The most amazing experience in my life!
This experience was totally worth the price! I wasn’t expecting such a high level of service: all the hotels were lovely and comfortable, the food was delicious, and everything was smoothly organized!
Suricata Safaris provides transfers to and from the airport, a comfortable Land Rover with chargers and plenty of cold water inside, as well as accommodation before, during, and after the safari if you need it.
And I’m especially thankful to our driver, Lewis, who knows everything about wild animals and nature, knows how to find them, and tells you interesting stories about them in perfect English. He is also a very good driver and a really nice person!
We went on a 4-day mid-range safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.

Lewis turned an amazing safari into one of the most unforgettable trips of our lives.
We did a 4-day, 3-night safari with Suricata Safaris, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the experience honestly exceeded our expectations.
The biggest reason was our guide, Lewis. He was absolutely fantastic.
Lewis has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and nature, but what impressed us even more was his ability to actually find the animals and understand what they were going to do next. We saw the entire Big Five and almost all of the Ugly Five, as well as lion cubs, lions hunting, cheetahs running and an incredible amount of wildlife throughout the trip.
One moment perfectly explains why Lewis is such a great guide.
At one point, many safari vehicles rushed toward a group of lions and crowded around them. Lewis did the opposite — he drove away. At first we were a little disappointed and wondered why we were leaving the action.
He simply told us to wait.
He looked around carefully with his binoculars, moved the car to a completely different position and asked us to give it a few minutes. Lewis had noticed elephants moving toward a waterhole and understood that their route would affect the lions and make them move.
And that is exactly what happened.
A few minutes later, the lions walked straight toward us and eventually lay down right in front of our vehicle. While most of the other cars were still somewhere behind, we were almost alone with the lions.
That moment says everything about Lewis. He does not simply follow other safari cars — he understands animal behaviour and thinks ahead.
Apart from being extremely knowledgeable, Lewis was also incredibly polite, punctual, calm and tactful. His English is excellent, he is very easy to communicate with, and he knows when to explain something, when to joke and when to simply let you enjoy the moment.
We spent full days together in the vehicle and never once felt uncomfortable or tired of being around him.
Another thing we really appreciated was how flexible the safari felt. Lewis constantly paid attention to our reactions. When we were fascinated by an animal, we could stay as long as we wanted. When he noticed that we had seen enough, we moved on and started searching for the next thing. It never felt rushed or like we were simply following a fixed schedule.
The vehicle was a large Toyota Land Cruiser, perfect for safari. Visibility was excellent, there were charging points, plenty of water, and even wildlife reference books inside about birds, plants, acacias and other things we were seeing along the way.
Accommodation was also very good. We stayed in proper comfortable places, breakfasts and dinners were usually buffet-style, and even the lunches during game drives were much better than we expected. Since you are often eating literally in the middle of nowhere, lunches were picnic-style, but we still had proper hot food such as rice and chicken rather than just sandwiches and snacks.
Before the trip, safari initially seemed quite expensive to me. After experiencing it, my opinion completely changed.
It was absolutely worth the money.
You are not just paying to drive around and look at animals. You are getting access to one of the few places on Earth where an enormous wild ecosystem still exists in front of you almost exactly as nature intended.
For me, this was also something bigger than just a holiday. I genuinely did not expect our planet to still have places this wild, beautiful and alive.
Seeing Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in person, watching lions, elephants, cheetahs and countless other animals living freely in their natural environment was something I will remember for the rest of my life.
Would I recommend Suricata Safaris to friends? Absolutely.
Would I go again? 100%.
And if I returned, I would specifically ask for Lewis to be our guide again.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience - highly recommended!
We had a truly lovely experience from the very first moment we got in touch with the tour operators. From the warm welcome and greeting to the professionalism of our driver and tour guide, Steve, everything was excellent.
Steve made our experience unforgettable. He was incredibly kind, polite, and knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting information about Kenya, its people, culture, and everyday life. He also made a great effort to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible, which made the safari even more special.
All in all, we were extremely satisfied with the entire experience and would highly recommend this tour. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to Steve, for making our trip so memorable!

The 10-day safari trip was perfectly organized according to our wishes.
We had picked out 5 different providers. Akondo responded to our email inquiry the fastest. The staff member also quickly addressed our requests to change the tour and made the changes accordingly.
We would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful organization of our safari.
We also saw the "Big 5" and even the "ugliest animals in Africa😉" .
It was a fantastic trip for us, also thanks to our driver Richard and the interpreter Dahuti.
The accommodations and the food were perfect as well.
The balloon ride was absolutely the highlight.
Once again, many thanks for everything and we will definitely recommend your agency Akondo.

An Unforgettable and Wonderful Safari
We just returned from our 7-day safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central and Northern Serengeti), and had an unforgettable experience. we highly recommend our agent—KLA Adventures and our guide Ziggy. From the very first email to the final farewell, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
The pre-trip communication was smooth and prompt. Every question was answered timely, and they satisfied almost all our requests and preferences.
We compared several agents before booking, and their quote was not only reasonable but offered exceptional value for the level of service provided. There were no hidden costs, no surprises — just honest, transparent pricing.
Our guide Ziggy was the highlight of the trip. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and endlessly patient. He offered expert advice whenever we asked, but always respected our decisions. His eyes were astonishingly sharp; he spotted animals we would have completely missed. More than that, he knew each animal’s behavior and shared a lot of interesting facts throughout the journey.
What truly set him apart was his deep respect for the animals. During river crossings, he didn’t just race to get close. He positioned us carefully, ensuring we had the best possible view without disturbing the animals. He understood animal movement patterns and often predicted where they would go, so even if we weren’t the first vehicle to arrive, we frequently ended up with the best position.
He also taught us the meaning of pole pole — slowly, slowly. Instead of snapping a photo and rushing off, he encouraged us to linger, to watch, to wait. And because we stayed longer, we witnessed so much more. Yet he always checked with us asking if we were ready to move on or wanted more time. That balance of patience and respect for our wishes made every game drive feel personal and unhurried.
This was a trip once of my lifetime, and it exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for an agent that combines professionalism, fair pricing, and a guide who literally cares about both his guests and the wildlife, look no further. We are already dreaming of our next safari with KLA and Ziggy.

Interesting and fun experience
Booking the Safari with “Somewhere in Africa” was very easy and fast.
The person in charge of the bookings made sure we had plenty of offers to choose from, each their unique value.
Once booked they informed us with plenty details so we did not have to worry about any logistics.
The flights were booked with a good flight operator (the one’s in Tanzania aren’t all very good, nor reliable), like this we did not have to worry about flight delays or any cancellations.
The Safari itself was completely private and very comfortable.
Our driver “Charles” had some interesting stories about the culture and the animals.
He did his very best to find all the animals we were looking for and gave us the absolute best value for our money.
We are very happy with the overall communication, logistics and experience “Somewhere in Africa” provided for us.
Very recommended to book with this company!

Perfect Fantastic Safari Trip
This safari company is a wonderful hidden gem! Maggie and our guide Sam were fantastic. They tailored our itinerary well and offered a fair price.
It was our first safari, everyone from the Bison team and Kenya was so friendly. We didn’t need to worry anything. Sam drove safely and spotted amazing wildlife for us. He is a really charming and professional guide who always reply our questions patiently. No hidden fees or pressure for tips. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience
This trip to Tanzania has been incredible, and without a doubt, it was possible thanks to Wings of Africa. Both before arriving in Tanzania and during the trip, this company answered all our questions about the activities we were doing (safari and trekking) and adapted everything to our suggestions and needs. The safari experience was extraordinary! We were so lucky to see such a huge variety of wildlife over those 5 days. Of course, our guide Aron’s experience was key to spotting so many animals.
Tutaonana baadaye!
