Very well organized and friendly, motivated staff.
The safari with Suricata was a very special experience for us!
Many thanks to our guide and driver Fredy, who was able to answer all of our questions and was incredibly motivated and enthusiastic about nature and the wildlife. You can tell straight away that he knows his stuff very well and enjoys his job.
The accommodations were also more than great. Suricata Boma Lodge has a beautiful view over Lake Manyara. The sunrise and the atmosphere there were really fantastic. The staff is super nice and the bungalows are so chic, as is the whole complex.
The Serengeti Sound of Silence tented camp had a stunning sunset overlooking a herd of wild beasts and zebras. It was really incomparable to sit on the terrace in the evening with a beer…
The food was very good as well and there was no lack of amenities.
Our last accommodation was the Ang'ata tented camp, which didn't have a view of the crater, but it was very nice in the jungle and at night you could hear one or two wild animals sneaking by. Very nice staff and delicious food!
All in all, the safari with Suricata was an unforgettable experience and we are so grateful and happy for it!
Thanks to the Suricata Safari Team!
We would be happy to recommend you to anyone!

Amazing experience, excellent value
Savannah Explorers exceeded our expectations for our safari! Isaac was our guide and he was amazing at finding animals and stopping to give us time to enjoy them. The lodging and food were excellent. Agustin did a great job putting our trip together with a couple custom modifications. Overall highly recommended and a great value!

Would Book Again with Goldfinch 100%!
We had an amazing experience with Goldfinch Expeditions. There are many companies to choose from; however, I was thrilled to have chosen to work with Goldfinch. From the beginning, Elizabeth's communication was immaculate. She emailed immediately and offered to Whatsapp as well, which I prefer so it was very convenient! We communicated throughout the entire tour. She answered every question leading up to our trip and throughout it - down to little things like wake up times, safari details, and food/beverage offerings at the places we stayed. She was also able to help us arrange airport pickup and transport.
We did the 3 day/2 night tour! We began with a beautiful day hike around Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Roland, was kind, informative, and let us go at our own pace. The provided lunch was great and had many options. They also asked about any dietary restrictions. All of our hotel transfers were smooth and organized. We then did a two-day safari, the first day we did Ngorongoro Crater and on the second day we did Tarangire National Park. We were worried about only doing a two-day Safari, but in the end, the safaris were both SO wonderful that we saw all the animals between both days! Our guide, Malisa, was safe, intelligent, and answered so many questions! We went on the tour with a few other people and loved our co-safari goers. The safari lunches were hot and delicious and they also provided beer and wine, which was a fun bonus! The two hotels we stayed at, which were part of our package with Goldfinch, were comfortable clean and spacious with lovely staff, yummy dinners, and both (conveniently!) had pools.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the value we got for the money we paid. The tour happened exactly as it was meant and was reliable. Some details were up in the air (who will join you on the safari, what time you leave, etc.), but that is part of any safari trip regardless of agency, and none of these last minute details detracted from the trip whatsoever. The things that we could not know in advance, Elizabeth communicated all of them every step of the way and we were so pleased with the outcome.
Overall, Goldfinch Expeditions was extremely helpful, reliable, and professional. Elizabeth was also willing to assist with adding on other tours and options before and after our original safari booking. She was an amazing resource. I would reccommend Goldfinch Expeditions and would absolutely book through them again when I return to Tanzania. Thank you, Goldfinch Expeditions!

We just finished a four day safari!
we are excited by the experience we had!!! The team was excellent and very organized. They picked us up from the airport, they took care of our stay in Arusha ...then we continued with the safari.
The accommodations and the food were excellent!
But the highlight was our guide Damien! if I could I would put 10/5 stars.
Smiling, communicative, helpful and very attentive on safari, he managed to offer you an excellent life experience
Thank you Damien

Just WOW!!!!!!
We booked a four days activity to visit Addis Ababa and the Danakil Depression with Ethio Backpacker Tours, and it was an exceptional experience. The trip was impeccably organized, and the team was amazing. I loved every aspect of the service and highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore these incredible destinations.

What an experience!
A dream come true. I would never have imagined this possible. A huge financial effort but it was worth every penny and support, especially the Anderson guide, made it all possible.
Anderson was without a doubt the best guide I had on all my trips. Very friendly, understanding, in fact the best compliment I can give is that I genuinely felt like I was with a friend. And how important it is to have a guide like this when we travel hours and hours.
Tireless, always attentive to our needs, and careful with details.
Uganda surprised me positively as a European we only hear about bad things but I found exactly the opposite. A green, clean country with friendly and very welcoming people.
I loved the experience. I describe the trip with a guide and what I felt in the country because I have no words to describe what I felt with the gorillas. We don't deserve this planet. Incredible

Horrible vehicle for a luxury safari
We booked a 8 day luxury private safari. They sent an old land cruiser, dirty, no air bags, no operational seat belts, no air conditioning and a wild driver. We spent about 60 hours in that véhicule of which about 30 hours on dangerous roads between the 4 parks. Horrible, no value for money!
