The right guide for an unforgettable safari!
Everything was perfectly organized: communications, transfers, accomodation etc. Our safari guide was kind and caring, he explained many things about animals and helped us spot lots of them. This is an experience we’ll never forget. Highly reccomended!

Great safari tour experience!!!
Went for my Birthday and it was honestly a Great Safari experience with Suricata Safaris ️️️️️. Livingstone was our guide for the trip and was excellent!!! Drove to the best spots for us to find and get close to animals, gave stories and answered questions about the park, a bit of the history in Tanzania and was just overall a good vibe.
Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to do a safari in Tanzania you go with Suricata!!

Great Safari experience without breaking the bank!
Benson communicated with us from the very beginning and accompanied us during most of the trip. He picked us and dropped us off to and from the airport. We had good driver but the jeep had issues. Benson realized this problem and arranged for new driver and jeep. We went on game drives, twice a day. At Masai Mara we spent two whole days at the Mara with a picnic lunch. It was definitely worth it since we were able to see the amazing migration of the wild beasts. We also saw leopards, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, and even ostriches. He made arrangements for the hot air balloon ride which was simply an awesome experience! . Other than a small miscommunication, the trip was well organized and worth every penny! I recommend Tall Masai Safari for your trip and suggest to openly communicate with Benson your concerns and he’ll make every effort to meet your expectations. Great value for your money!

Best honeymoon safari experience!
Me and my wife booked a 3 day safari for our honeymoon and I have to say that Sunny Safaris has to be the best safari company in Arusha. The people at the office were kind and friendly and helped us a lot through the whole process (as this was our first safari and trip together). The 4x4 was well kept cleaned every night and in prestige condition. You can tell they get serviced often. The lodges were lovely and clean- the staff were very friendly it was surreal. Emmanuel was such a good tour guide he talked to us the full time and was one of the nicest person I’ve ever met- he showed us the the full parks and we got to see every single animal (including the big 5)in a short time! He was amazing and such a kind honest man. My wife really wanted to see a cheetah and he said it’s a very rare find but he tried his best and they walked past our jeep! Some of the other tour guides we spoke to were a little awkward but he was just himself and brought everyone together. Overall i would say it’s the best experience of my life so far and made for a very special part of my honeymoon. Everything was amazing- nothing to improve. Just keep up the good work!
Efficient, reliable, knowledgeable.
Joash organised two trips for me - one in Uganda and another in Kenya. The tour in Uganda comprised a visit to Jinja, the Head of the Nile, Lemala Wildwaters - which was an island in the middle of the Nile’s rapids, and the local zoo. It was professionally organised and I was impressed.
On the back of this, I travelled to Kenya and Joash put me in touch with his contact in Nairobi to organize a trip to the Nairobi national park, giraffe Centre and a museum.
I would highly recommend.

Amazing!!
We had such an amazing trip to Rwanda and Tanzania! Before leaving Jake was amazing helping us curate the perfect trip, gave tips for booking flights and securing visas, and helped with all our questions along the way. In Rwanda, Paul picked us up at the airport and was with us every step of the way. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the history and ecology of Rwanda. We were sad to say goodbye, but upon arriving in Tanzania we met more amazing members of the team. We had the best time talking with Esther who picked us up at the airport and drove us to Olerai. The next day we met our guide, Eliamani. He was also wonderful! We wanted as much time on game drives as possible and he was more than willing to get up and go each day from sunrise to sunset. He taught us all about the animals and the environment! We can't say enough about how wonderful everyone in this team is and how well thought out their itineraries and lodging selections are. 5 Stars! Highly recommend! Look no further!

Excellent Safari with Best guide Yasin
This was my second safari experience in Kenya, the first one being seven years ago. With high expectations from my previous adventure, I carefully selected Axis after consulting with various travel agencies, and I’m glad I did. The arrangements were flawless, and the staff at the agency were not only friendly but also surprised us with T-shirts, which was a nice touch. The highlight, however, was meeting our exceptional tour guide, Yasin.
A reliable tour guide is crucial on a safari. They do more than just drive; they become your companion, ensuring you find the perfect spots for photos and videos, while also sharing valuable knowledge about the wildlife and environment. Yasin excelled in all these aspects.
Arrangement: I booked a 7-day safari that covered Masai Mara, Nakuru National Park, and Amboseli. Initially, Lake Naivasha wasn't included, but Yasin suggested adding it to the itinerary at no extra cost. This allowed us to get closer to the hippos, which was a fantastic experience. Despite the additional driving and adjustments required, Yasin handled everything seamlessly and without complaint.
Professionalism: Passion for nature is essential for a safari guide, and Yasin certainly has it. With a background in ornithology, he has a deep understanding of the natural world. His ability to spot animals from a distance and position us for the best shots was impressive. I vividly remember waiting patiently for two hours to capture the perfect photo of a leopard. For me, the essence of a safari isn’t just about spotting animals, but observing their behavior—how they stretch lazily, play, or plan their hunts. These moments bring a sense of calm and connection to nature.
Respect for Nature: This point is particularly important. During peak season, many drivers may not show the same respect for wildlife. I recall an incident where a group of cheetahs was preparing to hunt, and while we kept our distance to observe, other drivers rushed in, startling the cheetahs and disrupting their hunt. It’s disheartening, and I hope in the future, stricter guidelines can be enforced to preserve the integrity of these natural habitats. Africa is one of the last true paradises for wildlife, and it’s vital that we protect it.
Communication: The communication throughout the safari was excellent. Yasin was attentive and responsive to our needs, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I noticed other groups who seemed to have issues, but thanks to Yasin, our journey was stress-free.
In conclusion, if you’re considering a safari, I highly recommend Axis and Yasin. They truly deserve a five-star rating.
