Awesome and responsive.
I went on a 4 day/3 night Safari that included the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park as well as the Ngorogoro Conservation Area.From day 0 when we were picked up at the airport and put up in a hotel in Arusha, everythywent seamlessly making it a pleasant experience. We had afull day to spare in Arusha and we got a local guide (on payment) who gave Avery nice tour of Arusha. Our tour guide cum driver, Rocky, was good in several ways. He was knowledgeable and shared a passion with birding with one of us. 60+ species of birds were identified dur ing the four days. Of course, we were able to see a large number of animals thanks to spot decisionsto change routes. This enabled us to see multiple rhinos and lions that included a real.close encounter. Due to rains, multiple vehicles got stuck and needed help to be pulled out. Rocky"s compassion towards others was nice to see as he helped out. Hallimaa who was our contact person at Suricata was very helpful as well. She helped us plan our itinerary and helped us stay within our budget. Further, she responded to several requests of ours during the safari. All overnight stays in the Parks were good. I am a vegetarian and there was more than enough food for me. All in all, it was a memorable experience.

Excellent tour. Best guide
We had a wonderful safari experience with Suricata. Halima was in touch with us throughout, taking care of every detail. My husband and friend are vegetarian, and they were very happy with the options provided. Chuke met us in Arusha when we arrived and was kind enough to take us shopping for essentials. Our guide for the safari was Rocky, and there cannot be a better person to e with on a safari. He was so helpful and extremely knowledgeable about birds, stopping and pointing them out and explaining things patiently. He can spot animals miles away and we saw 4 of the big 5 thanks to him. We felt so lucky to have him with us for 4 days. Such an amazing person. All in all it was the best trip I have ever been on.
People friendly with Exceptional skills
Heaven for vegans& any dietary restrictions
We were blessed on our Safari trip to Serengeti , Tarangere & Gnorognoro with Rocky as our tour guide and driver more so I would call him as our great host and a good friends . We had such wonderful conversations with him about local flora and fauna , cultural heritage and diversity. Rocky along with his team at Serengeti angata lodge and the Gnorognoro angata lodges took care of our special food needs . Our requirements of gluten free food and vegetarian meals was custom made to our likes. Every member of the team ensured we had our packed lunches especially the gluten free and vegetarian versions ready by 6am along with serving us hot hot breakfast. The tented lodges had full facilities with clean bathrooms and comfortable beds .
Overall more than five stars .

There is a very good reason why Suricata are the top safari company. From the start, Daniel our rep,
There is a very good reason why Suricata are the top safari company. From the start, Daniel our rep, organised everything perfectly. We did the 5 day camping safari, and i think we majorly lucked out with our guide Amari, i would rate him as possibly the #1 safari guide, driver, animal spotter and general legend. And of course we can't forget Tito our #1 chef, who fed us like kings and queens all week. These guys make you feel like you have been friends with them for years. I dont think our Safari would have been as good without Amari and Tito, they went above and beyond. 10 stars all round.

Suricata No.1 Safari Company
Absolutely enjoyed every second of our 5 day camping safari. Daniel our rep, made sure everything was set up and ready to go for us. It's so hard to choose a company for safari, but I'm completely convinced we went with the best. Amari our driver and guide was brilliant from start to finish. He could see animals a mile away, I still have no idea how. He is genuinely the nicest guy and we had great fun with him all week. Tito our chef was top notch too. A really great guy with a really great talent, creating the tastiest meals for us. I'm wondering if I can bring him home. All in all, I would recommend Suricata 100%. You will not regret it.

A fantastic experience
We have had the most incredible time here in the Serengeti with Suricata Safari on a 5 day trip.
From the moment we made contact, the company have been extremely professional, informative and organised.
We originally found Suricata online after reading lots of brilliant reviews, offering a safari that matched what we wanted really well.
Our guide, Ezekiel, was such a great person and knew so much about the animals and environment! He worked so hard all day driving us around, which meant we got to see so many things. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for our trip.
The accommodation was also really impressive, a mix of tented lodges and purpose built lodges, which were very comfortable, some of them being in the middle of the safari which was really special.
The food for lunch and at each place we stayed was lovely, a mix of set menus to choose from and buffet style options depending on the location. The staff were also incredibly kind and helpful.
Overall, we can’t wait to come back and do another tour again and would certainly choose Suricata as our tour provider.
They are amazing!!

Outstanding company
My husband and I chose to go with Suricata Safari for our honeymoon, and they made every part of it the most incredible experience we could ask for.
We originally had a Safari booked with another company in 2020 which got cancelled due to Covid and when we asked to rebook we were quoted more than double the price we originally paid for the same holiday. We got looking and came across Suricata who were great value for money and came with an astonishing amount of good reviews. We now understand why!
The food, accommodation, service, transport and communication, all of it was impeccable. Perfect in every way. Every person we encountered was friendly and professional, they truly do everything they can to make your experience amazing and the organising the company did to get us where we needed to be and on time was amazing, we had no worries in trusting them entirely and being stress free made every part of the trip that little bit more enjoyable.
Ezekiel was the real showstopper, we couldn’t be more grateful to have had him as our guide. His knowledge goes above and beyond what could be expected, he knows the answer to every and any question that you could ask. He worked tirelessly driving for hours and hours on end, doing everything that he could to ensure that we saw as much as we possibly could! You feel like you are travelling with a friend and yet we have learnt so much. We cannot wait to return and wouldn’t dream of looking at any other company. They say your wedding day is the best day of your life but it’s actually every day of your honeymoon when you book with Suricata safaris!!!

Amazing safari with dream stayoverd
Suricata safaris is real value for money.Found by my husband on search .Daniel and Halimat from this group who answered all our queries are excellent.Our driver and tour guide,Rocky was truly amazing- teaching us Swahili, setting up a lovely table top in the midst of the forests and providing perfect meals and coffee.The places to stay at night were comfortable getaways with lovely meals and helpful people.Seeing the large number of the big 5 of animals was once in a lifetime. A must visit for all with Suricata safaris of Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tangerine parks.
