A very good experience, our highlight of Tanzania.
An experience that has to be lived ! We have been able to see almost all animals including the big five !
Concerning the accommodation, we slept in a tent that is very budget but very exciting to wake up in the middle of impalas, zebras, really great !
Concerning the food, it is good and adapted as well if you’re vegetarian.
The reason of 4 stars and not 5 is because we drove a lot and sometimes didn’t spend a lot of time in the park.

Really informative and helpful, knows the safari routes really well and kept to good timescales.
The tour was very good and we seen so many animals, camp sites were very equipped with facilities. The chefs food was very good each day and the guide was very informative on our tour taking us on good routes and asking us questions when needed. The guide was good on checking in on everyone if they were okay. The only thing I would suggest is which came as a suprise was someone from the company came the evening before and said I would get a message when my pickup time would be, this never happened and I got a call from reception saying my guide was here, which was a bit of a shock. My other surprise was the route had been amended from what was stated on the tour. The parks weren’t followed in the order stated in the booking which felt a bit confusing. However this was a good trip!

Suricata were the best you could possibly want
The 3 day climb up Mt Meru was unforgettable. Very well organised by Suricata and the group was great. David the guide really enhanced the experience, he was the perfect mountain leader and with him there was no doubt that we were going to reach the summit.
I'll come back to do Kilimanjaro with David soon.

Memories to last a lifetime
Had a great 4 days with Pascal. Mother Nature was on our side and we spotted the big 5. He was very knowledgeable and shared everything he knew.
Great few days. Thank you!

Amiri is the best man, incredible!
Having Amiri as our tour guide made the experience 100x better than we ever imagined it would be. He is so good at his job, knows exactly where the animals are and knows so much every one of them and their homes. We will be requesting Amiri whenever we come back and will be recommending him to absolutely everyone we know. 10/10 experience.

Great fun
We have just finished a 5 day camping safari taking in four parks, each with a different character, and saw an amazing variety of birds and animals. Our guide was Jordan who was excellent, a skilled driver and dab hand at positioning the truck to give us the best view. He was kind and careful when one of our group needed a pharmacy. Every animal spotted was accompanied by interesting details on their lifestyle and habits. He maintained a cheerful good humour and was quick to join in a joke. In the evenings he handed over to James who prepared excellent cooked dinners over a wood fire and a hot lunch to eat in a shady spot. The campsites varied in character from a fixed campsite with a pool, to more informal open settings with randomly working shower block. Robust tents and comfortable mattresses (but they are not joking when they say take toilet roll as it is rarely seen!)
Communications beforehand were rather inflexible and clunky, you had to choose one of the fixed safaris for simple booking, but variation and questions led to a certain amount of confusion.
Overall we had a great trip and thoroughly enjoyed it

Decent company, excellent staff!
Pretty good food (looked better than other lunches we saw) and great driving and guiding from Jordan who is extremely skilled and patient!
The car could have done with more maintenance — critically working seatbelts, aircon to combat the dusty roads, and seats that aren’t beginning to fall apart. However the main thing we came for is safari, and safari we got indeed! Saw loads and loads of animals and birds, and impressively, Jordan could name them all.
Better communication and organisation would also help.
I want to emphasize that all the improvements suggested above are on the company/admin side. The staff with us throughout were amazing.
