Amazing 5 day safari experience
Great 5 day safari tour. Managed to spot the BIG 5 thanks for to our guide Lewis. His knowledge about the animals and the different areas was great. Our chef Tito was awesome… you definitely won’t be hungry!! His herb breads and pizzas were amazing! Camping experience was basic.. but nice to wake up to amazing scenery and have some friendly elephants visit !

Unforgettable experience
5* from beginning to end. Our guide Mr Mandela was a great and very knowledgeable guide. Flexible to accommodate our request if we wanted to do something slightly off plan. Managed to see 4 out of the big 5, missed the ryno as they are extremely rare. We booked the mid range safari and even got upgraded to a 5* lodge a couple of days. Staff is always extremely caring, polite and concerned over your well being. Overall was amazing and highly recommended.

5 Days Safari and Arusha City Tour
We booked the 5 days group camping safari tour and it was a great experience! Everything worked very well, the airport transfer, all meals and accommodation. Everything was very clean and the staff friendly. Our safari guide Frederic has an incredible knowledge about the animals and also the nature. We learned a lot from him.
After the safari we booked a city tour with Suricata Safari. Swaleh was very friendly and told us a lot about Arusha. We saw all the sights, had a good meal and visited a Maasai market. He also helped us with the bus tickets.
We were very positively surprised and would definitely book suricata safari again!

Looked after all the small details.
Our tour operator or contact was Hilary, who communicated everything before we arrived. The assistant Daniel who we met at our hotel was very informative with information of what to expect during the days and what to wear and take with us in our travels.
Damian was our tour guide, who was again the same, informative, knowledgeable and funny.
The whole experience was something to behold, and worth the money we paid.
In general the experience of the safari was monumental, and one that will last a lifetime.

Best safari of my life. Responsible, flexible, friendly.
Thank you Suricata Safaris. All these 5 days, including my birthday on September 8, you were my family. Thank you for the warmth, kindness, openness, love and joy that your guys shared with us. Thank you Lewis, thank you Mandela, thank you Tito. How hard Lewis and Mandela tried to find all the animals, not to miss anyone. And they succeeded. I saw almost all the animals except the rhinoceros and the cheetah. But I understood where I was going, this is nature, not a zoo or a circus, this is an animal house.
And how delicious Tito cooks, I sometimes doubted that I was in the wild, and the dishes in it were like from a restaurant. Thank you Meerkat Safari. You are the best in your business, the very best. I will definitely come back, and when I return I will be with you my new family ☺️
Separately, I want to thank and confess my love ☺️ to my manager Tisia. This is the best, kind, open person with a huge heart and soul.
Thanks for everything Meerkats☺️✌️

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

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.

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
