Wonderful experience! Experienced guide and team for the Kilimanjaro climb
We were very happy with African Big Cats Safaris and the journey they provided to the highest point of Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route. Even though the Marangu route has an overall lower success rate due to the relatively quick ascent, our trip was well planned with an additional acclimatization day without a net ascent which helped us to adjust to the high altitude. Most of all, we are thankful for our guide Imran and his amazing team, they provided us with everything we needed for the climb. When we were lacking some medicine on the way, they provided this for us as well, and as I understood from other travellers we were more lucky in this than most (some guides do not provide additional services such as these). They were very friendly and great to travel with!
The celebrations after we returned from the peak were also amazing, with everyone we drank champagne and had a sung sang to us which you will surely also hear if you do decide to climb Kilimanjaro. The value we got for the money spent was great in hindsight, for any less than the price we paid, there could be some risk of the porters/guides not being paid properly. For this price (including tips), it seems that everyone was paid promptly and fairly.
We would recommend African Big Cats Safaris and hope you also have a great journey if you do decide to the climb!

My experience with Suricata Safaris has been 10.
From the first minute they were attentive to us, in my case I traveled with my mother and any need was attended to by the company.
Starting with the taxi driver who picked us up the first day, friendly and attentive, and continuing with:
The guide: an excellent professional, he has lynx eyesight and it shows that he is passionate about his work, he enjoys what he does and above all he reflects it on a day-to-day basis.
The cook: Brutal, every day he has surprised us with typical dishes from the African land, all incredibly good and to add that he has been very attentive and friendly at all times.
In general, everyone has a joy that characterizes them and that is contagious and is necessary on a vacation.
For my part, dream come true and it is thanks to them.

"We are very grateful to Tanja. She made our trip unforgettable!"
The combination of following the Brunel Solar Team during the Sasol Solar Challenge 2022 and visiting the highlights of South-Africa was our challenge for a 2-week trip to South-Africa. Booking a standard trip was impossible for us. We had to look for a customised trip with many fixed moments.
Via via we came in contact with Tanja in May 2022. From the first contact we had the feeling she really understood our challenge. Our agenda during our stay was Tanja her starting point; locations and dates (and sometimes times) were fixed. This had to be taken into account.
Our question to Tanja was “simple”: “Can you arrange nice accommodations, drivers, guides and excursions for us, taking into account that we will meet the Brunel Solar Team during the Sasol Solar Challenge 2022?”.
As from the start of the organisational journey it was fun working with Tanja. Good, clear and on time communication, offering opportunities for nice accommodations and excursions to get the South-Africa feeling was all part of it. The preparation time was fun already and when locations or dates changed from our side, accommodations were rebooked; this was no issue.
Our trip itself, from our arrival in Johannesburg to our departure in Cape Town, was extremely well organised by Tanja. Drivers and guides were on time and they were all well informed and entertaining. Besides the accommodations were lovely as well. We have had a fantastic trip in South-Africa.
Also, during our trip Tanja kept an eye on everything. She informed us about possible delays of domestic flights and she organised additional excursions within a few hours. Tanja took care of everything!
We are very grateful to Tanja. She made our trip unforgettable.

Right Choise is really the right choice!
The whole experience with Right Choise was amazing! Whoever books a service remotely is always afraid that something will not go well but Right Choise fulfilled everything that was agreed! We met Paul who picked us up at the airport, George's sister and Joshua! All three were incredible, but we have to highlight Joshua who was our guide during the whole Safari and, in our opinion, the best in the world! He gave us an incredible experience! Besides being an experienced professional, his friendliness and knowledge about all animals was decisive! Joshua really made an effort to show us all the animals and with him we could see all the Big 5 on the very first day in the Masai Mara.
The hotels proposed by Right Choise were also wonderful! Entire Mara at the Masai Mara and The Cliff at Lake Nakuru were a bonus that made our trip even more special! Impeccable service, quality meals, and a pleasure in helping the customer!
We couldn't ask for more about these days! At the end of the Safari, George had the polite and very kind gesture to contact us to find out our opinion about the experience and wish us a good trip. With Right Choise the experience will be truly unforgettable !

It was very well organized. The Organizers and the Guide were amazing!
The whole package hast been really great. Starring from the communication with the Organizers. They were very Kind and courteous. I did the Tour (Serengeti and Ngorongoro for 3d/2n). And it was really worth the Money.
We had a fabolous Guide that cared about the nature and was very experienced. Thanks to the whole Team.

Tour guide was excellent but be prepared to pay more in Kenya
Overall the tour was very good, our tour guide Jacob knew the Masai Mara like the back of his hand and found us more wildlife than we could have imagined possible.
The only thing that lets the tour down slightly is what you get for the price compared to other safaris in countries like South Africa. I’ve done a lot of safaris and it was more than twice the price in Kenya so you kind of expect somethings to be better - our hotel was amazing but the beds were not particularly comfortable and our lunch that was included on the last day wasn’t actually at our nice hotel it was just on the way home somewhere which wasn’t great. We would have also liked to see a bit more of the Mara Triangle rather than just the bit of park we were in as we had 3 nights, so maybe next time we will ensure the hotel is in that area.
also our car broke down a few times and especially for photography it would have been nice to have a different style - eg open sides etc. This is down the the tour operator not our driver.
As I said, for wildlife and seeing what we wanted Jacob overdelivered. His knowledge was amazing, knew how to position the vehicle perfectly for photos and he showed us so many big cats we couldn’t keep count.
I would give Jacob our driver above a 5/5 but the few other points I’ve made are something right choice can improve on going forwards.
Little things and it was almost perfect.

Great tour and great hosts. We saw all big five in first hand and experienced beautiful nature
Great value for money. All team, made of young guys, from the manager Humphrey to the guide in Arusha Fidelis not forgetting the guide in Serengeti (Magic) Mike were simply amazing. Making the experience even more rich and special. The tour in Arusha going to a boat trip in the lake, seeing the beautiful green water and ending in the kilombero market, buying the masai sandals was suoer fun. The wild life in Serengeti and Ngorogoro was just so beautiful, we saw all the big 5 and much more. Some sceneries just like national geographic.

Excellent communication. Amazing Safari experience
EATL helped us create a safari experience that exceeded expectations. They adapted their 'off the shelf' offerings to meet our requirements.
On the Safari, our guide, Jackson, did everything he could to make sure we were in the right place at the right time to catch a glimpse of wildlife at work.
Highly recommended.
