Fantastic
We spent four amazing days with our guide and driver, Luther. The day before the safari, we flew to Arusha, and Suricata Safari provided us with transfers and a hotel overnight stay with breakfast. The next morning, we met our guide and hit the road. The jeep was comfortable, with each passenger having a window seat. We made a couple of stops along the way for drinks and bathroom breaks. Our first stop was Tarangire National Park. This was our first encounter with the amazing world of animals and birds in their natural habitat. We saw zebras, giraffes, elephants, mongooses, and antelope. Our guide, Luther, deserves a special mention. He was excellent at spotting animals at a distance and pointing them out to us. We drove very close to the animals that were nearby, always finding the best photo positions. We also had lunch in a designated area in the park and then continued on. After completing the excursion in the park, we arrived at the lodge near the lake. A stunning hotel with private cabins and a fantastic view of Lake Manyara from the pool (be sure to bring a swimsuit). Dinner at the hotel was delicious and varied. On the second day, we headed to the Serengeti National Park. Words cannot describe its splendor; it must be seen. We traveled in January and witnessed the Great Migration, where thousands of herds of zebras, antelopes, and gazelles migrate to the Serengeti! Our guide answered all our questions, shared interesting facts, and made stops for photos and observation. We didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable at all. In the park, we saw lions, leopards in the trees, cheetahs in the grass, zebras, giraffes, elephants, various antelopes, and other wildlife. The sunset over the Serengeti capped this action-packed day. Once again, our wonderful guide chose the best spot for observation and photography, waited while we enjoyed it, and only then did we head to our overnight accommodations. We spent our second night in a tent. But! This isn't a tent; it's a fully-fledged hotel room with a shower and toilet, located in the middle of the savannah. All night long, you'll be haunted by the sounds of insects, birds, and animals under a star-filled sky. This experience is definitely worth it, and we want to thank the organizers again! On the third day, we traveled through the Serengeti again and saw a pride of lions (2 lions, 4 lionesses, and 8 cubs) within arm's reach (Luther, thank you so much). It's hard to describe; the photos tell the story better. Then we went to Ngorongoro Conservation Area and visited a Maasai family in their village. We were greeted with a welcome dance, shown how to make fire, invited into their home, answered our questions, and then taken to a local school, where the students sang, counted, and read. It was all amazing! We spent our third night in a hotel in a village near Ngorongoro. At 5:30 AM, we set out for the Ngorongoro Crater. We watched the sunrise and saw pelicans, flamingos, rhinoceroses (which isn't always the case due to their shyness), and other wildlife.That's where our amazing trip ended. A huge thank you to Suricata Safari. You do an incredible job! Thanks again to our guide, Luther

Well organized and very good vibes
We had a 4 day safari with our amazing guide Melita and chef Abu. We saw the big 5 and many other animals. Melita was always going for the best places and shots. We had a great time we will never forget!
It was a dream.
Professional and complete
My girlfriend and I had an incredible five-day safari experience, and we truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. From the very beginning we felt completely safe, well taken care of, and confident that everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was well planned, complete, and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of the safari.
A special thank you goes to Daniel, who welcomed us right from the hotel and gave us a clear and helpful briefing about the entire safari and how everything would be organized. From the start, he made us feel comfortable and excited about the adventure ahead.
Our driver and guide, Luther, was absolutely outstanding. He is a person with great knowledge, extremely professional, always available, and always with a warm smile. His passion and experience made every day even more interesting and enjoyable.
And above all, a huge hug and compliments to Chef Abdul. He is a wonderful person and an amazing chef. The food was always fresh, delicious, and honestly even better than what we saw other groups having. Every meal felt special and prepared with care.
This safari was not just a trip, but a truly memorable experience. We felt safe, relaxed, and amazed every single day. Everything was good, well organized, and exceeded our expectations.
We highly recommend this experience to everyone. You will not be disappointed!

Professional!!!
Our safari with Suricata was absolutely unforgettable!
From the very beginning, Edward made the booking process effortless. He was always quick to respond, clear, and helpful, ensuring we chose the perfect package for our trip.
Upon arriving in Tanzania, the warm welcome at the airport and meeting Mr. T immediately made us feel taken care of. When our luggage didn’t arrive on time, the whole team went above and beyond, assisting us with communication, guidance, and even transporting us to the airport to collect our bags. We are so grateful for their support!
The safari itself was simply amazing. Every detail – the vehicle, accommodations, meals, and overall organization – was top-notch.
Our guide, Golden, was incredible. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, he shared his expertise on wildlife, nature, and local culture, always making sure we had the best possible experience and views of the animals.
A huge thank you to Suricata Safaris! You made this adventure truly special, and it’s an experience we’ll cherish forever.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
Our safari with the Suricata team exceeded all our expectations!
Our initial communication was online and Edward was always available, direct and explanatory, helping us book the right package.
When we arrived in Tanzania, the welcome at the airport, as well as our meeting with Mr T, made it even more worthwhile. Our suitcases had not been delivered and all the members of the team tried to help us communicate with the authorities, direct us and transfer us to the airport so that we could pick up our luggage. We are grateful for this!
Regarding the safari experience, words are unnecessary! The vehicle, the accommodations, the food and the general organization were all amazing!
Our guide, Golden was an excellent person and professional. Always smiling, with excellent knowledge of animals, nature and culture, he answered all our questions and made sure that we saw the animals from the best possible perspective.
Suricata Safaris, thank you for everything! We will never forget what we experienced thanks to you!

Suricata is a beast in safari trips
Golden is the best driver-guide ever. Although we met a difficult situation due to bad weather conditions, he transferred us with safety and explained us everything in detail. During our 5 day safari and our communication with other groups and drivers-guides we think that we were extremely lucky for having Golden. The day in Serengeti and especially our experience with two leopards is unforgettable. Golden is pure gold. Last but not least, mr T was really helpful with our missing luggage and really kind and calm. Great team overall. Hakuna matata !!!
