Amazing safari
We just completed a 4 day/3 night camping safari to the Serengeti, Ngorogonoro crater and Tarangire national park and it was amazing. All of the campsites had good facilities (flushing toilets and some even had hot showers).
Our driver Lewis had phenomenal eyesight and was able to spot animals from a long way off, leading to us being able to see leopards, cheetahs and lots of lions. He also had incredible knowledge of all the large animals, but also of the smaller birds and reptiles found in the parks.
Our Chef James also provided the best meals out of any of the tour companies that we saw and the variety was superb. He was accomodating to any dietary requirements and food preferences which made the trip even better.
The safari starts and finishes with a pre-/ debrief which was done by Daniel who explained everything really well and got us excited for the next 4 days. At the end of the safari, Daniel also listened to our opinions and welcomed any feedback which could help the company improve.
I have already recommended this company to friends, and when we finally return to Tanzania, will absolutely be booking through Suricata Safaris again.
An amazing, well run experience!
Even for a "budget" tour, everything was well organized and high value. The tents were already set up at each camp site with comfortable sleeping pads and tasty, fresh, and homemade food was served for every meal. You will see even more animals than what you hope for and be struck by the natural beauty on this unforgettable experience!

Good organization
Well organized and reliable pickup, drop off and the overall timetable. The guide was very knowledgeable about the place as well as animals that we saw. He communicated during the tour with colleagues in order to take us to places where there was something to see at that time.
We chose the tented lodges to avoid sleeping in a tent and I’m glad we did so. The lodges were as luxurious as can be for the middle of wilderness, at all places people were very friendly and trained and you did feel safe.
The company also organized a balloon flight for us over Serengeti which I think was worth the money. Again, the guide was very experienced and made the experience worthwhile.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience!
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a truly exceptional safari in Tanzania with Surifcata Safari, exploring the Serengeti and Ngorongoro regions. From start to finish, the trip exceeded all expectations, thanks in large part to our outstanding guide, Mandela.
Surifcata Safari's meticulous organization ensured a seamless and comfortable journey. The attention to detail was evident from the moment we landed, with their knowledgeable and friendly staff ready to assist.
Mandela, our tour guide, was the highlight of the experience. His passion for the wildlife and deep knowledge of the ecosystems added immeasurable value to the safari. Mandela's ability to spot and identify animals from a distance was nothing short of remarkable. He shared fascinating insights about the behaviors and habitats of the diverse wildlife we encountered, turning each game drive into an educational adventure.
Mandela's enthusiasm was infectious, creating an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the journey. His storytelling skills brought the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area to life, giving us a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of the flora and fauna in this unique ecosystem. Mandela's commitment to conservation and preserving the natural beauty of Tanzania was truly inspiring.
The safari itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti was awe-inspiring, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras moved across the plains in a majestic display of nature's grandeur. The Ngorongoro Crater, with its diverse range of wildlife, provided a different but equally mesmerizing perspective on the wonders of Tanzania.
Surifcata Safari's choice of locations and timing ensured that we maximized our opportunities to see the incredible array of animals that call these regions home. The vehicles provided were comfortable and well-equipped, allowing us to traverse the varying terrains with ease.
The camp setups in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro were a perfect balance of comfort and immersion in nature. The staff at the camps were attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the overall experience.
In conclusion, Surifcata Safari orchestrated a safari that surpassed all expectations. The combination of excellent organization, breathtaking landscapes, and the expertise of our guide made this journey unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Surifcata Safari to anyone seeking a top-tier safari experience in Tanzania, and I am grateful to Mandela for sharing his passion and knowledge, making this adventure truly extraordinary.

Unforgettable experience! I want to spend more time there! I really recommend it!
Tour in Safari was really great! We enjoyed every moment there. First man named Daniel gave us important informations about our trip said to us how it will looks like.
First two days wasn’t good weather so we didn’t see lot of animals. But also these two days were really good. Best experience for me was Serengeti And Crater Ngorongoro. Also sleeping in the middle of national park is such a good experience!
Our guid Mandela was so nice to us and he was telling us many interesting details about all animals. Also foods were delicious. We tried also typical African foods and it was nice for us. We had always as much food as We wanted And the chef Salim was always nice to us and He’s really good chef!
I have to recommend this company and this 5-days Safari!

A perfect experience that cannot be matched by anything else.
By doing this Safari, I fulfilled my big dream and it was absolutely perfect, all the NPs, the Ngorongnoro Crater, every place is different and every different beautiful. We had a lot of animals within reach, beautiful nature and we saw the "big 5 animals". Our bagpiper Mandela was a wonderful guide and companion, sleeping in tents had its great charm - in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, you spend the night close to wild animals and hear their voices. The food was always very good and you will definitely not go hungry. I wholeheartedly recommend Suricati and Mandela bagpipes, and once again thank you very much for the experiences I will never forget. I love Tanzania.

Amazing safari
The safari has been wonderful. The airport pick up with Daniel was amazing, we drove all the way to Arusha singing along to Tanzanian songs. Our guide Freddy was great, attentive, answering all our questions and a very good driver. The food of 10, delicious, local and homemade. We saw the Big 5 and many more animals, in short, everything was fantastic. I would repeat with Suricata Safaris. Healthy Assante.

Unforgetable experience
Jambo jambo!! It has been an unforgettable experience! We have been able to see the Big 5 without any difficulty thanks to our driver Freddy. He explained in English everything we saw and curiosities about the animals' lives and he also answered all our questions. The meals during the safari were delicious and abundant, all local and homemade food prepared by themselves. The accommodation is also great, sleeping in the campsites is a highly recommended experience. We didn't change anything about our safari. Asante Suricata!
