Knowledgeable and well-organised
We had an excellent time with Suricata. Frederick, our guide, was very generous with his time and knowledge. The various parks we went through (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater) all had different landscapes and attractions including a huge range of wildlife so it felt like the 5 days were used really well.
Accommodations were also of very high quality. We booked a mid-range package and were impressed by the quality of the rooms, food, etc.

Well organized
We were very lucky and saw the Big Five with our guide Louis!!! He was friendly and answered every question. He also had a great sense of our wants and needs.
The food was outstanding and we can recommend Suricata. The nights in the tent are sometimes very cold.

Best Safari of Tanzania
Amazing trip with Suricata Safari. After pick up from the airport, we started our travel in Tanzania with a city tour of Arusha with two fantastic guides, Swaleh and John who brought us all around the city and to the Masai market ane Spice market.
On the second day, after being picked up from our hotel, we joined the other 4 people of our jeep (which can keep 6 people in total) and we started the safari with the Serengeti park with the amazing guide/driver Elis and the best cooker Salim. After a night in the campsite (equipped with all stuff you need, tents, mattres, sleeping bag, pillow, washrooms, open kitchen, dining room) we moved to Ngorongoro park where we slept in another campsite. The third day we went to Ngorongoro crater and then back to Twiga campsite. The last day we spent the day in Tarangire park with a new guide, the amazing Golden who brought us alao in the Snake Park on our way to Arusha.
Very positive experience, well reccomended!

Professional and well organized! Great company
We had a great experience with Suricata Safaris.
The first day we did a city tour with Swaleh and John, they were great and really enthusiastic about their job! Showed us the best places in Arusha and we had a delicious dinner together. The ride in the tuktuk was so much fun and they even helped us renting the things we needed for the next days!
The day after we started the safari with our guide/driver Elis who was really prepared and explained us everything about the animals we met, and our chef Salim who’s the best cook and funnier guy ever!
On our last day our guide was Golden and we loved him!! So professional and kind, even brought us to the snake park and the masai museum.
I’d def recommend this company for your next safari in Tanzania!

Amazing experience
The landscapes were just breathtaking and the experience itself is just incredible, a must to do in one life, I recommend Suricata 100%. We were lucky to see the big five. The food and the accomodations were nice, well equipped even though the it was quite cold in the last night, so take something warm for your last night and do not forget your camera and binoculars. Big Up to Bryson our driver guide #JamboBwana

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
What an amazing adventure!! If you are debating booking a safari with Suricata, book now! It was our first time in Africa and I was a little nervous coming all the way from the U.S. and picking the right Safari, but Suricata was the best choice! We did the middle range and stayed in the tented lodge and had the experience of a lifetime! Maxi was an awesome guide! From the logistics to the dining to the lodging to the game drives Suricata was super efficient! Thank you so much to Maxi and the whole crew! We will be telling our family and friends to come to Tanzania and tour with Suricata Safaris!

The best trip of our lives
It’s hard to put into words how unforgettable our trip with Suricata Safaris was.
From start to finish, everything is made so easy for you. It would be simple to go on and on about the incredible experiences you have with the animals in the national parks but actually what makes Suricata so special is all the little thoughtful touches and the incredibly smooth logistics. Though it is worth mentioning that our superstar guide Bryson made sure we got to see the big five plus a leopard and a cheetah family :) we had luck on our side for sure!
The airport transfer is so easy on both ends, and they make sure there is no waiting around at any point - unless you want to of course!
We opted for a mid range safari as it was our honeymoon but honestly the quality of the food and accommodation was at the standard of a luxury holiday.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded twice - including a night’s stay at the indescribable Suricata Boma Lodge which is truly five star luxury with unforgettable sunset views over Lake Manyara. Drinking a pina colada by the pool was a real highlight.
I wasn’t sure how good the tented camps would be from the photos I’d seen but they are so much more amazing than the photos make them seem! I had two really good nights sleep in the middle of two of Tanzania’s best national parks - Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Waking up in the parks is an unforgettable experience and we saw all our best sightings because of the early game drives that begin as soon as you leave your camp - and sometimes before!
A big shout out for our guide Bryson who knew so much about the bird life as well as the big game and his driving was incredible which is not to be understated on the rocky Tanzanian roads!
Honestly, this safari was the best thing either of us has ever done (apart from get married to each other).
Nothing is too much trouble for Suricata. We would highly recommend booking your safari with them - you won’t regret it!
Was an awesome experience
This was the first time out of the country so very nervous. But, they made is awesome. Picked up at airport and transferred to lodging. Picked up the next day to start safari. Safari with our guide, Damian, and chef, Moosa, were awesome. Damian was great at answering questions and Moosa definitely kept us well fed. Only hiccup would be I feel like we didn't get much time with guide the first two evenings due to having vehicle issues. Also, didn't want to start and a handful of occasions once turned off to watch the animals. They said getting three new vehicles at the end of September. If that is the case then would give 5 stars.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and polite.
We did the 5 day trip and had a great time. I dont think I would want to do anything longer. We got to see all the animals except for the rhino. Someone from the company picked us up at the airport and took us to the provided hotel. They make sure all your transportation is provided and the pick you up on time.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and polite. There are so many tour companies it was initially hard for us to choose. I am glad we chose Suricata.
I would highly suggest upgrading to a room at the Twiga campsite, instead of a tent. These two nights are in town and not out in the wild.
