Lake Manyara National Park is known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake.

Leopards, East African lions, cheetahs, elephants, blue monkeys, dik-dik, gazelles, hippopotamus, Masai giraffe, impala, zebras and many more wild animals inhabit this park and many can be seen throughout the year.

Day 3: Serengeti National Park
Stop At: Serengeti National Park, Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, you depart for Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. Arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha/Airport for drop off

Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.
Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, it’s dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here.
Later on, will follow the transfer back to Arusha city for drop off in your hotel

We made a very good decision when choosing the suricatas company. Our experience was first class, from the moment they picked us up at the airport it was great. Each of the 6 accommodations was at the level of what we paid. Our guide, Rocky, knew a lot about each animal and really took the time to look for each animal. We had some incredible sightings thanks to his professionalism. Tito the cook, I prepare delicious lunches and dinners! congratulations .
Meerkats Lodge was incredible, its lodge concept is beautiful, with a privileged view of Lake Manyara. I congratulate you, you really work as a team like suricatas!
Thank you for every detail, we leave with some incredible moments that we will never forget.

I went on a 5 day group safari with Suricata Safari’s. I selected the mid range lodge option. My guide Ezekiel and chef Jason were amazing! The game drives every day were varied across each day so you constantly see new scenery and animals. As a solo female I felt safe in the accommodation and with the staff. If you are trying to select a company for your safari, I highly recommend Suricata Safari’s!

For a first-time safari, their attention and caring to detail was impeccable. Our guide Ezekiel was not only knowledgeable but also passionate, making every moment an enriching experience. He was also very honest without giving to much expectations of what we could see during the rainy season. I thank him for that. The accommodations, specially inside the NPs were comfortable and very immersive, as we could see and hear buffalos, hienas and lions during the night. The food made by chef James was delicious and I'll definetely missed it. Finally, te sights were breathtaking and thank you for meeting your wishes. Hopefully, I will come back soon.

The tour was amazing since the beginning. Everything was super nice. The meals, accommodation, we were able to spot all the animals. It was fantastic to be honest, and I would repeat with Suricata for sure. They took care about the whole group all the time, very kind and professional people. Our guide Lewis and our chef Pius were the best! Kind regards for them. There’s no negative points in the trip. It was the perfect choice to do it with Suricata Safari.

We found Suricata Safari through a friend, contacted them easily through WhatsApp and they organized everything for us. Mister T picked us up from the airport with the biggest smile and the warmest welcome to Tanzania. He dropped us at our first accomodation and gave us a short brief of the following days. The next day our safari guide, Mandela picked us up. We cannot thank and recommend more Mandela, whose love and passion for his work made this safari an unforgettable experience for us! Everyday we had lunch prepared for us from Chef Tito. Everyday something different and delicious!! A big thank you to Daniel too for making sure everything went well!

I, amongst others in my group, was booked with Serengeti African Tours but as it is quiet I was added on to a safari with Suricata. This did mean my tour wasn't in the order it was supposed to be BUT I could not fault Suricata at all. The campsites were great location with good tents and hot showers every night. One even had a pool! The guides/drivers (Rocky and Lewes) were both so knowledgeable and their English was brilliant. They were good fun but professional too. We got to see all of the big 5 plus so much more thanks to our excellent drivers who spotted things from so far away. The food for lunch and dinner cooked by their chefs (mostly Tito) was delicious, so much of it and a good variety. I didn't really know what to expect as had never been on a safari but absolutely loved it more than I ever imagined! Asante sana all at Suricata!
