The most enchanting and perfect experience I had in my life. Suricata is amazing!
My name is Mateus (@Matrips_), and I’ve traveled to over 50 countries around the world, but my experience with Suricata was by far one of the most surprising and impactful ones ever!
We did a 5-day safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and the Great Migration, staying between tents and lodges, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
From the first contact on WhatsApp, Suricata’s service was flawless. The team’s attention, care, and dedication were obvious in every detail.
From the moment they picked us up at the airport to the last minute of our adventure, their kindness, professionalism, and passion for what they do shined through the entire time.
During the whole safari, our guide was EZEKIEL, and I honestly don’t have enough words to describe him. He was incredible—super helpful, always in a good mood, extremely knowledgeable, and knew everything about the animals and nature around us. He patiently answered all our questions and did everything possible to give us the dream experience, going above and beyond to find all the animals we wanted to see. He exceeded all my expectations, which were already high!
Honestly, it was extraordinary. Suricata is a company I recommend without hesitation, from start to finish! It was a perfect experience, way beyond what I could’ve imagined.
Everything was perfect from the start. You can trust that they’ll give you the best experience of your life.
Thank you!

Magical Experience
It was a very beautiful experience. Cynthia was responsive and reachable for communication all throughout. Our guide- Jony was great. We were able to spot the 4 of the big 5 and many others too. It was truly magical. Would love to come back and experience this one more time.

excellent journey！
I would like to thank Ozon Light Tours for allowing me and my friends to experience a pleasant and romantic Safari. Edward, our guide, was a big part of what made us feel so happy on our journey. Edward is young and handsome, but he is a very experienced and responsible Safari guide. First of all, he has excellent driving skills and super safety awareness, so there is no need to worry about riding in his car. Secondly, he has a very strong sense of time and is also very calm. He is very serious when he works and has a very good understanding of animal habits, which helps us to popularize a lot of professional animal knowledge. The most amazing thing is that his eyesight is very good, every time he can see animals from a long distance and tell us. He is also very good at communication and speaks fluent English and French. It is also smooth and efficient in solving difficult problems for us. We are so lucky to have Edward, who has made all our wishes come true and we have seen all our favorite animals. He loved what he did, he always cared about our feelings, and we were happy to be friends with him. Tanzania is a very magical and beautiful place, I hope you can meet a gentle friend like Edward and enjoy every trip.

Worth the price!
Our safari experience was overwhelmingly beautiful and exciting. Thanks to Johnny Jackson, our guide, we were able to see 2 of the big 5 on the first day itself. On the whole trip we covered 4 of the Big 5 and 4 of the ugly 5. And the landscape overall was ecstatic. We were the first jeep in the park to spot male lions chilling near a pond in the morning, again thanks to Johnny. I think his skill is unmatched. We only missed out on spotting the rhinos.
Detailed Experience:
We started planning our trip to Kenya in Oct'24 during July-Aug and exploring options for Safari online. Searched online, asked friends who have visited etc. We finally decide to go with two tour operators but Axis Safaris came out as winner as they were in our budget and promised a good Safari.
From the start, we reached out to the contact number mentioned on the website via WhatsApp and Cynthia replied to us. Communication with Cynthia was easy and straightforward. She was responsive and answered all our questions. All her responses were timely.
Coming to the tour, we booked a 3 day tour which includes pickup and drop-off from Nairobi, food three times a day and accomodation, and lastly ofcourse the safari game drives. It costed us USD650 per person.
The safari was, as mentioned on the top, exceptionally beautiful. It beat my expectations. The camp we stayed at was good. Food was okay, breakfast was the best of the three meals in the day. The staff at the camp were very helpful and friendly. We had to charge our phones and cameras from 6 pm to 10 pm at the camp as there is no power and they switch on the generator during that time, which we thought would be a problem but we managed to charge all our devices fully.
To conclude, I would recommend Axis Safaris for booking your safari at Masai Mara.

Nothing short of perfect
My family and I just had the best 6-day safari with Norine Forbes Safaris which was nothing short of amazing! The trip was flawlessly organized, and we were well taken care of by Anthony, Charles, and Paul, whose efficient work made the experience so smooth. A special highlight was seeing Mount Kilimanjaro—though it was a bit shy at first, we eventually enjoyed a stunning view of it, along with a majestic herd of elephants.
The best part for me was at Lake Nakuru National Park, where I had the thrilling experience of spotting rhinos up close. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari, I highly recommend Norine Forbes Safaris for their exceptional service and planning!

good value for money
the safari was great, the guides were excellent and in the main the places we stayed were top draw. the visits to the national parks and the glides we had there were also superb., we saw lots of wildlife, we felt well looked after by all the people we interacted with on the trip. the food was plentiful and good both in the lodges and that made by the guides. good value for money and more importantly we saw plenty of stuff.
the head office did change our last accommodation at short notice for a place that was not as good as the original and the first place in the rhino sanctuary is not quite as described, but these are minor things
