Good drive, excellent cook, excellent value for money.
Excellent service. Edgar good driver was often first safari car to the animals. Tutu cook brilliant. Value for mionat- could not find better. Picked us up and brought us back to our remote location near Tengeru.
Do heed packing instructions. This is a camping safari do not expect hotel comforts.
This is a genuine review

Amazing experience, Thank you
I did the 4 day safari camping safari from Arusha. Excellent in every way, good value for money but lots of beautiful food and clean drinking water. Edgar the driver guide was very knowledgeable and safe. Tito was a brilliant chief cooking 3 beautiful meals a day. Oh, the wild life was out of this world......

Kind and skilled professional
It was always my dream to watch animals in the wild nature. As honeymoon, we chose to visit Tanzania for safari tour. Before, I was a little bit worried about my decision but it turned out to be wrong. The experience was so fantastic.
Before safari starts, we were given detailed briefing about safari from Daniel. He was so professional and explained everything in detail without confusion, and also tried to arrange the best tour plan.
On first day, we met our guide and driver, Mr. Baraka. He was very kind and always looked after us. And throughout our tour, we were just so surprised about his professional skills. Even from first day, we saw pretty much many of what we had expected. The lions, leopard, elephants, giraffs and so other many. Baraka constantly looked for animals and guided us to them. Whenever we asked about animals, he was just ready to answer. With his guide, we could see all of the Big 5, including lion, leopard, elephants, buffalo and even rhinos. It just was an amazing experience and those who read this review should just try it.
Additionally, the lunches Baraka prepared for us was much better than my expectation. Also the 3 accommodations were wonderful too. Thanks to Suricata, we were able to experience Boma Lodge, for free upgrade. It surely was the best resort ever in Africa.
Thanks to Suricata, Daniel and Baraka, we really enjoyed safari and surely want to experience one more time.

3 days 4 nights safari
Guide Damian and cook Musa were super professional and cool. I trust them a lot. Their 3 days 4 nights safari was perfect for me. Every single meal was great and Musa is a master of Tanzanian cuisine.
Perfect camping safari experience
This safari and experience was fantastic! We’ve both been on previous safaris and we were very, very impressed with both our guide and chef that accompanied us the entire safari. Our chef Mussa accommodated three different food allergies and preferences among a group of six like a total pro. The food was incredible - multiple courses for every meal, each of which was delicious — we always left meals extra full and satisfied. Our guide Damien was lighthearted, fun, knowledgeable about all the animals, and always positioned the vehicle in the exact right spot for best viewing and photo opportunities. He clearly knew many of the other guides and companies and was often getting intel on where to find the hardest-to-spot animals. Both Mussa and Damien had phenomenal attitudes, carried such joy, and were incredibly hard workers. This was incredibly reasonably priced for a 5-day safari, although do note this trip encompasses four nights of camping. The campsites in general were beautiful and clean, but the Serengeti location lacked hot water. Alas, you’re sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti which is an incredible experience in and of itself! We didn’t sleep a wink during our night at the Ngorongoro campsite due to Buffalo grazing and sniffing right around our tent but we’d do it again in a heartbeat because that was so cool!!!! Mussa and Damien made the trip what it was. I’d choose Suricata again any day. Don’t hesitate to book!! :))

The best ones in business!!
I'll start by thanking suricata safari for the once in a lifetime experience. What a fun filled safari time. We saw big 5, lion hunting, cheetahs-lions-hyena-vultures eating.
Let me break it down in 5 parts :
-People : I'll start with our sales person Halima, super helpful, always available and getting back quickly to all our queries. Our tour guide, Lewis, the most amazing guide, super knowledgeable, well experienced(8+ yrs of safari guide), very cooperative and patient. Daniel, he was out briefer, again super supportive. Amosi, we met at Boma lounge and all the hotel staff. Great hospitality.
- Places : All the stay we had in our package were Amazing. Very clean, well maintained and at the right locations. Loved it
- Cleanliness : Super clean toilets, each and every one. We were scared about this. But very relieved and happy
- Food : we understand limited option challenge because it's jungle, but a little variety daily would be appreciated(only in veg). No complaints, just a suggestion.
- Animals and nature : Thank you for experience of lifetime!
See you again!!

Amazing safari experience which I would recommend to every one
We were travelling from India and struggled a lot to find a good safari operator. We came across suricata and placed all our bets on them and this was our best decision. All the people we met at Suricata were amazing and very very friendly. All the stays were better than what we expected and our Guide Lewis was the best and most patient one and he made us see rarest sights of Lion hunting and many more animals
Halima was point of contact throughout and special mention to Amosi and Daniel
Would highly recommend Suricata

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari: Exceptional Service by Suricata Safaris
We recently embarked on a 4-day wildlife safari in Tanzania with Suricata Safaris, and the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. Halima, our dedicated coordinator, went above and beyond to tailor the trip to our preferences, displaying exceptional patience and addressing all our queries.
Our safari guide, Lewis, proved to be an invaluable asset—informative, patient, and instrumental in ensuring we witnessed the majestic Big 5 animals. The accommodations provided during the safari were not only comfortable but also provided much-needed relaxation after exhilarating days.
A heartfelt shoutout to Daniel, Chuke, and the entire team for their seamless support during our stay in Arusha and airport transfers. Their commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out.
Our gratitude to Suricata Safaris for orchestrating a memorable adventure, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services for an unforgettable safari experience.

Amazing wonderful ride !
I have rated the safari 5 star as we had a beautiful experience with them. Halima was an amazing coordinator, Lewis the perfect guide for the tour , amousi what a beautiful host and icing on the cake was Chuke who pumped us all with crazy songs at the end of the trip!
Accommodation - was perfect with beautiful views.
Food - could be having a little more variety for vegetarians but in the middle of the jungle getting that food which was well cooked was a great thing!
Cleanliness- super clean car, accommodations, stops in between !
Would definitely recommend to try this one !
