Amazing experience
The tour was great! Everything was very well organized. Our driver, Amiri, was very professional—he didn't overwhelm us with unnecessary small talk, which was just perfect. Besides that, he had a great sense of timing for when to leave each viewing spot, so we never spent too much time waiting around. He also drove so skillfully that we could see the animals as closely as possible; he even predicted their movements and positioned the car right in their path so they would walk right past us. Last but not least, his car was spotless every morning, both inside and out, unlike many other safari vehicles.

Amazing Safari experience with Izack
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Safari Experience with Izack!
We had a wonderful safari experience with our tour guide Izack! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip truly memorable. We really enjoyed exploring the national parks and seeing the incredible wildlife.
The only small suggestion for improvement would be to provide an earlier briefing and communicate the daily schedule a bit more clearly, so everyone knows what to expect and when.
Overall, an amazing experience that we would definitely recommend! Thank you, Izack, for the unforgettable memories!

Unforgettable 5-day Safari with Melita and Lucas!
We just completed a 5-day/4-night mid-range safari covering Tarangire, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and we couldn't have asked for a better team. Although we originally booked through Wild Horizon Safaris, our trip was operated by Suricata Safaris, and the itinerary adjustment ended up giving us much more quality time to properly explore both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro without rushing.
Our guide, Melita, was exceptional. He is calm, patient, and deeply knowledgeable about wildlife behavior, the national parks, and Maasai culture. His ability to spot animals—both on his own and via radio—is remarkable, and he always knew how to position the vehicle in the best spot for unobstructed views while strictly respecting park rules and never crowding or startling the animals. He is also a very safe, reliable driver on rough roads, always punctual, and even stopped one evening to help pull another vehicle out of the mud, which speaks volumes about his character and professionalism.
A huge thank you as well to our chef, Lucas, who prepared delicious hot lunches for us every single day out in the bush.
The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped with charging ports at every seat, a cooler, and plenty of cold water. The mid-range lodges exceeded all expectations—clean, comfortable, with great food, hot water, electricity, and Wi-Fi even in the middle of the Serengeti.
If you get the chance to travel with Melita and Lucas, you are in the best possible hands!

Amazing
We had an incredible experience with Suricata Safaris! A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Filex, who is an amazing person and an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable about Tanzania’s wildlife and Maasai culture, always friendly, and genuinely cares about making sure you have the best possible experience. I would 100% recommend asking for him when booking with Suricata Safaris. He definitely made our trip even more special!
The mid-range package is absolutely worth considering. The selection of lodges and locations included is excellent, offering a great balance of comfort and adventure. Having comfortable accommodations, hot showers, good meals, and everything organized makes the experience even better.
One place that deserves a special mention is Bush Camp Simba in the Serengeti. It was by far our favorite accommodation of the trip! The place is incredible, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff are some of the friendliest people you will meet.
I also think six days is a great amount of time to experience the different parks, especially having a full day in the Serengeti, which was definitely one of the highlights of the entire safari.
Overall, an unforgettable experience, incredibly well organized, and with an outstanding guide.
Thank you, Filex, and thank you, Suricata Safaris! Highly recommended!

Excellent safari
Everything was very well organised, with a flexible approach to different guests’ needs. During the trip, I met people with different itineraries and lengths of stay, as well as different accommodation arrangements — some were staying in lodges, while others were camping. Just distances between accomodations of group from the same car could be closer.
The picnic lunches were a real high light (Thanks to Lukas): proper, freshly prepared meals with a good variety of dishes to choose from, rather than the standard lunch boxes offered by many other safari operators.
Our guide, Melita, was easy-going. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and patient to answer our questions.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organised, flexible and enjoyable safari!

5-Day Group Camping Safari in Tanzania
Everything was perfectly organized, from the airport transfer to the group arrangements. The food was amazing, with great vegetarian options as well. Our guide, Melita, and our cook, Luca, were simply fantastic!
Camping is, of course, a little adventure, but that’s exactly what makes the experience so special. As an extra highlight, we even got to see all of the Big Five!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for five adventurous and unforgettable days in Tanzania!

Admirable, professional, and genuinely committed to making the entire experience unforgettable
Our experience with Suricata was absolutely exceptional, and a huge part of that was our guide, Filex. He was amazing: incredibly friendly, respectful, professional, and always on time (usually even early!). He constantly checked in on us, made us feel at home, and explained everything about the wildlife and daily itinerary. He truly went above and beyond our expectations.
The accommodations were equally wonderful. Suricata Lodge had a beautiful, immersive atmosphere, excellent food, comfortable rooms, and incredibly welcoming staff. Our stay at Tanzania Bush Camp in the Serengeti was just as memorable. Everyone, from the servers to the staff, made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of.
We booked the six-day mid-range safari, covering Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and it was the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife and safari experience. Everything was well organized, reliable, and delivered beyond what we expected.
I’m not usually someone who takes the time to write reviews, but Suricata genuinely deserves the recognition. I would highly recommend them, especially to first-time safari travelers. You will be in very good hands!
