You can feel the wilderness in the remote parks of southern Tanzanie
For our first time in Tanzania, we decided to go for a 9 days southern trip because at this time of the year the northern parks are too crowded. Although we had a lot of driving to go from one place to another it has allowed us to discover some real wild places like Ruaha and udzungwa mountains national parks. Selous is also outstanding thanks to the mighty river Rufiji. The weather was not so great, as we had some rain so that we have experienced some adventurous driving on muddy tracks.Accomdodation was abobe expectation : all the places were really confortable and food was good (packed lunch was a bit boring...) In Ruaha, on the last morning we enjoyed a couple of lions mating on the other side of the river : memorable time! The birding was nor really impressive compared to other places we visited but we saw about 180 different species although our guide was not a birder.

the experience of a lifetime
My brother and I went on a four-day safari, visiting the Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were astonished at the profusion of wildlife and how close we were able to get to the animals. Our guide at Suricata Safaris, George, was amazingly knowledgeable and spotted and approached animals we would never otherwise have seen. He was also a friendly, calm and helpful person and great fun as well. Hilda, our cook, worked wonders in the kitchens of the camps we stayed at, producing absolute feasts, seemingly out of thin air. She was also a lovely person and we enjoyed getting to know her very much. The campsites were in beautiful spots and were perfectly comfortable. I am so glad that I visited Tanzania. The wide-open spaces, the warm and friendly people we met and the stunning wildlife make it an unforgettable country. I hope to return soon.

The Best Company in the market!!
My husband and I were on holiday in Tanzania and we booked through the Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club both a safari trip and a trip on the top of Kilimanjaro. On both trips we had sweet and competent guides and we have got the best service all the way through. We would definitely recommend this company!

Enchanting experience
Kaiser deserves highest ratings and reviews as last July 2017 I went with my family on a 4 day trip to Savute, Khwai and Moremi indeed it was my second trip with him previous one was on December 2016, since he hails from Sankoyo village which is situated between Moremi and Khwai he knows the terrain like his backyard of his house with his immense and experience we managed to track down leopards, wild dogs and Lions.
When it comes to wildlife conservation he is a strict school master we learned a lot from him, at the end of our trip he became one of our family member.
If you are planning to explore SKL, Moremi, savute to Kasane and Delta region he is the right choice.

Amazing Guide!!!!!
Musa was an absolutely amazing guide! He made our experience truly engaging, entertaining and educational.
He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment. He saved the day after we were let down by a different tour operator who had arranged accommodation. If it weren't for Musa it would have been a total disaster. For that I am forever grateful.
We saw so many animals on our game drive and learned so much, I was inspired to read up even more on different animals with Musa's guidance. He was friendly, honest, and we had some good laughs.
It was my first safari and definitely not the last and for any further safari I do in Tanzania, I would love for Musa to be my guide as I don't think anyone can compare !!!
Thank you Musa! You are wonderful !!!

Simply outstanding
This is simply a wonderful company to travel with. We've actually done 2 trips with them - a safari and the Kilimanjaro climb. We also recently referred a friend who had a wonderful experience. They have a fantastic knowledge of safaris, understand what's important to travelers, and have terrific guides who very patiently provide excellent service and wildlife viewing to clients.

Dishonesty and deception , Avoid!!!
Unfortunately we regrettably made the mistake of organising a Safari with this company run by Calvin Onkendi for a group of 4. We gave him our budget & he agreed to offer a midrange Safari for which he sent us pictures of what to expect and confirmed it would be private camp, he also promised we will have a private bathroom not shared and with hot water. He gave a $20 discount for the students amongst us. We paid him in cash full payment a day before the Safari and at every stage we confirmed what we were to expect. (He still has not given us a receipt)Calvin reassured us multiple times and we have this all documented in writing.
Unfortunately to our surprise we were put in a public camp site with a dirty public toilet to share with more than 50 people! I brought this up with our safari guide (who was wonderful and I will review him separately) who advised I speak to Calvin as he doesnt know anything about private camping. I contacted Calvin via message and he apologised and said he paid for private camping but somehow ‘the government’ did not fulfil its promise. He promised to give us a partial refund as soon as he gets it back from the government as he paid for private camping but they gave public camping instead. (We have this in writing)
To this day he has not honoured this despite multiple correspondence which we can provide as evidence. Instead he has changed the story and lied multiple times. In fact he even went on to make derogatory comments about me as an African woman . He also used our pictures without permission to advertise and to my friend’s horror stole her pictures from Facebook and used them without permission.
Calvin will not hesitate to lie and change the story despite all the documented evidence we have. Despite clearly documented agreement he did not honour instead went forth with excuses, insults and more unscrupulous behaviour. He is currently insisting our ‘budget was low’ as his excuse as if he was not the one who provided the price for the service and we agreed to it and despite clear correspondence that shows he acknowledged his mistake and promised to make ammends I am appalled that anyone thinks this is a good way to run a business.
Definitely would not recommend Calvin, please spare yourself the trouble and find a more honest and trustworthy broker
