An amazing safari experience organised by a great team
We went on a 5 day safari with Suricata starting in Arusha. Before we started the safari they picked us up from Arusha airport and brought us to our hotel where we were given a briefing by Dennis that explained everything we needed to know for the next days. As we had some time to kill in Arusha they also organised a small tour of the city for us with a great guide called Chuke.
The next day we started our safari for five days. The first day was spent with Rocky as our guide, the next four with Elias. Both were warm, informative and great to have as guides. The lodges we stayed in were beautiful, and the food was delicious, as were the lunches had on safari cooked by our chef from Suricata, Pius. We ended our safari with a debrief with Daniel in Arusha who also arranged a complimentary transfer to our next hotel. Overall nothing was lacking in the adventure. The communication was excellent and we felt fully cared for the entire time. I would really highly recommend this company to anyone looking at doing a safari in Tanzania.

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, excellent - really taking care of their guests!
We went on a group safari with suricata and truly everything was amazing! From the first pick up and briefing by Dennis to the last debrief and hotel dropoff by Daniel, everyone was super friendly and helpful. We really felt taken care of, and had great drivers and guides in Rocky and Elias who really made sure we saw the animals up close and raced to get us to the right spots. The group was great and it was fun to experience it together. Food was fantastic throughout the whole trip as well thanks to Chef Pius, and the lodges were extraordinary. And finally of course, all the parks and animals were incredible - despite it being the onset of low season we saw everything we wished for and more. Got nothing negative to say - amazing trip.

Excellent
Very good and interesting experience with Suricata Safaris. Family of 6, we spent wonderful time, 3 days safari tour. Great accommodations in Serengeti and Ngorongoro camps.
Congratulations especially to Mandela, Mr T, Jackson and all the team of Suricata.
Thank you all!

Beyond expectations. Fantastic experience!
I did a 4 day mid range safari tour. From the moment I arrived at the airport I was taken care of by Mr T. Hotels before and after were included as well as the transfer. The tour itself was amazing. The guide Ezekiel was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible, despite the fact that this wasn't the optimal time of year. We saw more animals than I could've hoped for. Plenty of lions. A heard of elephants passed right next to the jeep on two occasions. The food at the camps was very good and there was a hot shower available. When I returned to Arusha Daniel also gave me some great recommendations. I'd highly recommend Suricata.

100% recommend the 3-day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
The 3-day safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was amazing! Our local guide Max was very nice and professional, with great knowledge of the animals and how to find them (we saw the Big five!). We had two long game drives in Serengeti and one in the crater, which was beautiful and enough to enjoy all the wildlife. Suricata Safari took care of the accomodation (campsite) and all the meals (the chef Tito cooked the best local food we tried during our stay in Tanzania). We 100% recommend

Fantastic!
Fantastic trip!! Elias was our guide and he was phenomenal, we saw about every animal you can see and more! Lunches were delicious and home cooked, accommodations were lovely and I felt safe the whole time. As a solo female traveler I was a little nervous before I joined the tour but felt safe the whole time and our group had a great vibe! Would definitely book again!

Mixed experience but kept asking for 5 star review
We had a mixed experience on our 4 day safari. Our first three days were very good, but our final day they changed our group and car which led to a lot of sitting on side of road or on curb waiting. We were never communicated with about what was happening. If you have the same group/guide I say you'll have a better experience but we were not told till 10pm before our 6am tour start that we were to have two different groups. We found the communication poor - at the end when they meet you they kept pushing for us to give 5 star review rather than listening to our experience and feedback. The food on the tour was excellent and our jeep was very good.

Good safari, but poor camping equipment and forced to leave 5 star review
Good safari, knowledgeable guides. Overall decent experience. 3 different parks, 3 nights in tents and 4 days of safari.
But - camping and sleeping gear was old and smelt mouldy. It was not hygienic.
Also at the end of the trip we were left with sour taste in our mouths as the company essentially held us in a location until we submitted a 5 star review.
So please take any 5 star reviews with a grain of salt.
It’s a good safari for the cost, but be prepared for some mouldy camping gear

We had a breathtaking Safari with our awesome guide Mandela, who answered all our questions and showed us all the beautiful animals including the big five! Very good organisation, delicious food from our chef Salim! So many outstanding memories, we totally recommend it!
