Perfect Safari experience
If you're looking for a safari operator stop and book with Suricata. You don't need to plan anything. Just fill a quote on their website and they will (very quickly!!) supply you with all the information. We chose a 5-day safari with a fixed price that included ALL the airport transfers and nice hotel accommodation in Arusha (where you can also safely store your lougage during the safari). You are brieft every evening about how the next day will be. Our guide Mandela was amazing - he waited that everybody finished taking photos and shared interesting information about the animals. Also the meals were perfect (especially considering you are in the wild) - Tito's pizza and bbq meat were so good. Just sit back, enjoy the animals and take in the scenery.
Hakuna matata.

Amazing 4 days safari
Amazing experience with Suricata safaris. We were well taken charge from our arrival at the airport to our return to the airport. Before our safari, they answered all our questions very quickly. On the day of our arrival, our flight was delayed and we ended up landing at a different airport then expected and they were quick to answer and modify the plan. Our guide Joseph was just the best. He answered all of our questions, was very patient and shared a lot of fun facts about the animals we were seeing. He was giving us plenty of time to take pictures and to just admire afterwards. Our cook Tito was also the best. His food is divine and he takes the time to explain what you’re eating. The accommodations at each campsite are really basic. Don’t expect to take a warm shower. But the spots are great. Overall, it really was the experience of a lifetime.

Amazing
Our safari was so perfectly organized and our tour guide Joseph was the best one ! We went on camping and had the chance to eat all of Tito’s food, which was a feast each day ! Communication before the safari was very well done too and 2 nights in Arusha (before and after the safari ) is included too, as well as transfert from airports. We loved everything about this company and we would go again with them !

Amazing experience!
We just came back from our 5 day / 4 night camping safari with suricata and it was just amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable and got us to see a looot of animals up close (thanks James!), we got plenty of nice food (thanks to Moussa) and were blessed with a great group in our car (max 6 people at a time).
About the camping: The tents were always built up for us which was super convenient and you get a thin matress that is quite comfortable to sleep. Overall, dont expect luxury but we really enjoyed it and would choose camping again, its a really cool experience to sleep in the wild. Dont forget to pack a warm fleece jacket as on Ngorongoro crater it gets pretty cold during the night.
About the lenght of your trip: If you are short on time, I would advice to book the 4 day / 3 nights tour as it gives enough time to enjoy the most amazing sights (serengeti and ngorongoro) and is still not too rushed.
About suricata: We are beyond happy with the service we got! Obviously there are cultural differences that you might need to get used to while traveling in Tanzania but the guys at suricata really go the extramile to make sure you have a good time while you are in & around Arusha, not only on the safari but also in the city itself. This morning one of them even organized breakfast for us as the hotel had run out of food eventhough we were there on time. We really appreciated also that the night before & after the Safari in Arusha were included in the price (we were staying at the Senator), and also the airport transfers. Really a great value for money. Thank you so much again!

Elias the tour guide was brilliant. Ask for him if you can.
The Tour was fabulous as Elias took us to places other guides didn’t go to and as a consequence we saw the over 40 different species of animals including the big five. Wonderful!

Amazing experience in all aspects
It was great! We saw a lot of animals, many of them were very close so we could take nice pictures. Camping was good as well, we always had all the facilities needed for a good stay.
Special thanks to our guide who was great and helpful, and to the chef. The food was delicious, way better than we expected!
Definitely an experience we’d like to have again in the future.

Fantastic safari experience
One of the best experiences in my life.
First, our guide was very friendly and passionate. We got to learn a lot of interesting facts about animals and local life.
Second, of course the animals! Lots of them, in different locations and from different perspectives. It was way beyond our expectations. We got to see the whole big five!
Next, the chef was incredible. I can't remember a single dish that was just "ok". Everything was delicious.
So, we're absolutely happy with this experience and would higly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone who plans to go on safari trip.
