Made the trip very memorable and makes you want to come back again and again
The tours were fabulous. Amazing, very well thought out in terms of moving between different types and pace of reserves, great accommodation and meals. Great value for money and Bernard went above and beyond to make sure it was a 5 star experience. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience!
I started working with Bernard when a client reached out about going on a safari and was a vegan. He was highly recommended and his communication was outstanding. Not only did he meet all expectations for my clients, he exceeded them. His follow up and determination to make sure I was happy along with my clients was a welcome change.
I was so glad to find Bernard and I look forward to working with him in the future!

It was almost everything that I dreamt it would be.
With the exception of one hiccup where the original pickup driver didn’t know where to meet the tour, it was an exceptional trip! Edward is a fantastic tour guide & knew where to go to find the animals that we wanted to see. We saw all of the Big 5 & were even lucky enough to see a black rhino in Lake Nakuru. The tour company even made an extra accommodation for us where we brought supplies to a school in Amboseli, which was an absolute treat. We will definitely book again with them!

Great choice for seeing amazing animals and breathtaking landscapes
My wife and I enjoyed a 5 day Chobe safari with Thaloganyo Phetolo (Thalo) and Sekanka Safari. The timing was early June, during the beginning of the dry season, where the nights were very cool and the animals were plentiful. The safari focus was on the Chobe; the landscape, birds and animals. The focus was not on pampering guests. A couple of examples come to mind. While we were out looking for lions, we passed another group that had stopped for afternoon cocktail hour. We enjoyed the wildlife and they enjoyed their drink. Another example is we had cold breakfasts (actually the same breakfast we normally eat at home) so that we could get out early to see the wildlife as the sun rose. Sekanka offered the type of travel we prefer; out enjoying nature. As we looked into a safari with Sekanka, all our questions were quickly answered and, thanks to their flexibility, we were on a safari that matched our schedule and the regions of the Chobe we wanted to see. During the trip, Thalo and his team were very accommodating, working with us as we fine tuned the day’s activities each morning. The equipment was clean and in good condition. My only complaint was I wasn’t smart enough to select an 8 day stay in the Chobe. I recommend Sekanka as a great choice for those who enjoy being close to nature, sleeping in tents, and experience Chobe up close and personal.

Amazing tour
My friend and I had an amazing time during this safari tour. Jimmy is an amazing guide, he took all the time for us and everything was possible. He knew a lot about the nature and animals and could tell a lot about them. Very good driver as well!
Everything was planned out very well and the lodges we stayed at where lovely. It definitely didn't feel like a budget tour.
The information we received was clear and it's very easy to get in contact with the tour company. We would definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

Unforgettable Safari by Crater Explorer
I had a fantastic experience with Crater Explorer. The 4 days Safári was perfectly organised, especially the guide they providided, Godson Malisa, who was outstanding. Also, communication with the office is very easy and they rapidly answered the many questions I had. So, I strongly advice Crater’s service.

Trip of a Lifetime to Kenya
Excellent week long safari in Kenya. We absolutely loved our guide Steve. We did Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara. We enjoyed Amboseli and Masai Mara the most. I will say there is a lot of driving - some days we were in the car for 8 hours or so driving from one park to another. If you're able to fly from park to park, it may make the trip more enjoyable. We saw tons of wildlife including lions, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, cheetahs & cubs, elephants, birds, crocodiles, hippos, eland, & more. I highly recommend this trip of a lifetime.

Friendly and knowledgeable
I went on a guided hike with Emmanuel through Magamba Forest Reserve in the Western Usambara mountains , and had lovely time! He is very knowledgeable about the natural and historical values of the region, and was very friendly and relaxed. If you ever visit the Western Usambara mountains, make sure you go on a hike with him!

An amazing, unforgettable experience
Myself and 6 of my friends are from Ireland and booked a 5 day private safari tour with Suricata. We looked at the packages available and were able to organise, customise and tailor our package very easily through WhatsApp. The company reply very quickly. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro airport the day before our first day and were transported to a lovely hotel called Tulia Hotel Boutique & Spa in Arusha. It was a lovely, clean hotel! Our accommodation, meals, water and park fees were included in our price which was amazing value for money. The first day on safari we had breakfast at the hotel and we were picked up by our guide, Ezekiel to go to Tarangire National park where we saw elephants, lions, giraffes etc. Our lunch everyday was hot food and we noticed the majority of other people around us at the picnic area were eating cold lunches! The lunch meals ranged from chicken, beef, veggies, rice, potatoes, pasta, noodles, chocolate bars, fruits, juice and more! We stayed in Baghayo Garden Suite the first night and it was nothing short of a 5 star experience. Any alcoholic beverages purchased in the accommodation need to be paid for but are reasonable in price. The dinner in this accommodation was buffet style and was 5 courses! The next 2 days we spent in Serengeti and we stayed inside the park for 2 nights. This is a must as you can hear the animals at night (hyenas, lion roars etc). Both nights we were there we had buffalos roaming outside our tent but the staff in camp site, Baobab Lodges & Camps, escort you to and from your room and provide you with a walkie talkie. However, the animals are not interested in humans and are Amazing. We departed most mornings at a time at our own request which made Ezekiel such a fantastic guide. If you book through this company I suggest you request Ezekiel. He is very knowledgable and knows which animals are which from miles away. He has such an impressive array of knowledge as he is very experienced and also a lovely man which made our experience so enjoyable. We left most mornings at sunrise (6am ish) at our request despite the norm being a 8am start. Despite our early start, Ezekiel stayed out all day with us and went above and beyond for us. After our last day we were dropped back to a hotel to stay in until our flight the next day (this was negotiated with the company as the norm with the company is to be dropped back to the airport). The last day we stayed in the Serena Hotel which was a 5 star experience so I highly recommend also trying to get this accommodation into your package Overall, as a group of 7 people with no complaints it is safe to say we had a 5 star experience and would 100% to back to this company
