Excellent 5 day Safari with a lot of adventure and fun
We had a great 5-day safari with Suricata! We did the camping tour, and although we normally don’t like camping, we absolutely loved it. The tents were really good, and we slept well. The food was delicious every single day.
Communication beforehand was easy, and the safari was definitely worth the money. The value for money was excellent!
We had three different tour guides, and all of them did an awesome job! Robert and Amos told us so many interesting things about the animals and the national parks, which made the experience even better.
For the last few days, we went with Jordan. He’s a great guy who explained a lot about the wildlife and the parks, drove really well through the parks, and was always helpful.
We enjoyed every second of our safari and would do it all over again! Highly recommended!

Life changing experience
An Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Communication & Value for Money
Communication was flawless throughout the entire trip, and the value for money was excellent. We stayed in tents, which perfectly matched the price we paid, and the amenities provided were good. Everything was reliable and well organised.
Food & Cook Samson
The food was always varied, with a great selection of different dishes, including banana stew, fish, meat, fresh greens, vegetables, and even wine! Our cook, Samson, made sure we always stayed on schedule while providing an incredible variety of delicious meals. He catered to everyone’s dietary requirements, including gluten-free and vegetarian diets, and made sure that everyone was happy and well-fed.
Samson always greeted us with a smile and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible food experience. We were all extremely satisfied with his cooking and his positive attitude throughout the trip.
Our Tour Guide, Alawi
Our tour guide, Alawi, was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. His driving was safe and reliable, and we always felt that we were in good hands. We fully trusted him to find the best spots for wildlife sightings, and thanks to his expertise, we managed to see an incredible variety of animals and even witnessed a hunt!
Alawi also managed our expectations perfectly, which made every amazing sighting even more exciting. In the end, the experience exceeded all our expectations.
He was always polite, helpful, and solution-oriented, and he was happy to assist us with any request. His knowledge of the animals and their behaviour was truly impressive, and he shared so many fascinating facts with us throughout the safari.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an amazing adventure in Tanzania!

Ask for Steve! Legend Guide
Guided/driven by Steve! Absolute legend managed to find us our own lion and elephant road crossing in the first day without any other tours nearby. Steve has an overwhelming knowledge of these animals and fantastic English to explain it all. Great conversation throughout the days. Always felt safe with Steve’s driving.
First lodge - owned by Suricata is luxurious and watching the sunset by the pool with a cocktail was magical.
Downfall with tour was poor communication for airport pickup ?a contractor who did not bring branded signage and 30 mins late - meant we had to send his photo to the company on WhatsApp to confirm he was legitimate. During this time we had a number of local operators try and convince us they were our driver (without knowing any of our details/ destination)
Unfortunately the first night at Summit Lodge was also disappointing - location is far from the Main Street making it unsafe to leave at night unless in prearranged vehicle and rooms are tired, filled with mould in bathrooms and broken shower taps leak water throughout bathroom.

Incredible Safari Experience
Incredible experience, would highly recommend. We were blessed to have Steve as our driver/guide; his experience on Safari was unmatched. He was a magician in finding all of the animals (and away from the crowds) and was so engaging throughout the trip. Very safe and knowledgeable driver. Can't thank Steve enough for the experience he gave us, we learnt so much! The Suricata Boma lodge was also outstanding, as well as the camps throughout. Amazing trip. Highly recommend Suricata.

Amazing 6-Day Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris!
We booked our 6-day safari directly with Suricata Safaris, and from the very beginning, the entire booking process was incredibly personal, easy, and professional.
From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized – from the airport pickup to the accommodations and the entire safari experience. We didn’t have to worry about a thing!
A special thank you to our fantastic guides, Robert, who accompanied us on the first day, and Melita, who guided us for the remaining days. Both were excellent drivers, incredibly knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to go to find the wildlife. They shared so many interesting facts about the animals and made every game drive a truly special experience.
We had an absolutely wonderful time, saw incredible wildlife, and created memories that will last a lifetime.
We can highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania!

Amazing
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely incredible experience, a dream come true! 🦁🐘🦒
We had an unforgettable safari in Tanzania! Everything was absolutely magical from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to our guide Ecky, who was incredibly kind! Always attentive, passionate, and professional, he did everything he could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we got to see all the animals we had dreamed of seeing in their natural habitat. It was simply amazing!
As for the accommodation, we chose the lodges and luxury tented camps in the heart of the savannah, and we absolutely loved them! Sleeping surrounded by nature while still enjoying great comfort made the experience even more special.
We also had the opportunity to see some of the camps in the most budget-friendly category. Personally, I would really recommend choosing at least the second accommodation category if your budget allows it. The difference in comfort and quality is definitely worth the extra cost, especially for such a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
This safari will remain one of the most beautiful memories of our lives. We are leaving with stars in our eyes and unforgettable memories.
A huge thank you to the entire team, and especially to Ecky, for this extraordinary adventure! ❤️
We couldn’t recommend this experience enough! 100% worth it!
