Incredible
The best experience of our lives
From the moment we booked with Suricata, we felt reassured and confident through the efficient and clear communication we received. On arrival, we were met with an onboarding briefing to give us a detailed overview of our trip, showing the professionalism of the company.
Our safari experience itself was the best experience we have ever had. Everything Suricata provided from accommodation, vehicle, and daily meals were 5 star standard. The highlight of the experience had to be our wonderful guide Lewis (Rasta) who was so generous with his knowledge and insights on the animals and Masai Culture. He truly made our experience so much deeper. At the end of the safari we had a debrief on the experience with a team member from Suricata, showing their dedication to giving guests the best possible experience. Could not recommend the company more highly.

Perfect Safari
This tour was absolutely amazing. Saw so many animals and learned so much. Elias my driver was amazing, very informative and kind. The 5 days went very smoothly the food was absolutely amazing, our chef was incredible. We had fresh meals everyday with tons of options. The camping was very comfortable with sleeping bags provided and clean tents . I felt very safe and comfortable as a female solo traveler. I would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone heading to Tanzania for Safari!!
Adam is one incredible tour guide. Highly recommended.
The 5 day safari was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our driver and guide, Melita, was excellent, with a very good sense of humour and most importantly very knowledgeable not only about the places we visited but also about all the wildlife we encountered.
The accommodations exceeded my expectations, offering a great mix of comfort and atmosphere. The meals were also a highlight, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners were consistently delicious, fresh, and varied.
My favorite moment was staying at the Serengeti Tanzania Bush Camp Simba in the heart of the Serengeti. Falling asleep surrounded by the sounds of nature and waking up to see the sunrise on the plains was an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Suricata to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

An incredible experience
We really enjoyed our safari with Suricata. The tour guide, Melita, was amazing - very informative and always did his best to show us around and to show us all the animals. The tour was also very ethical and the guide respected all the animals privacy.
The accommodation, especially Boma Lodge was amazing. The food was always very good and the facilities were clean and up to standard.
All in all, it was an amazing experience and it exceeded my expectations.

Amazing Experience
We had an amazing 5 day safari going round the different national parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Our guide, Melita, was amazing, driving us around and doing his best to show us all the animals that were visible at the parks and providing facts and informations about these animals. He was also very friendly and catered to any needs that we had during these 5 days.
The food was also great at all the accomodations that we stayed and even the lunch that we had during the safari game drives was very good.
Also, the accomodations themselves were amazing. We chose the mid-tier option and they were truly great especially the Suricata Boma Lodge which had everything you could hope for.
It was an unforgettable experience thanks to Melita and Suricata Safaris and should we decide to do this again another time, I would definitely choose them again.

Amazing experience
The best experience has been with Suricata Safaris. The planning, the people, the food, and their organization are incredible. We were able to see and spot the Big Five. The authenticity of the people and the kindness of the staff made every minute worthwhile. I definitely want to return, and I will do it with them again.
The meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—were outstanding. Everything was freshly prepared (not lunch boxes) by two special chefs, Salim and Gordi, who packed and prepared the food every morning. The menu changed daily, always including protein, carbohydrates, and salad, along with a variety of drinks and unlimited water during the journey.
Our guide, Lewis, was friendly, patient, and very sociable. He answered all our questions and explained everything to us as we traveled day by day.
The camping sites varied depending on the safari location. Each one included tents, mattresses, pillows, and sleeping bags. The camps had toilets and showers just a few meters away from the tents. These camps were outdoors, and you could see and hear wild animals at night. It is important to remember that towels, body soap, and toilet paper are not included.
The hotel in Arusha where we stayed (Safari Homes) was incredible—organized, clean, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and very helpful! I want to thank Hussein, Henry, Nancy, and Chef Bryan—they are amazing people!
The hotel itself is simply minimalist, absolutely beautiful, and very peaceful since it is away from the noise of Arusha. Everything is brand new, with pleasant spaces to sit and relax before and after the safari.
