Extraordinary service that led to a memorable experience!
What a blast to have experienced a 3-day Murchison Falls safari trip with Kubwa Five Safaries! The people behind the titles were super communicative throughout the whole procedure, open and willing to listen to our needs, up-to-date and extra kind. We were lucky enough to have been accompanied on this journey by the contagiously energetic Silas, who took the best care of us during our trip. Prioritizing our needs and wishes, trying his best for us to catch a glimpse of our beloved wild animals, being extra flexible with the schedule, and always there giving us engrossing insights. Couldn't have asked for a better team for this magnificent experience, highly recommend them to whoever's into experiencing the wildlife while tuning in great vibes!

Hakuna matata 😊
Before my departure, Daniel served as our briefing guide, giving us a comprehensive overview of what to expect during our journey. He also took the time to show me around the city, adding a nice touch of local flavor to my adventure.
The safari was made even more memorable by Bryson and James, whose expertise and hospitality greatly enhanced our experience. The food throughout the tour was delicious, offering a taste of the local cuisine that was nothing short of amazing. The wildlife sightings were spectacular, living up to the promise of an authentic safari experience. Additionally, the quality of the jeeps was top-notch, ensuring that our travels were comfortable and safe across the varied terrains.
Even after the safari Daniel came to see everyone and check if everything was alright. There was nothing I could say was bad. The hotel before and after the tour are great as well.

Suricata in itself is a Tanzania travelog
A Photographer's Dream
This was my first safari in Africa and Suricata made it an amazing experience.
From the bookings handled by Tizia, to the guide Max and chef Tito, everything was top notch .
Our guide Max was friendly, well versed, and helped us take in some amazing views of the Tarangire national park, the Serengeti
the Ngorongoro Crater, and the lake Manyara National Park.
What made the trip even more enjoyable was interacting with Max
about his love for the environment and how passionate he is about nature.
Chef Tito made us look forward to everydays' meals on the safari and in the camps.
On the last day to Lake Manyara we were transferred to another company vehicle ( Travel Africa) which was slightly more comfortable than Suricata's.
It was a newer vehicle and had a portable refrigerator with beer, soda and water.
Suricata needs some improvement on this front.
Overall a great experience.

Perfect
My family and I had a wonderful safari experience with SerengetiAccessSafari last year, and we can't wait to go back. We did a 7-day safari, and our entire experience was amazing. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made our trip worthwhile.

The worst organisation of any company I've ever worked with
First of all, we booked a shared safari with Mousebird safaris, and we ended up joining a convoy of around 6 safari vehicles, each with 6-7 people in them, with unmarked or or unmarketed cars (I.e. they didn't have the mousebird logos on them). After speaking to several people in our tour, we realised that every couple or individual had booked with a separate and different safari agent. And we were brought together to join this trip.
This meant that almost everyone on the trip were staying in different places. This lead to us being picked up very early every day and taken to a meeting destination, often to wait for several hours before starting the actual safari, and spending much less time enjoying the nice lodges we had booked to stay at. (The meeting places were often very basic and not that nice to hang out in). The same was true for the evening, we would drive around after the safari ended, often for several hours, to drop people at their respective lodges.
The major consequence of this (not even considering all the time we wasted just waiting) was that almost every day, after collecting people and waiting for those camping to pack up, we only ever started our safaris at around 9 or sometimes even later. A far cry from the stated "dawn/sunrise safari" we expected.
We also never did any night or evening safaris, or any safari walks, which I have done on other safaris around Africa. Overall it was very poorly planned.
The drivers didn't even know where we were supposed to be staying half of the time, and we had to tell them, or keep an eye on Google maps to make sure they didn't go the wrong way. We were taken to the wrong lodge 3 times on our trip. Which was very tiring in the end. And during the drives to and from the lodges, it was not so easy to look for animals, as almost all the drivers had clearly learned to drive by playing GTA (they drove INSANELY fast and recklessly).
Speaking of driving, since we were driving in a convoy, there were over 10 occasions where one of our party (including our car at least 3 times), got severely stuck in the mud and/or potholes, and in some cases it took over an hour to get the car free. All the time we were all just waiting, with no wildlife nearby. We didn't see any other safari jeeps get stuck the whole time, only our group, which led us to believe that our drivers were not so experienced or trained in driving the terrain.
The days were very long, and we had no snacks or suitable lunches provided either. We are both vegan and booked this trip because the description said caters for vegan. We were told on booking it would be "easy". Most days we were picked up at 6-7am, waited around til about 9.30am to start, but only stopped for lunch around 2-3pm. And on every day we were there, we were given something non-vegan. Or there were minimal options for us. For instance the group would get meat, rice and some steamed veg. So for us, it was just the veg (usually just green beans and carrot) and some mildly warm rice, which just felt like they didnt even think about us at all. And we never stopped anywhere to get any snacks.
One day they almost didn't provide us with any water, but after a long argument, the driver finally took us to a shop and suggested we buy it ourselves... despite "free unlimited water" being written in all the contracts. We didn't agree and eventually, the driver got us water.
To top it all off, the contact we were speaking to before leaving specifically asked us to bring cash to do a final payment to "pay for some in tour activities", such as national park entrance fees etc. So we paid half on card in advance and brought the rest in cash as agreed. But the night before the safari, the organiser came to out hotel to take the cash and we never saw him again. So it mustn't have been for the entrance fees, in fact we never saw our driver exchange cash with anyone once, we believe it was just so we would pay them in cash instead.
I would not go with this safari company again, even if you paid me, as the hours wasted waiting have aged me by a decade.

The best choice we made and never regreted!
The best tour ever! Could not believe that it is possible to travel 2 weeks in safari and see new things every single day: all the time new animals. we saw all of them!!!
Rangers sometimes helped as team members as well as other tour operators- they are all one team!
We got lovely presents to remind us of the journey!
We were laughing all the time with our driver! We demanded him to dine have lunch and breakfast with us as it was not possible to stay without him. We needed to talk and plan and listen to his stories.
Never in my life We thought it could be so entertaining!
our driver/ guide was wonderful!!! He surprised us everyday!
A lot of fun!!!
