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!

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!

An unforgettable experience with Steve!
This safari experience completely outperformed expectations, from the beauty of the game drives to the hospitality at the lodges. Everything was as smooth as could be once we arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A driver shuttled us to our lodging for the night and gave us a detailed overview of what to expect for the next week of travel and game drives. The next day we started our experience with our guide Steve, and it’s hard to imagine a better guide! Steve was incredibly communicative and accommodating, always helping us get checked into our lodges and leaving us with details about what to expect for the next day. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in each park as well as the local people and areas we passed through in between parks. Talking with Steve on our drives gave us amazing insight into the people and culture of Tanzania which we found incredibly impactful. Steve’s experience and expertise navigating the parks provided us with incredible fortune on our drives, and we were lucky enough to see all of the big five and many other beautiful animals! The hospitality at the lodges was also above and beyond. It was a treat to be able relax comfortably after long days in the parks! This experience has been once in a lifetime, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to see this lovely part of the world, especially with such an amazing guide!

Great safari in Tanzania
We enjoyed our safari in Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Our guide Rasta man was cool and chill. He shares a lot of information for
the habitat of the animals. We succeeded to see the Great five during our journey and the crossing of wild beasts through Mara river.
All the camps were great and the stuff there very kind. Suricata boma logde were excellent and we had a great time there.

Amazing 3-day getaway and wonderful hospitality
Fantastic 3 day safari with Suricata Safaris. Jeremy took great care of us, guiding us through the best park routes and pointing out amazing wildlife sightings we would have totally missed. We also really enjoyed our stay at Suricata Boma Lodge; the atmosphere was quiet, rooms were very clean, and the meals were excellent. Highly organized trip from start to finish!

Epic 4 days in the wild with Jeremy !
Had an unbelievable 4 day group safari with Suricata Safaris! Jeremy was our driver guide and he was exceptional throughout the trip. His animal tracking skills are top level, and he made sure we got the best views while keeping a safe distance. The game drives were intense, but staying at Suricata Boma Lodge added so much comfort to the experience. Delicious food, friendly hospitality, and very comfortable beds to rest after long days in the parks.

It was my big luck to me
First of all, meeting Suricata was a huge stroke of luck for my honeymoon. Among them, the best driver, Anton (Antony), was truly the best! He was always waiting for us, ready, and led our game drive without a single problem, even on those rough safari roads! I also want to thank the perfect operator, Gudila. I highly recommend Driver Anton and Suricata to anyone struggling to choose among the many companies, especially to Korean travelers!

Antony made our safari an unforgettable experience
Our 4-night, 5-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro was absolutely perfect, and Antony was a huge part of that. He was an excellent driver, deeply knowledgeable about the animals and the ecosystem, and always kind and considerate.
He was incredibly good at finding animals. On our very first day alone, we spotted four of the Big Five — and when I mentioned I really wanted to see a cheetah, he found one for us right away. By the end of the trip, we’d seen almost every animal we had hoped for.
Antony often said “pole pole” to us, and until almost the last day, we actually thought it meant “hurry up”! It wasn’t until later that we realized it means “slowly, slowly” in Swahili — it was simply his gentle way of making sure we were comfortable and never rushed. We still laugh about that little misunderstanding. His English was also clear and easy to listen to, which made his explanations even more enjoyable.
By the end, Antony felt more like a friend than just our driver and guide — we genuinely missed him after he left. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari. Everything was perfect. Hope to see you again soon, Antony!

Unforgettable 5-day adventure across Tanzania!
Planning a family trip to Tanzania was a big deal for us, and booking a 5 day package with Suricata Safaris was the best choice we made. Our guide Jeremy made the whole journey smooth and exciting. He was patient with all our questions, knew the national parks inside out, and had an uncanny knack for spotting wildlife. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, and leopards right near our vehicle. Returning each evening to Suricata Boma Lodge was the perfect way to unwind. The rooms were spotless, the hot showers were great after dusty game drives, and the fresh dinners hit the spot every night. The seamless coordination between Jeremy and the lodge staff really impressed us.
