One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best.
One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best. Mr. Twalbu gave me enough explanations about the tour before starting the safari tour and listened to our story. He was very kind and he felt good even before the tour started. We booked late and went on a safari tour with another company that is working with Surikata, but it didn't feel bad because there was enough explanation about it. I had a problem with my car during the safari, but the guide responded quickly, so I was able to switch to another car in a short time. Our guides and chefs fulfilled their roles and I was very happy with it. The airport pick-up service and the condition of the accommodation I stayed before the safari tour were also good! Thank you for making good memories, Suricata:)

Truly amazing
Went on a 3-day Serengeti-Ngorongoro Safari. Truly spectacular views and animals at 1-2meters from you.

An amazing experience with obviously the best company around
Wow! I can not recommend Suricata safaris enough and I will be doing to all my friends and family. If I could give more than five stars, then I would, from beginning to end, Suricata were amazing. From the initial email communication and organisation to on the ground support. They were flexible and great communicators, catering to every need. As soon as we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted very warmly and given a full briefing of what to expect from our safari, so we were fully prepared.
We asked to do a local tour of Arusha which they organised last minute with a great guide Chuke, who showed us the real Arusha, including important monuments, hidden gems and visited a local restaurant with delicious food, Chuke educated us so much on the culture and history of the town.
Then we started our safari with Mandela as our guide for the 3 day safari across the Serengeti & Ngorongoro and it’s safe to say we were in the best hands. Mandela is a clear expert on the animals, culture and environment and also shared so much insight into Tanzania as a country, the most knowledgable, skilled guide in both safari & driving, this was also recognised by other guides that we met on our trip, he really is a genuine, nice and honourable man. We’re so grateful that we got to have him as our guide and are leaving Tanzania with a once in a lifetime experience, seeing incredible animals and meeting brilliant people. The food and lodges during our trip were incredible too and everything was organised to a tee, we already can’t wait to come back!
Kind, welcoming, and professional staff
Incredible views and photos, awesome food, very skilled/safe driver, lots of bathroom breaks. Good communication.
Unforgettable experience with Suricata Safaris
Definitely, this safari exceeded my expectations.
All the people at Suricata were extremely kind and helpful since the beginning.
The pickup at Kilimanjaro Airport was on time and the driver was very friendly and started to explain me a lot of information about Tanzania in our road to Arusha. The staff at the hotel was already waiting for me and a person from Suricata arrived on time to give me the briefing about the safari.
During the safari the drivers were always kind and did care that all the group was happy, safe, and having a good time. Both Damian and Elias were friendly and respectful. They always did their best to explain us everything about the parks and the animal life.
I highly recommend going for the medium range safari instead of the budget option: the lodges are really nice, the tents are truly comfortable, and the staff at the lodges is also very kind and efficient. The truth is that paying that extra money is totally worth, you won’t regret it.
At the end of the safari a driver took me back to Kilimanjaro on time, as scheduled.
An unforgettable experience.
Thanks Suricata! Thank you Damian and Elias!

Marvelous team that is willing to go all out for client's best experience
The tour was very well coordinated from picking up people from different spot and get together for a 4 days trip to the end of sending off everyone to different final destination. Clear briefing was given a day ahead of tour. Our guide cum driver, Matcha was a very experience person who was very sharp at spotting the animals from afar and was always willing to go all out for the best interest of us without compromising safety. He was also very attentive and kind hearted to ensure that we were well informed of what's coming next and always be with us should there be a delay in events. His kindness and willingness to help the other counterpart whom vehicles got stuck during the drive and calmness in dealing with unforeseen circumstance (heavy rain and flood at main road of Serengeti National Park)should win him a recognition for being the Excellent Guide of Serengeti.
Coupled with him is a very creative cook, Victor who ensured we were pampered with good meals everyday.
Good job and well done team!!

Great experience with Suricata Safari
It was our first time with Safari. It was amazing. We saw so many animals. Our driver Fredie was always nice and did the save ride through the parks. We saw thanks to him a lot of animals from few metres. Lions, elephants even cheetah. There was enough stops for toilets or bushtoilets. Food was always delicious. Good communications regarding arrivals and drop off to airports. Also we slept in a very good hotel for the night before safari in Arusha.
The public camps were just alright, there was shower (one cold, one warm). The landed tent and sleeping bags were clean and fine. We had our personal cooker James, who made a delicious food. Wheather during december was perfect for the safari, little bit raining during a day caused less dust. Temperature was very good, not too hot or cold. We took 900 pictures for 3 days. We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and everything was amazing.
Best experience ever
I totally recommend doing a Safari with Suricata Safaris. They picked me up at the airport on time and drove me to the hotel in Arusha where a representative of the tours Twaha explained everything in detail, he even helped me driving me to the closest atm. The highlight of the safari was our guide Macha, he is just the best safari guide! He was very funny and proactive. He did his very best to drive us to see the big 5. I had two different guides and I learned the most important thing in a safari is the guide because he’s the one who can take you and spot the animals. So don’t hesitate to book your safari with Suricata!
