Prompt. Efficient. You get more than your money’s worth.
I booked a last minute 5days Trip- Adventure Camping Safari with Suricata Safaris and the experience was amazing! They were very prompt at getting back with you and making sure that all your needs and questions are addressed.
“Oh my, oh my,” how do I start. Pascal Mollel was our guide for the whole trip and he was par excellence! He was every prompt, efficient and knowledgeable. He can answer all the questions about everything that you can think of. Sort of a walking encyclopedia of Tanzania’s national parks. He anticipates our needs even before we ask for anything. He makes sure that we experience and see everything, always making sure that we are safe. He made me feel like a queen, always there to assist me when getting in and out of the Land Cruiser. He really touched my heart when he surprised us with Coca Cola for everybody on our excursion knowing that we were longing for one! We are really lucky to have him and will go with him to end of the earth anytime of the day!
PS. Request for Pascal Mollel and you will never regret your trip!

A Memorable First Day in Tarangire with an Excellent Guide
Our first safari day with Suricata Safaris was a fantastic introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes. We started with Tarangire National Park, which immediately felt special with its huge baobab trees, open scenery and incredible variety of animals.
A big part of the experience was thanks to our guide, Steve. He was excellent from start to finish: calm, friendly, very professional and clearly passionate about the natural world. He explained many details about the animals, birds, plants and the specific ecosystem of Tarangire, which made the day much more interesting than simply spotting wildlife.
He also has an amazing ability to see animals that we would never have noticed ourselves. Thanks to his sharp eye, we even managed to spot a leopard in the distance, which was a real highlight. During the day, we also saw two lionesses, many elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, beautiful birds and several impressive eagles.
The vehicle was very comfortable, and Steve’s driving was careful and reassuring throughout the day. Everything felt well organised, with plenty of drinking water available and a very good lunch provided during the safari.
At the end of the day, we visited a small Maasai village close to Suricata Boma Lodge. It was a very interesting cultural experience, with traditional dances, family homes and explanations about the local way of life. It added a meaningful human dimension to the day after the wildlife experience.
Suricata Boma Lodge was also a very pleasant surprise. The setting near Lake Manyara is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, and the dinner was excellent.
Overall, this was a very strong first day: beautiful landscapes, impressive wildlife, a great cultural stop and, above all, an outstanding guide. Steve made the experience both enjoyable and informative, and we are very happy to continue the safari with him.

The best experience ever!
We have just arrived back from our 3 nights, 4 day safari of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. We went as a family of 4 with friends who are also a family of 4. This meant we had two safari vehicles with 2 guides. Our guides Jeremy and Simon were the best we could ask for. We saw the big 5 and many more. The comminications for pick ups and day adventures were clear. Jeremy and Simons knowlwedge of the areas and animals were excellent. We stayed in various accommodation which were high standards. Hot food on the trip was provided each day and we had plenty of toilet stops. Everyday we saw lots of wildlife. We would highly recommend.
Incredible experience all round
We have just returned from our 3nt/4 day safari with Suricata and I can’t thank them enough for the amazing family adventure we’ve all had.
We went as 2 families of 4 so had 2 guides, Jeremy & Simon, who were fantastic.
Friendly, knowledgeable & went out of their way to ensure we were happy.
We saw every animal we could dream of seeing and could not have asked for anymore - just wish we had longer! We will hopefully be back!
Our accommodation was also fantastic, especially Suricata Boma Lodge - so much more luxurious than we expected- again wish we’d had longer there to try all the facilities.
Serengeti Bush Camp was also a wonderful experience, being in the middle of the plains with all the animal noises.

Full and real experience
Many miles traveled to discover a new world. The Big Five in real life is an incredible experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.
He is great at spotting wildlife
Very easy process, I booked at the very last minute and everything was perfect. My guide Luther knew everything about the animals and we saw everything from lions to elephants. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to see some of the world’s most iconic animals and landscapes.

The Best Safari Experience in Tanzania with Suricata Safari
Our safari with Suricata Safari was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the entire journey smooth, comfortable, and unforgettable.
A very special thank you to our driver and tour guide, Anton. He was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge of the wildlife, nature, and local culture was incredible, and he always made sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to his sharp eyes and experience, we were able to spot so many amazing animals, including the Big Five. He was professional, friendly, patient, and always happy to answer our questions with a smile.
One detail that we really appreciated was how much Anton cared about our comfort. Every morning before we started our journey, the inside of the safari vehicle was always spotless and clean. It may seem like a small thing, but after long game drives on dusty roads, coming back to a clean vehicle made a huge difference. It clearly showed how much pride Anton takes in his work and how dedicated he is to providing the best possible experience for his guests.
What touched us the most was how kind and caring Anton was with our son, Kenzo. Throughout the entire trip, Anton made sure Kenzo felt comfortable, safe, and included. He was incredibly patient and thoughtful, making the safari fun and enjoyable for him every single day. As parents, it gave us great peace of mind to see how happy and secure Kenzo felt throughout the journey.
The accommodations, food, transportation, and overall service exceeded our expectations. Every game drive was exciting, and every day brought unforgettable moments. We felt safe, well taken care of, and genuinely welcomed throughout the trip.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Suricata Safari. And if you have the chance, definitely ask for Anton as your guide—you’ll be in the best hands! Thank you, Anton, for making this adventure so memorable. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime!
