Great trips, Great people, Great stays.
We booked a 4 day trip including hot air balloon, massai village visit and everything went smooth and great
First from the airport we got to our stay by Dennis who had a quick introduction about the trip and took us to the big gallery.
Thanks to suricata and our driver Bariq (i think that's how you spell it) we had great time, and enjoyed the trip
Bariq is a great driver with huge knowledge about nature, he is funny and talkative. He made the trip so much easier since he knows the area very well, we don't see too many safari jeeps due to our timing and the path that we follow.
We were also fortunate enough to have a fun family from Spain, Peru, and Germany which made the experience more rich since we talked about our cultures and got to know eachother alot more
Suricata is well committed to improve their trips and they sent Daniel to do a quick review about out trip when it finished, they ask what did you like and what are the things that you didn't like and how can they improve.
Thank you Suricata for organizing such a great trip.

Reliable, knowledgable, communicative and safe
We went on a 5 day safari with Ozon. It was our first time so we were a bit nervous but communication with sales person Clinton was very smooth and they were flexible to accommodate our needs and wishes. From arriving at the airport everything was well taken care of, on time and according to the plan.
Our guide Innocent was super friendly and knowledgeable, and told us a lot about the animals but also the country. We felt super comfortable with him, no crazy driving and he always put safety first, making sure we were at our camp before sundown and immediately checking the car when there seemed to be an issue with the gears.
Innocent also was respectful towards the animals. We were able to get close whenever appropriate, but kept a safe distance from more aggressive animals like the buffalo. Innocent knew the parks well, and was in constant communication with other guides so we were able to see all animals you could wish for, even a cheetah hunting and the most special of all: an elephant giving birth right in front of our car.
Lodges and camps were luxurious and felt like a 4 star experience. Highly recommend this company!

Amazing!
The tour was absolutely amazing! Everything was well-organized and on time, exceeding all my expectations.
Seeing animals in the wild was truly breathtaking! Experiencing nature up close was incredible—I felt completely immersed in it.
And the balloon ride—for anyone going on a safari, DON’T MISS IT! It was an unforgettable experience that added a whole new perspective to the journey.
Our driver, Bareq, played a huge role in making this trip special. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions and knowing exactly when and where to stop for the best photos and videos—I took so many! On top of that, he was funny and made the journey even more enjoyable.
The accommodation was excellent! From the warm welcome to the outstanding hospitality, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The food was also exceptional, and they were very attentive to any dietary restrictions.
I also want to express my gratitude to Denis and Danial, who welcomed us before and after the trip. They explained everything clearly and ensured a smooth experience from start to finish.
Lastly, a special mention to the wonderful family we travelled with—we truly enjoyed our time together!
A huge thank you to the company for organizing such an incredible trip. I would absolutely do this again, and I highly recommend it to everyone—couples, friends, families, and even solo travellers.

Amazing service
I found junglers on this website and loved that it was South African based. Rickus was great from the get go. We even got on a call and he understood exactly what we wanted.
I highly recommend them. Already planning another trip back and called Junglers again ❤️

Francis is passionate about his job. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience!
From the beginning Jocky Tours was easy to communicate with, returning my emails, extremely promptly, regardless of what time of day it was. When we went to find the office, the directions were good however, the office was not marked from outside the building. Having a sign outside, the building would be helpful. We decided to pay in cash to avoid the 5% credit card charge. Everything was exactly as they advertise for our three day, tonight to are staying at Jambo Mara and the evening and day tour. Francis gave us the option of going immediately to the park on the first day so we would have a longer time in the park and we saw all of the big five! When we talk to the service staff in the lodge, they were surprised that we saw all of the big five! He is passionate and devoted in his job! It really shows how much he loves what he does! I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone.

meets my expectation of a value for money package
-Itinerary.
The itineraries arranged for my 5 days budget safari package was perfectly arranged and executed. Not tight and rushing nor too much free time and idling. There will be mix of travellers with different itineraries and slight change of schedule (days and timings) but eventually you will get to experiece all stated on your itinerary. I noticed some idling for one of the traveller in our ride as some activities was not on their selected package. However you can still add on if you want during the rides. Mostly just entrance fee.
-Safari
The experience of safari ride is mostly dependent on 2 factors, guide experience and jeep condition. Make sure you request for open roof access from your seat if you prefer watch mostly from the top, if not you might just watch from the side window. You can actually check your seat before the final payment at the office for the balance and try sort out any difference of promised vs expectation before the ride. Get clear info during booking what you can or cant do in the vehicle. Eg. No stepping on car seat with dirty footwear.
-Guide
My assigned guide Caleb was a very seasoned and experienced guide. He managed to get hint of wild animal locations through walkie talkies and zip through the masai maara savanna short cut trails, sometimes even ahead of forest rangers for good pics and sightings. A good guide makes a whole difference on your experience. He was warm, gentle, informative and flexible and strict to keep order. Caleb was a very highly recommended guide. Do drop a good tips if you good guide.
A good guide makes a whole difference on your experience. Remember they don't have full control on schedule or accommodation changes by the operator.
-Accommodation
The accommodation was good. Make sure you get black and white agreement on procedures on room unavailability. Eg how refund, cancelled by hotel, etc. Especially if you book luxury with direct wildlife view through windows. You might want to have some control what if cancelled by hotels and refund policy.
This was my first safari experience.
I wouldn't mind booking with them again but will check my seat and accomodation ratings before booking again in future.

Sirini gave us the honeymoon of our dreams!
We had not been to Africa or on a safari before this trip. We didn't have much idea but wanted to see as much as possible – and we saw everything! Our safari with Sirini was organised very easily over email. We told them what we were most interested in doing and they designed a few different itinerary options – all of which reflected what we asked for and they allowed us to pick and choose from some of their suggestions. Deo (our guide and Sirini owner) came to meet us on the day we landed in Tanzania, even though we weren’t due to begin the safari until the following day - he gave us the friendliest of welcomes that we could have hoped for and it was the first of many examples where he and Sirini went beyond our expectations! Over the week, Deo showed us all of the big 5 – many of them more than once! But what was truly amazing was his huge knowledge about every type of animal and bird we saw, their behaviour, their habitat, the fauna/plants – we learnt so much and he made so many of the ‘smaller’ things we saw really, really interesting! Every day was exceptional! He was happy to stop and observe whenever we wanted, for as long as we wanted. The quality of the accommodation & food was excellent. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and spacious and included fridge, snacks, water, charging sockets, Bluetooth.
We were originally recommended Sirini by a friend, and after our trip of a lifetime, we will be recommending Sirini to all our friends and family too. In Deo we feel like we have made a special friend and will definitely book our next safari with Sirini!

Tanzania was one of the best experiences of our lives
Our 7 days Tanzania Odyssey Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. Each park we visited had its unique charm, from the elephants in Tarangire to the vastness of the Serengeti. Ngorongoro Crater was a highlight, with its abundant wildlife, and Lake Manyara provided a serene escape before heading back. Our guide Kudely Elnuru was exceptional, ensuring we didn’t miss any important details along the way. This safari is a must-do for anyone wanting to experience the best of Tanzanian wildlife.

Once in a lifetime safari experience.
When planning our trip to Tanzania, we stumbled over Amshar Serengeti Adventures on Insta and double checked ratings on TripAdvisor. The communication with Edward was prompt and easy. As we wanted to organize the different parts of the holiday separately, we decided for the local operator Amshar.
We started with a fly-in to the Serengeti (1,5 days), followed by Ngorongoro (1 day), Lake Manyara (1 day) and Tarangire (1 day). First two nights we stayed in excellent tented camps (Kon Tiki (preferred) and Heritage). Then we had 2 nights at Kankari Lodge, which were very comfortable and we enjoyed the pool after lots of dust on the roads. Last night in Arusha we loved the Planet Lodge with its beautiful garden. All lodges were proposed by Amshar and we were fully satisfied. Amshar additionally organized our first night on Zanzibar (before the Safari) and the transfer to the beach hotel after the Safari.
Our driver was Loth (the eagle eye). He showed us the Big Five, had additional information about the various species and involuntary showed us his driving skills, when pulling another Landcruiser out of the mud. Specially he (and we) enjoyed the playing with our 5-year old boy.
In total: This was an incredible experience and Amshar organized the whole Safari excellent. If possible, we would come back some time and would prefer Amshar again.
