Fantastic safari
Waooh this was a high light of our trip to Tanzania.
It took as several times asking for the information from this tour organizer and helped us in choosing the right place for us.
However we visited other parks but Serengeti National Park was Fantastic place.
Thank you Basili Agustino of Vervet Safari Tours for making our trip fantastic safari.

Best choice for mid-range safaris
We did a mid range group safari with Suricata and it was THE BEST experience! Richard was our guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and great company. The tour is great value for money, Hilary the owner is a former guide himself and knows what makes a difference for his customers. He was very friendly and helpful at all times, making sure everything was running smoothly. While nearly all other safari groups we saw ate from lunchboxes (normally a basic sandwich) we got freshly cooked lunches made by our cook every day with tasty Swahili food, definitely a BIG plus.
If you are exhausted of looking around and comparing offers of safari companies, trust me that Suricata will give you one of the best experience for your money.

Amazing dream
It is a amazing company. You can trust on it. All they offer is true. Our guide Ibrahim and our driver Saire were lovely. We recomend the experience with any doubt. We went with our family. My husband and me and our children (teenagers). Do not miss this oportunity with the company, it really started in Africa

An unforgettable honeymoon in the best ways possible!
My wife and I just returned from two weeks of honeymooning in Uganda with Matoke Tours. We had planned this trip for months, working back and forth with our Matoke travel consultant, Pleunie. From day 1 of the planning process Pleunie was instrumental in constructing an incredible, custom itinerary for us. We video conferenced so she could get a sense for what we were looking for in the trip, and proceeded to deliver on all counts! We were able to customize every element of the tour to meet our interests and budget. Adding some luxury lodges, bush breakfasts (not to be missed!), and a hot air balloon ride on top of the standard fare of safaris and gorilla trekking made for a romantic experience. Also important was Pleunie's ability to keep us informed and comfortable with the evolving COVID situation in Uganda, addressing my every concern within a few hours on WhatsApp.
When it came time for the tour itself we felt nothing but competence from Matoke. At this point, Matoke adopted the form of our guide, Dunn (though Pleunie checked in a couple of times on WhatsApp). Dunn was such a joy to be around. He safely and confidently navigated the Ugandan roads (not a straightforward task—and he didn’t even use Google Maps!) to get us from place to place, keying in on our interests and attitudes along the way to cater to our wants and needs. We reliably accomplished all elements of our itinerary. Dunn has a strong knowledge of birds, helping us pick out nearly 300 species over the course of the trip. He has a wide network of friends in the industry, picking up top-notch site guides to help us along the way. By the time we left for home, we had a new friend.
We felt very comfortable traveling in Uganda from a safety perspective. We had no issues of petty crime or encounters with intimidating characters. With PCR tests required to enter and exit the country, being vaccinated, and having minimal exposure to other people besides Dunn, we felt safe from COVID (safer than in the USA). We elected not to wear masks in the tour van (that would be a LOONNGG time with them on); but the option was definitely there. Our accommodations were top-notch and filled with the friendliest staff. We experienced no shortage of hospitality! We would have zero hesitancy to take another trip to Uganda with Matoke. I’m already scheming about having them build me an itinerary to hike in the Rwenzoris.

A Magical Experience
The safari program was amazing. Magical sunsets and sunrises in Masai Mara and much more. More than what I expected. All my Safari contacts George Weru from the Pogenzi Africa Safari team and my Safari guides in Kenya and Tanzania Moses and Adam were all great to work with. My Safari experience in all the parks and stay in the tented hotels were an awesome experience and I will recommend it to anyone who wants to travel to these magical places. Pogenzi Safari services were absolutely flawless and they went over and beyond to a sure that I have a great time in these Safari parks. Thank you for a wonderful tour and a life changing experience and cannot wait to be back.

The best in uganda
In March 2021, my wife and I researched tour companies to hire for a trip to Uganda. There were a ton of companies and we spent substantial time researching them. We noticed that Primate safaris ltd was good and continued to come up in Google searches for best tour companies. We contacted Gorilla Trek Africa's U.S. representative, spoke to him, and decided to hire primate safaris ltd as our tour company. Robert became our contact and he was super helpful and responsive. With Andrews help, a travel agent was unnecessary. Nelson assisted us with designing a personal, custom tour that best fit our needs. We had many questions in the beginning and he promptly responded to all of them. We booked our trip for July 13 through July 26. In June, due to an increase in COVID cases, Uganda's president locked down the country and enacted various restrictions, including a curfew. We were concerned at first, but after conducting additional research, talking to Andrew, and learning that there were exemptions for tourists, we decided not to postpone our travels. And, it was the right decision. We had an absolute blast! We couldn't have been happier with our choice to travel to Uganda and our decision to hire primate safaris After two days of exploring Entebbe on our own, Asaph, our tour guide, picked us up at our hotel in a Land Cruiser and our tour began. Asaph was amazing! He was knowledgeable and attentive. He was kind and patient with us but had a self-assured presence that made us feel safe and secure. Too, he took excellent care of us. My wife and I have traveled extensively and could have navigated Uganda on our own, but it would have been so much more stressful and less enjoyable without Gorilla Trek Africa backing us and Asaph guiding us. During our tour, we went on game drives, boat tours, community tours, a chimpanzee trek, and a gorilla trek. The accommodations rocked and the staff was friendly. It was extraordinary! My wife and I were so happy with primate safaris ltd as our tour company and Asaph as our guide that we are each writing a separate positive review. I highly recommend Gorilla Trek Africa as a tour company and Asaph as a tour guide.

Fantastic
*Perfect from start to finish*
We started planning for a Tanzanian Vacation back in February when things were simpler. From February until 4 weeks before arriving, we've had to adjust multiple time our plans and at each and every time Psalms Adventures supported us and helped us make the correct adjustments. In the end, when we landed in Kilimanjaro airport and that we were greeted by our driver Salim all of that stress went away and boy did we enjoyed it!
The day after our arrival we headed to the main office where we meet with Carlson to confirm our all of our lodges and arrangements. Our trip was split in two parts, A safari of 8 days and 5 days into Zanzibar. Throughout the whole journey, they made sure to get in touch with us to confirm everything was correct and that for example we landed safely into Zanzibar. It was never intrusive, just the correct number of checks to make us feel secure.
As far as the Safari goes, 8 days is sufficient enough to see all you’ll be able to see.
I could also describe in full details all the animals we've seen, everything Salim made to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, his deep experience of the land, but in the end the most important part you need to know is that we definitely recommend them.
We know it can be scary to book with a company on the other side of the world, but as you'll see in the picture this is a huge company with vast resources and a more than helpful staff. All of the suggestions they made to us were above expectation(Lodging in Serengeti, Resort in Zanzibar, etc.) and in the end that’s what you’re looking into a Safari Tour provider!

Their goal is to give you the best safari experience.
Had a 2 week safari with Joseph and Tony. Trip of a lifetime made so special by Nature’s Wonderland Safaris. Every day they focused on finding us animals and getting us in position to take great photos. Their knowledge about the animals and birds is incredible. Highly ethical and great fun to be with.
