Great guy
We took the 2 day safari to Ngoro Ngoro crater and Tarangire National Park. The views were amazing, we saw a lot of animals in their natural habitat which was a great experience. Our guide Rocky was really on top with his service, he knew a lot and was genuinely a nice guy. The accommodation was pretty nice, people there were helpful and the food that they prepared was delicious! Definitely recommend that one.

Travel with Suricato Safari - dreams come true!
The safari tour was in mid-November, with all the variability of the weather at this time, we were lucky - everything went without rain during the daytime. Upon arrival at the airport, we were arranged a transfer to the hotel in Arusha, the hotel is good. Daniel gave instructions, explained everything in an accessible way about the future event and movements. Early in the morning we were picked up from the hotel and taken to the Suricata Safaris base, where we got into a jeep, joining four more tourists. On the first day we went to Ngorongoro Conservation, along the way there were countless herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles, and giraffes also came across. Before entering the park, there was an area where animals were directly adjacent to the local population, after the border of the park there were only wild animals in their natural habitat. After stopping for lunch at the Ngorongoro campsite, we continued on our way to Serengeti Park, where we spent the night camping in a tent (so we chose when ordering the tour), a tent for two, spacious enough, but at this time of the year it's cool enough at night, you need to take warm clothes, although sleeping bags are provided. At the campsite we were fed a delicious dinner (salad, soup, meat, dessert and wine) all this time we were fed by Salim, for which a special big thank you to him - there were no stomach disorders! Early the next morning we went to explore Serengeti Park, where we saw all the most interesting things - we were very lucky with animals very close to the car - lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, etc. The photo shoot turned out great. Cheetah and leopard could not be seen up close, but they witnessed the confrontation of Lions and leopard (photo attached). Flora is a real savanna, very beautiful, I used to see this only in pictures and in Animal Planet. The next night we spent at the Ngorongoro campsite, after which we went to the Ngorongoro crater, formed as a result of a volcano about 2.5 million years ago. They closed the big African five there after seeing rhinos, though also from afar (take good optics - photos and binoculars, you won't regret it). We also saw a large number of birds - flamingos, secretary birds, pelicans and many others, otherwise the fauna repeats with Serengeti - lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, herds of artiodactyls. And of course the views are breathtaking. After that, we were taken to a Masai village, where we were shown the customs and way of life of the local tribe. We finished the journey at the hotel, where we were also taken. I want to express my great gratitude to the organizers of the tour, as well as to our driver Demian. I recommend you to visit!

Very professional organization that puts customer satisfaction first.
This safari was absolutely unforgettable. The ngorongoro crater was mind blowing! We got to meet the Maasai tribe and they showed us around their village. There are so many animals in the crater, and to see them all together in their natural habitat was a dream come true. You name it, we saw it there…zebras, lions, flamingos, wildebeests, warthogs, hippos, endless bird species, and more! In Tarangire we saw lions, giraffes, zebras, and so many elephants. Our guide, Matcha, was extremely good at spotting animals and very knowledgable. He was also a good time and great person, he made it fun. I would highly recommend this company for safaris and will come back again to do more of them myself. They make sure you are enjoying yourself and the safari. One of the staff members, Daniel, was always checking in with me and making sure I was happy with everything each step of the way, and made my trip that much better! This company cares and makes sure you have the best experience you can have. Highly recommend them and this safari! Can’t wait to come back and do another safari with them!

Suricata has exceeded my expectations
We did the 5 day tour and it was an absolutely great experience. From the beginning to the end, everything was perfectly organized, the pick up at the airport, the accommodations, meals and also the comfort during the safari. I would definitely book my safari with Suricata again. Our guide Lewis was an absolute highlight on this trip. He knew everything about the nature and the animals and could answer every question. I would do a safari with him again straight away. It was an incredible time! Thanks to all the people involved!

Best Safari Choice
We did the 5-day safari and had Lewis as a driver. We couldn’t have wished for more. From the booking process to the drive, the lodges and the food, everything was absolutely amazing. With Lewis, most certainly we had the best guide and we would book our trip with suricata again immediately.

Perfect safari
Safari with Suricata company was perfect. They took care of us during the whole trip from the airport pickup to our next hotel after safari.
We picked 4-days camping safari (Tarangire, Serengeti a Ngorongoro). We did not expect to se so many animal species in such numbers.
We even saw full big 5.
Tents in camps were pepared in advance with matrasses, pillows and sleeping bags. Two camps were directly in a beautiful nature, but you have to be careful about wild animals around the camp and be prepared for tons of beatles in washrooms. In Ngorongoro camp we saw zebras and giraffes. Each camp was equipped with toilets and showers with hot water. But toilet paper was not everywhere.
We had full board with delicious food and water was also povided. There was no problem to adjust menu according to any dietary requests.
Our guide, Ezekiel, was amazing. He could spot animals hiding around and even rhino from 400m distance. It is obvious he has plenty of experience and knowledge about animal habitat and behaviour.

An unforgettable experience
We agreed on everything via internet, there were no issues. We chose 4 day camping safari. They picked us up in an airport and accommodated us in Arusha city center. All organization was with no troubles, Ezekiel was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. The tents were already built upon our arrival and there was a smiling chef waiting for us. We've seen a great many animals in wonderful landscapes. We felt Betty safe for the whole time. It was an unforgettable experience and we enjoyed every minute of it. Do not forget your binoculars!

Competent and funny, highly recommend
We had a great time during our Safari! The Serengeti ist breathtaking, the landscape as well as the animals. Our guide provides us with exiting and funny facts about the animals and sleeping in a tent next to lions is a real adventure - even though you always feel safe. Its totally worth it!
