Amazing First Safari Experience with Suricata
Our safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, including airport pickups, transportation to the safaris, the daily planning, and the food, which was always delicious.
The safari itself was unforgettable. Our guide, Melita, was amazing — always attentive, kind, and making sure we were comfortable at all times. Since it was our first safari, he explained everything to us in detail and made sure we could see as many animals as possible. He truly made the experience extra special.
A special mention also goes to the chef, Smson. The food was excellent throughout the trip and exceeded all our expectations!
We chose the economy experience, and overall we were very happy with it. However, since you sleep in tents, we would have appreciated a bit more cleanliness regarding the sleeping bags.

Amazing First Safari Experience Thanks to Melita and Smson
Our experience with Suricata Safaris was truly unforgettable. From the beginning, the organization and communication were excellent. Everything was arranged perfectly for us, including airport pick-up, hotel transfers before and after the safari, transportation to the parks, and the camping stays. It made the whole trip very easy and stress-free.
What made this safari really special were our guide, Melita, and our chef, Smson. Without them, the experience would not have been the same at all.
Melita was absolutely fantastic. He understood how excited we were about our first safari and did everything possible to help us see all the animals we hoped for. He was always sharing interesting explanations about the animals, nature, and the parks, and he patiently answered all our questions. You could really feel his passion and experience, which made every game drive even more enjoyable.
Smson was also amazing. He was always very polite, friendly, and prepared delicious meals throughout the trip. We were honestly surprised by how good the food was during a camping safari.
We chose the economy camping option because we wanted to save some money, so it is important to expect basic camping conditions and not too much comfort. However, everything was well organized.
I would definitely repeat another safari with Suricata Safaris and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized and authentic safari experience.
Thank you, Suricata Safaris, for this incredible adventure, and especially a huge thank you to Melita and Smson for making our first safari so memorable!

Melita was the best tour guide, we got to see the big 5 in three days, always keepimg us safe :)
The tour was well organized, they picked us up and drove us from place to place. The food was super good and the chef Samson was also really nice to us.
The guide and driver Melita was fun and kind, we could not have asked for a better guide!! We loved the experience, even though we chosed the cheapest safari and we slept 2 nights on a tent. That’s the only point we would not repeat, as the showers and batthrooms were not so clean and the water was cold. Also the tent and sleeping bags were a bit old and dirty and you heard many animals outside the tent during the night.. which was a bit scary. Even though, it was the real african experience, and we got to see amazing sunsets/sunrises and had a lot of fun.
Thanks again to the Suricata team and to Melita and Samson specially for taking care of us!!! :)
Incredible experience

An Amazing Safari
We are a family of 4 adults. We went on a 4-day, 3-night mid-range safari, which turned out to be an unforgettable experience. We managed to see the Big Five and much more! Our guide was Luther, and he did everything he could to make sure we found all the animals. He always positioned us to get the best photos and videos. I definitely recommend Suricata Safaris, both for the experience in the various parks and for the accommodations where we stayed for the 3 nights. The Suricata Boma Lodge accommodation completely exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!!

Best Guides
We had an excellent experience with Suricata Safaris! Everything was very well organized and always on time, which made the whole trip smooth and stress-free. The food and accommodations were also very good and exceeded our expectations.
We did the five-day safari, and our guides, Lewis and Gerald, were amazing. They answered all of our questions, explained a lot about the animals and parks. They made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.
We managed to see the big 5!
At the beginning of the experience, Daniel welcomed us and gave us the briefing. He was also very calm, polite, and informative.
We highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Perfect from start to finish. I would 100% recommend this safari company
From start to finish the whole package was delivered exceptionally. The airport pickup was prompt and delivered us to our hotel swiftly. We were met there by Daniel from Suricata safatis who went through the itinerary and answered any questions. The following morning our guide Damien who was with us for the 4 days arrived at the given time for our drive to the Serengeti. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Along the way we collected the chef James who provided the great lunches on our trip. Damien was excellent at finding the wildlife in all three of the parks. We had so many absolutely amazing encounters. Elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetah, zebras, hippos, huge herds of wildebeast, baboons and so much more. All of the accomodation and food was of an excellent standard and in particular Suricata Boma Lodge. I would 100% recommend Tanzania and Suricata safaris.

Incredible Safari Experience with Suricata
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our safari through Suricata Safaris. Our driver Damien was super nice and incredibly knowledgeable about animals and the land. He managed to find and get us great views of nearly every animal you could think of in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater/Conservation area, and Tarangire park. The camping experience really fun and beautiful and they made it very easy for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The chef James made us a ton of delicious food every meal. 10/10 recommend Suricata if you're thinking about doing a safari.
