Best frente experience of Safari!
We had an absolutely incredible 4-day safari through Tanzania’s most iconic national parks, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Seeing the Big Five within the first days was an unforgettable experience and a dream come true.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, Melita. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife, and always knew exactly where to go to give us the best opportunities to see the animals. He shared fascinating information about the parks, the animals, and the local culture, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
Melita was also very friendly, patient, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire journey. His experience and dedication were evident every day, and we truly appreciated how hard he worked to make our safari unforgettable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better safari experience. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend this tour—and especially Melita as your guide. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

An unforgettable safari experience!
Our 4-day safari was truly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we had dreamed of, including the famous Big Five. Every single day was full of unforgettable moments.
A very special thank you to our guide, Melita Rafael. He was outstanding throughout the entire trip extremely careful, professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to accommodate every request we had. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we had amazing wildlife sightings and made the most of every game drive.
We would also like to thank the entire team for the excellent organization, the well-maintained vehicles, and the outstanding service throughout the safari.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tanzania. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Very good
Our 4-day safari was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide and driver, Melita.
From the very first day, Melita was kind, professional, patient, and always attentive to every detail. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was impressive, and he made sure we had the best possible chance to see the animals we dreamed of finding. Thanks to his experience, we were able to enjoy countless unforgettable wildlife sightings.
He was always punctual, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. You can clearly see how passionate he is about his work, and that made our safari even more special.
These four days exceeded all of our expectations. We will cherish these memories forever, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Thank you, Melita, for making our dream safari so perfect. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience!

Was so clear thank you
They fulfill what they promise, I recommend them, África in my heart
Wonderful tour
I went on a three-day safari and loved it. I highly recommend it.
Our guide, Rastaman, was super attentive. Patient with communication (because we don't speak English very well), helpful, punctual, and he spared no effort to show us the Big Five. Always concerned about our well-being. He certainly made all the difference in our experience.
The accommodations are also great and comfortable.
The food is also very good.
I recommend it to everyone. It's an incredible experience.

Fantastic Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris & Damien
We had very good safari experience with Suricata Safaris and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania!
Our guide Damien was fantastic — friendly, always in a good mood, and spoke excellent English. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the entire safari ecosystem, and the parks themselves. As a driver, he was skilled and confident on the rough roads, which made a huge difference during our long game drives. Thanks to his expertise, we had a smooth and enjoyable time throughout.
We traveled in a very comfortable and powerful Toyota Land Cruiser, which is perfect for the Tanzanian roads — spacious, reliable, and ideal for long days in the bush. Since we opted for a private safari, we could fully enjoy the open rooftop (which opens and closes easily), giving us incredible views and perfect opportunities for photography.
Our itinerary covered the classic northern circuit: Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife and were thrilled with the sightings. We managed to see four of the Big Five, only missing the leopard. We did spot two rhinos in the crater, though at a distance, as expected.
The entire safari was very well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. We also booked our flight and stay in Zanzibar through Suricata Safaris, and we’re really looking forward to that next chapter of our trip.
Thank you Damien, Richard and the whole Suricata team for creating such memorable experiences!

Amazing 4 day safari!
We had an amazing safari with Suricata and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The first hotel in Arusha, where we also stayed on our last night, was excellent. It was a little noisy, but the staff was incredibly friendly and the facilities were great. We were also lucky to be part of a wonderful group with travelers from Australia and Spain, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
A special thank you to our guide, Amiri. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings. His passion and enthusiasm really made this safari unforgettable.
If I could do the trip again, I would definitely spend more time in the Serengeti and add another night in the tented camp. Sleeping there was an incredible experience and one of the absolute highlights of the trip.
The other lodges were also far beyond my expectations. I was surprised this was considered a mid-range safari because the accommodations and facilities were fantastic throughout the trip.
A big thank you to Amiri and the entire Suricata team for making this such a memorable adventure. I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania!
