5 days mid range safari, amazing experience
Our 5-day mid-range safari was an unforgettable experience. The Suricata team was always friendly, supportive, and communication was fast and clear. The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully accommodated our dietary restrictions, including lactose and gluten intolerance.
A special thanks to our guide Melita, knowledgeable, fun, he was great in spot all of the Big Five. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, with Suricata Boma Lodge and the Land of Nature campsite in the Serengeti standing out in particular.
Totally recommended tour and agency!

The best
We make the great safari in Tanzânia with Suricatas and we love the experience.
Rocky was our driver and he is fantastic.
Thanks
Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, this safari was an absolute highlight! Our guide Rocky made the days truly special – with a warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible knowledge about wildlife, plants, and nature.
We didn’t just visit the best spots; we also learned fascinating stories and facts that brought the whole experience to life. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more – always with the utmost respect for the animals and their environment.
The accommodations along the way were comfortable, clean, and full of character – each with its own charm and spectacular views. The food was equally impressive: fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, with delicious local dishes that made every meal a treat.
Our guide answered every question with patience, always knew where the next adventure was waiting, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of at all times.

They Don’t Deliver What They Promise, Constant Lies, No Refund
We booked a 4-day midrange honeymoon safari with Suricata Safaris. What we got: reversed itinerary without notice, exhausting drives to meet the itinerary of people that was doing a 3 day safari with us, downgraded lodges that were not lodges almost 2 hours outside the parks, and a schedule cut short to match other guests. Multiple times we were moved to much worst accommodation with no warning.
The worst part: the lying. At the end, they apologized, promised compensation, and assured us a refund for 1 of the 4 days. Their own messages tell the story:
“Please accept our sincere apologies for the issues you experienced during your 4-day safari. We’re truly sorry to hear that your trip—especially such a special occasion as your honeymoon—fell short of expectations in several key areas.”
"This is not the kind of experience we aim to deliver, and we regret that you were not informed of the changes in advance.”
"Your refund has been successfully initiated. Please allow up to 24 hours."
"Please share your bank details" (after claiming it was sent).
"I’ll send the bank slip shortly" — which never existed.
No refund ever arrived. Just lie after lie. Trying to sort it out through our bank now.
We understand sometimes things can be a bit unpredictable and changes might occur, but we don't accept the continuous trickery. Drivers and guides are good, but Suricata’s logistics and dishonesty ruin everything. If we’d known, we’d have booked elsewhere.

Amazing Safari!
My safari experience was truly amazing!
Shoutouts to the exceptional team who made it unforgettable:
- John, for arranging transport with the outstanding driver Kamidi, who went above and beyond – driving me to a local dinner spot on my last day and even helping me order!
- Our incredibly patient and knowledgeable guide Melita, who helped us spot every animal – the elusive rhino included!
- And Jeremiah, our talented cook, who served up fresh and delicious meals throughout.
I'm forever grateful and will definitely recommend!

A dream come true!
Suricatas Safari made my lifelong dream of a Tanzanian safari come true. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara, each offering breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters. Our guide, Emanuel, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and with an amazing eye for spotting animals, including a rare black rhino and a pair of lions on their honeymoon!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable vehicle to the well-planned itinerary. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.
