He created an unforgettable trip for us
We are absolutely enthusiastic about the safari and can recommend it 100%.
We looked at different safaris in our hostel and finally went for this 2 day tour to the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
On the first day we were picked up at the hostel in the morning and drove directly to a mall near Arusha Airport. There we could use the time and buy a few more snacks and drinks until our fellow soldiers joined us.
Thereafter, we went on a direct route to the
Tarangire National Park. The drive took about 2 hours. At Maingate we could directly meet the first monkeys and again briefly visit the toilet before we went to the beautiful National Park. This one was simply insane and clearly showed why one should definitely make a safari in Tanzania! We saw elephants, giraffes, lions (not 2 meters away from our car) and monkeys pretty much everything that the Tanzanian wildlife gives. For lunch we went to one of the campsites where there was very tasty food (rice, meat, fried vegetables). After this refreshment we continued our safari and besides many smaller highlights we saw some very large herds of elephants and zebras.
The first day finally ended in a very well maintained lodge with great dinner, music and acrobatics program.
The next morning, after a rich breakfast, we went straight to Nborongoro Crater. There we were also received at the Maingate by very interested baboons (windows and doors better to keep closed ;) ) and we were able to continue directly to the crater. Arrived there we immediately saw the first lions, which stayed right on the road. During the safari we were able to observe several times larger groups of lions (partly also witnessing lion cubs). There were also countless zebras and wildebeest here. The highlight here was definitely the hippopotamus pool with about 15 animals. Also here there was very tasty lunch, similar to the one the day before. After we left the crater in the afternoon we went straight back to Arusha.
Finally only a huge praise remains to our guide Joseph who did a great job and was able to give us some unforgettable memories.

Great experience and very surprised
We went to the safari for 4 days tour and it was a huge experience - we had the chance to see all the animals - very lucky about it !
We were with Freddie and rocky as guide and Prius was our chef ! Amazing and tasty food!
They have very good eyes and they have answered to all our questions !
The day after the safari we went to Materuni waterfalls and hot spring with Twalbu.
We booked the trip in last minute and we enjoyed it all day long.
- he picked us up in the hotel and we started our day. We went to the waterfalls hiking in the rain but it was so beautiful to see !
After we tasted the coffee with the history of the origin.
We had a lunch nearby and it was so delicious ! We enjoyed it thanks to the Mama !
We finished the day in the hot spring - it was good to swim in the nature ! I advise you to book it !

An amazing experience
We went for a four days camping safari and it was an amazing experience. We had wonderful guides, Frederick and Rocky but also an amazing chef. They were willing to share knowledge but also personnal experience. The mood was great and the cooking very delicious. Enough variety for vegetarian as well. We loved it so much that we took a fifth day with Suricata to go to Moshi for waterfall, coffee and hot springs tour ! Feel at ease to book with them with your eyes closed and just follow the rythm !

Outstanding experience
There are 2000 safari tour operators. I have experience only with Suricata. Communication with the office was easy and prompt via Whatsap. The descriptions were accurate. The tour was made outstanding by the tour guide, Freddy. He has an amazing knowledge of plants and animals in great detail which he shares with enthusiasm. He has a wonderful sense of humor. The food was excellent. The lodging (we stayed at the medium price level) was excellent and the stay in the Suricata Boma lodge was jaw dropping stunning. All of the staff lived the culture of "Welcome" and made us feel part of a family. There were a few glitches with the front office, but the company responded rapidly and handled the problems with grace, which to me is a mark of honesty and excellence. I highly recommend tours with this company.

Professional, friendly and unique experience! 10/10! Totalg reccomend
Me and my boyfriend booked a 5 day camping safari with Suricata and totally loved it!
The safari was better then we could have imagined, totally worth the money.
Our guide Ezekiel was really informative, he made sure we would see everything we wanted to see and more! He took good care of us and made us feel really comfortable every moment of the day.
The food of chef Salim was soooo delicious. The mix of african flavours with some western foods. All breakfasts, lunches and dinners were made with such care and love. We especially loved the lunches that we ate during the day on safari in nature… unforgetable experience!
Everything is so well organised in Suricata. The first contact person- Halimaat informed us about our options in detail and was really helpful. She also helped me resolve a small problem with transportation that occurred for us before the travel (unrelated to the safari itself) and I am so grateful for that. Daniel - the person doing the briefing was also really helpful, available if we had any questions and made sure we are taken care of.
We highly recommend Suricata and the camping option - once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget!

The Safari was on my bucket list and it was better than I imagined
We had the most amazing time and Frederick our guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure. He explained so many things to us from Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. We saw so many animals, he knew all the right spots to take us to and he could spot animals from very far away. We had overnight accommodations in fancy tents with showers and toilets and wonderful dinners. I would highly recommend Suricata if you are looking to go on a Safari. This clearly was a bucket list for me!

Amazing 5 day experience with Suricata!
With my partner we had an amazing experience with Suricata. We did 5 days. From the first moment, we were impressed by their exceptional service, delicious food and impeccable punctuality.
Ezekiel, our guide, was a genius, his passion and knowledge of wildlife left us in awe every step of the way. They met all our expectations and more.
In addition, we are grateful for the assistance they gave us in obtaining the visa to enter Tanzania, which made our trip even more hassle free. Thank you Halimaat for being so attentive and helpful!
We highly recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure with great service.
Thank you Ezekiel, Halimaat, Daniel, Musa, Mandela and all your team!

The best experience and the best service
Great safari, great food and great service!! Since our arrival at 7.00 am, Daniel was a perfect host, he took us to the hotel and he explained everything about the journey to us. We have our 1st day free, and Daniel offer to us a tour with Suale, so he took us to Arusha town to visit some markets, the Art Gallery, the Clock tower, also we ate in a local restaurant. The next day we started the safari with Louis (the guide) and James (the chef). The game driving was amazing we could spot a lot of animals like lions, leopard, cheetahs, zebras, hippos, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, rhino, etc… all the views were amazing!
Also, all the meals were delicious and the service of all of them was perfect! We really enjoyed our safari!!
