Just perfect and everything we wished for
We just came from a 4 day safari trip with Suricata. Uau, so many impresions. Our guide Max was the best. He took us to see so many animals that I could not imagine before the trip. And so much information about the animals and everything. Soo impressed 👍👍👍 And the food...uau...shef Tito is the one to have. Delucios, every meal different and on a high level...just perfect. So if you are planning a safari in Tanzanija, Suricata is the one to choose. Will never forget it. Mira

An unforgettable experience! Cannot recommend highly enough
This 3 day safari was everything I expected and so much more. Everything from start to finish was arranged specifically for us including an overnight stay in Arusha, and a complementary drive back to Moshi afterwards. This meant we could relax throughout and simply feel at home with the incredible animals on Safari. We saw 4 of the big 5 (just missing the leopard) thanks to our incredible guide, Damian, who was eagle-eyed and always very happy to share his extensive knowledge about the amazing fauna in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. He was experienced and enthusiastic, and was always there for any queries at the camps as well. He spotted a rhino on our last day, and we saw lion cubs in the Serengeti, both of which are very rare sightings. It was such a privilege to be so close to these apex predators, and an elephant and lioness came so close to our her at some points that we could have touched them!
Both camps were beautiful, comfortable, and we felt very welcome. We were also fed superbly with freshly cooked hot meals by our chef, Saleem 3x a day. This was the best food I’ve had in Tanzania and even included our requested ugale!
The jeep was comfortable, equipped for everything on safari, and high up with an open top so that you could spot the animals very easily and from any seat. We could use Damian’s two pairs of binoculars. We had cold water at all times and places to charge our phones/digital cameras in the jeep.
I would highly recommend this company if you want to have a fun, animal-filled, and authentic Safari experience.
Top tips:
- Bring toilet paper for the seronera campsite in central Serengeti
- prepare o get dusty on the Serengeti plains (wear appropriate clothes and shoes)
- bring a warm jacket for the night in ngorongoro if you are going in their winter time

Amazing!
Had an amazing time! The tour guide Damian was brilliant, he managed to spot animals from seemingly impossible distances and was always enthusiastic and willing to crack jokes. He always got us in the best positions to see all the animals too and had lots of knowledge about each animal we saw. The food was amazing, much better than expected. A variety of food each meal meant we were never bored and looking at other tour groups eating the same food each meal made us happy we chose this company. The safari itself was incredible, a once in a lifetime experience. We chose camping, and felt fully immersed in the Serengeti which is truly unforgettable. I would absolutely choose this company again, I was worried that it would not be worth the money but it absolutely was.

Incredible - highly recommend
We chose the lodge option for the 4 day tour. Covered Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. Saw all the big 5 as well as more animals. The accommodation was a big surprise - two of them being deep in the national park conservation area. Thank you to the Suricata team !

Top notch
The experience as a whole was behind our expectations... All the natural parks and protected areas that we visited were absolutely amazing. Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater seem unreals, drown by the fantasy of a visionary artist.
Our guide, Mandela, was just top notch: professional, available, capable of answering any type of question about nature, animals, history and local culture.
We had the opportunity to spot all kind of animals: lions, cheetahs, elephants, a leopard, buffalos, hippos, birds of any shape and colours, gnus, jackals, etc etc...
We booked a mid range 5 days safari but all the accomodations were way above mid-range level. We spent 2 nights in the Suricata Boma lodge, an amazing place just in front of the waters of Manyara Lake. One of the best hotel where I stayed in my all life. The third night was in a luxury tended camp in the middle of Serengeti and the last night was in Tortilis camp, an unbelievable place in the middle of a pluvial forest on the slopes of Ngorongoro crater, surrounded by several Masai villages. Just magic.
Last but not least, the food was always delicious, both the lunches during the game driving and the dinners in the lodge and camps.
5 stars experience

A truly wonderful experience with an excellent safari company
We have just returned from a truly wonderful three days with Suricata safari visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Lewis was our experienced driver and an excellent guide. Thanks to his vast knowledge of the animals and their habitats, we saw a huge variety including the big five and got very close to lots of them! The chef, Tito, produced delicious hot lunches with plenty of variety. Both Lewis and Tito were extremely professional and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Suricata and would highly recommend them for an unforgettable experience 10/10.
