The best safari experience you can ask for!
We have just completed an incredible 4-day, 3-night safari, and it was truly a life-changing experience! 🦁🐘🦒
Our guide, Adam, was absolutely amazing — we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and passionate, and went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. Thank you, Adam, for your incredible hospitality and for making this experience so special. You are amazing! ❤️
All three locations we stayed at were fantastic, and everything from start to finish was extremely well organised. We felt well looked after throughout the entire trip.
A huge thank you to the whole team at Suricata Safaris for an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Tanzania! 🌍✨

They did their best to make sure we had a smooth and memorable safari experience.
We had a wonderful safari experience with the team.
Our driver, Amani, was very patient and professional. Whenever we wanted to see cheetahs or leopards, he always did his best to find them for us. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals! He was also very knowledgeable and patiently answered all our questions, while introducing us to the different animals and explaining their behavior. He also helped my friend and me arrange our bus and ferry tickets for our departure from Arusha, which was a huge help and made our onward journey much easier. We are very grateful for his kindness and support.
Our chef, Mwasiti, also did a fantastic job. The food was delicious, and we always looked forward to every meal she prepared for us.
I’m also very grateful to Domininki for taking the time to introduce us to the team and for helping us with practical matters, such as getting a local SIM card and exchanging money.
We also met some new friends during the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Although we didn’t make it to the northern Serengeti to see the Great Migration, as the route was simply too far for our itinerary, we still had an amazing time. We really appreciated that the team could offer different options depending on our budget and arrange the itinerary according to our needs, while still making sure we had a great overall experience.
A big thank you to the whole team for making our safari such a memorable experience!

Professional,responsive and worth every penny
From the beginning, Soita was highly responsive, attentive, and professional. He took the time to understand our needs and made sure every detail we discussed was reflected in our safari package. Although the tour was not the least expensive option, the quality of service and overall experience made it well worth the price. Communication before the safari was seamless, and throughout the entire process, I felt confident that we were in reliable hands with Lensai Safaris. It was a wonderful experience, and I would gladly recommend them to other travelers.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and caring, always making sure we are safe
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya and were very happy with how everything was organized. The whole trip ran smoothly, the itinerary was interesting and well planned, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout.
Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable, attentive and caring. He always made sure we were comfortable and shared so much interesting information about the animals, nature and places we visited. You could really feel his experience and passion for what he does.
Everything was handled professionally, but at the same time the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. I would absolutely recommend this safari!

Amazing experience!
This was our first time in Africa and we had a truly wonderful experience. Tanzania is home to some many amazing animals and we got to see way more than we could have dreamed of.
The accommodation was excellent and our guide (Chaz) made sure we got to do and see everything and helped us change our itinerary.
We even saw a cheetah with her baby and the Mara river crossings. 100% recommend.

Fun, Flexible, Accommodating - we really enjoyed our experience
We really enjoyed Suricata and our tour Guide Chaz! We got lucky with many animal and event sightings and our tour guide was flexible in changing our program slightly as our wants changed which we really appreciated. The 4x4 LandCruiser was also in clean and new condition.

Personalized Safari and Travel Service with Great Customer Service
I had a great experience with Adipoformes from beginning to end. I received safari quotes from several different vendors, but Syprose was by far the most responsive and collaborative person I worked with. We wanted guidance, but we also wanted the flexibility to customize our itinerary, and Syprose did an excellent job of understanding what was important to us and tailoring our different stays accordingly.
Our itinerary included two days in Amboseli, two days in the Masai Mara, one day in Lake Nakuru, and one day in Naivasha. Adipoformes arranged everything from airport pickup when we landed in Nairobi to our final airport drop-off when we departed. After researching many different hotels and camps, we settled on some of the best places I have stayed in during all my years of traveling. Syprose provided a clear itinerary that included our daily activities, accommodations, pictures, and transportation details, which became the cornerstone of our safari. I also worked with Syprose to upgrade several of our accommodations, and that was one of the best decisions we made—the places we stayed exceeded our expectations.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we met with Silas to complete our payment. He was very flexible and came to our hotel to meet us. I was initially a little concerned about making the final payment in cash, so I opted to pay by credit card despite the 4.5% surcharge. In hindsight, I probably would have been more comfortable simply doing a wire transfer.
We first flew to Amboseli, where our safari driver and guide, Songes, picked us up. We spent the next seven days with him, and he eventually dropped us off at the airport for our flight home.
From the very beginning, Songes demonstrated his experience and knowledge of the parks. He knew Amboseli extremely well and was familiar with many of the other drivers and park rangers, which helped him quickly identify where animals were being sighted. Starting our trip in Amboseli was a great decision because we saw many of the common animals in abundance—zebras, elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, and more. That allowed us to focus more on the big cats—lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard—during the rest of our trip.
In Amboseli, Songes showed us a pride of lions with cubs on both days. One of the highlights of the entire trip was when he spotted a cheetah just before it began a hunt. He quickly alerted other drivers and the ranger, and within minutes there were approximately 50 vehicles gathered. We spent two to three hours following the cheetah and were fortunate enough to watch it successfully hunt and capture a gazelle. It was an incredible experience.
Songes was also very mild-mannered and easygoing, which made the entire trip relaxing. He never made us feel rushed or stressed. He customized our days around what we wanted to do—sometimes we were tired and simply wanted to relax—and he was always willing to stop whenever I wanted to take pictures. Having our own vehicle and guide meant that we didn't have to follow anyone else's schedule. We had the flexibility to spend more time when something interesting was happening, take breaks when we wanted, and even sleep in one morning.
Over the course of the trip, Songes helped us see all of the Big Five, as well as multiple prides and groups of lions across Amboseli, the Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. His experience and knowledge made a big difference in the quality of our safari.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Adipoformes to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
There are a few things I would mention for both the company and future travelers. The vehicle we used was somewhat older than some of the other vehicles we saw during the trip. My recommendation to Adipoformes would be to consider upgrading the vehicles, as that would make an already great experience even better.
For travelers, I recommend bringing clean clothes for each day and taking advantage of laundry services whenever possible. The parks can be very dusty! I also wish I had brought a buff or similar covering for my mouth and nose.
We also did a hot-air balloon ride in the Masai Mara. While it was a nice experience, I found it somewhat underwhelming and, in hindsight, probably would have skipped it.
One of the best decisions we made was flying from Nairobi to Amboseli and then from Amboseli to the Masai Mara. It allowed us to spend our time enjoying the parks and accommodations rather than spending eight or nine hours driving between destinations. It added approximately $500 per person to the trip, but for us, it was absolutely worth the additional cost.
Overall, Adipoformes, Syprose, Silas, and especially Songes made this an unforgettable trip. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a personalized, flexible, and well-organized Kenyan safari.
