Great experience would recommend
We booked a four day safari from Arusha to the Serengeti and wow were we impressed. Damian our driver was so friendly and made our experience that much better. We visited three national parks and saw the big five! Damian did not give up and gave us an experience he went above and beyond to ensure everything was okay. On arrival airport transport was ok time we swiftly moved to the jeep and made our way to the Serengeti. Even though our plans changed the company easily accommodated us and added in another national park! Would recommend and use the company again.

Good Organisation. Free Transfer. 100% recommend
We booked the low-budget 5-day trip as a couple with Suricata and are still overwhelmed by nature. The organization was great, from the pick-up at the airport to the end of the safari. Our guide Amiri and chef Pius were simply great. There was always freshly cooked food every day, even on the day trips at lunchtime. While other safari groups only had their standard packed lunches, we always had hot food which was based on European cuisine - thank you Pius!
Amiri our good guy guide knew a lot about the animals. You could simply ask him anything. Thanks again Amiri.
All was great. We can recommend Suricata Safaris 100%.

He was very knowledgeable and a good driver.
Our safari was wonderful! We saw so many animals and such beautiful scenery. The lodges that we stayed at were amazing and the service at them was top notch. I recommend the experience to anyone who is contemplating it.

Amazing!
We had an unforgettable time with Suricata.
The communication in advance and the organisation were great. Even the pick-up at the airport and subsequent briefing at the hotel by Daniel was smooth and uncomplicated. The next morning we started our trip with our guide Amiri. He drove us for hours through the Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and remained relaxed even in stressful situations (we got stuck in the mud). He was the only reason we saw so many animals and I will certainly never forget it.
We were cooked for by our chef Pius. We had no great expectations of what we would get and these were exceeded at every meal. The soups were amazing! I have to mention that there was always a hot meal for lunch too. With other safari providers we usually only saw lunch boxes.
We had booked a 5-day camping safari and accordingly spent every night in a tent on a campsite. The tent was huge and the mattresses were comfortable and clean. The campsites were also impressive and very comfortable.
All in all, thanks to Suricata, it was an unforgettable safari that we will probably never forget. I would recommend anyone to book through this operator.

Amazing, caring and fun staff!
We absolutely loved the safari with Rocky! He knew everything about all the animals we saw and spotted so many animals we never would have discovered without him! He’s a really fun guy and an amazing driver

The most memorable 4 days of my life
Just got back from the most memorable 4 days of my life, seeing all of the big 5 and millions more. I could not recommend Suricata Safaris and especially our amazing guide, Rocky more.
Suricata thought of everything and were super well organised. We were given a briefing the day before by Daniel who came to our hotel and explained how it was all going to work and what to do with our bags, what to bring, etc.
On the day, our guide Rocky met us and drove us in a really comfortable and well kitted out safari jeep. It had power onboard for charging devices and a fridge with cold water. We were initially worried the drives would feel long but there was so much to see along the way and Rocky provided loads of entertainment with facts and stories “remember, this is just the beginning” ;)
The camps we stayed at were surprisingly good. It really didn’t feel that budget at all and is a really nice way to feel more in touch with nature which is kind of the point. We even had a surprise visit from one of the big 5 at our camp.
I also need to thank our Chef, Musa for the amazing food. A lot of the other groups had pretty standard looking boxed lunches while we had pots of warm food with chicken, rice, veg, desert, drinks, all served on real plates with knives and forks. We felt pretty smug to say the least.
And when it comes to the animals, you couldn’t do a safari in a better place. We could not believe just how many animals you saw. The parks were huge as well so there was a really nice amount of peace where you were the only car there.
I would fully recommend Suricata tours to anyone and would like to say a huge thank you to Daniel, Musa and Rocky!

Once in a lifetime experience!!
Once in a lifetime experience! I could not recommend this more highly! We saw more animals than I could have imagined (including all of the big 5, thousands of wildebeest, zebras and giraffes, and many many more!). On top of this, the landscape was phenomenal! Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are all so different so this 4 day tour is so worth it!
Rocky, our guide, was incredible! So enthusiastic and so knowledgeable. He really made the trip special for us. Our chef, Musa, was fantastic - delicious food everyday. And the briefing from Daniel before the tour was so helpful. It felt well organised from start to finish.
We did the camping safari and the campsites were amazing. You felt so in touch with nature (we even saw an elephant at our final campsite), but very safe because of the knowledge of the incredible staff. I’ll be recommending Suricata to everyone I know!!

Amazing experience with a great guide/driver, very nice food and accommodation
It was an amazing experience! Our guide, Freddy, was so knowledgeable about everything related to the area and the animals and was always keen to provide us with all details. Great driving skills as well! Overall, maybe the best guide you can get. Also, the food provided to us was really nice. Last, Daniel helped a lot with his instructions before the beginning of the safari and was very kind and welcoming. 100% satisfied with Suricata Safaris.

Excellent
Suricata Safaris surpassed expectations! Daniel's insightful guidance helped our adventure. We truly appreciated Freddy, a stellar driver and Tanzania's nature ambassador, shared profound wildlife insights. Tom's cooking added a flavorful touch. Together, they crafted an exceptional journey, leaving us with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the wonders of Tanzania.
