First Africa ! First Safari !!!!!!
I joined Suricata Safari Tour in Tanzania on 2025/06/27 from Japan!
When I was searching for a tour company, I had a hard time finding a good company because there were so many tour companies, but Suricata was a great company!I had a hard time finding a good tour company when I was searching for tours, but Suricata is a great company!
The staff are all friendly and helpful and will answer any questions you may have.If we had any problems during the tour, they took care of it properly.We really appreciated it.(We forgot our cell phones, ran out of memory cards, etc...)
Our guide was Lewis and he was extremely helpful!
The language of the tour is English only, so you may need to be careful about that.
The tour process is Tarangire→Manyana Lake→Serengeti→Ngorongro
The tour process is from Tarangire to Manyana Lake to Serengeti to Ngorongro.
We were in a group and shared the same car with 4 other participants!All the members were friendly and we got along well with each other.
We stayed 2 nights in a luxury villa and 2 nights in a large, well-equipped tent.Both have hot showers!
It is worth going because you can see a lot of animals!
Enjoy!
Amaizing safari
Everything about the tour was perfect, the hotels, the food, we got to see all the animals we were hoping for and our guide Louis made everything comfortable for us. The accommodations were far more luxurious than expected as well.

Best honeymoon ever! Asante sana!
From the moment we arrived, this safari company exceeded every expectation. Suricata Safari was flawless, and the staff went above and beyond to make every moment special. Very big thanks to NIC BOY who was so amazing at explaining everything that we were going to do, and helped us understand the whole process soo much better. Our guide Benson was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems but also had a wonderful sense of humor and a deep respect for nature.
We also had a private chef, Samson, who’s cooking was FLAWLESS, even my husband who is a picky eater licked the plates. Amazing cultural experience in the gastronomic area!
Every game drive felt like a new adventure. We were fortunate enough to witness a cheetah hunting and devouring it’s prey, along with countless other animals — from herds of elephants gracefully moving across the plains to elusive leopards hiding in the grass waiting for gazzelles. Watching a lioness with her cubs at sunrise was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life.
The accommodations were equally impressive — well organised tents that kept us safe and warm in the nights. We also had some friendly visitors to the tents: a giant elephant and a family of zebras. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up to the sight of giraffes grazing nearby felt like something out of a dream.
What stood out most was how the experience was crafted with both adventure and sustainability in mind. The respect for wildlife, the land, and the local communities was evident in everything they did.
If you’re considering a safari, stop thinking — just do it. This was hands down one of the most magical, humbling, and inspiring trips we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to reconnect with nature and experience the wild in its purest form

Amazing safari tour with Felix
Wow!we had the most wonderful time on our 7 day safari. We were greeted at every turn with friendly staff and all of our accommodations were top notch. Felix was our guide and he went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to see all of the animals on our trip as well as so many unique experiences. He was very kind and made us feel comfortable and safe. I highly suggest using Felix and taking your time to enjoy all that Tanzania has to offer!

Knowledgeable, kind, flexible
Felix was AMAZING, we had such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, the stays by the parks were phenomenal. Felix was knowledgeable, allowed us to stop often for different things and let us take our time, and incredibly kind.
We were able to see every animal.
I highly recommend a 7 day tour as 3 days in the Serengeti is necessary to see everything and actually take your time. The private tour for a couple was perfect, we met others at hotels but we were able to be more flexible with our schedule. Absolutely recommend.
Thank you Felix!

Incredible 5-day safari with knowledgeable guide Melita. Amazing wildlife, great food, and friendly
We went on a 5-day safari with Surricata Safari, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Melita, was simply the best. She was incredibly kind and had vast knowledge about the animals, and her enthusiasm for wildlife was contagious.
We were fortunate to see all the animals we hoped for, including lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants, rhinos, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, antelopes, wildebeests, buffalo, and flamingos. Each animal was a highlight for us.
The safari vehicle was very comfortable, and everyone had a window seat. The drives were pleasant as well. The food was delicious, and the camping sites were beautiful. The tents were set up for us, complete with mattresses and sleeping bags. Spending nights under the starry sky was magical.
The entire team at Surricata Safari was always friendly, and we felt welcomed at all times. Overall, it was an amazing experience and the best thing we've ever done. We highly recommend it, especially with Melita as your guide! 😇

The best safari experience we could have had!
Wow - this was a crazy good experience that went beyond all of our expectations. Our guide, Freddy, was super knowledgeable, accommodating, attentive, and just a nice guy to be around. The service in all of our accommodations, especially at the Suricata Boma Lodge, was 10/10. The food was always great as well! Everyone at Suricata was friendly and communicative, we found all services and scheduling reliable, and they were very open when anything went different from the original plan, making sure whatever replacement was found was even better than the original. i could not recomment their services more!

Unforgettable Safari with Suricata Safaris – A True Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Unforgettable Safari with Suricata Safaris – A True Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
We’ve just returned from a 3-day safari with Suricata Safaris, and we honestly cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, warm, and incredibly well-organized.
As soon as we got to our hotel, Daniel from the Suricata team was there to meet us with a smile, ready to brief us on our adventure through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. His professionalism and friendliness immediately put us at ease. He was also there to debrief us at the end, which made the whole experience feel so well-rounded and personal.
A massive shout-out to Chef Mr. James, who prepared the most amazing meals for us at the campsites—every dish was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We were blown away by the quality of the food, especially considering we were on a budget safari.
Speaking of the campsites, they were far beyond what we expected for budget accommodation. They had hot water showers, a café with ice cream and chocolate, and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel completely comfortable after long days of exploring. At night, we saw zebras and water buffalo wandering near the campsites—a surreal and magical experience. And nothing can prepare you for the night sky in the Serengeti—we have truly never seen so many stars. It was breathtaking.
Our guide, affectionately known as Rasta Man, was incredible. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of the parks, a sixth sense for spotting wildlife, and a warm, infectious personality that made our trip unforgettable. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, and so much more. He told us at the beginning: “You arrive as strangers and leave as family”—and that couldn’t be more true.
Booking was also super easy and stress-free, with Jackson being incredibly helpful and responsive via WhatsApp. Any questions we had were answered almost instantly, and the whole process felt personal and smooth from start to finish.
Thank you, Suricata Safaris, from the bottom of our hearts. You gave us an experience we will never forget. We’re leaving a little piece of ourselves in Tanzania, and we’re taking with us the memories of a truly magical adventure.
Until next time – Asante sana!

Amazing safari, you won’t regret it!
We had the time of our lives on our first safari ever! Adam was our driver/guide and he was amazing, very knowledgeable, accommodating and entertaining! Even though this is the height of Safari-Season, we never felt rushed or crowded by other cars, saw all of the Big 5, and even got lucky enough to see a Cheetah and her cub, two leopards and two rhinos. Lots of other baby animals. The accommodations were well-located and beautiful. From the moment we stepped out of the airport we felt very well taken care of up until we were dropped off again, no issues. I highly recommend this Safari, especially with Adam!
