The best safari Suricata Safaris
We made 3 days camping safari with Suricatas Safari and this was the first experince for safari and Tanzania. I want to say that Suricatis Safari supplied and made everything that was defined at agreed pocket. If I will try safari again, I will choose Suricatis Safari. Rocky who was our personal guide and Tito who was our personal chef tried to make us be happy , comfortable and enjoyed. Rocky is a amazing real leader, he always informed us about daily plan, all steps and animals. Special thanks to him , we saw the big 5 by his extrem effort. Our personal chef Tito cooked always delicious, traditional foods and we always ate likely his foods and never faced to any problems. I strongly suggest saferi in Tanzania with Suricatis Safaris with this team.

Super helpful, great recommendations, very prompt on organizing and responding to questions
It was incredibly easy to book the tour with Matthys and the Discover Africa team. They catered to our dates, our budget, and the type of trip we were looking for. One thing I really enjoyed was that everything was taken care of from the moment we touched down in Johannesburg (e.g. - flight the next day, transfers between flights to lodge locations, meals, drinks, everything!) so we didn't have to think about all the travel logistics.
We stayed at the Simbavati Hilltop Lodge for 2 nights, and the Arathusa location in Sabi Sands for 2 nights. Both the locations did not disappoint. The views were incredible from our rooms (we could see elephants, antelope, hippos etc... directly from our private patios), staff/services were 10/10, and the food/drinks were absolutely incredible.
The game drives themselves were amazing as well - saw all the big 5 (some multiple times) and a bunch of other awesome animals as well. Guides were very knowledgable, made you feel safe, and were just overall a great time. We highly recommend this trip.

Excellent communication and service from quote to safari. Incredible team and experience!
We chose Roadside for our first ever safari and were very impressed! Paul and the whole team designed and planned our days carefully and picked perfect lodges to stay at overnight after the long, incredible days.
Our guide Justin was so knowledgable about the areas, animals and of course has eagle eye vision to spot animals from a distance.
Day 1, we arrived in Arusha and were met by Justin and after a quick bag drop at the Melia in Arusha, headed out to see some local sights, in this case an incredible rainforest waterfall hike, local Masai coffee farmer showing us around his land & finally a taste of local cuisine. We would 100% recommend doing this to make use of the first travel day (not to mention the coffee was the best we’ve ever had)
Day 2, Tarangire it’s hard to put this into words but the area is incredible to be driven through, and while the only thing owner Paul would guarantee we would see was the Baobab tree we were incredibly lucky to witness a huge variety of animals this day with Justin expertly navigating the multitude of paths and spotting signs of animals. After the day was done we headed towards our lodge near N’gorogoro crater which also really enhanced the experience and was a great choice for a lodge.
Day 3 N’gorogoro conservation area, after an early breakfast & packed lunch from our lodge we headed out again. Rain overnight had made the routes here tricky but that was no issue for Justin who again expertly navigated us and was always keen to explain animals, landscape and the history of what we were seeing. After another very lucky day for animal spotting we headed back to the lodge for our 2nd and final night where we greeted by another great meal & some local entertainment.
Day 4, our final day of safari at Lake Manyara. By the end of this day we were sad to have to leave and head back on the plane, we managed to see so much but could easily have done it all again. After the park we chose to additionally visit a local Masai tribe who welcomed us with their traditional dance & showed us the village - something we will treasure forever.
Overall we will 100% be using Roadside again for our next trip and would recommend anyone looking for a great guide and package to do the same. Thankyou again to Paul & Justin.

Well organized, nice guides and appropriate price
My safari was great! I traveled alone and changed the group after the first day, but all people I met were very nice. Even with rain, out guides tried their best to give us the maximum wildlife experience and we were lucky! I saw all the Big five! The nights in the tents were pretty rough, but it is part of it! And it is ten times worth it! Thank you Uhuru Travel for this adventure!

Safari experience at its best
One of the most pleasant and exciting experiences of my life. I arrived in Arusha and Hilary and I met for a coffee. Everything went smooth and uncomplicated. What I have seen in N‘dutu is simply indescribably. The game rides have been thought thru professionally; safe but at the same time also adventureous. Especially I want to thank Vincent Bruno, who is a hard-working, trustworthy, kind and thoughtful guide with in deep flora and fauna knowledge. The team at the Angata Camp have been an absolute joy. They take care of there guests with excellence, professionalism and deducation. Also their kitchen is very remarkable. At this point I would like to heartfully recommend Suricata and thank them for their hospitality.

Trustful company with great people
It was smooth forward from the first day I got in touch with Mufasa.
I had to change my travel few times and all has been handle quick and to my liking and my possibilities (thanks Pauline :)).
Then you could not hope for a better guide than Nelson, who put all his hart and knowledge to make your experience unforgettable.
It was amazing to be guided in parks by Nelson, learning from him about animals and listening to stories about Kenya.
Of course we see big 5 :)
But thanks to Nelson I see much more than that, and had a chance to see a common day of life of Kenyan people, with all the struggle and all the joy.
All this trip was an extra ordinary experience.
Thank you Mufasa.
If you go to Africa, go with Mufasa!
The Oluokos really know the western Kenya circuit.
I love bird watching and the Oluokos are avid bird watchers with great ideas on where to bird in western kenya.
Also a very warm team!

Perfect end-to-end service making your safari experience great
We booked a 11 day trip starting in Kenya and ending in Tanzania.
Communication and organisation prior to the trip were very easy and simple. Dennis provided us with all the relevant information and was always easy to reach when we had any questions. Also, we really appreciated that the team was flexibel in postponing our trip spontaneously as our flights to Kenya got canceled last minute.
The overall trip was very nicely organised, starting from the accomodations and meals to the covid tests required for crossing borders.
Our tour guide in Kenya, Joseph, was very friendly, very knowledgeable and reliable which made our safari experience unique and very enjoyable. Especially, after experiencing other guides we appreciated his guiding and wildlife knowledge and experience even more.
In Tanzania the tour was handled by a cooperating partner organisation. Accomodations were more basic but we still enjoyed these a lot. We had the feeling that our guide in Tanzania was not as passionate as Joseph, but maybe we were simply spoiled by having such a good guide during our first part of the trip.
Overall, we really enjoyed getting to see so many different places and parks across the two countries each being unique in its own way. Very good value for money and great for everyone comfortable with tented camping.
