5 unforgettable days with Suricata Safari!
We had an absolutely incredible 5-day safari experience in Tanzania with Suricata Safari. From the guides to the accommodation, everything contributed to making this trip truly unforgettable.
Our first guide, Amos, accompanied us on our first two days at Lake Manyara and Tarangire. He is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and it was such a pleasure to discover our very first animals with him. He was a true encyclopedia when it came to wildlife, flora and fauna, and shared so much fascinating information with us throughout the days. He also gave us the opportunity to experience unforgettable close encounters with elephants, absolutely magical! 🐘
Our second guide, Jeremy, joined us for the next three days in Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. He is an exceptional driver and has an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He found us THE best spots and was constantly on the lookout. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see lions, cheetahs and their babies, and even leopards from very close up on our very first day with him! It was simply incredible. 🦁🐆
One of the highlights of our entire stay was also our hot-air balloon flight at sunrise over the Serengeti, followed by breakfast in the middle of the savannah. It was truly magical and definitely one of our favourite moments of the trip. 🎈🌅 We were even greeted by a cheetah waiting for us near the landing site, an absolutely unforgettable surprise!
There was, however, a small issue with this experience: although we had paid for the balloon flight in advance, the information had not been properly passed on to the teams. If we hadn’t reminded them, we would unfortunately not have been able to do it. Thankfully, the teams reacted very quickly, organized everything for us and made sure we could enjoy this incredible experience. And what an experience it turned out to be!
As for the accommodation, Boma Lodge was absolutely beautiful. We spent two dream-like nights there. The room, food, swimming pool, activities and staff were all perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax after our safari days.
Our third night at Serengeti Tanzania Bush Camp – Simba was another unforgettable experience. Sleeping right in the middle of the savannah was something truly special, and every little detail had been thought through. Steve, the manager, was amazing and incredibly attentive (he had even remembered everyone’s names!). We ate very well, slept comfortably and even had a hot shower in the middle of the Serengeti. What an experience!
Our last night at Karatu Villas Lodge was also wonderful. The entire team went out of their way to accommodate my dietary intolerances and make sure I could enjoy my meals safely. Once again, the staff were exceptional and incredibly kind.
If we had to mention a couple of small negative points, it would be that some of the information we had provided to the team beforehand (which were asked by the team) particularly regarding my dietary intolerances and our hot-air balloon experience, had not been properly communicated to the teams upon our arrival. However, every team we encountered was extremely adaptable and always did their best to resolve any issue quickly. In the end, everything worked out perfectly!
We experienced five truly extraordinary days, completely out of time. So many incredible animals, breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable encounters and memories that we will never forget.
Thank you so much to the entire Suricata Safari team, Amos, Jeremy, Prince and all the wonderful staff for making this adventure so special! ❤️🇹🇿

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris
Our safari with Suricata Safaris was absolutely amazing and unforgettable! Amiri was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We were lucky to see the Big Five and many other amazing animals, and we got fantastic photos throughout the trip. Our international group was wonderful and we had so much fun together. The lodges were beautiful and comfortable, and the food was excellent. Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end. We could not have wished for a better safari experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent service!
We found Suricata from online references. They have provided excellent service. The best thing was skilled guides/drivers who know where the best sightings are of wildlife. Lodges and campsites were also amazing. Especially Suricata's own Suricata Boma Lodge. The pricing was very reasonable, in fact the lowest among 4-5 companies we contacted
Excellent
We went on safari in Aug with Suricata. Our guide Rastaman was very knowledgeable and provided all the information about the wildlife during the safari. We could spot all the big 5 animals during the safari. We had a great time.
