Best experience!
Me and my mum were on the 4 days safari, and the wohle experience was just amazing!
Suricata has outsteped all our expectations… everything was perfectly organised from the Airport to the Arusha accomodation and even to the next destination. Also the booking and communication was highly professional. The day before we got a brefing, every transport was on time, and everyone was talking really good english which made it really easy.
Mandela our guide was the best!!! (Although i belive all guides are great) But he had such amazing knowledge, was fluent in English, a great driver (which is important with hard road conditions sometimes) and furthermore such a kind and lovely person. He was taking real good care of all our wishes, whenever we wanted to take more time to watch some animals it was not a problem at all.
Our chef Mussa was also amazing, the food was always fresh and delicioud and also a lot. He took such great care of my vegan diet and it was not a problem at all!
The safari itself was also really special, Mandela was so good in spotting animals. We were really lucky and got to see all big 5, but even if that wouldn‘t have worked out it would have still been unforgettable.
The safaris on each day are also quite long so you have plenty of time and don‘t have to rush. Sometimes it was just nice watching the animals for sometime.
Everything is looked after, from putting up the tents to setting up the food. It‘s a full service. Our group was also amazing, getting to meet people from all over the world and connecting for a few days in the middle of nowhere is also an unforgettable experience.
Furthermore I have to say, all the restrooms on the way and also on the campgrounds were really well looked after and clean.
Be aware, November is the start of the small rain season, so camping gets a little harder but was still an amazing experience. The tents lasted in monsoon rain. And if anything did get wet, like sleepingbag, you could just get a different one. Still during the day it was mostly dry, rain only came in the evenings and at night time… but it is weather, you can never predict. The plus part about this season, the animals seem to be a lot more active if it is not just hot and sunshine and the scenary is great for taking pictures.
We would always book with suricata again and have nothing to complain about.

Service, adventure and Polite. We have no complains, it was just awesome.
The safari was absolutely amazing. We saw everything there was to see. Our guide, Mandela, was incredible, expertly scouting and explaining everything while being consistently kind and polite. He quickly spotted animals that we could only see through binoculars.
An incredible experience. Highly recommended.

AMAZING
We absolutely loved our safari experience !
We were lucky enough to see so many animals - including the big 5!
Our guide, Max, did every thing possible to make us see the rare animals.
It was an amazing safari, the food was great (thank you James), the tents and campsites were nice and Max was so kind and accommodating.
He took the time to tell us lots of facts on the animals and the Maui culture. But also was open to some friendly banter.
Thank-you so much Suricata for this unforgettable experience.

Great safaris
We had a pleasant stay in the Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Terengueti national parks. The landscapes are breathtaking and wild. We were able to enjoy three beautiful nights in the national parks in tents. A unique experience that I recommend. We were able to taste traditional dishes made on site by the Meerkat Safaris cooks. Thanks to Max, our guide who gave us a friendly, professional and attentive time. We were able to see a lot of animals, especially the Big 5, thanks to him. A wonderful experience thanks to suricata. Thank you so much.

Accomodating
We did the 3 day tour: lake manyara, serengeti and ngorongroro crater. Extremely grateful for doing our safari with suricata. Excellent communication and efficient in organizing. We had to delay the tour 1 day due to illness and they were extremely accomodating and flexible. Allowed us to postpone and continue with the full tour with no additional cost! Our operator Daniel met with us the first night and gave us a thorough breifing on what to expect. Ensured we packed enough warm clothes and had everything we needed. He was also extremely helpful with any other general information required for future trips and connecting us with transport further into our holiday. Our guide, Elias was very knowledgeable and insightful while continuing on our safari. He made a real effort to spot the wildlife and managed to help us see the big 5! He navigated driving in stormy weather safely and ensured we still got the full safari experience. He was able to answer any questions we had and ensured we were comfortable at all times. Water was always provided and amazing meals from chef James! We ate like kings and queens! On my day of leaving my phone wasn't working. So the team even went above and beyond to buy airtime for their personal phones to assist me in making phone calls as required. All staff were extremely warm welcoming and helpful. Would definitely book my next safari/ tour with suricata!!

Very good experience, and good value for money
Everything was very good! We did the budget version, but the campsites, tents, food and places we went were all amazing! The guides and the cook were very kind, took their time to explain, and especially our guide Max made a big impact on us.
Asante sana, Max

Very good experience!!
We had such a good experience at our 5 days Safari, where we saw the big five and so many other animals. Everyone was so kind, including our nice guide Max, who told us a lot of things about the animals, the culture and himself.
We got so much value for our money!

It was the best experience ever!
If you come to Tanzania, this is a must have and with Suricata Safaris everything was perfect.
Suricata’s staffs are nice and attentive, they picked up from the airport and briefing us about our experience.
Freddy was our guide and he is really patient, he explained us everything, showing us the animals (the big 5 and a lot more) and answering all our questions. It was the best safari! The food and the campsites were amazing.
I really recommend this experience with Suricata Safaris, they are the best and we really loved and enjoyed our stay!
