Amazing 😻
We had an amazing Kenya safari experience with Axis. The planning process was smooth, and Tabitha was incredibly responsive, helpful, and prompt with every query. Our guide, Khalifa, was outstanding—professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara. His expertise helped us spot incredible wildlife and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend Axis for anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Outstanding company
We first heard about Suricata through some friends who had done a safari with them a few years ago, and based on their recommendation, we decided to book our trip with them. We’ve just come back, and it was an amazing experience!
We booked a 7 days trip - Adventure Camping Safari.
From the very beginning, the Suricata team was professional, helpful, and flexible. While planning the trip, they took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us create an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Communication by email was always quick and easy.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything was taken care of, and honestly, they exceeded our expectations. But what really made this safari unforgettable was our guide, Anton.
Anton is kind, friendly, considerate, and incredibly skilled at spotting and tracking animals. He always did his best to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, often taking less crowded routes and avoiding the same spots so that every day felt different. You can tell he genuinely loves his job, and his enthusiasm makes the whole experience even more special. Thanks to him, we also learned a lot about animal behaviour and the ecosystem.
We should also mention that he is an excellent driver. He was always careful and responsible, and we felt safe throughout the entire trip while still managing to get everywhere on time.
We spent an incredible week with Anton and are very grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and great sense of humour. He played a huge part in making this trip so memorable.
We would also like to thank Jeremiah, our chef. He prepared delicious meals every day and made sure we had a balanced and varied menu throughout the safari. He was a bit shy—like a leopard hiding in the bushes!—but always kind, professional, and ready to help. We really appreciated all his hard work.
We would definitely recommend Suricata to our friends and family and would happily travel with them again.

Kenyan Safari with Hiking
Kenyan Safari (with hiking)
Just had a nice itinerary in Kenya, and thought I’d share it. The focus of this itinerary is “if you enjoy hiking, and are afraid safaris being 6-10 hours of car time for a week straight”. Safaris are amazing, and also similar to a cruise… lots of delicious buffets, lots of lounging time, if you’re not careful, you’ll put on some pounds.
Day 1: Late arrival in Nairobi
D2-3: tour company drove me to ol pajeta. I highly recommend Ol Pajeta and the rhino sanctuary to see the last two northern white rhinos. I also strongly recommend the Maisha Sweetwaters camp for your stay.
D4: broke up the safari with a day hike of Mount Kenya. Most of the information you’ll find on Mount Kenya calls for a 3 or 5 day hike. If you want to make it to the highest hike-able peak, or if you want to climb to the tallest peak, you will need at least one overnight camp, but if you’re used to higher elevations (ie hike the Rockies, alps, Andes) you’ll be fine to make it up a lot of the mountain with a day trip. I made it to the second day camp site (25km and 1200m very change, peak 4200m), which was a lot, but worth it. I stayed in ol pajeta that night. If you are a strong hiker, and start early in the morning, and get a strong guide, you might be able to hike to the top in one day, but I’ve never hiked above 4,500m, so I don’t know how much it slows you down.
D5: flew to Masai Mara and did a game drive. The tour company offered to drive me from ol pajeta to lake naivasha and then to Masai Mara. This would save money. But I thought the bush plane experience was fun, and it cuts 5-10 hours of total car time out.
D6-7: game drives. Used the pool as my exercise.
D8-9: went to lake naivasha area to break up the drive from Masai Mara to Nairobi. Biked and hiked around hells gate and Mt Longonot. Highly recommend Mt Longonot as a hike.
D10: boat safari and walking safari at lake naivasha. Stop at Nairobi national museum to kill time before getting on the plane.
Overall: Really cool trip, got to see the Big 5 along with other animals. Got to see a lot of predators going after prey. Trip was last week of May, which was perfect weather. Food was delicious everywhere. I made it a solo trip. It costs some money, but it’s a cool bucket list type trip. Highly recommend.
One adjustment to consider if you want more hiking (not sure if this is a common consideration haha): I wish I could’ve fit in aberdare national park for some good hiking. Maybe one less day of safari, and instead of flying to Masai Mara, drive to Abedare as the half way point. It would be a lot of driving, but could be cool.
For tour company, I used daylight adventures. They did a great job working with me (I booked everything two weeks before the trip, so very short notice). Michael and Ken were my safari guides, both amazing. Joseph and Joshua were my hiking guides at Mt Kenya and Mt Longonot respectively, both were great. They’re very flexible and helpful if you want to make adjustments on the fly.
