Unforgettable safari with Suricata – beyond anything we imagined!
Our 6-day safari with Suricata Safaris was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences you never forget — and honestly, it’s hard to describe with words. The connection with wildlife was so real, so raw… seeing lions just meters away, watching elephants stroll past us, the sunsets over the Serengeti — it felt like living inside a nature documentary.
From the very beginning, the Suricata team made everything smooth and easy.
⭐️ Grace helped us with the booking process and planning — super kind, helpful, and always patient with our questions.
📍 At arrival, Daniel welcomed us and walked us through the full itinerary in such a clear and friendly way that we felt instantly at ease.
🚗 And Adam, our guide and driver for the entire safari — what a gem! He was knowledgeable, fun, and always made sure we were safe, comfortable, and in the right spot at the right time. Honestly, Adam made our trip 10x better.
We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro conservation area and crater — every place had something magical. We stayed in Boma Suricata Lodge and Tortilis Camp, both amazing in their own way — cozy, well-located, and with that special feeling of being in the heart of nature.
After the safari, we ended our adventure in Zanzibar, relaxing on its stunning beaches — the perfect way to wind down after so many incredible moments.
If you’re thinking of doing a safari in Tanzania, don’t think twice — Suricata Safaris will give you not just a trip, but a life experience. We’re beyond grateful!

A safari experience that will leave you with so many special memories
I am not quite sure I can sum up my experience in a couple sentences, but I could not recommend Suricata Safaris more! They truly were the best! Our safari guide Rocky was so knowledgeable about the history of the national parks and the animals who call these parks home. His energy was contagious and kept us engaged and laughing. We were able to see the Big 5 and tons of lions, elephants, zebras, hippos up close. In addition to the animals, the food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was just spectacular, thanks to our chef Tito. Each meal was packed with flavor and local spices, with fresh fish, pilau, fruit, and much more. You won't regret booking with Suricata Safaris, I would go back in a heartbeat!

Smooth as butter
I am so happy with the service providet by Melita, Salem and Kelvin! From start to finish i was taken care of. We got briefed and picked up at our hotel and from then on it was smooth sailing through the beautiful landscapes of northern Tanzania. Melita, our driver and guide knew all the best spots to find and take pictures of animales. He was also very knoledgeable, so if you are interested in facts about african wildlife, you are at the right adress. The food, provided by Salem, was also always plenty and really good. He even coocked some european/western dishes and interpreted them in his refreshing tanzanian style.
All in all, if you want to experience wildlife in tanzania, Melita is the guy you should talk to!

Knowledgable
Melita is amazing! He is extremely knowledgable about every animal and stops along the way to answer all questions. His driving was very professional and cautious. We were lucky enough to see lioness and its cubs which is very rare. We did a 4 day safari including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch was made with so much love everyday by the wonderful chef Salem. I would recommend this trip to everyone at least once in their lifetime!

Best Safari EVER!
I had never been on a Safari before so I did not know what to expect. Suricata Safari blew me away! Our guide Rocky was AMAZING! He was funny, kind, patient, knew all the hot spots, made sure we had a clear view of every animal we encountered and he was full of fun facts for every animal we saw and we saw ALL the animals. He also had great rapport with all the other guides which was great because they helped him figure out where the animals were. We were able to see the big 5 which was not guaranteed but we saw them!!!! The camping was great, comfortable and overall nice. The best part of camping was the food. Our chef Tito’s food was full on gourmet meals! Breakfast, lunch and dinner all of them absolutely delicious. I can’t stress enough how great this trip was. If you book, ask for Rocky!!!!

After reading all the reviews why haven’t you booked?
This was an amazing experience! The driver Elas was very knowledgeable of the area and had a great eye! Just in two days we saw everything Serengeti had to offer with wild life. Then there was the food… it was amazing! We had full course meals when other groups had box lunches haha. The camping was clean and we even were visited by zebras the last night. I had booked this as an add on after Kilimanjaro and this was such a surprise. I’ll definitely be coming back for a larger safari with this company.
Outside of the safari I was given a 1:1 briefing where they came to my hotel I was staying at. I didn’t have binoculars so my briefer John picked up a rental for me to use. I misjudged how far Moshi was to Arusha so decided to get a hotel here vs the one I booked in Moshi. The team was very helpful and got me a room and arranged my airport travel the next day.

Mind-blowing experience with Suricata Safaris! Best Safari of our lives! Outstanding guide!
Organised with my brother almost by chance, it was the most exciting experience we have had so far. Suricata Safaris was able to meet all our needs and gave us an experience that was absolutely mind-blowing. Despite our delayed flight, we found a staff person patiently waiting for us at the airport. From that moment on, we were cradled and cuddled in a growing of emotions.
All the staff were helpful, welcoming and kind, to say the least: from the staff of Suricata Booma Lodge (a gem with a view on Lake Manyara) to the staff of each of the accommodation and/or tented lodges where we stayed during the safari.
However, we would particularly like to thank Gerald, our guide throughout the Safari, because he accompanied us on our journey to discover the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in an EXCELLENT manner. Always ready to answer any of our questions in more than detail, he was able to convey to us the beauty of a wild land, rich not only in animals, but also in so much greenery and so much culture and tradition that touched us deeply and moved us too. Gerald was able to create a wonderful feeling with the whole group and make our trip unforgettable.
We are happy and consider ourselves very lucky to have had the opportunity to not only meet such amazing people, but also to have seen so many animals in their natural habitat, learning a little more about their habits and their land...thanks to Gerald, of course!
To anyone who wants to experience the same emotions as us, we recommend that you organise your trip with Suricata Safaris and ask to be accompanied on your journey by Gerald himself!
