5-day safari it was amazing
The 5-day safari that we book with Suricata Safari it was beyond our expectations.
Rocky it was our guide for the Safari, and he did an amazing job, teaching us about the animals, the landscapes, making us laugh and sharing his knowledge. We will always remember your words: THIS. IS. JUST. THE BEGINNING.
Also we want to say the food it was delicious, our chef Tito delight us with his food.
We were so lucky, we see the big 5 on day 2, including bunch of lions, 2 leopards, a chetah with his baby, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, and many more animals.
Definitely will recommend book a safari tour with Suricata.

Good driver, nice hotels, wonderful nature, car could have been better
Our driver Moses was very good and really managed to get us to the best spots to see the animals. Also, driving in the highway with traffic requires good skills and Moses did fantastic. Regarding hotels, they were really comfortable and the food was good. The only thing that could have been better is the car. We were told we were getting a 4x4 and that was not the case. After I complained we changed car, but had a detour of 2 hours to get the 4x4. The 4x4 we got was a very worn out toyota bus converted into a "safari car". I would strongly suggest to get a decent Toyota Landcruiser for your safaris (as 95% of people do).

Bluecrane Safaris is terrific!
My husband and I took a 13 day safari in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It was absolutely wonderful. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun to be with. The lodgings were terrific, and the price was very reasonable. Best of all, we saw so many wonderful animals! Bluecrane Safaris took care of all the details, so all we had to do was enjoy the trip. We saw people on safaris from other tour companies who were not so lucky; they had problems with transportation, lodging, etc. Our trip was as smooth as could be. I highly recommend Bluecrane Safaris.

professional and thorough service
The tour staff and the staff at all of the restaurants and properties were top-notch with efficiency and professionalism. Everything was always on time and as expected. The food was always very good! The tour guides and the Safari guides were knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff at the accommodations couldn't be more accommodating. The tour provided exactly what it offered. In its descriptions and itinerary.
as many others have stated I could've done more time in Cape Town especially since we were there during rainy season. I also would've liked to have seen more active experiences offered. Like biking, hiking, kayaking. I do understand that time was Limited. I've seen many beautiful places in the world. And had my breath taken away. Nowhere else in the world could I or did I experience safaris. this is what makes the travel all the way to Africa so worth it. It's an incredibly unique experience. Go touchdown tours did a fabulous job giving us this opportunity. we went on at least six different safaris. We saw all of the "big five"

Great tour leader
Our tour leader, Mr. Focus, was amazing. He was nice and knowledgable and shared alot of facts regarding different animals life style. He always tried to find different animals and provide a best angle for us to watch them. He respected our wishes to stay longer to watch migration in north.
food was good and hotels were clean. Unfortunately, alot of them didn’t have proper wifi.
There are few complains. The main one is, it seems the tour company paid for 48 hours Serengeti park entrance fee while we supposed to stay three days there. we supposed to stay in center serengeti for one day and two days in north serengeti. while it was not easy to do that by this limited time (48hrs). So after one day staying in center and one day at north, we had to change our plan from second day at north to center. Although our game drive on center also was short on third day which is a disappointed.
Also it was better if we had more detailed plan of day to day activities before starting the tour. It was not clear to us how many hours we are going to do game drives per day when we booked the tour. Eventhough they mentioned the hours of transfer per day, it was not even close to reality. We had much longer transfer time each day, almost double to what they mentioned. So the game drive per day was max 2-3 hours. It seems the person who arrange and plan the tour, he never went actually on the tour or not talk to their tour leaders to share a more realistic safari plan.
Besides, planning, everything else was good, especially our tour leader, Mr. Focus.

It's worth taking the trail to see Kilimanjaro
We did the 1-Day Shira Plateau-Kilimanjaro Hiking. The guide was attentive and kind. It's not a very tiring trail.

Exellent
2023 i travelled to Tanzania. Finding a good company for our safari was a bit challenge. After sending some emails to some of companies , whistling travel quick reply our mails. Me & my wife we had a lot of questions, Alex-Whistling Travel Tour Director answered all our questions. As we arrived in Tanzania Alex was there at Kilimanjaro Aiport waiting for us & he transferred us to hotel in Arusha. The next day we started our 4days safari. we visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. The last day we drove to Arusha airport for our flight to Zanzibar. I recommend Whistling Travel for anyone who need a safari in Tanzania !!!

Stan the Man - Keeps his promises and shows the good stuff
Wife and I rode with Stanley through Kruger National Park. Had a tremendous time seeing all the animals and hearing Stan’s facts about them - symbiotic behaviors, idiosyncrasies, etc.
Stan was clearly knowledgeable and spoke in a very engaging way. We were lucky enough to see lots of elephants, lions, and giraffes! Almost caught a glimpse of a leopard (was hiding in the grass) and we were lucky enough to see a pair of rhinoceros just a few meters away!
Would be more than happy to ride with Stan again, and absolutely dreaming of the day we can come back.
