About
Our driver will meet you at your Arusha or Moshi hotel, as we travel travel west to the Great Rift Valley and the Lake Manyara National Park. We will travel through the agricultural market town of Mto Wa Mbu, which is situated next to the entrance of the Lake Manyara National Park. The town is a souvenir hunters paradise, harboring thousands souvenir salesmen – ready to pounce at your slightest invitation. While Manyara lacks the raw drama of other northern circuit destinations, its vegetation is diverse, ranging from savannah to marshes to evergreen forest (11 different ecosystems in all) and it supports one of the highest biomass densities of large mammals in the world. Elephants, hippos, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes and wildebeest are often spotted. Leopards and hyenas are also here. Lake Manyara is also home to a famous population of tree-climbing lions. Late in the afternoon we will depart from Lake Manyara and take you to your hotel, where our adventure ends.

          The main activity for visitor is day time game driving, although the park has recently started to offer night safaris and the camps deep inside the park offer abseiling and forest short walks on the escarpment outside the park. Staying in the Rift Valley outside the park however does open up a wealth of possibilities, with activities such as walking, Cultural tours, village trips, hiking and mountain biking available at some lodges in Mto wambu culture center.

          Great 5 day Safari + Kilimanjaro and cultural trip
          Sursee organised an amazing trip for me, my sister and our friends. They handled all the logistics which was not simple, part of the group went to climb the kilimanjaro while others went on a second safari/cultural trip. Our driver was not super talkative but was a great driver and we always felt safe. He was very open to changing departure times/arrival times based on what we wanted to do. The camps and hotels chosen by Sursee were all great, super clean and we really didn’t expect to eat so well :). Ally was always available on whatsapp and when some planes/trains called cancelled Ally helped us find alternatives so we didn’t lose any time. The price was also very reasonable especially considering the quality of the hotels, driver and overall sursee team.

          Amazing!!!
          We had a fantastic honeymoon safari and massive thanks to Sursee Safari for this. We thought we would have a great time but we had a once in a lifetime experience during the safari. There was very good and responsive communication from booking our safari package and all the way till the end of the safari. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which is super important on a safari as you spend all day together. We will definitely go on a safari again with Sursee. Thank you very much to Ramadhani and Uncle J :)

          Great experience with Sursee Safari
          Our safari was wonderful. They were so accommodating and customised our trip to exactly how we wanted. Uncle J was a great guide and driver. We had a lot of fun and seen the big 5, a lot of big cats and elephants.

          Wonderful experience
          We booked our 6 day safari through Sursee and we were not disappointed. We visited Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti. We had requested a walk and Rama organised it for us. We walked along the rim of the Crater and were accompanied by 5 giraffes for some of the walk. It was unique and amazing. The accommodation was all very pleasant, along with the meals. Our wonderful driver stopped as many times as we wanted on the safari, and made sure we saw a lot of different animals. We had a wonderful time.

          Awesome Safari
          We did a Safari with Sursee and it was amazing, we saw so many animals and our amazing driver stopped when ever we wanted to, which was a lot as we love to look at plants! Rama was so lovely and organised everything so well for us, our glamping at Serengeti was beautiful accommodation! Rama also went above and beyond to give us amazing service, and showed us around Arusha and took us to the best place for barbecue meat.

          Sursee safari- best for exceptional safari experience
          Most memorable safari trip ever. The trip was meticulously organised and the attention to detail was amazing. From airport pick till drop off on our last day every step was running so smoothly. We had the best guide -Jumma who was highly experienced and very knowledgeable. I personally would very recommend Sursee for you next adventure.

          The most memorable safari trip ever
          My 54 yr old son and 21 yr old granddaughter took this 78 yrs. Old on my dream trip to Africa They set up a 17 day private safari for me with a tour company called Sursee safari Tours after doing their three month research on settled on this company. They were the greatest. Made our tour so much fun and made sure we saw all the big five and more even the wilder beast crossing. Visiting the Busch people and tribes. Our accommodations were so nice the itinerary was set up just right. They made sure we saw and did everything that was possible to do. If you book with them. Just tell them what you would really like and see they well make sure you get it I’d like to thank all the people at the tour company and camp workers thank you for making my trip so memorable I just want to add the price we paid included our rooms and food. Not air Mrs Joelann Sygo.

          Beyond my highest expectations!!!
          My family, (mom 78 years old, daughter 21, and myself 54) traveled with Sursee Safari September of 2023, on a epic 17 day trip, I chose Sursee Safari because I wanted to book locally, I've found in the past I've been able to get a better price and far better service with this approach, my experience with Sursee was far beyond any expectations I could have had. I contacted Sursee and gave Ramadhan an idea of what I wanted and where I wanted to go, and that this was a trip for my 78 year old mom, who has always wanted to go on a Safari, and I wanted to make it happen for her while she was still able. He put together a itinerary and price, based off of type of lodging, we worked together and tweeked somethings and put together the perfect family Safari that fit our budget, and all the places we wanted to see, this was a custom pieced together Safari that took out zanzibar, and flew us down to zimbabwe and Botswana after Tanzania all while taking into consideration my mother's age. Ramadhan's father (Allie) was to be our guide and driver himself while we were in Tanzania now Allie is basically a famous Safari guide in Tanzania with a lifetime of experience and the respect of the other guides and other tour companies, he catered to my mother's abilities, tweeked our daily Safari's, and I was smart enough to realize what he was doing, and told him I trusted him completely, and because of that he was able to make sure we seen and experienced much more than we would've been able by staying on a strict schedule, In closing if you find yourself reading this, do yourself a favor and choose Sursee Safari you will be beyond satisfied!!!!

          7 day safari absolutely incredible!
          Wow, Sursee Safaris was exceptional for our 7 day safari. The owner, Ramadhan went above and beyond to organise the trip of a lifetime and his father Juma was our guide who spotted all the big five for us and the rare Great Migration! (Has 20+ years experience) my partner even proposed to me in the Serengeti and Ramadhan made sure we got the celebration of our dreams. Don’t be put off by the lack of reviews - I initially was but it really is a quality safari by a smaller company who treat you as individuals. Ramadhan even helped us with our trip after safari (time he didn’t need to offer) However I will not that the accomodations are their own run thing so the safari company can’t control their quality - I found the 4 star places offered better value than 5 stars like angata at times - particularly loved Sangaiwe camp and Kontiki.

          Amazing Safari!
          I loved every moment of my 3 day safari with Sursee. Sursee were incredibly professional throughout and even made my request to have a full immersive day with the Maasai a reality. Ally is an incredibly knowledgable guide. It was a pleasure to go on safari with Sursee
