Incredible experience
What an incredible experience! A world away from my regular life and every experience was great.
Our driver/guide Damian was brilliant. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and always up for a laugh. Any questions we had, about anything, he answered. He offered recommendations/suggestions both safari and non-safari related.
The day trips to the different parks/reserves were excellent. To get to these wonderful places you have to be prepared to be sat in the vehicle for a few hours but believe me, it's worth the journey and the bumpy roads. We were very fortunate to see a great variety of wildlife across all the day trips.
The accommodation was great. Each one a little bit different and each with their own unique take on things.
All staff across the several days were warm and welcoming and very helpful.
There is nothing I didn't like about this trip. I highly recommend going on Safari and do consider joing Suricata Safaris for your once-in-a- lifetime adventure.

Safari experience was amazing. Unfortunately, this tour operator failed to give the value for money
Safari experience is definitely amazing
1. I was not informed of the changes in my itinerary.
2. I told them beforehand I do not eat seafood, but the first day, our food was tilapia (fish)
3. I was asked to stay in the tent which I did not pay for. If I not insisted, I will be staying in that tent.
4. No coordination with my accommodation.
The coordination among themselves badly needs improvement. They tried compensating by giving me a free massage, but this cannot make up for their miscommunication and severe lack of coordination which made me lose much time and energy.

Incredible 4-Day Safari with Melita – Highly Recommended!
We had an amazing 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with our fantastic guide, Melita. From the moment the trip began, he made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. He ensured everything ran smoothly, from the daily schedule to making sure our meals and other needs were looked after with care.
Melita was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating facts about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture throughout the journey. He was always happy to answer our questions and offered helpful assistance whenever needed. Thanks to his sharp eye and deep experience, we were very lucky to see all of the Big 5 animals during our safari - an unforgettable and rare highlight!
What truly made the experience special was Melita’s warm personality and professionalism. His calm, friendly approach created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere each day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Melita to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Perfect
We did a 4-day safari and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and really went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible — and wow, we did! Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a rhino!
The food was fantastic — fresh, varied, and clearly prepared with care. You could really feel how much effort the whole team put into making the trip special. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and full of charm, surrounded by stunning nature.
Our group was wonderful too — fun, easygoing people who made the experience even better. The atmosphere was positive, relaxed, and full of laughter every day.
I can honestly recommend this safari to anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and good vibes. It was an unforgettable experience

Operator that really cares about their customers.
The safari with Suricata Safaris was way beyond everything expected. All the staff is so nice, always taking care of you and making you have the best time. The food was incredible at every lodge I stayed and in between the game drives we enjoyed lunch in picnic areas inside the parks, this was prepared by the chef (it was nice and local food). It was worth every penny, the customer service was nice and effective and it was an experience i’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
Since I arrived at Kilimanjaro airport everything was amazing. After pick up they drove me to Arusha to meet the rest of the group and have a delicious breakfast. There we met with our incredible guide, Shabani (best guide ever), who helped us pack our stuff and drove us directly to Tarangire. There we had an amazing afternoon game drive, we were able to spot some of the big 5 and other beautiful animals. Later that night he drop off us at Suricata Bima Lodge, and there are no words to describe how pretty the place was.
The lodge had an incredible view to lake Manyara, where I enjoyed the sunset, the pool and some cocktails during the happy hour, also I saw the acrobatic show the stuff had prepared and enjoy a wonderful dinner while hearing live some traditional Tanzanian songs performed by the staff.
The next day I also had an incredible breakfast, still enjoying the amazing view from the restaurant and headed to Serengeti. Here we had another afternoon game drive and we were able to watch the sunset on our way to the lodge. This lodge was located inside Serengeti so during the night we could hear lions and other animals, and there is nothing more increíble than waking up and seeing elephants just behind the lounge tent. We enjoyed another game drive and headed to Ngorongoro.
At Ngorongoro we were able to complete the big 5 watching, which was beyond incredible. Also, we enjoyed a coffee right next to a swamp, while looking at rhinos and many other birds. After that, we had early lunch and started our journey back to Arusha.
