Suricata made our 5-day safari unforgettable—amazing guides, seamless, and stress-free!
The briefing from Dennis at the beginning of our trip was incredibly thorough. He ensured we had everything packed and ready, leaving no detail overlooked. At the end of our safari, Daniel took the time to listen to our feedback during the checkout briefing, genuinely caring about our experience.
What made the experience even better was how easy Suricata Safaris made everything for us. We didn’t have to worry about anything—our only focus was to enjoy the incredible 5-day safari. From start to finish, it was a seamless and magical journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through such an amazing adventure. Highly recommended!

The most amazing experience of my life!
We recently returned from our 5-day honeymoon safari in Tanzania with Suricata Safaris, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! From the very start, they helped us create our dream itinerary, ensuring we visited all the parks we wanted, including an incredible hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti.
Our journey took us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, and each park offered a unique and breathtaking experience. The accommodations were absolutely top-notch! For our first nights, we stayed at Suricata Boma Lodge, which had the most amazing view of Lake Manyara. We then moved to a camp in the heart of the Serengeti, where we were completely immersed in nature. Our last stay was near a Maasai village, which added an authentic cultural touch to the whole adventure. Each lodge and camp was perfectly matched to the area and enhanced our experience in ways we could never have imagined.
The highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, Freddy. His passion for Tanzania and its wildlife was contagious, and his knowledge was incredible. Not only did he show us the Big Five and so many other animals, but he made it feel like we were in the middle of a fascinating wildlife documentary or a science class! His enthusiasm made every moment exciting and unforgettable.
The Suricata team went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and safe. Dennis guided us from the very start at pick-up, and Daniel made sure everything was seamless at drop-off. Their attention to detail made us feel like we were in good hands the entire time.
We couldn’t recommend Suricata more. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special!

Super Africa Wildlife and Adventure Safaris – SAWAS – An Excellent Experience
We, three tour buddies, recently (August 15-24, 2024) completed our 10-day Kenya-Tanzania Wildlife Safari with the help of SAWAS or Super Africa in short.
We can summarize it as a top class, well planned and executed tour one can expect. It was absolutely mind blowing how SAWAS managed the complicated tour extended over 10 days and two countries. We were amazed by the service provided by SAWAS right from the arrival in and to the departure from Kenya.
This is our long-time dream, like many others, to visit the animal migration during the peak season, which is typically the month of August. I started contacting tour operators both in Kenya and Tanzania from November of 2023. Never been to Africa before and I was overwhelmed with the range of quotes and tour options provided by different tour operators.
I found SAWAS or Super Africa, to be the most optimal choice – Mr. Martin of SAWAS replied to my numerous emails and queries right away with every information I requested for. I sent them a custom-tailored tour plan, a circular trip rather than going and coming back on the same route, and SAWAS accommodated the plan within the original budget. The budget was based on mid-range to luxury accommodations.
With other tour operators the 10-day plan was actually covers 9 days, the SAWAS not only made it full 10 days they also included accommodation for our arrival day as well. They eventually made the tour for 11 days including the day we arrived, early morning of August 14th. They also requested the hotel for our early check-in and it helped us a lot as we just completed a 40-hour journey from Canada.
Mr. Martin clearly mentioned the details of the plan in a nice document including the payment options and everything was executed as per the plan. Mr. Martin met us on August 14th to explain the tour which to be started at 7:00 am on August 15th.
Sam, our driver and guide in Kenya, was right on time on 15th and our journey started on the right footing. Sam is very friendly and willing to help for everything we need, and I cannot appreciate Sam more – he looks after every details even before we asked and tried his best and we received our out of world experience – we saw lion chase right on the first day to numerous animal sightings including leopard eating a gazelle.
We crossed the Kenya – Tanzania border via Isebania border and the border crossing was smooth. Our Tanzanian driver and guide Shedrack was already present at the border when arrived there. I was little worried about the transition – but Sam and Shedrack are very professional and took all our worry away.
Shedrack is an excellent guide with huge knowledge of geology and cultural history of the area and people and made our Tanzanian experience as memorable as the Kenyan one. I simply cannot forget their timeliness, friendliness, professionalism even when we were starting at 6:00 am or 6:30 am, everyday, for a long 12-13 hours day. Every morning, they greeted us with big smile.
On our return to Kenya, Sam received us at Namanga border in the morning and to do so, he needed to start very early morning from Nairobi. He later drove pretty much whole day for game drive as well.
Mr. Martin invited us to The Carnivore restaurant on our last evening in Nairobi and provided the transport as well from our hotel. Mr. Martin also provided the transportation to the airport next day.
I need to mention a help, which seems small but actually big in my mind – I went to Nairobi GPO and bought some commemorative stamps. The GPO forgot KSH 2,750 when calculated the total cost. They called me later regarding their mistake and requested if I can transfer the amount. I requested Mr. Martin and he transferred the amount in less than a minute. This is I mentioned to show how SAWAS treats their guests – I found it incredible.
Our experience with SAWAS or Super Africa is simply unbelievable – I do not think I could ask more.

Just perfect!
Booking and coordination with Diamant Tours was without any problems. I was picked up on time on the day of the excursion itself. The tour was great! The guide gave a lot of information about the individual stops. I felt very comfortable and came back with a lot of knowledge. I will definitely book more tours with Diamond Tours!

Very well organised tour that covered our needs. The Murchison NP accommodation was below standard
We had a great trip enhanced by our guide Barluku. He went out of his way to ensure we had some amazing experiences. The best of which were the Rhino Sanctuary, the chimpanzees and the Gorillas of course. All of which we viewed from between 2 to 3 meters away. This was totally unexpected but what unforgettable experiences. Barluku was friendly with a great sense of humour. He gave us insight into life in Uganda and is very well connected and made things happen for us. 5 star tour guide.

The best travel operator I have ever dealt with.
My experience with Priyal and her team at SVAI was outstanding. From the outset, the process was seamless, the planning and execution of my travel arrangements were handled efficiently. This is a critical aspect of travel services, as it sets the tone for the entire journey.
Travel Arrangements
Booking travel can often be a daunting task, especially when it involves multiple destinations such as a safari and beach resort. The fact that i was well looked after. Priyal’s team provided personalized service, which is essential in ensuring customer satisfaction. It’s noteworthy that I had never met Priyal before booking my travel; this highlights the trust and confidence i placed in her expertise based on prior interactions or recommendations.
Safari Experience at Selous Nyere National Park
The safari experience at Selous Nyere National Park was remarkable. Selous is one of Africa’s largest game reserves and is known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Spending quality time there with my son and nephew likely created lasting memories, particularly given the unique experiences safaris offer.
Luxury Stay in Zanzibar
Following our safari, staying four nights at The Mora hotel in Zanzibar signifies a transition from adventure to relaxation. Zanzibar is renowned for its beautiful beaches and rich cultural heritage. Describing my stay as “the ultimate luxury” the accommodations met high standards of comfort and service.
Final Days in Dar es Salaam
Concluding our trip with four nights in Dar es Salaam. As Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam offers a vibrant atmosphere with various beaches and great food places.
Personal Touch by Priyal and Her Family
Meeting Priyal and her family further enhanced our experience, showcasing her commitment to hospitality beyond professional obligations. This personal touch can significantly enrich a traveler’s experience, making us feel valued and welcomed.
Recommendation
I strongly recommend Priyal and her team to others seeking holidays in Africa! The level of service was beyond my expectations.
