Amazing Safari!
My safari experience was truly amazing!
Shoutouts to the exceptional team who made it unforgettable:
- John, for arranging transport with the outstanding driver Kamidi, who went above and beyond – driving me to a local dinner spot on my last day and even helping me order!
- Our incredibly patient and knowledgeable guide Melita, who helped us spot every animal – the elusive rhino included!
- And Jeremiah, our talented cook, who served up fresh and delicious meals throughout.
I'm forever grateful and will definitely recommend!
Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, this safari was an absolute highlight! Our guide Rocky made the days truly special – with a warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible knowledge about wildlife, plants, and nature.
We didn’t just visit the best spots; we also learned fascinating stories and facts that brought the whole experience to life. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more – always with the utmost respect for the animals and their environment.
The accommodations along the way were comfortable, clean, and full of character – each with its own charm and spectacular views. The food was equally impressive: fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, with delicious local dishes that made every meal a treat.
Our guide answered every question with patience, always knew where the next adventure was waiting, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of at all times.

5 days mid range safari, amazing experience
Our 5-day mid-range safari was an unforgettable experience. The Suricata team was always friendly, supportive, and communication was fast and clear. The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully accommodated our dietary restrictions, including lactose and gluten intolerance.
A special thanks to our guide Melita, knowledgeable, fun, he was great in spot all of the Big Five. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, with Suricata Boma Lodge and the Land of Nature campsite in the Serengeti standing out in particular.
Totally recommended tour and agency!

Made me fall in love with Tanzania
Suricata Safari made me fall in love with Africa, and Tanzania. Everything from when I was picked up on the airport to when I left has been so amazing that it's difficult to spell out in words.
Our guide and driver Charles was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the big 5, most of them on several occasions. The chef Mukhucin was amazing and made some of the best and diverse food I have ever tasted. Make sure to tip them well!
The camping spots were very good and most of them even had hot water for showering. I would recommend bringing some earplugs though since the animals can make quite some noise at night. We had everything from small dik-dik to elephants visiting our camps so you really get to get close to the wildlife. Also, if you are going to Ngorongoro, make sure to bring some warm clothes.
The only criticism I have is that when I was going to Serengeti we were a bit late and didn't get that much out of the day, and in Ngorongoro two other people were joining our group and there was an issue with the permit which made us all very late for the crater. They did solve this in a very good way though and I was very pleased with how it all turned out.
I am for sure returning to Tanzania after this experience!

professional
we were absolutely satisfied with the whole trip. the accomodations, especially the Suricata Boma Lodge, were amazing as a 5star hotel. the staff was very polite and cheersful everywhere. our guide, Felix was also very kind and well-informed, Daniel, the operator was nice and helpful.
ps: wear slippers during the game drives, because you can have a better sight if you stand on the seats (without shoes ofc) and it is easier to take the slippers than the boots on and off.

Our guide, Luis, was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the national park. Also, the food prepared by Chef Samsun was delicious.

The Gold Standard of Safari – A Life-Changing 40th Birthday
If I could give Suricata Safari ten stars, I would. As a solo female traveler with high standards and a very 'picky' palate for adventure, I was nervous about my first solo trip. From the moment the airport transfer picked me up at Kilimanjaro to the final goodbye, every second was perfection.
The Legend: Damien Damien is far more than a driver; he is the ultimate ambassador for Tanzania. He navigated the Serengeti like he was driving in a 'Formula One: Safari Edition'—smooth, expert, and incredibly safe. His knowledge is encyclopedic. In just three days, I learned more from him than I would have in two weeks on my own.
What I cherished most was his honesty. He was realistic about the 'Big Five,' which allowed us to stay present and truly engage with the magic of the park. Through luck, prayer, and Damien’s determination, we saw 4 out of the 5!
The 'Family' Experience Damien curated a team that made every penny worth it. The chef deserves a standing ovation—the seasoned meats, rice, and fried vegetables were the tastiest meals I’ve had in a long time. We ate like royalty. Despite being a solo traveler, I never felt alone. Damien joined our group of six for breakfast and kept us entertained throughout the day. For those three days, we weren't just tourists; we felt like a family. That sense of belonging is something I will never forget.
Professionalism & High Standards My 'OCD' regarding cleanliness was instantly put to rest. Damien takes immense pride in his appearance and the condition of his luxury jeep—it was spotless (until we hit the mud and dust, which was half the fun!). He was incredibly patient when I was a few minutes late in the mornings and even went out of his way to help me get airtime/data for my phone. His thoughtfulness knows no bounds.
The Itinerary The transition from Kilimanjaro to the Serengeti was seamless. Damien selected the finest spots with the most breathtaking views of the shifting landscapes. This trip could have felt long-winded with the wrong company, but with Suricata, I didn't want it to end.
Thank you, Damien, and the entire Suricata team, including after care team Twaha, for making my 40th birthday a masterpiece. You have my highest possible recommendation.
