GeeMan for the big 5!!
GeeMan is the Man. He showed us the BIG 5 in one morning. He just knew his way around the reserve. We could also make use of his vast knowledge of the animals. Topped with some great sense of humor this 3 day trip was simple memorable. Way to go GeeMan.

The best safari
The best safari
When we choose a company, we evaluate the price and the quality...wildcats combined all this without worry, it's really great.
But ultimately, what makes the safari even better is the guide... And there, with the big cats, you have exactly what you need. We had a brilliant guide, who was able to adapt to our desires and make this safari unforgettable. He was able to find the animals, worked tirelessly for it. It is dynamic and creates a very good atmosphere.
Really the best guide, it makes the difference. In addition, he can tell you about many other interesting things to make the safari very varied. You can choose them.

Very well organized and everything went well
Our guide Lewis was really nice and we managed to see the big five and many others (including cheetahs and leopards!). The food made by the cook Pius was delicious and plenty (impossible to finish!).
Regarding the camping (basic camp) the first one in mto wa mbu (Twiga) was very good and with a swimming pool. The second (dik dik) was in serengeti in the middle of the savana (beware of the wild beasts :D), unique.
The third one (Simba A) next to ngorongoro was in a very nice location with Boks, buffalos and monkeys visiting you. The only thing is the toilets that were dirty because it was a bit more crowded than the others. The last night was in Twiga again.
All in all, it was a very nice safari that we'll remember!

Very positive
I was pleasantly surprised by how the tour was organised. All facilities were very very decent for a budget safari, food was plentiful and tasty.
Also been v lucky with a guide John, who is worth a separate mention. Great guide, knows his stuff, very punctual and professional. Super cool man on a personal level. John, if you reading this, thanks for quality time and Swahili lessons

Perfect organized, trustable operator.
First of all, it was perfect. We booked a 4 days camping safari. All was perfectly organized, from the airport transfer, the hotel accomodation to the communication with Hilary. Johnson, our driver and Moses our cook are very kindly and do all, that we are feeling comfortable. The food was delicous and we were so happy to see all this wonderfull animals and landscape. We would ever choose Suricata Safari again. Thanks for this unforgettable, wonderfull 4 days:-)

Fantastic experience
I won’t make this long. The trip was fantastic from day one. Well organized, well managed, well executed.
The guides were fantastic, the accommodations were well chosen and the safari outings themselves were very well timed and the travel very well structured.
We felt secure at all times and any minor issues that came up were dealt with rapidly and professionally.
The whole family loved every minute of it.
It was a memorable experience, we saw some incredible animals, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

First class and utterly seamless from start to finish
Very difficult to put into words what we have experienced here in Tanzania. “Life changing” doesn’t even do it justice.
First, our safari company. Lion King Safaris did an incredible job in accommodating our every request - and there were many! Every email was answered promptly and professionally. We went into this trip with full expectations of lots of glitches along the way but there were NONE. Super happy with our choice and would highly recommend to anyone.
Next, our guide. GoodLuck (yes, that is his name :-) exceeded our expectations in every way. I could list hundreds of animals, including all the Big Five; that we saw up close and personal every day, seemingly effortlessly, but truly it was Good Luck and his tireless efforts that made it seem so. His breadth of knowledge about every single creature we encountered was astonishing, and his love for his country and its inhabitants - human and animal - shone through in 100 ways. We asked questions incessantly and he answered every one patiently and thoughtfully. He provided a true education of Tanzania, it’s animals, it’s people. Because of him I am walking away with a deep love and concern for this country that I don’t think I would’ve developed otherwise. I can only hope that we will meet again, in fact, it makes me profoundly sad to think that we may not.
As for accommodations:
Maramboi tented lodge, KubuKubu tented lodge, Lake Masek tented lodge we’re all PERFECT. The food, the staff, the grounds couldn’t have been better. To hear the giraffes, elephants, lions etc outside our “tents” (I use that word loosely - the accommodations were luxurious to say the least) was so special!
As for our last accommodation, Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge: It was over-the-top luxurious, literally the poshest hotel I’ve ever stayed in (and that’s saying a lot). The staff - especially Richardi, Tiesi, Ayisha, and Anna - were amazing. If you want a “Four Seasons” type experience, this place is for you. My one complaint is that Good Luck was not allowed to dine with us. Very disappointing.
To wrap this up: if you are reading this, don’t give it another thought. Just do it! And ask for - no, insist upon! – GoodLuck as your guide.

Everything worked flawlessly. Jackson and his team made us have an awesome time!
The safari was absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed all the trips and learned so many new things. The organization was flawless. Everything worked as aspected and even better! If we know someone who wants to travel to Tansania and wants to do a safari, we will absolutely recommend Jackson and his partners.
Thank you for this beautiful experience!

Always a good idea to have on you, a good amount of local currency. ATMs and Card machines are bot always reliable. Thank you Simon and Ronald
