5 Day Great Safari - Surreal Experience!
We booked a 5-day group Great Safari which was an incredible experience! We saw the big 5 animals in 1 day. Our itinerary included Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Our guide, Melita, has in depth knowledge of all the animals, parks, and the Maasai people. He navigated the drive really well. I am so glad he was our guide!! My only feedback is for improved communication with the briefer. Our itinerary was changed and we weren’t informed until the night prior. I also had difficulty reaching our briefer after the Safari to arrange transfers but all was arranged appropriately in the end. The tour was all inclusive with transfers, food, water, and lodging. All of the lodging were very beautiful, accommodated different dietary restrictions, and were in scenic places in the parks. The exception is the SG resort in Arusha which unfortunately had outdated and unclean rooms for one of our nights. Overall, I recommend this operator for your journey!

It was majestic one in a life time journey into the wild
The experience was majestic. It was a one in a life time experience. The communication was easy and our guide was very responsive. The cooks, guides and organizors and everyone took great care of us. The tent was clean, lots of washroom break, food was great. Elius, our guide, was very knowledgeable. He ensured that we get the best view of the safari and the wild life. He provided lots of details on the animal which was fascinating. The tour definitely worth the money we paid, in fact, the experiences were priceless. I would recommended this tour and guide to anyone.

The tour was exceptional and well organized.
This was my first safari experience with my husband and a couple of friends. The experience was phenomenal. I would say it was beyond my expectations thanks to the organizers. It was an all inclusive service which includes a hotel pick up/drop-off, water and meals, and stays (camps). We got a debrief about the tour the night before where you can ask all the questions. This helps us prepare ourselves. The activity is packed everyday. We got Elias as a driver and we had a blast in during the game drive. It was a long drive everyday, so be prepared! :)

An incredible safari experience that I will dream of for years to come.
Really could not of wished for a better time, just incredible!
We saw so many amazing animals!
5 Rinos!!
Felix our guide was brilliant, friendly knowledgeable and fun, it was really interesting talking to him about the Maasai tribe. Rachel has been on two other safaris in Tanzania and said that he was the best yet and will definitely rebook with him!
Food was delicious, Jeremiah cooked a variety of flavour filled swahili dishes and the whole group really enjoyed.
Camping amongst nature and hearing the sounds of animals while you drift to sleep was a real experience.
Amazing value for money I would highly recommend Felix and the Suracata Safari team for your safari experience
Asante sana

Big Five, Bush Nights & Balloon Rides – Our Dream Safari
Our safari with Frederik was nothing short of extraordinary. Right from the beginning, he showed incredible dedication to making this journey unforgettable. He made sure we had the best possible experience at every turn — patiently stopping at animal sightings, getting us impressively close while always being respectful of the animals and their space. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, the landscape, and their behaviors during the drives was truly impressive. It’s obvious that he loves what he does, and that enthusiasm was contagious.
Every part of the trip was perfectly organized — from the smooth daily schedule to the seamless logistics. The accommodations were top-tier, a true 10/10, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged, including a spectacular hot air balloon flight that left us speechless. The meals were also consistently delicious.
Highlights for me included our peaceful lunch breaks surrounded by giraffes and elephants, spotting countless animals (yes, including the Big Five!), and spending the night in luxury tents right in the heart of the bush. It was glamping at its finest — falling asleep to the sounds of the wild was pure magic.
Overall, this trip wasn’t just amazing — it was off-the-charts, a solid 12 out of 10.
I’ll absolutely return for another safari with Frederik and will be recommending him to anyone dreaming of a true African adventure.

Extremely professional, ensuring an outstanding experience.
We went on the mid-range 4 day group Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our 4 Day Safari was everything that we hoped for when we booked it. Frederick, our guide, was the absolute best! Not only is he a great driver and knows how to position the car for great photos, but he is incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the environment and the history of the area. This meant that we learned a lot on our Safari and that helped to make it such a memorable experience. I highly recommend requesting Frederick when you book your Safari, you will not be disappointed and we would love him to guide us again! The camps we stayed at were fantastic - you feel immersed in the wild, but also safe and comfortable. Suricata lodge is outstanding and was the perfect place to spend our last night. Everything ran smoothly, including the airport transfers eventhough our flight was delayed. We would absolutely use Suricata again, and don’t forget to ask for Frederick!
