NZ
It's probably the best I could hope for as a tour. I enjoyed it and thought it was well worth it.
Kenya is a beautiful, geographically varied country. It was much more easy-going and hassle-free than I was originally expecting. Visiting Kenya was a great experience!

An enjoyable Experience
I had 2 nights Safari with my family ( 2 big boys ) we enjoyed the ride front Johannsberg with Tom who was very welcoming person and the Safari ride went amazing with our Tour guide and driver Michael.
We were unlucky because of the weather as it was too cold so we were able to see only 3 out of the BIG 5.
I hope next time, that we will be more lucky

Good trip
The schedule was perfect, the driver very kind and aware of your well being until the last time. The lodge was very big,clean, luxious, just a little poor wifi in my room. The breakfast and diner nice and all the people over there were interesting, very kind and fun. The kruger park is nice but don't expect to see each animal if they don't want to be see.I didn't regret the panorama tour, it's worth the price to see the Blyde canyon. That's right you can do it by yourself but it's nice also to have everything taken care of, and talk with local people who can explain you a lot of things.

Reliable budget operator on Mt Kilimanjaro
We experienced Snowcap as a reliable Kilimanjaro operator eager to ensure a good experience for us even for a very good price.
Email communication upfront was a little challenging, but worked out. We would recommend calling them as an alternative.
Arriving in Moshi and during the trek we experienced Snowcap as very reliable and responsible. We trekked with two of their regular guides, and experienced both as very keen to make it to the top with us, but also very aware of ours and the staffs' safety along the way as well as following park rules etc.
We received good and plenty food, and where supported by extremely happy, helpful, and reliable staff.
We found Snowcap to offer cheaper tours than other companies, but to us this did not seem to be reflected in quality of guides, staff, or gear. The gear was older than average on the mountain, but fully functional.
We trekked the Lemosho route in July/August 2018, 4 people. 3 made it to the top, the 4th was send down with suspected altitude sickness before the summit attempt.
We would at all times recommend Snowcap as a reliable and safe budget alternative to more expensive Kilimanjaro operators.

Excellent Service at a Good Price
We went on 7 days Safari to Masai with KET. Paul and Guide Patrick were very helpful. Had a wonderful experience.
All accomodations and arrangements were very good. Would certainly recommend them. They customize the tour; but make sure you communicate and get the prices from Paul. No non-sense, excellent tour. Will certainly do it again with them. Thanks again KET.

Amazing safari – Strongest recommendation I have ever made
Travelling with Suricata was a great experience. Our guide Frederic was very knowledgeable about the all wildlife and had great vision both in terms of spotting the animals but also anticipating what would happen next which meant that we were often positioned very well compared to other safari cars. Frederic was also very patient (really important if you want to get close to the hunts and big cats in general). He also showed great respect for the animals, nature and other tourists which was a really big upside for us as well. Sadly we didn’t see this behavior from some of the larger companies offering the safaris. (This behavior from other companies only happened a couple of times).
On safaris you often have your own driver and cook so personal chemistry is probably quite important. Frederic and our cook (DeeVeeDee) were great company! Really funny guys and very attentive to our needs. The same has to be said about the office manager, Hilary, who picked up our delayed luggage and drove all the way to the National Park. They were also great in terms of customer service in general showing up 10 minutes after we had arrived at the hotel to make sure that everything was in order – e.g. food allergies, airport drop off, delayed luggage, safari program etc.
We strongly recommend having your safari with Suricata. You will love it!

Michelle, once again, exceeded all of our expectations on our latest safari to Kenya!
Michell and Natasha were always in communication with us making sure that we had everything to our satisfaction. One great example was when we asked our guide if we could change our hotel on our return to Nairobi. I was 100% expecting and willing to call and ask for the change and charge us the price difference. By the time I had the request out of my mouth the guide Paul had sent Michelle a message and she made all of the changes without any issues. Since we have worked with Michelle in the past, she remembered all of the little details about the lodges we like and prefer. She managed to get us a private vehicle and guide for the entire time for less money than we anticipated for a semi shared. Each location had its own unique features and landscape/wildlife. It was one of the best experiences of our lives. We are already thinking about where we can ask Michelle and the Sun Safaris team to plan for us next (probably Madagascar and the Seychelles). Thank you again for your all of your dedication to all of the fine details! You have more than exceeded all of our expectations (and you have made our expectations pretty high after your past itineraries). I would ask say that Paul (our guide) was excellent. He was so easy going and would incorporate things into our itinerary based upon things we would talk about on our drives. I would enjoy to spend more time with him again in future visits to Kenya.

very pleased
I took my mother on a road trip to SA (incl game reserve) over Christmas. Whilst I am a seasoned independent traveller and our itinerary was fairly simple, Ines was super attentive to our needs and found great places to stay to ensure a comfortable and memorable trip at good value.

This tour was a breathtaking experience.
This tour more than lived up to my expectations. Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable on all topics. He communicated the itinerary to us both the day before and the morning of with times for breakfast and departure, the activities, how we should dress, etc. He was able to deal with a variet of personalities, some difficult ones, with respect and an understanding of that person's culture and idiosyncrasies. The tour itself was nicely paced with some very active days and some where we were able to relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Peter made sure we remained healthy and safe providing water and fresh fruit and inquiring as to how we were feeling. All of the othe guides and rangers we encountered were also kind, knowledgeable, and respectful. The accommodations we stayed in were breathtaking. The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking days were fun and exciting. There was a respect for those primates from those who live and work there. I liked that we were given the opportunity to experience the culture by visiting the villages. The variety of activities was excellent. I would certainly travel with Speke Uganda again.
