Suricata has exceeded my expectations
We did the 5 day tour and it was an absolutely great experience. From the beginning to the end, everything was perfectly organized, the pick up at the airport, the accommodations, meals and also the comfort during the safari. I would definitely book my safari with Suricata again. Our guide Lewis was an absolute highlight on this trip. He knew everything about the nature and the animals and could answer every question. I would do a safari with him again straight away. It was an incredible time! Thanks to all the people involved!

Very professional organization that puts customer satisfaction first.
This safari was absolutely unforgettable. The ngorongoro crater was mind blowing! We got to meet the Maasai tribe and they showed us around their village. There are so many animals in the crater, and to see them all together in their natural habitat was a dream come true. You name it, we saw it there…zebras, lions, flamingos, wildebeests, warthogs, hippos, endless bird species, and more! In Tarangire we saw lions, giraffes, zebras, and so many elephants. Our guide, Matcha, was extremely good at spotting animals and very knowledgable. He was also a good time and great person, he made it fun. I would highly recommend this company for safaris and will come back again to do more of them myself. They make sure you are enjoying yourself and the safari. One of the staff members, Daniel, was always checking in with me and making sure I was happy with everything each step of the way, and made my trip that much better! This company cares and makes sure you have the best experience you can have. Highly recommend them and this safari! Can’t wait to come back and do another safari with them!

Travel with Suricato Safari - dreams come true!
The safari tour was in mid-November, with all the variability of the weather at this time, we were lucky - everything went without rain during the daytime. Upon arrival at the airport, we were arranged a transfer to the hotel in Arusha, the hotel is good. Daniel gave instructions, explained everything in an accessible way about the future event and movements. Early in the morning we were picked up from the hotel and taken to the Suricata Safaris base, where we got into a jeep, joining four more tourists. On the first day we went to Ngorongoro Conservation, along the way there were countless herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles, and giraffes also came across. Before entering the park, there was an area where animals were directly adjacent to the local population, after the border of the park there were only wild animals in their natural habitat. After stopping for lunch at the Ngorongoro campsite, we continued on our way to Serengeti Park, where we spent the night camping in a tent (so we chose when ordering the tour), a tent for two, spacious enough, but at this time of the year it's cool enough at night, you need to take warm clothes, although sleeping bags are provided. At the campsite we were fed a delicious dinner (salad, soup, meat, dessert and wine) all this time we were fed by Salim, for which a special big thank you to him - there were no stomach disorders! Early the next morning we went to explore Serengeti Park, where we saw all the most interesting things - we were very lucky with animals very close to the car - lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, etc. The photo shoot turned out great. Cheetah and leopard could not be seen up close, but they witnessed the confrontation of Lions and leopard (photo attached). Flora is a real savanna, very beautiful, I used to see this only in pictures and in Animal Planet. The next night we spent at the Ngorongoro campsite, after which we went to the Ngorongoro crater, formed as a result of a volcano about 2.5 million years ago. They closed the big African five there after seeing rhinos, though also from afar (take good optics - photos and binoculars, you won't regret it). We also saw a large number of birds - flamingos, secretary birds, pelicans and many others, otherwise the fauna repeats with Serengeti - lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, herds of artiodactyls. And of course the views are breathtaking. After that, we were taken to a Masai village, where we were shown the customs and way of life of the local tribe. We finished the journey at the hotel, where we were also taken. I want to express my great gratitude to the organizers of the tour, as well as to our driver Demian. I recommend you to visit!

Great guy
We took the 2 day safari to Ngoro Ngoro crater and Tarangire National Park. The views were amazing, we saw a lot of animals in their natural habitat which was a great experience. Our guide Rocky was really on top with his service, he knew a lot and was genuinely a nice guy. The accommodation was pretty nice, people there were helpful and the food that they prepared was delicious! Definitely recommend that one.

All around great price for value safari
Suricata organised the whole experience very well. 950 USD all inclusive with airport pick up and drop off, transportation, 3 meals per day, guide (Freddi was great and knowledgeable), accommodation in tents.
On a 5 day tour, we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, ngorongoro and lake manyara.
I would not recommend doing lake manyara as it doesn’t really add much to the experience in terms of animals and nature. All the other national parks were very worth it!

Unforgetable experience
Jambo jambo!! It has been an unforgettable experience! We have been able to see the Big 5 without any difficulty thanks to our driver Freddy. He explained in English everything we saw and curiosities about the animals' lives and he also answered all our questions. The meals during the safari were delicious and abundant, all local and homemade food prepared by themselves. The accommodation is also great, sleeping in the campsites is a highly recommended experience. We didn't change anything about our safari. Asante Suricata!

Amazing safari
The safari has been wonderful. The airport pick up with Daniel was amazing, we drove all the way to Arusha singing along to Tanzanian songs. Our guide Freddy was great, attentive, answering all our questions and a very good driver. The food of 10, delicious, local and homemade. We saw the Big 5 and many more animals, in short, everything was fantastic. I would repeat with Suricata Safaris. Healthy Assante.

A perfect experience that cannot be matched by anything else.
By doing this Safari, I fulfilled my big dream and it was absolutely perfect, all the NPs, the Ngorongnoro Crater, every place is different and every different beautiful. We had a lot of animals within reach, beautiful nature and we saw the "big 5 animals". Our bagpiper Mandela was a wonderful guide and companion, sleeping in tents had its great charm - in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, you spend the night close to wild animals and hear their voices. The food was always very good and you will definitely not go hungry. I wholeheartedly recommend Suricati and Mandela bagpipes, and once again thank you very much for the experiences I will never forget. I love Tanzania.
