My experience was truly unforgettable
My friend and I went on a 5-day safari with Agustino, which included two nights in lodges and two nights camping. We weren’t sure what to expect - what we were met with was the thrill of a lifetime. If you’re nervous about camping, don’t be. It’s a magical experience to wake up amidst the zebras just in time for sunrise, and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. The food was always warm, delicious, and made with love - while other groups had lunch boxes, we always picnicked with a full spread of delicious dishes prepared that morning. And Agustino himself was awesome, I cannot compliment him enough! He answered all of our questions and showed us more wildlife than I could have ever imagined possible to see, and we danced and laughed and made friends for life.
Thank you!!!

Had a great safari with Joseph
We had a wonderful safari experience! Our guide Joseph was amazing- extremely knowledgeable and truly outstanding at finding and identifying animals (even rhinos which were very far away) while driving! The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a slight error in our reservation because the person we booked with had left the company, which resulted in us waiting a little bit at the airport, but Ally stayed late to make sure we got sorted out- including putting us in a nicer hotel than expected the first night- and they absolutely made up for any small inconvenience with amazing hospitality. Daniel was waiting for us when we arrived back and they made it easy to get our luggage and get to our next location. We ended up booking another day tour for the following day with the same group.

Funny and engaging
The tour was a very surreal experience to see the animals up close in person. The group was fun and worked as a team to catch the amazing views. We saw 4 of the big 5 plus some much more. We really enjoy the safari. We only wish we would have stayed at the lodge to have the full experience. Next time!

Great Safari and Camping
We had 5 wonderful days, Damien is a very friendly and funny guide. James was the cook and the food was great, we had a fresh meal everytime during safari. Camping in Serengueti was a very unique experience, thanks to Maleo who made sure our tents and conditions were good! totally recommend, good value for money. The only thing to improve would be more information about the animals during the tours.

Professional and calm
We were driven by Elinas for 6 days and had the chance to do 3 safaris. Elinas is a professional guide, he speaks good French and English. He is calm, relaxed and a little shy, he does not speak continuously and answers questions. He knows the reserves well and has a good culture of the animals. We also ate hot picnics every day, they were local dishes, really very good.

Reliable and fun tour operator with a good value for money
Our Budget Group Safari was an unforgettable experience. During the 6 days went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Our highlight was Masai Mara. We were able to see the Big Five 😊
Our guide Moses knew everything about the animals, was very motivated in finding them and kept the group enterntained with his humour.
The car was a bit old though.
We were a bit surprised that we did not stay with the same group for the whole Safari. It makes sense, but sometimes you might lose some time waiting for new people to join. It did not bother us, it is just something you maybe should be prepared for when booking the group safari. We think it is the same with all Budget Tour Operators.
The accomodations were good, we especially liked the Mara Enkorok Camp (it was an upgrade which we don’t regret). We can also recommend the massage at Hills Court Hotel!

Great Camping Safari
We are a group of five Portuguese travelers who went on a 5-day safari with "Suricata." Overall, we are very satisfied with the experience. We spent one day in Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti, one day in Ngorongoro, including the crater, and one day in Lake Manyara.
We chose to stay in tents, and we believe this was a fantastic option as it allowed us to have a more immersive safari experience. We were very satisfied with the organization of Suricata, which met our expectations.
In terms of animal sightings, the safari was spectacular. We were able to see the Big Five and many other animals, such as hyenas, hippos, wildebeest migrations, giraffes, and more. We even witnessed several hunting scenes and lion prides feeding.
Our guide, Damien, kept the atmosphere lively and engaging throughout the trip. Communication with him in English was very easy. He was always flexible and willing to adapt the daily plans to our preferences. When it came to finding animals and facilitating sightings, he was excellent. However, we feel he could have been more proactive and detailed in sharing information about the animals (biology, habits, and theoretical explanations). This is perhaps the only area that could have been improved.
Food was good and tents were nice.
On top of everything, the price they offer for the service provided seems very competitive compared to what we found elsewhere.
They asked as to do a review in the end of everything, and here it is!
Thank you guys, the review is sincere, we really loved it!

Excellent service and safari experience! :)
Our tour guide, Francis, made this week of safari experience unforgettable in a positive way. We saw the Big Five and many more animals across Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli National Parks. Francis always found the best spots to see the animals and provided professional off-road driving.
He took into account our needs for stops and other requests. It was great to answer all the questions we had.
