A amazing life time experience
Booked a 4 day safari together with my girlfriend at Suricata Safari. This was far out the most amazing vacation experience so far! Our tour guide Rocky brought us to the most amazing spots in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangiri national park and could tell us so much about the animals. We even were so lucky to spot the big five!
Not only the animals and the amazing views made the game drives great, but also the vibe Rocky created in the car. Everybody was comfortable and had a laugh.
Suricata provides all the meals during the safari. We could not have wished for a better cook than Salim! Every morging he cooked fresh pancakes and eggs for us. For lunch we got hot food which we ate inside the parks or at our kamp, sometimes even with zebra's, giraffes or elephants 100m away! In the evening he cooked a three course meal, it was so taste full! His cooking skills were amazing!
We did the safari during the dry season, but already know we will come back at Suricata to visit during the wet season. We will highly recommend it to everybody els!
Suricata Safari really does that little extra in everything they provide. We made memories we will never forget. Thank you so much Suricata team and especially Rocky and Salim! See you next time during wet season!
Best wishes,

Outstanding attention to detail
My friend and I booked a trip to Zanzibar and found we could travel to Tanzania for a safari. We contacted Shammah Wonders Safari and quickly heard from Justin. We originally were looking for a one day safari to the Serengeti but learned the flights would no longer work for a one day safari but were able to change to a 2-day safari from Zanzibar to the Serengeti. Justin was excellent in his communication about the change and the available options. We were provided options on government lodging for the overnight or a stay at Tanzania Bush Camp. We chose the latter and all of the arrangements were made by Justin. Once we arrived in the Serengeti our guide, Saidy, was waiting for us. We spent the next 2 days with Saidy showing us around. He was a great guide and was able to point out many animals and showed excellent knowledge of the animals and the Serengeti. The whole staff at Shamman Wonders Safari were helpful and knowledgeable. There were no issues with arranging the excursion and it was all handled professionally by Justin. I highly recommend booking with this company. There are many choices which makes choosing difficult but I will definitely again use Justin and Shamman Wonders Safari.

Thanks for the interesting tour!

Better than I ever imagined
We visited Massai MaraLake Nakura and Ambaseli. Brilliant lodges and camps in fabulous surroundings, good food. We saw the Big 5 plus so much more, we had an amazing driver called Jackton who was so knowledgeable and got us the best views, the whole Safari was organised brilliantly by Apodiformes, special mention of Silas who takes care of everything. We found Kenya beautiful and so interesting. Great hospitality and kindness everywhere we went.
Better than I ever imagined
We went to Massai Mara, Lake Nakura and Ambaseli. All the lodges and camps were great, food was very good. We had an amazing guide called Jackton who had the knack to get the best views, and the organising by Apodiformes was perfect. I don't think you could beat Kenya for the wildlife, the hospitality and beauty.

Amazing Safari
Lilian and her team planned the perfect honeymoon safari for us. Everything was superbly organised with cute little personal touches. Solomon, our guide, was very knowledgeable and an expert at spotting animals hundreds of meters away. We were truly amazed! Couldn't have asked for better!

The tour operators were excellent in everything they did for us. A very professional organisation.
Our safari trip to Tanzania and beach holiday in Zanzibar was booked in 2019 and was delayed due to covid. African Safaris kept in touch with us all the way through the covid outbreak and kept giving us the option to delay our trip. Eventually, we set a date for our trip of a life time, September 2022, together with our daughter and her boyfriend for the safari in Tanzania. The price remained the same as we booked it in 2019. It was totally worth waiting for. Our guide for the week was Freddie from Tour Compass who was excellent, his English was brilliant and he made our whole trip enjoyable and could not do enough for us. The amount of driving he had to do each day we were amazed how he kept awake and was so enthusiastic and energetic teaching us all the time about Tanzania the animals and the way of life. Listening to him talking to his best friend, also from Tour Compass - Danny who was also doing the same tour as us made it wonderful. We have never laughed as much as we did on this holiday. The food was excellent at all the accommodation we stopped at and our lunches which Freddie arranged and had with us was brilliant, so we could sit on top of the Ngorongoro crater and the lake in the Serengeti. From us all thank you to the whole team.
If going to Tanzania I would recommend taking some cash with you because our first hotel we stopped in the card machine had broken, so we were unable to pay by card for our drinks and for tipping we used US dollars which was fine.
After departing from Tanzania and leaving our daughter and boyfriend to fly back home we carried on to Zanzibar to our hotel Ocean Paradise. The hotel lived up to its name Paradise. The staff could not do enough for you and the hotel and food was excellent. The rooms were enormous and the afternoon tea on the beach which was free was an extra delight.
