Ecky made this the safari of a lifetime
An unforgettable safari, thanks to Ecky and the whole Suricate Safaris team
We did a 5-day safari with Suricate Safaris, booked directly with the company, and it was one of the most incredible experiences my friend Andrea and I have ever had. From day one, we felt we were in the hands of true professionals, passionate about what they do.
The true star of our experience was Ecky, our guide. It’s hard to put into words how extraordinary he is: he has an encyclopedic knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, flora and ecosystems, and a unique gift for sharing it with warmth and charisma. Ecky is Maasai, which made his storytelling even more special: he told us so much about local culture and society, traditions and way of life, and that enriched the trip in a way we didn’t expect. Beyond his professionalism, he’s a sensitive, attentive person who genuinely cared that we made the most of every moment.
The accommodations were another huge highlight of the trip. Boma de Suricatas is absolute top-tier luxury: every detail thought out to make the stay as elegant as it was comfortable. And the bush camp in the Serengeti was something completely new for us: sleeping in the heart of the savannah, surrounded by the sounds of nature, is an experience we’ll never forget.
The 5 days were a string of magical moments: sightings straight out of a documentary, sunrises and sunsets impossible to describe, and that and that sense of vastness that only Africa can give you. We were so captivated by everything that, saying goodbye to Ecky on the last day, we ended up in tears. We really hope to go back someday.
Andrea and I agreed that the quality of your guide makes all the difference on a safari. Ask for Ecky — we promise you’ll never regret it.
We recommend Suricate Safaris without any hesitation. We will definitely be back.

An unforgettable experience that exceeded all my expectations!
I just finished my safari with Suricata, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made this trip extraordinary was our guide, Ecky.
Ecky is a top-tier professional. His knowledge, experience, constant kindness, and deep passion for his work shine through in every detail. I especially want to highlight his incredible ability to adapt to our timing and preferences; he perfectly understood us and the exact way we wanted to experience this adventure. He went above and beyond at every turn to make sure we had an incredible, tailor-made journey.
I also have to mention our stay at Suricata Boma, which was simply superlative: comfort, great service, and the perfect atmosphere to unwind after a day on safari.
I without a doubt recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an authentic, top-quality experience. A huge thank you to Ecky for creating memories that will stay with me forever!

Life time experience
My 4-day, 3-night experience with Suricata Safari was the trip of a lifetime.
From booking and airport pickup to local supplies and the safari itself, everything was smooth with exceptionally clear communication and support.
All staff were friendly, and I especially want to thank our guide, Melita!
Melita actively checked what animals we wanted to see and accommodated everyone's needs brilliantly. Naturally, we saw all of the Big Five, and even had the miraculous experience of witnessing a topi giving birth right before my eyes.
All the lodges we stayed at during the safari were great, and as a solo traveler joining a group, the other people in the group were also amazing.
One slight point of improvement: I traveled alone, but was assigned twin beds at two lodges consecutively. Although I communicated with the hotel to get the rooms changed, it would have been nice if they had asked about room preferences in advance.

An Authentic Safari Experience with Outstanding Guides
Our experience with Suricata Safaris was excellent from start to finish. The guides were friendly, professional, attentive, and always willing to help with any request. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire journey and paid great attention to every detail, adapting to our needs and preferences. Their knowledge of wildlife and the parks made the safari even more enjoyable and interesting. The atmosphere was relaxed, genuine, and full of good humor — truly “pole pole” in the best Tanzanian spirit. We felt safe, well taken care of, and completely satisfied with the service. I would highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience in Tanzania.
Hakuna Matata and Pole Pole – the perfect way to discover Tanzania! 😊
