5 day group safari tour
My wife and I decided on Tanzania for our honeymoon, a 5 day safari was the one part of the trip we were most excited about. Hillary, the manager/ our contact for Suricata safaris was always immediate with a reply when we had contacted him with questions prior to arriving in the country. When we arrived at JRO airport, he had a driver waiting for us with a sign saying out names and Suricata Safaris. The ride was easy to our hotel In Arusha. The next day we met with our guide- Bryson and cook- Saleem. They were both very accommodating to us, as well spoke very clear English. Over the next 5 days we spent traveling to 3 different and parks and chasing after all the game we could find.
Each day Bryson was so knowledgeable about the game we had seen, teaching us about the lifespans, the unique habits, the mating seasons and the diets of each animal we had encountered. Bryson’s experience mixed with a little bit of luck, we were able to witness all of the big 5, including rhino in the low sighting season. We also were front row for a lion pride feast of a zebra. We spent over an hour, front row watching the pride juggle for a turn to feast, seeing the vultures circle waiting for their turn. Bryson was so patient and genuinely excited about what we were witnessing, it was contagious.
Our cook Saleem, or chef as he wished to be called, totally lived up to his name. Our meals were so much plentiful and beyond delicious. At our request he spent the majority of the 5 days cooking local meals, mixing in a western to give us some familiar tastes of home. ”chef” is so passionate about cooking, you can taste it in every meal he made.
My wife and I were so happy with the service that Suricata provided for us. We will definitely be making an anniversary trip back to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with them.

4 Day Private Safaris with Suricata Safaris
Hi !
My husband and I chose to do a 4 day private safari with Suricata Safaris and we were blown away !! We were greeted at the airport promptly, spent one night at the Jevas hotel where Hilary (the manager) met us and gave us the details of our journey. The next days were filled with amazing views and game drives through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Tarangire Park. Our tour guide Bryan and cook Salim treated us so well, Bryan was very knowledgeable about every animal and every park we visited- he made us feel very comfortable and safe. He found the best parts of the parks where we watched a pack of lions devour a zebra - a once in a life time opportunity! Salim is an amazing chef who kept us full with tasty Tanzanian dishes! Salim and Bryan would set up and take down our tents which were very cozy - one night during our tented stay a pack of zebras entered the camp site and we had to pass them while walking to the bathroom! Couldn't ask for a better experience . Hilary was excellent with keeping in contact with us and making sure we were cared for adequately.
Can’t say enough about our great private experience with Suricata Safaris! Will definitely be back to see more unbelievable animals with them !

Amazing Safari
Trip of a lifetime
We had a safari trip cancelled by the operator at very short notice. Carol from Tekko tours responded quickly to our request for an alternative trip and arranged a suitable iteniary for us. The communication was really excellent.
We were met at the airport as arranged. Jackson, our driver and guide for the trip proofed to be an excellent driver and an invaluable source of information about the wildlife we saw and all things Kenya in general.
We visited a number of reserves and saw an amazing array of wildlife. For us it was not just about seeing the Big 5, but also the smaller animals. Under Jackson's expert guide we managed to see an abundance of creatures, anything from elephants, rhino, big cats to birds of prey and small bee eaters( and everything in between).
We had an absolutely amazing time, everything was arranged perfectly. Thank you Tekko Tours for a wonderfull experience, could not have been better!cl

The very good organization, very good attention from Olivia, and the guide who accompanied us to Serengeti excellent .. we were with him a whole day in the park And we saw the leopard on 4 occasions, herds of elephants, cheetahs, lionesses hunting. .. has been the maximum of my trip. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended
When I travel, I rarely choose small,young companies, but I decided to give it a try this time. Seven by far exceeded my expectations, especially our guide Henry! When I first looked around for tour companies, they replied to me first and all communications were so easy and timely. They also offered the best rates for the same itinerary and a surprise for early booking. :) They were flexible with my request and adjusted my itinerary accordingly. Very nice welcome at the airport to pick us up and after the trip was done, the owner called and made sure we ended our trip happily. Everything worked out well. Guide Henry was more than awesome. He is such a good driver and guide. He always knows the best places to go to during our game drive. He is knowledgeable about the animals and took good care of us on the road. We cannot thank him enough. The experience with Seven by far is really good. I recommend to give them a try to help the young company grow in Kenya. Thank you.

It was a great safari experience, full of activities and with super nice service
From the beginning Tazama tour operation was very professional, answering timely on our questions/emails. They arrived on the first day on agreed time and our adventure started. We were on 5 day private safari in mini-van with a tour guide Josh. Everything was done according to the plan plus extra. The selected lodges were very comfortable, with good food and service. Josh is very knowledgeable and skilled, you can see his passion for work. He drove us through road shortcuts so that we could arrive faster and have more activities than planned.
We were in Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara. We saw all animals, including big 5 and larger herds. We were very satisfied and happy with our choice of tour operator. WIthout a doubt we can recommend the company to everyone.

Very comfortable and well organized which made us fall into the experience of the Serengeti with won
Jambo - Have to say that our trip to Tanzania far exceeded any pictures or stories about the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, or the Ngorongoro Crater I had before our 11-day visit. A major part of the beauty of the trip was due to the organization of Earthlife Expeditions and having Daniel Balela as our guide. I left with lots of pictures but most of all, memories of the stories Daniel Balela told about the animals and culture as we toured the areas. A visit to Mosquito to River Village provided insight into village life and it’s people, especially the children.
I highly recommend Earthlife Expeditions and suggest everyone travel with Daniel Balela Barabojick.

Incredible Safari experience
Recenlty came back from a 5 day safari with Wildways. Firstly the booking experience was incredibly easy and professional and Alpha was always prompt with his replies. He helped us to create our safari route based around the lodges we wanted to stay at, and offered advice on where to go. Even after our Safari ended and we had trouble with our connecting flight to Zanzibar, Alpha liaised with the next hotel to ensure we were sorted - great service!
The safari itself was incredible. We went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro crater and the Serengheti. Mariki our driver and tour guide was so knowledgable of the animals and their habitat and we always seemed to be right in the thick of the action. He seems to read the animals behaviour and movements and we always ended up with front row seats to the most amazing experiences. His passion for his job and the animals was incredible, and it was a genuine pleasure having him as our tour guide. I dont think our safari experience would have been the same without him. The truck was clean, tidy and always fully stocked with cold drinks and even had wifi for us to send our pictures back home! All in all a fantastic experience. If anyone is ever thinking of doing a safari, i would recommend Wildways time and time again
