Best customer service ever
This is the best customer service I ever had. Everything was made according to our wish. We felt safe all the time ( even next to a lion) 😀. At any point we had 2 guides/ drivers with us. Both Masai village and Mikumi safari were amazing. In Masai village we were main guests and in safari we saw all animals really close. Guide is professional and accommodated all our wishes. Great value for money paid. Guide always tried to make us happy and we have recieved so many info on history and biology. Very well guided private tour. I will always reach out to Imara when I am in this part of Africa.
Thank you once again.

5 day Tanzania group safari
Suricata were amazing from start to finish! Booking was easy, they arranged airport transfer and hotel on either side of the safari. Our tour guide, Freddy, was very friendly and knowledgable and ensured we saw all the big 5 animals and knew where to get the best shots from. The campsite was clean and comfortable. Food by our head chef Tito was very tasty and catered for vegetarians. We couldn’t ask for more. I would recommend Suricata to anyone looking for a safari company. I will definitely be using them when I return to do Mt Kilimanjaro!

Great!
We spent a week with Jon exploring Uganda and contemplating the mind-boggling beauty of the country. It was one of the best trips of our lives, a true adventure. And we couldn’t be happier that among other companies, we chose Safaris by Jon, with Jon himself as our guide. The trip was organized perfectly, and the impressions we got exceeded our expectations. Jon was very thoughtful and caring. He made sure that we felt comfortable, arrived on time, and enjoyed a comfortable commute between the locations. A well-planned itinerary allowed us to experience a diverse range of activities and see different sides of Uganda.
Furthermore, Jon is a very interesting person to talk to. We asked multiple questions about the past and present of Uganda, and eventually, we enjoyed a sort of mini-course in Ugandan history. We highly recommend Safaris by Jon to everyone who wants to visit Uganda and enjoy a trip with a very professional guide.

A remarkable journey
It was an unforgettable trip, everything was organized to perfection. Susan, my travel agent from Discover Africa, carefully organized this trip for me as a solo traveler and was constantly looking out for me. I felt safe and secure every step of my trip.

Warm and welcoming!
I had a wonderful time in my 5 days here! The staff are all so kind. It's a family atmosphere that really made this female solo traveler feel very safe and comfortable. Mr. Bongani went out of his way to see that I was well cared for. He even sent someone to my airport hotel that escorted me (about a 5 minute walk) to the minibus that would take me to the lodge. They could have easily just given me directions on where to go to meet the bus, but it was early and dark and I was alone and jet lagged, so i really appreciated this touch. During my stay, Charlie was my guide during my game drives and he did an excellent job. He even saw rhinos at dusk that could have been easily missed. The panoramic drive, in which I saw Blyde Canyon among other great spots, was breathtaking. Charlie really knew his way around and gave me plenty of time to explore and take it all in. I never felt rushed.
The breakfast and the dinners were prepared by skilled cooks and it was all delicious. Eating dinner each night at a nicely set table beside a small campfire was delightful and memorable.
This lodge is a relatively short drive to both Kruger and Manyeleti Game Reserves, both of which you'll get plenty of time in and see a wonderful variety of animals (I got to see the Big 5, among many others). The lodge itself is in a village community, which I think adds a lot of value to the whole warm and welcoming experience. I'm so very glad I used Bongan Safaris and I hope very much to return someday.

Amazing Lalibela!
We had a great visit in Lalibela with Daniel, visiting stunning ancient churches, enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal and coffee ceremony prepared by his wife, and trying homemade alcohol and injera. We also hiked up to Asheton for breathtaking views, explored the bustling Saturday market, and attended Sunday morning mass. Lalibela left a lasting impression, and we recommend Daniel!

An experience to remember lifelong!
I've stayed Kenya for 7 days. Nairobi was a nice city but there was not much attractions for tourist. However, my last 3 days in Masai Mara were amazing cause I went for a Safari. I stayed in an amazing hotel called Sopa Lodges which I highly recommend cause the food the view and the atmosphere was great. During the day in the safari area you get really tired, so a good place to stay at night and have rest to get back energy is needed. Wildlife in the safari was breathtaking and we have even seen leopard and cheetah although it's generally difficult to catch them. I a summary, I think every people in the world should experience this advanture at least once in their life. This was my second and it was ten times better than my first one in Rwanda.

amazing trip
- Is amazing trip to feel the wild life.
- the roads are in bad condition which makes the travel very uncomfortable
