The best four days safari trip, thanks to Amiri
We did a four-day safari with Suricata Safaris (Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater) and we’re still thrilled about it. The main reason for that is our guide Amiri, so that’s what I want to write about first.
Amiri is just a wonderful person. Super relaxed, always in a good mood, and incredibly attentive at the same time. He explained things to us the whole time, about the animals, about the country’s history, about the Maasai, and about much of what we came across along the way. You could tell he wasn’t just reciting facts, he genuinely wanted to show us his country.
In the parks he always did everything to get us a good view of the animals, but never in a way that crowded or disturbed them. We really respected that. His instinct for wildlife is remarkable. Time and again he spotted animals that were almost impossible for us to make out in the landscape, sometimes even from the moving car and at great distance. On top of that he took care of everything. He organized the meals, set the table at lunch, was punctual every single day and always well prepared. And when one of our rims had a little crack, he sorted it out himself in no time and changed the tire. He’s also a fantastic driver. Traffic in Tanzania is pretty wild for us Europeans, but with Amiri we never felt unsafe, not once.
And the wildlife, a dream. We got to admire both the Big Five and the Ugly Five in full, plus giraffes, monkeys, zebras, gazelles, cheetahs, a python and countless other animals. A lot of it we saw right while they were eating or hunting. The thing that stuck with me most was a leopard moving through the Serengeti at sunset, chasing gazelles. You don’t forget something like that. All in all it was an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The lodges were mostly really lovely too. Suricata Boma Lodge was our favorite, beautiful grounds, great food and genuinely warm people. Another special experience was the night at Tanzania Bush Camp Simba, right in the middle of the Serengeti. You really sleep out in the wild there, you hear the sounds of the animals all around you in the evening and at night, and you’re closer to nature than just about anywhere else. That was an experience in its own right, and one we wouldn’t want to have missed.
If you’re going to Tanzania, book with Suricata and ask for Amiri. You won’t regret it.
Dear Amiri, thank you for everything, truly. You made this trip into something we’ll never forget. We hope we’ll see each other again someday. Asante sana, brother!

Amiri was an incredibly knowledgeable, caring and passionate guide who made our safari unforgettable
Our safari with Amiri was absolutely unforgettable. From the very first day, he impressed us with his incredible knowledge, his passion for nature and his ability to spot even the smallest animals from a distance.
Thanks to Amiri, we had the opportunity to see the Big Five, which was already an incredible experience. He also introduced us to the Ugly Five, something we had never even heard of before. He taught us so many interesting things about the animals, their behavior and the ecosystem, and every day we learned something new.
What made our safari even more special was that Amiri taught us so much about Tanzanian culture, traditions and everyday life. Whenever we passed through villages, towns or other places on our way to the national parks, he would always explain what we were seeing. Instead of simply driving in silence, he always made sure that we understood what was happening around us and helped us see Tanzania from a much deeper perspective.
We learned so much about Tanzanian wildlife and culture, which made the whole experience much more meaningful.
Amiri always took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we had the best possible experience. He provided an amazing all around service throughout the entire safari. He was not only an excellent safari guide and a very careful driver, but also took care of us in every little detail, from helping with our luggage to making sure everything was prepared for us.
Whether we wanted to spend more time watching an animal, take pictures or ask questions, he always gave us the time we needed. His ability to spot animals was incredible. He would notice animals so quickly, even when they were far away or well hidden, which meant we were able to see so many different animals that we might otherwise have missed.
His calm, friendly and caring personality made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. By the end of the safari, Amiri felt like much more than just our guide. He became a friend who shared an incredible adventure with us, and saying goodbye was honestly difficult.
We are already thinking about doing another safari in Tanzania, and there is absolutely no question that we would choose Amiri again. If you are looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, patient and truly cares about his guests, we can wholeheartedly recommend him.
Thank you, Amiri, for making our safari such an unforgettable experience. We will always remember these days and hope to see you again on our next safari! 🦁🐘🐆
5 stars without a doubt!
Perfect
The whole tour was amazing from start to finish. All of the accommodations were beautiful and clean. The staff were like family, so welcoming and genuine. But, mostly, Jesse made the trip, he was a fantastic guide, he ensured we saw all of the animals, was respectful to them, informative and just great fun.

Great experience!
We had three absolutely amazing days on safari. We saw everything there was to see, and our guide Frank did an incredible job. We were provided with delicious meals prepared by our chef James, and overall, we were very well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Everything went perfectly, and we would truly recommend this trip to anyone!
