A journey that exceeded all expectations and left indelible memories.
I recently embarked on a remarkable safari adventure in Tanzania that exceeded all my expectations. My journey took me through the breathtaking landscapes of the Western Serengeti and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and every moment was filled with awe and wonder.
I had the privilege of encountering the entire Big Five in their natural habitat: the regal lion, the elusive leopard, the massive elephant, the stately buffalo, and the remarkable rhinos.
A Heartfelt Salute My safari experience would not have been complete without the expertise and dedication of my guide Mrisho, who possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of wildlife and ecosystems. Their passion for conservation and commitment to responsible tourism ensured that every step of the journey was educational and respectful of nature.
In addition, the organization of the safari was seamless, allowing me to focus solely on soaking in the wonders around me. The weather graced us with rain and mild temperatures, enhancing the overall experience.
In Conclusion, My Tanzanian safari was nothing short of a dream come true. The Western Serengeti's captivating landscapes and Lahia Tented Camps' hospitality set the stage for an unforgettable adventure. The Ngorongoro Crater provided the ultimate wildlife encounter, including the remarkable Big Five and a lunchtime memory that will forever warm my heart. To anyone seeking an authentic and awe-inspiring safari experience, Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are an absolute must.
Thank you, Tanzania, for sharing your natural wonders with the world and providing me with memories that will last a lifetime.

Our tour guide was excellent!
You won’t find a better tour company. Our tour guide (Mugisha) was the best! The service was outstanding. We went on the gorilla trek and Mugisha was with us every step of the way making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and amazing experience. Five Star service and excellent value for the money.

Super attentive to our needs and pampering at all times, they are brilliant!
Shikwaru Adventures really built a trip that perfectly met what we wanted. They were able to combine comfort, adventure to our budget. They were always present when we needed and very responsive as soon as we had a question but without being intrusive. They took us to places we wouldn't have thought of like Kliptown and totally wowed us. Our guide was lovely, our 4 kids loved it and so did we. Everything was organized to perfection, it allowed us to discover a country in a different way than what the media says, we never felt safe because Shikwaru Adventures was always there to guide us on our trip. If we had to leave, without hesitation, we would call on this travel agency. I totally recommend it to you. Thanks to Shikwaru Adventures we had a great vacation, full of adventures and in complete safety.
I hope my explanations are understandable because i know my english is not good

This is the agency you need to climb Kili with!
Almighty Kilimanjaro are an unbelievable set of human beings. Not only did they guide us from day 1 on the mountain trek, they also cooked us 3 meals a day (all great by the way); checked our oxygen levels regularly (which some other operators don't - my o2 dropped to 50% at base camp and they saved me from further damage by being aware of that); they organised trips for us back at our hotel; transferred us to and from the airport; and generally showed us a great time all with a big smile on their faces. Rashid, Yonah, Swaleh, Muntari, Frankie, Louie and everyone else who I can't name, thank you all for your care, attention and companionship - hopefully we'll meet again one day!

Unsurpassable and Unique experience
We were in the very best hands with this tour operator. Our guide Peter, with his fine sense for all our needs and his tireless commitment, made our stay in Uganda an unforgettable experience. (Of course, the wildlife and the beauty of nature played their part;)
On our excursion into the cloud forests of Bwindi National Park, we came very close to the mountain gorillas, who did not seem to be bothered by us in any way. A mother was calmly nursing her baby while the older children romped around her. The impressive silverback sat relaxed and chewing leaves next to her, letting his favourite woman scratch his head. I will never forget these intense impressions.
Actually, it was not planned, but the exemplary organisation of this tour made it easy for us to decide to book another tour, this time to Queen Elisabeth NP. Again, we were not disappointed. This completely private safari, tailored just for us, left nothing to be desired. More Africa in such a private atmosphere is probably not possible.
It was an unsurpassable and unique experience with "Big Apes" in all respects. We couldn't have done it better.

Amazing experience
Our experience with Kalahari Breeze was extremely satisfying.
We decided to book the "three river safari" tour for our honeymoon with some customizations.
Maria, the owner, since the very first email was strictly focused on our needs by preparing a tailored package and providing us with continuous assistance, always being available and quick to respond to our doubts or on-going questions.
The staff is highly qualified and always pleasant in explaining the ecosystem with specific focus on habits and characteristics of the wide range of animals we had the opportunity to see during the different safaris. Special mention to Thsidi, a thirty years old guide, very professional, friendly and devoted to his job.
We highly reccomend to visit Botswana by booking with local agencies such as Kalahari Breeze in order to reach the best price to quality ratio.

Professional and Passionate Journey
We are two Chinese travelers who have experienced an unforgettable trip in this country. The travel agency we worked with was very professional, they responded to my message very quickly and answered my questions patiently.
The guide Mr.humphrey who spent six days and five nights with us, with brilliant driving skills, and a pair of eagle eyes, is very helpful for finding animals, and has a wealth of animal knowledge and passion for nature. The chef's skills are also very good, and the daily meal will change and delicious.
We saw the sunrise and precious rhinos on the grassland, as well as the meals of Hyena, the country's protection of nature is amazing, I would like to recommend this and this travel company to all my friends.

We booked the safari with mr. Martin, from the beginning the communication was smooth and clear, he adapted our trip to our necessities and budget. When we had troubles with our flight he immediately readapted the tour with last minute notice multiple times due to our problems. The safari was amazing and the drivers super helpful and amazing guys overall. I cannot be more happy with my experience with this tour operator.

Perfect Safari experience with the best guide we could have wished for
Me and my wife just came back from a 4 day / 3 nights tented Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Suricata and absolutely loved it.
We were a group of seven people and had an amazing time getting to know the great national parks of Tanzania. Not only the communication and the organization of Suricata beforehand was efficient and professional, with Damian we also had the best guide we could have hoped for. Damian knew an answer to every question we came up with and explained everything in great detail. He was always in a good mood and made us feel like a big family. Damian also had a sixth sense for the animals and the best places to spot them, while always respecting their space and nature to the fullest. At some occasions we even were the only ones to enjoy the beautiful animals. We always took our time to carefully observe the situations and scenery which was the reason we got very lucky with i.e. unforgettable hunting attempts or really rare moments of a leopard playing with its cubs.
It was also a great experience to sleep in the middle of Serengeti or close to Ngorongoro crater while watching the stars and waking up to the sounds of grazing zebras. The campsites Suricata choose were comfortable, clean and always offered some common areas for the group and even showers with good sanitary facilities.
Delicious and freshly prepared meals were provided three times a day. That way we also got to experience a variety of traditional Tanzanian dishes. We always brought big pots of food for lunch with us, as well as proper plates and cups which not only created a little “restaurant situation” inside the wild, but also an easy way to reduce plastic waste.
In summary a perfect experience. Would recommend 100%!
