Amazing...
I was coming to Uganda for volunteerwork and i also liked to explored more of Uganda in my free time, i am a travelagent.
The first nights i stayed at Acacia Villas, a quiet, nice place, with lovaly staff, at the top of a hill, close to Acacia Mall.
There i met Benjamin, a very nice and driven person. We talked about the safaris, my wishes for the short time i had and Benjamin gave me very good advice. I also could share a landcruiser to lowe the price.
The communication with Benjamin was very good, he listen to what you want and he arranged everything in short time, great!
I liked so much the safaris, nature and excursions; Murchinfalls, rhinowalk, boattour, Lake Mburo, safari, biking and the Gorilla tracking..
Drivers and guides were very professional and the accomodations great, little lodges, glamping with beautiful restaurants en views, all i wanted.
So i enjoyed my time in Uganda very much, thank you Benjamin and also staff from Acacia Villas!

Excellent, we can highly recommend it!
We did a 5-day tour with Axis and were absolutely thrilled. Everything was perfectly organized despite we had some special wishes. Thanks to Cynthia for that. Our driver and guide Dennis was amazing. He told us so much about the country, the people, the animals and the nature, it was fantastic. We would do something like that with Axis again and again. In any case, we will book something new tomorrow. Dennis, thank you so much. We will never forget our experiences with you!

Go woth Suricata!
I've been on safaris before and this one blew me away!
We went to so many parks and saw ALL of the African animals. Our guide, Fredy, was so knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we had the best spot for animal viewing. The accommodations were beautiful. Loved the tent glamping and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the customer service at each spot was outstanding. Can not recommend Suricata Safaris enough...10 stars!

They pay attention to every detail!
This was an amazing experience. It was my first safari so I did not really know what to expect. We were met at the hotel by Mr T (not the actor) he gave us a breifing and then we loaded up in a large landcruiser with 2 other couples, and then we were off for adventure! Our guide Freddy was so knowledgeable and spoke English
Very well. We saw so many amazing animals on safari and Freddy told us many interesting facts about the animals as we watched them. The four parks we visited varied greatly in terrain and flora. The crater is a must see.
The accommodations were very nice for the price. The first 2 nights at a beautiful resort with friendly hosts. The next 2 nights in luxury tents with equally friendly hosts. There were wild animals sounds at night which I thought was exciting. The food was great all around. We were debreifed in Arusha at the end of the trip by Daniel to make sure we enjoyed the trip and to see what if anything needed changing. I had no complaints. What a trip!!!

Excellent organization and very friendly environment. Totally recommended!
We just finished out safari trips with Suricata. We are really happy with the experience. We decided to go with the camping mode and exceeded expectations. Since day one that we did a city tour of Arusha with Daniel all was very well organized and on time. Our guide during the safari, Lewis was very pleasant and he really took us very close to the animals, explaining all details. Thanks a lot Lewis! Suricata organized also meals during the safari. The chef James is an incredible cook. All meals were prepared from scratch, fresh and all days different dishes! So good!
The five day safari gave us a good overview of all animals and the different ecosystems, from savanna to tropical rainforest. Of course we saw the big five and the ugly five (which were very pretty for me) and many more! All was lush green!
The camping was very good! I would not have changed the experience for a lodge.
Life experience that I wish I could repeat!

Excellent!
We had an amazing experience with the perfect 4-day, 3-night package safari. The hotel Kwan Maritane was absolutely beautiful, the food and service were excellent, and the weather was fantastic throughout our stay.
We went on two safaris per day and saw so many incredible animals. The only one we missed from the Big Five was the buffalo, but that was because, during the summer, buffaloes are in the northern part of the park, which is not accessible by safari routes, while in the winter, they move to the more central and southern areas of the park (looking for water in the enormous lake), where we stayed during the summer. Hotel was great, services and etc great too!. There were a ping pong table, a basketball hoop, a tennis court, two pools and awesome landscapes. Thanks Ruben!

It was an unforgettable experience!!
This was my first time experiencing a game safari, and arranging the tour with Axis was a great choice. I signed up for a 4-day tour, and our driver and guide, Mr Steve, was very kind and made everyone enjoyable. Not only that, we were able to see the Big 5 on the game safari, so he is a very professional guide. I will definitely recommend Axis to my friends when they consider going on a safari. Thank you Steve for a great experience!!

Best Profesionals and very detail oriented, exceeded expectations
This safari was the dream of my life, so i was scare about having to much expectations from it. But i was lucky by contacting Suricata safaris, my dream came true even better than expected!
Everything was so well organized from the first minute. Since the moment they picked us up in the airport to the drop off they day we left. The first day Daniel, our host in Arusha proposed us a guided tour in Arusha, visiting the most art gallery and the farmers market. Daniel gave us a great and detailed explanation about the country, the city and the local market. It was great to see the high quality of the products in the farmers market, particularly the vegetables and fruits that women from the surrounded countryside sell every day to locals and also to the safari operators. We had the pleasure to eat all this products cooked by the "best" chef ever James!!!. Even my 2 teenagers girls loved his meals. James was the safari chef during the 5 days, we cooked for us every meal because it was a camping safari, and we certainly loved everything he cooked for us. He even though us a lot of swahili words!
Our guide Lewis, drove us the 5 days of safari showing us everything we could possible see. He is a very knowledgeable, kind and smily guide! We absoluty loved being withe him. He has been a guide for almost 10 years, so he knows every single corner form all thw parks we visited. Furthermore, he knows most of the others safari guides with whom he has a very nice relationship so we were able to spot and take pictures of all the big 5 and many other animals. We got a particularlly good view of a female leopard in a tree and also a climbing tree lioness. We were so lucky that we spoted most of the hervibores with offspring, but also a lionesses pride with 6 cubs!Lewis always tried so hard to get us to the best place to be able to enjoy the animals and take pictures as close as possible without disturbing the other gruops or the animals.
I highly recomend.Suricata to anyone interested in a safari in Tanzania with or without children.

Perfect experience
Cannot say enough good about the whole safari. The accommodation was top notch at every stop we had. We had the chance to see basically all animals that were listed.
Most of all, all personnel has been incredible. Mr. T and Dani at the start and end of the trip have been very kind.
Special mention goes to Freddy, our guide, who is knowleadgeable on every subject and welcomes every question with his high energy and good mood. He tirelessly drove us to the most exceptional places in order scout any kind of animal.
11/10 would recommend!
