Incredible 6 days private camping safari
The safari was purely amazing. All the Nationalparks we attended were unique and had their own beauty. Our guide was super easy to talk to and gave us tons of information about the culture, the animals and the country itself. What I especially liked about our guide was the fact that he treated all animals with the outmost respect. Another big plus was the private chef that was traveling with us and cooked us 3 incredible meals a day. I would definitely recommend suricata safaris and hope to be back one day.

Epic Serengeti and Ngorogoro tour!
**Review for Suricata African Safari in Serengeti and Ngorogoro**
From the moment I set foot in the pristine wilderness of the Serengeti and Ngorogoro, Suricata African Safari exceeded all my expectations. Every aspect of this safari was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. The accommodation provided was top-notch, blending seamlessly with the surrounding nature while offering all the comforts of a luxury stay. The panoramic views from our lodgings were truly a sight to behold, especially during the golden hours of dawn and dusk.
But what truly set this experience apart were the people. Our guide, Mandela, showcased a deep understanding and passion for the wildlife and its habitat. His vast knowledge and keen eye ensured that we didn't miss out on any of the spectacular sightings, from the majestic lions to the graceful gazelles. His storytelling added an extra layer of depth to our game drives, making each encounter memorable.
Equally commendable was our cook, Tito. Every meal he prepared was a culinary delight, capturing the essence of African cuisine while catering to diverse palates. Whether it was a sumptuous breakfast to kickstart our day or a hearty dinner after an adventurous game drive, Tito's dishes were always the highlight.
In summary, Suricata African Safari offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of Africa. The combination of epic game drives, fantastic food, and exceptional staff like Mandela and Tito makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the wonders of the African wilderness. Highly recommended!

Best safari ever!
Suricata was perfect. It went beyond my expectations. I had the 4 days/3 nights safari tour to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. The driver and guide Mandela is very experienced, professional and kind. The whole crew was great, the agents Tizia and Mr. Ti, the cook Tito who has prepared delicious food for us. The food was a highlight, real and fresh (not lunchboxes). Excellent structure of campings, car, hotel, etc. I really recommend Suricata!

Amazing safari experience!
The trip was amazing! Beyond the expectations. The tents and sleeping bags were new and clean. The food was fresh and delicious - no lunch box, there was one person to cook it every day for us. The driver was very nice and we could spot a lot of animals, with enough time to observe and take pictures. Thanks a lot, Tizia, Mr. T, Mandela and Tito! I will recommend Suricata to everyone in Brazil!

LIFE CHANGING & UNFORGETTABLE 5 DAYS GROUP SAFARI! NAKUPENDA AFRICA!
My boyfriend and I planned this trip to Africa in 3 months without a traveling agent, one thing we knew for sure was that we wanted to do a Safari. So, when the time came to do research on which one we would select, I'm not gonna lie it was a bit stressful because we did not know much about Safari tours. The 1st one to come up in Expedia and TripAdvisor was Suricata Safaris, and the name was quite catchy to me. I quickly read about it and also the reviews and was VERY happy, but my boyfriend suggested that we kept looking... Just in case...
The day came to select one company, we researched and read reviews for 5 different ones, then 3, then 2, You know which one we chose.
We communicated with the marketing person via WhatsApp Halima was VERY fast at answering all the questions we had, and accommodating our requests, making us feel secure about this whole thing.
Things we were looking for:
Secured transportation to and from the airport.
A group tour- (Because we thought that private was just gonna be boring and we love meeting new people, which ended up being the most gratifying thing because our group was full of beautiful, sweet, amazing people from all over (which is a plus because you learn of other cultures, places and even make plans to visit them)).
A secure place to sleep
Included food and water
An English speaker knowledgeable tour guide (Rocky was our and we LOVE HIM).
We chose Suricata Safaris because we felt it has all of the things we were looking for.
Everything was GREAT, from the driver picking us up at the airport when we arrived taking us safely to our hotel to the dropped off on time so we could catch our flight back to BEAUTIFUL ZANZIBAR.
The tour itself was pretty AMAZING! We stayed at super comfortable lodges, met incredible people, and had DELICIOUS food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) most of them provided to you.
The food provided to you is cooked by a Chef and is very well prepared for the tour. At the time of lunch, the food will still be warm and also tea and coffee will be provided to you.
You can choose between camping tents or tented lodges. We went with the lodge because we wanted to sleep comfortably knowing that days were going to be long and tiring. Our Favorite was the Suricata Boma Lodge, EVERYTHING about this place is perfection. I will leave another review just for this place.
Our driver for the 5 days was Rocky, I can not say enough about him! Super fun, cool, patient, and very knowledgeable about animal species, age, and relationships. He took his time to let us take pictures patiently and took extra time to find animals like leopards who are hard to find, but at the same time, he kept track of time. He entertained us with his kind and fun personality and made sure that we were all doing well.
EVERYTHING was time to perfection every single day! We arrived at our destinations for the night on time to shower and enjoy a nice dinner and wine (the tented lodges have bars equipped with good liquor, wine, and beers).
To conclude, it was the BEST experience of my life!!! I took so much from Africa, from this tour and the Majestic Animals that I was able to see!
I couldn't contain myself a couple of times and I let it out! It was all happy tears; you feel so connected with nature, the animals, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and the people.
We'll be back Tanzania Pole Pole!
Asante Sana, Suricata Safaris & Nakupenda Africa.

Just remember, this is just the beginning
Super Safari with Suricata!
October 2023
We went on our 5 day safari on the second week of October and it was fantastic. Suricata Safaris was professional and organized from start to finish. We went with them for their fast and prompt replies to our questions and willingness to be flexible to our needs, both logistically and financially. Halima was our marketing point of contact and was super helpful to get the ball rolling.
They picked us up from the airport at Arusha and got us to the hotel to rest after our long trip. We were fully briefed by another point of contact from the company and ironed out all the logistics. They were very transparent with some of the last minute changes they had to make, which turned out to be for the better, including an upgrade to one of our lodging sites!
The tour was conducted by Rocky. He was amazing not just as a tour guide but also as a human being. He took care of our group and always made sure we were safe, comfortable and well accommodated throughout the entire tour. He went out of his way to serve us our meals and was attentive to all of our needs. The tour would not have been as amazing had it were not for him- always happy and upbeat and very knowledgeable. Thanks Rocky for helping our group create so many unforgettable memories!
Kudos to all the staff behind the scenes to make our accommodations and lodging comfortable and safe. The food was exquisite and delicious! Thank you!
After our 5 days we stayed at the hotel and they drove us to the airport the next day to our next adventure in Africa.
If you need to have a safari tour, I highly recommend Suricata. I can not thank them enough to make our dream of having a once in a lifetime chance to go on a safari memorable and awesome. Hakuna Matata! Asante sana!
