Well organized and excellent communication from start to finish
We did an 8 day Rwanda cultural experience, gorilla trekking, golden monkeys, chimpanzee tracking and wildlife safari. From initial booking to our final day we were happy with this organization and especially our guide Johnson. We did an 8 day tour of Rwanda that was excellent. Although they are based in Uganda, Bujuku tours knew we could not travel to Uganda to see the gorillas so they planned all the primate tours in 2 parks in Rwanda. Spectacular. We went to Akagera park for a game drive and boat cruise and saw 4 of the big 5. Our accommodations were good, the food delicious, our guide Johnson top notch. Air conditioning would have been nice and we didn’t have hot water everywhere but may not have let it run long enough we learned later. The company is recommended if you are looking for a great tour of Rwanda. They tailored the visit to us and were flexible on dates, unlike larger companies.

Outstanding tour from start to finish
From the initial email communication through Antonia asking for a quote everything was clear and easy to arrange.
We were provided with all our flight details for the several flights we needed, met at the airport with a name sign and taken straight into the Serengeti safari mode. Our guide was Frank and I have to say he was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about everything we asked, he managed to find all the big five and more….it was amazing.
First night we stayed in the tented lodge which was really comfortable, outdoor and indoor shower, great beds and all the mod cons you need. Again the staff at the lodges were amazing, Rahema the manager couldnt do enough for us.
Second day we again drive around the Serengeti and then left for our next accommodation. This, again was really nice but it was a long way out - undecided as to whether the long journey was worth it as we didn’t get chance to enjoy the facilities that much.
Third day we went into the crater, which was a great experience, so vast and the variety of animals here was really good - you get a chance to get really up close to the here. Again Frank made sure we saw everything the crater had to offer, he really was great.
In summary I would recommend both the professionalism and communication of the company and their choice of guide with all his knowledge exceeded our expectations. Thank you to everyone for making this trip of a lifetime so special for our group.

Responsive and trustworthy
Charles understood from the very beginning what we were looking for and what kind of safari we had in mind. Making adjustments to the itinerary was absolutely no problem either. He responded to our requests quickly, and his response times were always excellent. We really appreciated that.
The safaris were wonderful, and Benard, our driver and guide, took us through many beautiful parks and regularly shared the names of the different animals we spotted.
All in all, it was a fantastic safari experience that brought us a lot of joy.

Trip of a lifetime
From ease and information of booking with Danson, through to our actual trip with our Guide (Samuel) this was a fantastic trip.
Lots of driving, and I don’t think I appreciated how bad the Kenyan traffic can be, but not too bad. Plenty of game drive time, saw everything we wanted and more. My 9y.o daughter had her list and Samuel went out of his way to get pretty much everything ticked off.
Masai mara obviously the highlight, but both Lake Nakuru and Amboseli also great with different highlights, Samuel was extremely knowledgeable and good fun and made the trip even more special.
All lodges were great, nice food, reasonably priced and setup really well.
Can highly recommend this operator.

Excellent Safari for First-Time Visitors
This was my first safari in Africa, and I could not have chosen a better company. The communication before the trip was clear, and everything was organized perfectly after our arrival.
We saw lions, zebras, elephants, and many birds, and the guide always found great places to stop for wildlife viewing. I never felt rushed during the game drives. The accommodation exceeded my expectations, especially considering the reasonable price of the tour. Meals were delicious, and the staff were genuinely kind and helpful.
Africa Joy Tours made me feel safe and well cared for throughout the journey. I would happily recommend them to anyone planning their first Tanzanian safari.
An unforgettable safari after Kilimanjaro
I had an amazing 3-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro camping safari, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The safari was a real treat after my 7-day Kilimanjaro trek. It was the perfect way to relax, celebrate, and end my unforgettable Tanzanian adventure.
I traveled solo from the US, but I immediately felt welcome and got along wonderfully with everyone in my group, which was consist of 6 people, a Swedish traveler, and a fun family of 4 from the UK, and myself. The group dynamic made the trip even more enjoyable.
Our guide, Melita, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture, and he worked hard to make sure we saw all the animals I hoped to see. From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the incredible wildlife in Ngorongoro Crater, every game drive felt exciting and well planned. He really knew all the secrets and most the time, we were the first ones to arrive before all the other jeeps.
A huge thank you also goes to our cook, Tito. The food throughout the camping trip was fantastic. It was fresh, delicious, and much better than I expected while camping. After long days of game drives, his meals were always a highlight.
Overall, I was very impressed and completely satisfied with the safari. If you’re looking for knowledgeable guiding, great food, and a memorable camping safari experience, I highly recommend Suricata Safaris with Melita and Tito.

Amazing!
Communication was second to none, we were delayed numerous times (airline) and overtime a message was sent, we had a reply straight away, going above all expectations. Due to the airline we would have missed a day in Victoria Falls, but despite the very short notice and numerous updates, they made it happen.
The tour, what can I say about that, nothing in the English dictionary could articulate the experience we had.
Our transfer was superb, from start to finish, making sure we wanted for nothing, and then the tour, just wow. Our tour guide was the absolute best, making sure we saw everything we possibly could, and we were lucky enough to see absolutely everything. And his spotting was amazing!! He made sure we had the best experience.
This is the first time away that I wasn't eager to get home, I would have gladly stayed a bit longer.
Truly amazing people, superb service, and the scenery, game park and accommodation was stunning.

They make me feel like Home while i living a dream
We had an absolutely amazing 5-day safari experience! Everything exceeded our expectations. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which made the trip truly unforgettable.
A special mention goes to our driver and guide, who was incredibly friendly, kind and professional throughout the entire journey. His knowledge, enthusiasm and great attitude made the experience even more special.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. Thank you for making these five days so special!
