Melita the best coffee in Brazil
We did the 3-day mid-range safari option in Tanzania and had an amazing experience overall. We saw incredible wildlife and some truly beautiful animals in their natural habitat.
Our driver, Melita, was a man of few words, but he was always happy to answer our questions and explain what we were seeing. What impressed us the most was his ability to get us very close to some of the animals, which made the experience unforgettable.
We would also like to give special recognition to Chef Luca, who prepared wonderful meals throughout our trip. The food consistently exceeded our expectations and was an important part of making the experience so enjoyable.
Among the lodges we stayed at, Tanzania Bush Camp was by far the highlight. Staying in the middle of the Serengeti was an immersive and unique experience that we will always remember.
The only downside was our second night at Bougainville Lodge. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in our room, and the window would not close properly. These were not major issues, but since we paid extra specifically to have a private room with hot water, it was disappointing. In addition, the lodge is quite far from the reserve, which meant extra driving time.
Despite this inconvenience, the safari itself was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it for the incredible wildlife sightings, the excellent food, and the unforgettable Serengeti experience.

The cook was excellent and the guide was great as well 👏
However, the first campsite left a bit to be desired in some aspects.
Other than that, everything was impeccable and it was a very positive experience 😊

A Dream We Will Never Forget
Suricata Safaris turned what felt like an intimidating dream into one of the most beautiful, safe, and unforgettable experiences our family has ever lived.
We traveled to Tanzania as a family with children, and like many first-time travelers to Africa, we had questions, excitement, and honestly, some fears. From the very beginning, Suricata Safaris made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.
Our guide and driver, Damian, made this trip extraordinary. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly attentive to our daughters. He understood when to stop, where to look, how to make the experience magical, and somehow always seemed to know what would make the day even more special. He became much more than a guide during this trip.
We are deeply grateful and already dreaming of coming back.
Asante sana, Suricata Safaris.

A highly professional tour operator that delivers memorable experiences with passionate guides and e
Overall, everything was perfect and the experience exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and professional, and the visit was very enjoyable from start to finish.
The only area that could be improved is the communication before departure. A little more information and clearer updates for customers ahead of time would make the experience even smoother and more reassuring.
A special mention goes to the guide, Félix, who was simply incredible. Passionate, knowledgeable, attentive, and always in a good mood, he made the experience truly memorable. His enthusiasm, explanations, and care for the group added tremendous value to the tour and made the whole day even more enjoyable.
Apart from that small point regarding pre-departure communication, everything was very well organized and I would highly recommend this tour.

Super !!
It was a truly unique experience. Melita guided us through the wonders of the savannah, exploring Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including the crater. He was an attentive guide, always helpful, available, and incredibly friendly. He made the entire journey even more special.
