Safari!
Saw all the big 5 and more in our 2 day safari. No complaints highly recommended! Airport pick up and drop off went very smoothly as well, even though our outbound flight was very early!

Unforgettable authentic experience, combining trekking, local culture and water fun
If you are interested in a truly authentic and local experience, getting to know the daily life of the Tanzanian people, who work and live at the footsteps of Mount Kilimanjaro, you have to do the Day Trip with Mister T

Amazing Safari!
We had an amazing Trip. Everything was well organized and worked out perfectly from the beginning. The accommodations were beautiful, especially the Suricata Boma Lodge.
Moreover the food during the Safari was delicious - Thank you Chef Salim!! Compared to other meals we saw Suricata offers a 5* meal, with table clothes a variety of different dishes like vegetables, beans and meat or fish as well as coffee after lunch in the bushes.
Regarding the tour our guides Bryson and Mandela were well experienced, showed us the best spots and elaborated on animal behaviors and habits. They could answer any questions and even spotted the smallest birds.

Incredible safari experience
We did so much research and contacted >10 safari companies and the Suricata quote was by far the best value
We were comforted by all the positive reviews and their experience really shone through during our time with them - they are flexible and happy to add on elements to the trip at the guests request (we went to Olduvai Gorge museum and did a short hike to Olmoti crater)
Overall, Suricata made the whole experience fantastic
We would like to say a particular thanks to our absolutely wonderful wonderful guide Kevin, he was incredible. We were quite particular about what we hoped to get out of our 6 days (there were some particular birds we were excited about) and he made sure to tailor the experience so we could see as many as possible and also bought us a book to help us identify them.
He was extremely attentive / thoughtful - he noticed I was bothered by the tsetse flys and brought a fan the next day so I could shoo them away; if we mentioned there were certain foods we wanted to try he spoke to the chef and they were on the menu the next day! I got the impression that our having a good time was his number one priority
He was amazing and really helped to elevate our entire safari experience - thank you Kevin!

Perfect Safari Experience in Tanzania
Going on safari with Suricata has been an incredible experience. We‘ve seen so many different animals and were able to fully enjoy the wildlife due to the excellent organization of the tour. Max has been a perfect guide and driver, super laid back, charming and well-informed. Camping in the national parks is an amazing experience even though it can get somewhat cold during the night. However, waking up so close to the animals is absolutely worth it. We were provided with everything necessary for the tour and especially the food was brilliant. If you want to go on Safari in Tanzania, go with Suricata!

Super
I thoroughly enjoyed a 5-day mid-range safari with Jikil; it comes highly recommended. When I return, I will undoubtedly choose Suricata once again.
From the moment of airport pickup to the exceptional food, comfortable accommodations, and well-organized game drives, everything was executed with professionalism.
Furthermore, every member of the Suricata team I encountered exhibited remarkable kindness and helpfulness.
A special shoutout to Chuke for his generous assistance in resolving my ATM issues in Arusha – his support was truly invaluable.

Amazing experience!
Me and my boyfriend had a great experience with Surikata safari.
When I started looking for a safari, I was really worried about booking on my own because it often happens to bump into a fraud.
However, Hilary, the chief of surikata safari, was available to call and explain me everything i needed and answered every whatsapp text I sent him. That made us rely on this company and we booked the 5 nights budget safari (which means sleeping in the tent).
5nighs safari actually includes more than just the safari stuff (pick up at there airport, accomodation in arusha...), but they will explain if you ask them.
Regarding our experience, we really loved serengheti and ngoro ngoro parks (remember to bring something warm for ngoro ngoro couse it s cold), we have seen a lot of animals and taken many poctures.
Tarangire was fine as well, but if I could change something, I would maybe skip the Lake manyara park because is not very interesting, you loose one day and you get tired.
Our guide was well prepared and food was good.
The camping site were in the middle of the nature, which allowed us to see the sunset and the sunrise; the tents were generally clean.
Overall, i warmly recommend Surikata safari, also because its good bilance between quality and price.

Great
Super 6 Day Family Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
Unforgettable memories in Serengeti and Ngorongoro where we slept among the animals.
Rocky, our guide, speaks very good French and has a good knowledge of wildlife and history. He was very kind to the children and always took good care of us. He showed us many animals.
The food prepared by Salim was excellent and the children loved it.
New comfortable Land Cruiser.
