us all informations from France before the safari.
Mickael picked up us at the hotel at Dar es Salam with the 4×4 and we drove directly to the camp during 6 hours.
And we arrived, we have been welcomed by the staff.
All food and water is including expect soft drinks and alcohool.

first day we made a boat safari on the rufiji river during 2 hours. There, we met hippos, crocodiles and a lot of birds.The sunset was beautiful.
The day after, we made the safari in the reserve near the camp. We spent all the day from 8 am to 6pm.
We saw girafes, hippos, waldos, crocodiles, elephants, zebras, antilopas , birds, monkeys, lions, buffalos.
The landscapes were so beautiful that you have the feeling to be on another planet.
The last day, very early in the morning, we did a walking safari with a traditional hunter, Didi. It was an amazing meeting. Very impressive and unforgettable.
After the safari, we spendt 7 days at Zanzibar, so the agency was very nice to book the tickets boats and to leave us at the port.
The bungalow where we spendt 2 nights was very clean and confortable.
The electricity is cut off the night from 10 pm to 7 am.
To conclude, it was a big experience for all of us and we are glad to have it in these conditions and with this agency.

Real wild life worth visiting once in your life
The Tour Company called "Suricata Safari" is well organized for both a tour coordinator and a guide/chef.
A coordinator visited our hotel one day before the tour, explained whole schedule (I joined 5 days tour, 5 people group) and preparations as well as the last day after I return for review everything was fine.
During safari tour 5 days for Tarangire, Lake Manyora, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, a guide and chef made me so comfortable and friendly relationship. I do appreciate their all day effort, tried to find big 5 animals, explain about nature in safari also cooked hot/fresh meal every single time.They also managed to build up tents which guests slept in and tried to understand what guests mostly like to do there. (recommend local suveniors, meals and teach local language)
I definitely recommend choosing "Suricata Safari" and will be back Tanzania safari to have touch experience with wild animals as well as Suricata Friends there.

Amazing!
Benson’s safari could not have been any better. Everything was organised to perfection and we felt really looked after. Accommodation was great, our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable and we saw the big 5! What more could we ask for?

Amazing wildlife experience
We had a four day safari with camping visiting Serengeti, ngorongoro and tarangire. We had a chance to see most animals including the cats, lions cheetahs and serval cats. The experience of having zebras and hyenas walk into the camping sites was amazing. It was very nice to be so close to nature.

A nice amazing trip with unique people in a wonderful country!
We got back from an amazing Safari trip with Earthlife Expeditions in July. From the first time, we communicated with Deo to our last day, we were very well treated.
He was very attentive with our needs. He customized our trip to our advantage, so we could maximize our stay to our needs. He always answered his messages within two days.
We had a nice driver pick us up at the airport with a smile at 5 a.m.. We were never left alone once on our trip.
Even though the roads were bumpy and dusty, our driver Kessy was always paying attention to the roads. He brought us closer to the animals and he was always trying to position the jeep, so we could make the best photo shot. His knowledgeable of the animals was impressive, he was funny, attentive, patient and always giving us his best service. He made sure that we were pleased with

everything we saw.The accommodations were luxury, spacious, comfortable, clean and secured. The staff service was impeccable, and we always had a worm greeting from them. The bushcamps were well organized with everything: the service, the hot water and the security. We even had Wi-Fi in the middle of no ware.
The food was delicious and abundant. We also had fire and great company.
We made amazing encounters with a multitude of animals. We had a chance to see the big five, walk in a village with a great guide, taste banana beer, visit a school, hunt with a tribe and interact with different cultures.
We ended our trip to Zanzibar for five days at the beach. Everything was arranged for us, the driver, the air travel, the tours and the luxury room.
We would definitely recommend Earthlife Expedition to everyone. Thank you, Deo, Kessy and your staff for making our trip to Tanzania a cherished memory that will last a lifetime. We will never forget you guys.

I Dream of Africa: Excellent Immersion Safiri - The Great Rift Valley, the Serengeti and more
The camping aspect wasn't roughing it: we called it glamping. The safari had an excellent camp cook, who prepared 3 hot meals a day, based on local produce. Because of the

altitude in northwestern Tanzania, sleeping was great: it was cool every night. Dawn and dusk were filled the calls of birds and monkeys in the trees overhead, and during the nights you could here the grazers and sometimes the predators moving. Each morning provided an interesting task of identifying the animals that had roamed right outside the tents and campsites from their tracks and scat.Here are some outstanding moments: dozens of forest elephants walking, running, trumpeting, and calling with low frequency infrasound right next to you; prides of lions with cubs, roaring at leopards with a kill in acacia trees; lions hunting wart hogs less than 40 meters away; adult and infant rhinoceroses in the forest; hiking with an armed ranger through cape buffalo herds and groups of giraffes in lion country; hundreds of wildebeests, impala, gazelle, zebra and buffalo; night safari to see civet cats, porcupines, bush babies and hippopotami out of water; birds of all kinds; baobob trees ... Visiting local towns and villages.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protected_areas_of_Tanzania for a list of species you are likely to see in each park mentioned above. You are likely to see everyone of them, and many more in the highly diverse environments in these parks, ranging from high altitude rain forests to broad grasslands and plains.
Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha to start.
It's a trip of a lifetime.

English and French, experienced, skilled in 4-wheel driving, with his professionalism and knowledge of the bush (not to forget mentioning his table cloth and supply of coffee for the picnic lunches among the wild …), helped us witness memorable scenes of the wild life, including the migration of more than 100000 gnus, their crossing the Mara river on their way south to greener pastures. In 8 days we saw, in their natural habitat, all of the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, bush elephants, African buffalos), many of the other African bush animals, the unique birds, baobab and acacia trees, and a lot more, we stayed in very comfortable tented lodges, slept under mosquito nets while outside the tent we could hear elephants, hyenas and other animals roaming and to top it all, we visited a Maasai village and learned about this Nilotic ethnic group’s distinctive customs. We ended our trip with 4 days on the island of Zanzibar, in a chalet overlooking the Indian ocean, where again Naiman’s team member, the young lady, Witness organised for us highly interesting visits in the historical Stone Town, the old slave market, a spice tour, … In a word, outstanding vacation.
