Memorable 4 days Safari with Suricata
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their kindness, attentiveness, and support throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Johnny Junior greeted us with a warm smile, humor, and genuine friendliness, making us feel right at home.
At the hotel, Musa gave us a wonderful introduction to the safari, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
However, it was Elias who truly made our trip extraordinary. I’ll forever be grateful to him for creating such a unique and memorable adventure. He was an excellent driver, with sharp eyes that spotted animals from afar, always eager to get us closer to each one so we could fully enjoy the moment. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see part of the Big Five on our very first day, along with many other wild animals and breathtaking views in the savannah. Elias was always ready to help with anything we needed, and his dedication made the experience even more special.
The meals were also amazing—fresh, local ingredients with a great variety. Every meal was delicious and different, and I only wish I could have a chef like James at home. We’re so thankful to him for the wonderful food he prepared for us.
Lastly, we had the pleasure of meeting Daniel when we returned from the safari. He was so warm and welcoming, sharing stories with us, making us laugh, and even planning a city tour. His kindness added an extra layer of joy to our trip.
This has been the perfect start to our honeymoon, and the memories we’ve made will stay with us forever. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so amazing. ♥️

Incredible 4-Day Safari with Suricata Safaris
We just returned from an unforgettable 4-day safari with Suricata Safaris, and it exceeded all expectations! From the start, Johnny warmly welcomed us at the airport, setting the tone for an amazing trip.
Our guide and driver, Elias, was exceptional—his knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes was incredible, and he made sure we spotted the Big Five (and more!). His skillful driving and storytelling kept every moment exciting.
James, the camp cook, was a culinary genius! Every meal he prepared in the wilderness was fresh, delicious, and beyond what we expected. After long days exploring, his meals were a highlight.
Musa and Daniel ensured the trip began and ended seamlessly, providing a detailed briefing to kick things off and a thoughtful debrief to wrap it up. They even treated us to a brief but insightful tour of Arusha before our transfer to the airport. Their meticulous attention to detail made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
We can’t recommend Suricata Safaris enough. The whole team—Johnny, Elias, James, Musa, and Daniel—made this a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Thank you for memories we’ll cherish forever!

Great experience - very professional staff
Our trip with Suricata Safaris was just great! Everything was well planned and the staff made it an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
First, we met with Twalbu the evening before the safari started and he answered all our questions and layed out the plan for the next days.
During the camping, our group had its own chef (Tito) who prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, each with a wide variety of „Western“ and a bit of local food. The food was super tasty and the breakfast was better than in most hotels! For the game drives between the meals, we had a cooling chest filled with water bottles in our vehicle.
Naturally, we had most contact with our driver and safari guide - Baraka. It was unbelievable how well he knew all the roads in every national park and how he saw all the animals in the distance with his bare eyes. Also, he seemed to know everything about all the animals and their behavior and was always cheerful and in a good mood. Baraka made our experience truly unforgettable with his profession and personality.
Final note about the camping: the two-person tents were always clean and some staff members always built them up for us. There were no worries and we highly recommend to experience a safari with Suricata!!

Amazing safari, organization of the whole trip was professional
We had an amazing time during the 4-day safari! Our guide, Elias, has been a safari guide for 15 years, and we felt very safe with him. We also got to see the Big Five :)
The accommodations, including the service staff, were excellent, with the Boma Lodge being a particular highlight. Upgrading to the mid-range option was absolutely worth it – we had hot water, and the food was delicious!
Highly recommended, I would do the trip the exact same way again!

Excellent tour with great guide Elias
We had a 4-day safari in 3 national parks, which was an unforgettable experience! I especially have to mention the guide, who tried very hard to make the trip as special as possible for us. The organization and accommodation were also very good!

Good company, very polite staff. We took the average tariff, in which you live in tents.
Good company, very polite staff. We took the average tariff, in which you live in tents. The tent has everything you need, hot water, toilet, a good double bed. Very atmospheric and you can hear a lot of animals.

good
After choosing suricata on Safari go, I added their WhatsApp. The price is transparent, the itinerary is clear, and the response is also very timely.
Our tour guide Golden is very friendly and professional, just like a zoologist! He has sharp eyes and is very quick to find animals. This time, except for the leopard, we have gathered all the other big five!
Tarangire is like an appetizer, there are many elephants, and it will be very exciting after entering Serengeti and Ngorongoro in the next three days! Elephants, zebras, antelopes, hyenas, warthogs, lions, buffaloes, wildebeests, giraffes, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs and various rare birds have the opportunity to see.
Accommodation mid-range I think the conditions are very good, there is a hot shower in the tent, and the comfort is also very good. And suricata's accommodation is in the grassland, you can hear the roar of lions and the sound of hyenas at night, which is exciting🤩
Sometimes they will change your itinerary temporarily, but it is acceptable to me.

Incredible experience
We had an incredible safari experience! We saw all the Big Five and many other fascinating animals. The accommodations were fantastic, with stunning views, and we even heard lions roaring in the evening. The food was also delicious.
Unfortunately, one of the windows was broken during our safari, but our guide quickly addressed the issue and had it fixed as fast as possible.
Our guide, Rustaman, was great. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, the parks, and the Maasai people, which made the trip even more enriching.
Despite the minor setbacks—losing some time due to the broken window and the "camp split" (our group was divided into two camps, which resulted in longer drives)—this was truly an unforgettable experience.
This version flows a bit smoother and gives a more cohesive reflection of your experience. Let me know if you need any further changes!

A unique experience
Our 5-day safari through the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks in Tanzania was an unforgettable adventure.
The trip with Suricata Safaris went smoothly and we were in the best hands from start to finish. At the beginning, Daniel informed us about all the important points and prepared us for the tour. The final conversation about our experiences was also very pleasant. The whole Suricata Safaris team speaks fluent and easy-to-understand English - there were no problems with understanding.
Our guide Fredy was great. His deep knowledge of animals and nature as well as his open-minded and friendly manner made the trip something very special. He was able to answer all of our questions and explained everything to us in depth. He also always gave us time to observe the animals for longer and always discovered new animals.
All of the overnight stays were something very special. The Suricata Boma Lodge in particular is impressive with its bungalows, location and view of Lake Manyara - an extraordinary experience! The freshly prepared food and the overnight stays in tents, especially in Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, gave the safari a unique atmosphere.
The absolute highlight was seeing all of the “Big Five” – a long-held wish that came true.
We can recommend this trip to everyone. Thanks to the great team at Suricata Safaris, it would be a unique experience! Thank you for everything!
