Best experience I have been through!
Wow! This experience I had the last 4 days with suricate safari has blown my mind! I felt so spoiled and lucky with the guide, chef and the group of people me and my friend ended up with! We chose a group safari with accommodation at the campsite, in which we ended up sleeping in tents in different parts of the parks we visited. This was the cheapest option compared to the housing in lodges which is more luxuries. However, as a first time camper, it was the best decision I made! Even if I was kinda scared sleeping in tents in the safari, my guide Silas and chef Tito were literally the best people I could have ended up with that were so assuring and fun to be around. Me and my friend who I came with, literally had the best time feeling SO spoiled by everybody.
Silas made my safari experience so memorable, and Tito “entertained” and fed us the best food ever for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day!
The only less good thing I can say about this experience is the miss communication that occurred with the transfer from and to the airport, which led to a lot of delay for the pickup. However, we were really grateful for Hilary that was incredibly fast at responding and resolving any issues we had.
If you plan to do a safari trip, I really recommend Suricata Safari and that you chose the camping accommodation. I think you will get the most out of your trip that way. (Also, if it’s possible, ask for Tito and Silas, that way you’ll 100% experience a great safari).
Thanks for everything!! ~ the watoto

An incredible experience, with great service, great people, and great sights.
When I first read the reviews for Suricata I didn’t think they could be true - over 1,000 5-star reviews just seemed impossible. After spending 5 days on safari which took us through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara, and seeing all of the big 5 as well as cheetah and lion cubs and a baby rhino, I understand. Our driver, Rocky, was amazing, funny, talkative and extremely knowledgeable, giving in-depth facts about Tanzania, the animals, and the parks, as well as answering every single question I had. The accommodation was also excellent, with every hotel or tent having a private bathroom and a large bed. The food prepared for us was great and the flexibility offered by Suricata was great (for example, my flight was early in the morning after the final day of safari, so Suricata booked a hotel room and a driver for no additional cost. The 5-day tour provides great value for money, and I especially recommend staying at the Boma lodge, the brand new hotel built by Suricata that rivals some of the best hotels I have stayed at with its private bungalows and great food. Overall, this has been an amazing experience and I highly recommend Suricata to anyone thinking of doing a safari.

Excellent service and value for money
We just completed a 5-day mid range group safari tour of 4 national parks in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara) with Suricata Safaris. The experience was amazing, more than we had dared to hope for!
Even before booking this tour the communication with Hilary was easy, and we were taken very good care of by our excellent guide Silas, chef Tito, Mr T who picked us up from the airport and Daniel who took us on a walking tour of Arusha the day we arrived.
Guide Silas was very friendly and shared us his extensive knowledge of the national parks flora and fauna. He rose to the challenge of showing us all Big 5 animals, and much more!
The accommodation at Serengeti and Ngorongoro Ang'ata tented lodges was excellent, we highly recommend! At night you could hear the animals and you really felt like on a safari, even though we didn't go camping. Accommodation at Suricata's own brand new Boma Lodge by Lake Manyara was luxurious. The huts, the pool, the restaurant and the bars were excellent, with a lot of attention paid to detail.
Thank You very much Suricata Safaris and our fantastic group for the experience of a lifetime!

Unforgettably superb experience from Suricata Safaris
I joined a 5-day group safari tour of four national parks (Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangiri) with Suricata Safaris. The experience has been incredible. The guide Silas is highly experienced, and helped our group see all the major animal species each several times (including two rhino sightings!). Chef Tito cooked for us excellent Tanzanian lunches. The accommodations were superb, both at the tented 'Angata" lodges in Serengeti and Ngorogoro, and Suricata's own Boma Lodge at Lake Manyara. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the folks at Ngorogoro Angata Lodge had warmed up the bed with a hot water bottle while I was at dinner. Folks heard and saw hippos and buffalo going right up to their tents, but without danger (I missed these because I slept too soundly!). I highly recommend Suricata Safaris!

Best budget safari
I booked my safari 3 days prior and I can't be happier. The efficiency answering the emails, WhatsApps was what gave me the good feeling to book with them. It's a really good price for the service you receive.
We enjoy the 5 day safari with Mandella and the wildness in its best.
The hotels and lodges in the national parks and in Arusha were really good specially the new lodge SURICATA BOMA which has the best sunset views by the pool.
Amazing prices, food and company.
100% recommended

Amazing Safari with Suricata!
What an unbelievable experience we had with Suricata safari!! Special thanks to our tour guide Mandella who made our experience very special with his dedication and knowledge of the Tanzanian wildlife.
The food was delicious and prepared for us on a daily basis opposite to what we saw in other tours that they were having lunch boxes with sandwiches.
I would fully recommend to book your safari with the for the quality of the service and the options to adapt to your needs that they provide. It is a small company compared to the huge tour operators and they are growing thanks to doing things the right way. 5 stars for them!
