Good organization
Well organized and reliable pickup, drop off and the overall timetable. The guide was very knowledgeable about the place as well as animals that we saw. He communicated during the tour with colleagues in order to take us to places where there was something to see at that time.
We chose the tented lodges to avoid sleeping in a tent and I’m glad we did so. The lodges were as luxurious as can be for the middle of wilderness, at all places people were very friendly and trained and you did feel safe.
The company also organized a balloon flight for us over Serengeti which I think was worth the money. Again, the guide was very experienced and made the experience worthwhile.

Exceptional
We had a magical stay, beyond our expectations. The quality team, Daniel, Lewis and James were adorable and attentive throughout the duration of the safari. We will do it again one day for sure!

An amazing, well run experience!
Even for a "budget" tour, everything was well organized and high value. The tents were already set up at each camp site with comfortable sleeping pads and tasty, fresh, and homemade food was served for every meal. You will see even more animals than what you hope for and be struck by the natural beauty on this unforgettable experience!

Amazing safari
We just completed a 4 day/3 night camping safari to the Serengeti, Ngorogonoro crater and Tarangire national park and it was amazing. All of the campsites had good facilities (flushing toilets and some even had hot showers).
Our driver Lewis had phenomenal eyesight and was able to spot animals from a long way off, leading to us being able to see leopards, cheetahs and lots of lions. He also had incredible knowledge of all the large animals, but also of the smaller birds and reptiles found in the parks.
Our Chef James also provided the best meals out of any of the tour companies that we saw and the variety was superb. He was accomodating to any dietary requirements and food preferences which made the trip even better.
The safari starts and finishes with a pre-/ debrief which was done by Daniel who explained everything really well and got us excited for the next 4 days. At the end of the safari, Daniel also listened to our opinions and welcomed any feedback which could help the company improve.
I have already recommended this company to friends, and when we finally return to Tanzania, will absolutely be booking through Suricata Safaris again.

Amazing safari!
We saw all the animals that only was possible to see! Almost everyone was close as in his Palm. Guide Max was a sensitive, attentive and told iteres facts about animals. It was as much as possible in time. We flew by ourselves from Zanzibar to Arushi a day before the Safari began. We were settled in a lovely room, anticipating taking from the airport. Also back, our departure was the next morning after Safari. Thank Max again, our companions from the Netherlands and Australia and all organizers of this wonderful adventure! Surikata Safari best, you can take and trust them 100%!!!
Educating, thrill and fun
An absolutely fantastic experience of Tanzania. We went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro on a two night tented safari. Our Guide Elias and Chef Pjuh did an excellent job. We easily found all the animals and were the first to arrive several times. Sleeping in a tent was an experience as our first night at Dik-dik camp we had hyenas that cleared the kitchen at night and in the morning we had a family of lions about 300 meters away that watched us and were there for a long time. At Simba camp we had a bull that stroked the tents, ate grass and snorted. We have seen all the big nine and about 50 lions in total very very close.

Perfect No problems along the way
The safari was perfect, we got to see everything from elephants walking in front of our cars to a lion trying to hunt a buffalo. The food was amazing and the guide was out of this world. No problems communicating or with the campsites or cars

Relaxing and unforgettable experience
The safari was great. It exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Rocky, was super considerate of the group’s needs, often anticipating it before it came up. He was also extremely knowledgeable of the animals (big and small), ecosystem, and environment. The company, itself, was very well-run. The guides and staff were in constant communication so that all clients were able to get to/ from our different. specific location. During the safari, not only did we see amazing animals, but Rocky gave us time to just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend it!
Thoughtful, knowledgeable Client-first safari company
Suricata went out of its way to make this a special safari. They are very client focused from picking you up in the airport to planning accommodation. Our guide, Rocky, was bright, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti and surrounding areas., he set expectations well and was curious about us and what we wanted from the safari. Overall, it exceeded my expectations of safari and I would love to book more tours in the future.

Luis was great, I could not expect a better experience from anyone else.
We arrived into the Kilimanjaro International Airport and were shuttled to the Tulia Hotel. We met Daniel for our safari briefing, who was extremely personable and welcoming. We met our driver and tour guide, Luis the following morning. Luis was amazing the entirety of the trip and we greatly appreciated his and the whole crew’s hard work making our experience special. We completed our trip with a debrief with Daniel and a shuttle ride to the airport. Overall, was an amazing experience and would recommend it to anyone.
