Lifetime experience
We felt very overwhelmed when we were trying to pick our safari. But with suricata safari there was very easy communication, nicely written down where you go and what you are going to do. It was very well organised, our tour guide Gordon was the best we have had so far. Very enthusiastic and all in. They use walkie talkies to let know each other know where the animals are. We were very lucky to see all of the big 5.
We choose the option of sleeping in tents, a very great experience that makes you really feel the safari vibes. During the night you can hear animals around you, but it is safe.
They cook for you every day, very very tasty.
It was an amazing experience.
Make a note it is very dusty so you will get dirty a lot. For your comfort bring your own toilet paper and binoculars.
Definitely dress up warmly, some trousers and jackets as it can get cold and you will be getting up early at the morning to catch the sunrise.
We had a very good time and are happy we chose this company as many locals recognised it as one of the best in town.
Only thing we regret was that we didn't book 5 days only 4.
Thank YOU Suricata Safari ☺
P. S. Gordon was the best

Incredible safari experience
We had a 5 day safari with Suricata - and ist was an incredible experience.
They picked us up from the airport and gave us a briefing in the hotel we arrived in.
Our tour guide was Freddy, who was just amazing. He was always on the lookout and was full of knowledge.
All the accommodations were perfects, especially the Suricata Boma Lodge. The cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day were delicious and exceeded my expectations.
Thanks also to Daniel's welcome who came to us before the safari to explain everything.
I highly recommend Suricata.

unbelievably good
My boyfriend and I went on a safari with Suricata Safari and it was unbelievably good. Everything was perfect. We always felt very safe and comfortable. Everything that was planned with Hilary happened exactly as planned. We were accompanied by the Suricata Safari from our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport to our departure to Zanzibar from Arusha Airport. Everything was very well organized.
During the safari, we gained weight and don’t have any gastrointestinal problem. I can say we eat better than at home. There were confort food in abundance for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Mussa was a great cook and travel companion. The jeep was super comfortable, and Louis, our driver, always had a smooth and safe drive. He also was a great travel companion. Throughout the safari, he explained various things about the animals and vegetation of the parks and was always available for our questions. Whenever we wanted to stop to take photos or simply enjoy the view, our request was always accommodated.
In summary, the Suricata staff is excellent, and the organization is incredible. The safari was amazing. Thanks Suricata.

Good
I went on a 5-day safari. There were not many animals in Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeki, Ngorungoro, Gungirasa, and Sirengeti, but it was good.
A peaceful grassland that is less dangerous than you think!! Recommended for Ngorongoro!! Surikata Boma Lodge was very nice~!!
Tanzanian people are friendly. The guide knows a lot about animals, Thanks Ezekiel, thankyou Daniel for the last meeting.

The best Guide i could have found and The best cook.
I recently had the privilege of embarking on a safari adventure that exceeded all expectations. This exceptional journey took place in the heart of Africa, where the raw beauty of nature unfolded before my eyes.
From the moment I stepped into the open-air safari vehicle, I was captivated by the stunning landscapes that stretched as far as the eye could see. The vast savannahs, lush forests, and majestic mountains provided the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary adventure.
What truly set this safari apart was the expertise of our guides and cook. Their knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems was truly remarkable. They effortlessly spotted elusive animals like lions, leopards, and cheetahs camouflaged within the tall grass. Their passion for conservation and commitment to responsible tourism was evident in every aspect of the journey.
The highlight of the safari was undoubtedly the close encounters with Africa’s iconic wildlife. Watching a herd of elephants gracefully crossing a river, witnessing a lioness and her cubs resting in the shade, and observing a group of giraffes grazing in the distance were moments that will forever be etched in my memory.
Tented camps provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature and waking up to breathtaking sunrises over the savannah created a sense of serenity that is hard to find elsewhere.
The safari also offered unique cultural experiences, allowing us to connect with local communities and learn about their traditions and way of life.
In conclusion, this safari was an extraordinary adventure that combined the wonders of nature, exceptional guiding, and responsible tourism practices. It was an experience that not only exceeded my expectations but also left me with a profound appreciation for the beauty and fragility of our planet’s wildlife and ecosystems. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend embarking on a Safari with Suricata Safari

Just brilliant.
Just brilliant. From pick-up/drop-off, to the itinerary, going to three different National Parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire), and just the overall service, so good, would definitely go through Suricata again. In particular the service provided to accommodate our particular transport needs after the safari was excellent. Fantastic value for money.
Lewis and Ezekiel made the whole trip very enjoyable, with a good amount of time spent in the parks, and excellent knowledge of what we were seeing and able to answer all of our questions, really made the trip. The food throughout was exceptional, Tito is a great cook and we looked forward to every meal.

Very kind and eager to provide the best experience for their guests
My sister and I had a great 5 day safari trip with Suricata! The team was so kind before our trip and took a lot of time to answer all our questions. It was very well organized - from the airport pick-ups until each safari day. Our guide was also amazing! He had a good eye for the animals and was eager to make our experience unforgettable. We even had a surprise that we could stay at the Suricata Boma Lodge which is a beautiful new lodge. But all other lodges were great too! Very well picked by Suricata. Overall, we would highly recommend Suricata
