Suricata Safaris is top-notch, and will give you an experience of a lifetime!
Suricata is highly rated for good reason, they run a superb guiding business in one of the most stunning places on earth. Theguide is professional, patient and friendly . He has done this many years, and you tell he still enjoys his work, and sharing his beautiful country with guests. Our groups personal chef was up well before dawn, preparing gourmet meals for the day- on propane portable gas stove, and even baked breads and pizza from scratch in a Serengeti-styled Dutch oven using charcoal embers. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro game drives were amazing, and the first day at Tarangire was great great way to kick off the tour. You will see more animals than you can imagine, and experience not only animals, but mind-blowing hands-on travels through a variety of ecosystems from rain forest, to a volcanic caldera teaming with wildlife, to short grass prairies that go in as far as you can see, being catered to by the most friendly Tanzanian team you could ask for. Not a bad word can be said, a glorious experience from beginning to end.

Great family safari!
We had a simple perfect experience thanks to Stanley Safari ad hoc organization for our family (2 boys teenager) safari trip in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. From the first contact up to the after safari experience Stanley has been always in contact with us to check and prepare our day to day experiences. Impeccable locations variety, amazing people and lots of fun at Somalia’s camp, Bumi Hills and Victoria Falls! I highly recommend to explore Africa with Stanley a truly expert of Safari, Africa and hospitality & entertainment 😎. Thx Stanley and see you soon 😉!

Amazing company
Great company . We did Kilimanjaro and kikuketwa hot springs with them. Must say it was the best experience I’ve had . Mwini and Calvin the main guides are very professional . Also very social which made the hike simpler. They always think about the safety first . Very honest company and crew and would definetly recommend them to anybody that want to hike up Kilimanjaro and also for other tours around Moshi .

Wonderful safari with a great guide
Our safari was really great! We wrote to several providers in advance and Morris (the owner of Balu) always replied very quickly! We also had lots of questions, including the wish to be picked up in Kisumu. He was able to answer all our questions and it was also possible to be picked up there for an extra charge. It was really great! He also provided us with our own "programme booklet" in which we could read everything in detail. On the first day of the safari we were picked up very punctually by our guide, Derrick. He was very reliable, very friendly, punctual and showed and explained so much about the national park. He also knew all about the animals and had a wealth of knowledge about the national park, its inhabitants and Kenya. We were also able to express our own wishes (as example the departure time) and ask questions about everything. Derrick was always very flexible and explained everything to us in detail. We had a really great time with him and are grateful for his patience and friendly manner. Morris also asked us every day how we were doing and whether everything was to our satisfaction. We booked the 4-day tour with Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in the safari van. This proved to be a great combination as we were able to spot the big 5 and many more animals. You can also see a lot of the country on the journeys and the van is very comfortable. In Masai Mara NP we stayed at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and in Lake Nakuru NP at Sopa Lodge, with magnificent views! Both accommodations were very clean and beautiful! We also have to emphasise that Morris really tried to organise everything perfectly for us and at a really fair price! We felt completely at ease the whole time from booking to arriving back in Nairobi and thoroughly enjoyed our time and the safari. We would definitely book with Balu Travel again next time!

Best customer experience
Here's a revised version of your review to enhance the wording and maintain the praise for Jockey Tours:
I was initially hesitant to book my first-ever safari with Jockey Tours and Safaris, especially because their prices seemed significantly lower than the typical costs I had heard about from friends. Despite their glowing reviews, I tempered my expectations, given the modest price of $620 for a five-day safari. Having traveled to over 20 countries across four continents, I can confidently say this was the best value for money I've ever experienced. From the moment they picked us up at the hotel to our return drop-off, the professionalism and dedication to enhancing the client experience were exceptional. I was in the company of amazing tourists from around the globe, which led to forging new friendships and creating lifelong memories.
A special shoutout to Albert, our extraordinary guide, who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. He navigated through floods, mud, and other challenging terrains to ensure we always reached our destinations.
Thank you / Asante to Albert and Jockey Tours, my first safari was nothing short of spectacular!
Hope to see you soon for another trip with my friends !

Very experienced and eager to show us as many animals as possible.
We had the chance to go on a 3 day trip to Murchison falls which was an intense but definitely worth it. It was a great trip. We were 8 people in one car and saw so many animals from lions, to elephants, buffalo's, leopards,.... Overall a great experience and our guide was also flexible and knowledgeable about the animals and the park. Without him we definitely would not have seen so many great animals. The accomodation jibiri was also super. We had a shared room for 2 people with nice AC, bathroom and comfortable beds. The AC was definitely necessary. The staff was nice, only the food orders took quite some time, but the food itself good. I can definitely recommend the trip. In a short trip one gets to see so much and Murchison falls with it's impressive water falls, animals, and landscape is definitely worth a visit.

Lomo is very professional. Overall satisfied
My guide David was very professional, competent, patient, helpful, respectful, undeniable human qualities, seeking all occasions to satisfy my curiosity. I am very happy with my safari towers. I am ready to recommend Lomo Safari Tanzania reserve for my loved ones. I had great journeys, with unforgettable memories. The hotel was great despite the lack of wifi in the rooms. Overall very very satisfied. 5/5
