James was the best tour guide ever!
We had an amazing time on our 6 day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. The accommodations and food were great. We had James as our tour guide, and I highly recommend him! He went above and beyond to ensure we saw all the animals and knew so much about them! He was also a great driver, we felt very safe with him! Before the trip, Alex was always quick to answer any questions I had. Thanks Lenchada Safaris!

Amazing experience up Kilimanjaro
I will admit, I was a bit doubtful about hiking Kilimanjaro with Suricata since it seems like they specialize in safaris and when you do something like this you want knowledgeable and experienced guides. DONT let that deter you. Fredi, Omary, and Augusti were amazing guides with over a DECADE of experience and 100s of summits. (For reference we did the 7 day lemosho route)
First off, the logistics and communication was amazing. Hilary (the company owner) responded to all our questions and concerns and was super patient with us. Setting up our pickup/drop off, hotel stay and everything was taken care of and included.
The guides always focused with our goal of not only making it up the mountain, but making it up safely. They checked in on us multiple times a day to make sure we were feeling well and even if we weren’t they did everything in their power to make sure we were while still pushing us to reach our goal. They honestly felt like family by the time we got down the mountain. They were all super knowledgeable and complimented each other very well. All of them were also super transparent to us and made sure we were transparent to them to make sure we had the best chances of summiting.
The porters did an insane job. For a group of 7 we had 21 porters that moved our duffels, tents, dining tents, bathroom, etc from campsite to campsite every day. They took great care of us as well while at the campsite, looking after us, and tending to our needs. I can’t stress how much of a difference the porters make for the experience. I always felt safe with them and they were amazing to meet and talk to as well throughout the 7 day exeperience.
The cooks were also great. While maybe not the most glamorous food, the food was delicious every day, every meal, and the chefs did an amazing job handling all of our groups dietary restrictions.
Finally, I really can’t describe how special and amazing Suricata made this journey for us. Many of us were doubtful at various points if we would make it to the summit due to altitude, stomach issues and just feeling unwell, but the whole crew really gave it their all and made sure we made it up and down the mountain safely! It never felt like it was their job to get us to the top of this mountain. It was like they wanted us at the top from the bottom of their heart.
Amazing experience and service all around.
From the beginning to the end, Roman (our guide) and Salim (our chef) were amazing. Roman was super knowledgeable and was literally able to answer all of our questions while Salim cooked us food way better than I expected in the middle of the Serengeti. While a safari in general is spectacular, Suricata took it above and beyond with their service and expertise! Not only did they give us a wonderful experience of the safari, but communication was amazing and coordination of stay, transportation, etc was all taken care of.
All of this was done at an amazing price point!

Incredible safari
We booked a safari with Mbio Mbio Safaris who came recommended by a friend that went on this trip, and it was the best decision we could have made! Zawadi helped to arrange and customize the trip to our needs and was available to us 24/7. The itinerary was very detailed, and everything was organized seamlessly as described. Our driver, Siya was exceptional. His knowledge and passion for his job and the animals were incredible. He helped make our trip a memorable one.

Thief, liar and conman
We booked with Forche Tours & Travel in Nuly last year. In the beginning, Fortune was accommodating and helpful however, as soon as he received full payment from us, his communications became less frequent and he continually experienced “wifi” or “internet” issues which he used as an excuse to not respond to us.
Upon discovering some bad reviews made after we booked, we followed up
With the hotels and lodges that Fortune had apparently booked for us only to find that they had not been paid for. We asked when the payment was due by and called to speak with Fortune. He “assured” us that payment would be made in full and that we could relax and just look forward to our holiday.
He never paid and with two weeks before we were due to fly out, we had to scramble to not only borrow money to cover this additional unexpected expense, we also had to find new accommodation, tours and transfers as the ones that Fortune had booked for us were way out of our price range now we had to repay for our holiday.
We have asked on numerous occasions now for a refund and of course, we have received nothing.
My advise… STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

À memorable trip!
An unforgettable experience, with respect for the animals, with a caring guide and excellent conduct. The experience of two nights in a tent in the heart of the Serengeti was magical. Great customer service from the first contacts until the end of the trip.
