Day 2
Lake Manyara
After breakfast you will depart the lodge at 8:30am enroute to Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic hot lunch in hand. After a full-day game drive you will make your way to Suricata Boma Lodge for dinner and your overnight stay. Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa.” The compact game-viewing circuit through Lake Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.

Day 3
Lake manyara to serengeti
After breakfast you will make your way to Serengeti National Park for a full-day game drive (and picnic lunch). A million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill their instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life here. They participate in a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating, as well as a survival of the fittest as they plunge in 40km (25 mile) long columns through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north. After a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily, the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.

Hi everyone, My group of six friends and a nearly two-year-old baby and I went on a two-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Parks. We saw incredible landscapes and animals. Special thanks to Gordon, our driver, and Daniel for taking care of everything. If you want to go on safari, Suricats Safari is the place to go!!! (automatic translation from French)

We had an absolutely incredible 2-day safari in Tanzania! A huge thank you to Gordon, who was an exceptional guide: passionate, funny, attentive, and always smiling. He truly made this experience even more special with his explanations and energy. Thank you also to Daniel for the perfect organization of the trip and his kindness from beginning to end. Everything was very well prepared, and we felt in good hands throughout the entire journey. The meals were excellent, plentiful, and always very welcome after the safaris. Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater are simply magnificent, with breathtaking landscapes and incredible animals to observe. An unforgettable experience that we wholeheartedly recommend! 🦁🌍✨ (automatic translation from French)

Perfect, the guide went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of it.
The organization was perfect, from the transfers to the food, etc. Gordon and Daniel were very, very kind; they took the time to show and explain everything to us. We saw a huge number of animals over two days. (automatic translation from French)

Great value for money
Just came back from an amazing 3 day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park. Our guide Felix was very knowledgeable about both flora and fauna within the parks. He answered all our questions and also told us many interesting stories throughout the day and during our meal breaks. He was accompanied by Jeremiah, our group's cook. The food was always delicious and plenty. I did not expect such a good quality given the simple infrastructure that they are working with. Highly recommend this safari.
