Suricata was professional, friendly, helpful, and very attentive to our needs.
I would recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an amazing Tanzania safari experience. They were affordable, professional, and very attentive to our needs. Our drivers Max and Mandela were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable—providing great info about the wildlife and the Tanzanian culture and answering all our questions. The whole experience was top notch!

Professional team to guide you through Tanzania.
My wife and I took the 5 day group trip with Suricata and we were overall satisfied with everything.
Damien, our guide was very professional and took great care of us.
If you're thinking to book this trip we can easily recommend it. Here are a few things to expect:
You'll very likely make wonderful and lifelong memories, so enjoy the ride.
You'll probably also not see everything you wanted. Nature gives something different every day
Regardless, you'll see a crazy amount of animals in there natural habitat.
Lot! of time in the car - practically all day.
Food was Amazing! Well above expectations. You won't have any trouble, but can bring some snacks.
Shower options are basic but actually decent enough.
Tents are decent but obviously don't offer hotel level comfort. You'll likely wake up to others around you (sometimes animals too )
Things we'd recommend bringing:
Sunglasses - D'uh
Power bank for your stuff - charging options might be limited.
Scarf or something to optionally cover your face from the dust on the road.
Binoculars, one for everyone
Warm clothes for Ngorongoro, that you can also sleep in.
We don't advise to bring big hats, since that would block the view from others in the car.

Excellent safari
I loved this safari tour and the perfect organization.
We saw all the big 5 animals thanks to our guide Godbless that is a very leader and knows how to find them. We had some mechanical problem with the car for the engine start and a pipe but solved asap and with professionalism. We can communicate in english without problems. The lodge and tent camp were good and clean. We ate good and various food (chicken, pasta, pizza, rice, vegetables)

The best Safari in the world
My boyfriend and me did 4 days of Safari trip with Suricata and it was amazing. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks and we were able to see all the Big 5 thanks to our amazing guide Godbless who knows where the animals are. He has been a super good guide who aknows everything about animals. Also our chef was super good, he cooked for us delicious meals. We had a lot of clean water, beer and coca cola. For the dinner also red and white wine. So everything was amazing and I am looking forward to come back again and plan another Safari with Suricata and our guide Godbless, they are the best!!!!

Overall an awesome and unique experience
The 5 days adventure camping safari truly was an amazing experience and really exceeded any expectations I had. As a solo traveller I felt I was safe and well instructed about the schedule and the details both before and during the safari. I really appreciate their responsiveness; when I had any questions Hilary would get back to me both by email and Whatsapp. Before the first day of safari I was briefed in person by Daniel about the schedule and made sure I'd remember to bring all the essential items with me.
I was very impressed by our tour guide Damien's broad knowledge about the wildlife and the geological features of the national parks we were in. Not only was he a very likable person but also a true professional and would ensure we'd approach the animals with respect and dispose the trash correctly.
We came across a lot of animals but the peak moment of the safari was in Ngorongoro where our group was unbelievably lucky to spot a lion coalition of two females and two males with some cubs laying by the carcass of their prey. We had a rare opportunity to witness the lions mate and shortly after a fight broke out between the two male lions - actually one of us filmed the whole thing! Also the baby elephants and monkeys were absolutely adorable.
Hats off to those who planned and handled all the logistics and accomodation in this part of Africa and in a very harsh terrain. I'd imagine it's tough job to supply distant campsites with food and water, yet we still had running hot water and fresh pizza in the middle of a national park!

Great experience
We had booked a day trip to Tarangire.
The trip was well organised and we were able to see plenty of animals in one day.
The guide, Damian, was super nice and professional. He made sure that everyone in the car had the best experience and spotted the animal they wanted to see the most.
We grandly recommend this tour operator and this guide

Safari and African culture at its best
The Safari organized by Suricata was just perfect! I did the 5 days lodge Safari.
My guide Braison was super charming, funny and he has an excellent knowledge about the wildlife and nature. He was so motivated to create the best experience for his clients, and he is so good in spotting the animals. Also after the Safari we spent some fun time together and I consider him as a new friend!
Safari was full board and the lunch was freshly prepared by chef Salim. It was such a delicious and traditional cuisine. Amazing!
Moreover I was lucky to stay two nights in the recently opened Suricata Boma Lodge. This Lodge is just a dream with super friendly staff, great pool with a view and nice bungalows.
Lastly, whole Safari was organized by Hilary himself, the owner of the company. He was super reactive and flexible according to my needs.
Stop searching and spending hours to identify the best Safari provider in Tanzania and go with Suricata! It will be your best choice.

Amazing adventure
I am extremely satisfied with the experience with Suricata Safaris.
My boyfriend and I have just completed our 8-day private tented tour through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
The agency's impeccable organization was evident right from the beginning.
Our guide, Fredrick, proved to be not only qualified and competent, but also deeply passionate about his work. He turned each game drive into a truly exciting adventure and was able to answer all of our questions and curiosities.
Chef James added a touch of luxury to every meal with his delicious dishes, spoiling us with pizza for dinner and popcorn for appetizers.
The professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated by the entire Suricata Safaris team made our safari an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to book with them again in the future!
Absolutely recommended!!

Best tour company in Tanzania
Our guide, Mandela, and the whole Suricata team was awesome. Comfortable, safe, adventurous and fun! We stayed in lodges both nights and woke up to beautiful views. We had close encounters with many of Africa’s most incredible animals. I couldn’t recommend Suricata enough.
