A Truly Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari
Our safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable experience and far exceeded our expectations. We were amazed by the incredible wildlife and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five. One of the highlights was seeing rhinos from such a close distance — a truly rare and special moment.
Every place we visited was unique, breathtaking, and unlike anything we had ever seen before. The landscapes, the wildlife, and the overall experience were simply unbelievable.
A special thank you to our guide, Gerald, whose knowledge, professionalism, and passion made the trip even more memorable. He always made sure we were in the best spots for wildlife viewing and shared fascinating information throughout the journey.
I would also like to thank Suricata Safaris for organizing such a wonderful safari. Everything was perfectly arranged, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish.

Fantastic experience
This was a fantastic experience and definitely exceeded our expectations. We booked a 4-day safari in June and managed to see an incredible amount in such a short time. We spotted both the Big Five and the Ugly Five, along with many other amazing animals.
A huge part of this experience was thanks to our wonderful driver and guide, Gerald. He was not only exceptional at spotting wildlife but also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, their behavior, and their habitats. His expertise and passion truly made this safari unforgettable.
We hope to have the opportunity to do this again someday.

Extraordinary experience and perfect guide Gerald
It was amazing experience. Guide know all the animal and spoted many of them. Riding games was super great. All the days we was provided with water and food (which was tasty). We saw elephants, giraffes, cheetah, gepards, many lions, buffalos, gazelles, rhynos, hippos and many many birds. Guide was super experienced.
The ultimate experience
From the first minute to the last, Gerald made our experience so special and far beyond our expectations. His knowledge and experience shone through and I think we saw every animal we wanted to and many more.
The accommodation offered was all so much better than we expected.
I would highly this company and you should ask for Gerard to be your tour guide!
I highly recommend this company; they are very professional and well-organized.
We did this three-day camping safari with our children. They absolutely loved it. We saw so many animals. Our driver/guide Steve was wonderful, extremely kind, and very fun. He explained so many things to us and took great care of us.

A world-class safari operator that exceeded every expectation, combining expert local knowledge, exc
Our safari in the Serengeti was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that experience was thanks to our incredible guide, Melita.
From the moment we met him, Melita’s professionalism, friendliness, and passion for wildlife were evident. His knowledge of the Serengeti ecosystem, animal behaviour, and local culture was exceptional. He was always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights that made every game drive even more enjoyable.
What really set Melita apart was his remarkable ability to spot wildlife. His experience and keen eye led us to some incredible sightings that we would never have found on our own. Whether tracking animals, interpreting behaviour, or finding the perfect position for photographs, he consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience.
Melita was also an excellent host throughout the safari. He was patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every moment special. His calm and confident approach made us feel safe and comfortable at all times, while his enthusiasm for the Serengeti was infectious.
Thanks to Melita, our safari exceeded all expectations. The memories we made in the Serengeti will stay with us forever, and much of that is due to his dedication, expertise, and passion for what he does.
If you’re planning a safari and have the opportunity to travel with Melita, don’t hesitate. He is an outstanding guide and a true ambassador for Tanzania’s incredible wildlife. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Thank you, Melita, for an amazing adventure and an experience we will never forget.

One in a lifetime experience
We did the four day safari with our tour operator Melita who was friendly and knowledgeable.
We got to see all of the big five and were lucky enough to also see baby cheetahs and elephants. The jeep was clean and tidied every night and felt like our little home away from home.
The food was delicious with a variety every day. Compliments to the chef
Melita was always communicating with us about what we were doing throughout the day and made sure we got to experience the safari Tanzania to the fullest.
We were initially not sure if four days would be too much but I must say it was the perfect amount of time. For photography enthusiasts we were lucky to get extremely close to most of the animals with the exception of the rhino but we were able to see them. As its nature nothing is guaranteed but Melita made sure to give us every experience possible.
We opted to camp in tents and they were surprisingly warm and comfortable. Toilets were never too far away and showers were pretty good especially for camping. Serengeti has no hot water just to be aware before you go in but you should also be aware before you go, don’t worry about it, it doesn’t take away from the experience.
It was truly an unforgettable experience and I cannot recommend it enough.
As a family it’s probably our last big holiday together as people grow older and move to all over the world and this was everything we hoped it would be and more.
Melita was absolutely amazing, made our trip the success it was, I would definitely recommend .
Our safari was the dream we were hoping for with so many animals to see and all thanks to Melita for this, nothing was to much trouble for him. We also had a great chef who provided us with lovely meals. Would definitely recommend this company they are very professional.
