A True Once in a Lifetime Experience!
Lion King was wonderful to work with. All transport from airport to hotels was provided at pick up and departure and information about acquiring local currency and PCR testing was made easy. Having the logistics taken care of took the stress away.
The Safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience. We had a wonderful guide (Ozzy), who had in-depth knowledge about the animals and their habits. This allowed us to see a wide range of animals including the Big 5, cheetahs, zebras, gazelles, hippos, monkeys and birds. You truly felt like you were part of the animal kingdom. Ozzy was an excellent driver through some tricky terrain and always kept us feeling safe.
Lion King was flexible in allowing us to make changes to their suggested itinerary, as we wanted to stay at the Four Seasons Lodge as a special treat for our honeymoon. Other companies we contacted said they could not make this adjustment, but Lion King was flexible and accommodating.
A few things to make note of:
The link we were sent to pay our deposit by credit card wouldn't work, so we had to send a wire transfer. This felt a bit strange, but because of all the positive reviews online, we trusted the process and are happy we did.
We thought that we would get to decide as we went about what extra activities to include, but were told these are best arranged ahead of time e.g., walking through a Masai Village. If anything catches your eye on their extra activity list, be sure to mention it at the time of your booking. Even without any of the "extra options", you will have an amazing experience.
We did arrange for a Balloon ride over the Serengeti and this was also worth the splurge for us.
Thanks to everyone at Lion King for their help giving us a trip of a lifetime!

Zohar made our trip incredible
We had an incredible time. We spent 4 days, between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Thanks to Lilian for all the organisation, her availability and her kindness.
Thanks to Adam our super french speaking guide.
And Thanks to Zohar for making this experience unforgivable. From the first communication we felt so confident with Lilian, and until the end of our trip.
Everything went perfectly well, all the little attention, and the immersion.
We would recommend Zohar at 100%.

Best Budget Safari
I cannot express enough how amazing our African safari was. Joseph was the best. He was very helpful. Answered all questions timely and made the trip a breeze. I definitely will be using Joseph again. Our guide in Kenya, Jackson, was incredible. We were first to all the animals. Amani, our Tanzania guide, was knowledgeable and educated us on all the animals. Geoffrey made our Nairobi and Equator so enjoyable. Please use these people for your East Africa safari. You will not be disappointed. I am attaching a video of our trip. https://youtu.be/y8dRbQRQfUw

4 day safari, lodge accommodation
Incredible experience! Very professional services, went out of their way to make arriving and departing as easy as possible and that we were getting what we wanted from the experience. Mandela was an amazing guide and very knowledgable about all sorts of animals. Our chef Acton made the most delicious food, there wasn't a moment on the trip we felt at all hungry. We chose the lodge/safari tent option and the accommodation was simply a delight, the staff offering to move our table outside so we could have breakfast while watching the sunrise over the Serengeti is an experience I will never forget. Overall an unmissable experience when travelling to Tanzania and I would recommend this company to ensure you have the best experience.

Friendly unforgettable experience
Had the best 4-day safari experience with Suricata Safaris. Mandela made sure the experience was unforgettable and can’t thank him enough for everything. So knowledgeable about all the wildlife and a joy to chat with. The food provided was great and we were never left hungry. The accommodation provided and staff at the accommodation exceeded expectations and were exactly what we needed after a long day of safari. Asante sana to the whole Suricata team for an unforgettable experience!!

Absolutely amazing and thorough with his information.
Our 12 day journey throughout Rwanda was top notch. Frank, the owner, was very responsive before, during, and after our trip with any questions or needs that we had. The trip itself was absolutely incredible from the driving, the hotels, seeing animals such as wild gorillas, chimps, all kinds of monkeys, birds, and some of the big five with many more animals, to the somber genocide memorials. Rwanda is an amazing country with much to see and do and this trip provided insight to all of it. Our driver/guide, Jean Claude, was also fantastic. He was thorough with his information and anything he didn’t know he was able to discern for us later. He was very accommodating to our trip needs if we wanted to veer off course. I can’t recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris enough. You’ll be extremely satisfied with the trip, price, and customer service. L

An animal filled adventure
My buddy and I hopped in for 3 days of a 4 day safari. Daudi was great and worked with us on logistics and a price adjustment for the day we would be missing.
The safari itself was everything we could have wanted it to be. Thousands upon thousands of animals were seen. The pop up roof is an absolute must, so happy we had one. Every morning starts at 6am with breakfast and goes until dinner around 7-8pm. All of our meals were good and almost all of them were made hot and in the moment. I left every meal very full.
There are really zero complaints. The entire experience was excellent.
