Once in a lifetime experience.
Once in a lifetime experience. Completed 5 day safari with tour guide Damion and cannot thank him enough for his knowledge and experience. Damion went above expectations to ensure we saw the big 5 and was a pleasure to spend time with for the 5 days.
We did the camping experience and all campsites were good with us having no complaints. Provided with tent, sleeping bag, mat and pillow for the duration of trip.
All our meals were cooked by Saleem and the food was outstanding. He was a pleasure at every meal and could tell he took pride in his meals.
Cannot recommend Suricata enough and would use them again in a heartbeat. Full trip was seamless with good communication at all times.

Best safari ever
This was the most amazing safari experience we have ever had! Our guide/driver was Damian, who took us to the best places to watch animals. He drove excellently, took us off-road to a great drive and told us a lot about Tanzania. We hired the lodge experience and all accommodations were incredible. The food from the lunches was made by Salim and was veeery good. Would recommend 10/10 and would come back in a heart beat.

Amazing safari in comfortable lodges for half the price as other operators
Absolutely amazing! We initially were overwhelmed when we first started looking at safari options online for our Tanzania trip, there were too many operators and way to expensive prices, but we found Suricata and it couldn't have been better. We booked the 5 day mid range safari in lodges, and the experience was incredible. Our guide Damian y our chef Salim were amazing and we got to see all of the big 5 and plenty other animals. The lodges were amazing and comfortable as well as the 4wd.
10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Amazing
We did the 5 days low budget tour. Jay Jay and Matthew were incredible guide/cook and lovely people.
The group was nice, the stays were comfortable and the Safari was really beautiful. We saw so much animals and the driver Jay Jay was so nice to stop by all the animals and he showed us the big 5!
Before the Safari there was Safina who helped us with a lot of questions due to whatsapp. Also really good!
We would absolutely recommend this organisation. Fair price/quality.

I went with 30 friends and we had the best time. Lenny took care of everything and we could just ride along. Transport, hotel, food, safari and tour of Massaj village. He was also very flexible and nice to have along for the weekend. Would absolutely book with him again!

Marco is a reliable guide, pilot and travel agent who will make your trip unforgettable
I came into contact with Marco through his services as a pilot. He was very helpfull regarding a trip through Namibia, and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every detail including booking activities. Our trip was in July 2021 but Marco was able to care of any Covid and non- Covid related issues. He has an extensive knowledge and network of local guides, lodges and hotels. Marco provides excellent communication and documentation. His service is not only very reliable but he goes the extra mile to make your trip unforgettable.
I did not hesitate to book a second trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe, part of Namibia and South Africa last november 2023. The service of Southbound Tours was again top notch !

My dream came true!!
To celebrate our big birthdays, my husband gave me the most wonderful surprise of my life by taking me to Kenia with my two daughters, something that I have always dreamed of doing. After investigating many companies, he chose Axis Africa Expedition Company, and it was a perfect decision.
Lennox, the owner, is very professional and helpful in all situations, you will be very satisfied in all areas, hotels, food and especially with the guide. The quality of the safari is excellent, and our guide, Jack, gave our whole family the most fantastic moments during the safari. If I one day return to Kenia, I am absolutely sure that I will repeat the booking with Axis.
The book and the film “Out of Africa”, thanks to everybody, is now real in my mind and in my heart. My dream came true!

Excellent, trustworthy company who go above and beyond to better serve the client
From day one, Lennox at Axis made the reservation process simple, suggesting various options at a range of prices. We wanted a private safari and to also extend our stay in the Maasai Mara by an extra day and this was all quickly and efficiently arranged. On arrival in Nairobi, one of our suitcases had been lost by the airline and again, although it was by no means their responsibility, Axis helped enormously in arranging to have the case picked up from a local airstrip in the middle of the Maasai Mara! And as for the safari itself, we cannot speak more highly of Jack, our driver who is one of the most conscientious and really genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We were not lucky with the weather but Jack sought out hard to find animals in some harsh conditions and was extremely patient while we took endless photographs! He made suggestions for a few very reasonably priced additional excursions which were a wonderful surprise and a complete delight to experience. Our family is a mix of Spanish and English people and Jack's English is perfect and has pretty good Spanish too! We hope to return again one day and will definitely use Axis Safaris again. Thanks to your whole team.

Fantastic Safari tour with great guide
Overall the experience was really great and we can only recommend to everybody to book with Imani Excursions.
Communication:
Very good and easy planning with Mike. He realized all of our wishes and requests. He always provide prompt responses despite our many different requests.
Service:
Mike booked beautiful lodges for us with friendly staff everywhere. We felt always very safe and comfortable.
Value for money:
We booked a privat tour and compared to other operators we feel like we had the best price / service level. We can really only recommend to book with Mike as there are also different options available depending on the budget.
Reliability:
100% reliability given. Everything was done according to our itinerary. There were no unforeseen issues and everything went super smooth.
Tour:
We did a 4 day safari tour including Tarangire NP, Serengeti with a hot air ballon ride, Lake Manyara and the crater. We saw the big 5 and as well as many other animals. The landscapes were beautiful and so different between the different NP. It was for us a once in a life time experience. The distances between the different places were quite long so we would recommend to stay an additional night in the Serengeti.
Guide: we had the best time with Adhadi. He was very professional and very friendly from the beginning of the trip. He knew everything about the animals, the country itself but also the culture and answered all of our questions which helped us to learn more about the fascinating country Tanzania.
Thanks for this wonderful trip and we look forward to hopefully seeing you again at some point!
