Amazing, charming very professional
Our family of four had an unforgettable experience in Tanzania, thanks in large part to Origin Wildlife Safaris. They curated a wonderful mix of fine hotels and tented bush experiences, providing us with a diverse taste of Tanzania.
A special thanks to our guides, Mike and Ben. Their extensive knowledge of the best routes and animal behavior greatly enhanced our game drives, allowing us to predict animal movements and experience some truly surreal moments. They were incredibly patient with our boys, answering all their questions with enthusiasm.
One of the highlights was enjoying coffee while watching the Serengeti sunset in a picnic setting outside the car, right in the heart of the jungle. We were initially unsure if our kids could handle a week of safari, but to our delight, they were left wanting more.

Exzellent Safari Operator which gave us a really Great Time
There was a good Communication in advance of our Travel (via Email, Phone and WhatsApp).
Everything was very well organized. We didn‘t have to take care of anything within our Travel….. it was really a Full Package.
You get a good value for your Money (you can choose if you you want to have Budget or luxary accomodations and you get different offers).
The Operator is very reliable and our Guide (Max) was a very experienced driver and a great Spotter. He saw things just with his eyes, which we couldn‘t Even See with binoculares.
He tried to arrange everything to make all our wishes come true.
And Max did everything to get us in the best position for amazing photos. It was really great
We felt Save all the Time.
Concerning Animals and Parks: we have been to Serengeti, where we have Seen the mass Migration (including 2 kills of wilderbeasts by crocodiles). We saw the big five and the ugly five. We have also been to ngorongoro and tarangire. All 3 Parks are really nice and we can Not Count the number of animals, which we have Seen (and the Animals wäre very very close). It was incredible!!!!
Thanks a lot for this Amazon Trip!!!!!

Our ten member party had one of the best holidays we have ever had in Serengeti put together by Priyal. There wasn’t a single hitch during our eight days in Serengeti and we got to enjoy amazing Africa - its people, its animals, its birds and smells. What Priyal did for us was nothing short of extraordinary.

Great safari operator
It was fantastic.
We saw a lot of Animals and had a lot of fun.
And our guide Max was really nice, he drove us to every Animal as good as possible.
He also told us a lot of Things about the animals and the tanzanian culture.
The lodges and camps were also very nice.
We always fell save in the car.
We enjoyed our time in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire very much, and want to come back...

The tour was great! Geeman is a knowledgable tour guide and really help maximize the experience!
I booked a 3-day safari with Jocky Tours and the experience was amazing! Geeman is our tour guide and he is super helpful in our tour. He knows where to bring us to see animals (I saw lions, elephants, and even cheetahs!) and will provide us info on questions we had. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend.

Amazing experience, I recommend 1000%
We booked a 5-day / 6-night safari with Suricata Safari, in the camping version.
We recommend it 100% and here's why:
- The program: it was complete and balanced.
- D1: We visited Tarangire Park: savannah atmosphere: elephants, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, warthogs...
- D2: Lake Manyara: elephants, monkeys, gazelles up close!!
- D3: Ngorongoro Crater, view from the top, Masai villages and afternoon in Serengeti. In Serengeti we saw: lions, leopards, hippos, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, gazelles...
- D4: Serengeti too. The park is very large. The landscapes are magnificent. It's the savannah, the real one.
- D5: Ngorongoro Crater. This time we went to the crater, at the bottom. The landscape was one of the most beautiful we had seen. We saw zebras and wildebeests up close, hyenas, jackals, flamingos, rhinos, hippos…
Other points that seem important to me:
- Organization: Everything was very well organized, fluid and simple.
- Our guide: Elias was very kind and had a lot of knowledge about the animals present in the parks. He was available to answer each of our questions and even learned French to give us the translation of the names of the species we saw.
- Meals: whether it was the meals we ate during the day between our game drive sessions or the meals we ate in the evening, everything was excellent. The chef is committed to ensuring that everyone enjoys themselves. The quantity was very generous. His favorite phrase: "eat as much as you can".
- Respect for animal welfare: the rules governing respect for animal welfare have always been respected. Here they are: do not feed the animals, do not scare them, do not honk at them even if they are in the middle of the road, do not touch them. This way, the animals are not fearful and approach the vehicle more easily.
- Hygiene/comfort: The camps were clean. Take warm clothes for the night. We did not have hot water every time. But the accommodations are located in very pretty places. We were lucky enough to welcome zebras walking around our camp, incredible.
- The transfer to the airport: finally, the transfers to the airport were also taken care of by Suricata Safari.
I would like to thank the entire Suricata Safari team for their kindness, their sense of service and their dedication.
I would recommend without hesitation.
