An amazing experience in Tanzania
Suricata Safaris was an amazing company that made our time in Tanzania very special! Mandela was a great driver and guide, he was always punctual, he drives safely and gave us many important informations about the wildlife in Tanzania and their culture. The food was delicious all days and the accommodations in camp sites were comfortable. We spent a great time in Tanzania! I really recommend Suricata Safaris.

Absolutely amazing
the organization of the safari was excellent. From the first contact, they answered all our doubts. The campsites were great, especially Twiga (excellent structure) and Ngorongoro (one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen). The meals were absolutely delicious, Steven our chef was incredible. Our guide Mandela was always very attentive and provided precious information about the animals and the region. Even though our group didn't get along well, Mandela tried his best to please us the entire time. I highly recommend Suricata!

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience with Surricata Safari. We spent quality time with Bryson as driver/guide in both Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The trip was supplemented by exceptional food prepared by chef Pius. Highly recommended for whoever considers seeing wildlife in real life!

The perfect way to visit the best of Tanzania
Excellent tour! Everything was on the highest standard: transport, accommodation, food, driver and the views.
If you're planning to see the best Tanzania has to offer, I recommend Suricata Safari :)

The best of Tansania with Suricata
We went on the Kilimanjaro tour and did a 5 day safari.

The safari was awesome. Very luxurious camping delicious food and Mandela (guide) and James (chef) took great care of us.

Hakuna matata 😊
Before my departure, Daniel served as our briefing guide, giving us a comprehensive overview of what to expect during our journey. He also took the time to show me around the city, adding a nice touch of local flavor to my adventure.
The safari was made even more memorable by Bryson and James, whose expertise and hospitality greatly enhanced our experience. The food throughout the tour was delicious, offering a taste of the local cuisine that was nothing short of amazing. The wildlife sightings were spectacular, living up to the promise of an authentic safari experience. Additionally, the quality of the jeeps was top-notch, ensuring that our travels were comfortable and safe across the varied terrains.
Even after the safari Daniel came to see everyone and check if everything was alright. There was nothing I could say was bad. The hotel before and after the tour are great as well.

Suricata in itself is a Tanzania travelog
A Photographer's Dream
This was my first safari in Africa and Suricata made it an amazing experience.
From the bookings handled by Tizia, to the guide Max and chef Tito, everything was top notch .
Our guide Max was friendly, well versed, and helped us take in some amazing views of the Tarangire national park, the Serengeti
the Ngorongoro Crater, and the lake Manyara National Park.
What made the trip even more enjoyable was interacting with Max
about his love for the environment and how passionate he is about nature.
Chef Tito made us look forward to everydays' meals on the safari and in the camps.
On the last day to Lake Manyara we were transferred to another company vehicle ( Travel Africa) which was slightly more comfortable than Suricata's.
It was a newer vehicle and had a portable refrigerator with beer, soda and water.
Suricata needs some improvement on this front.
Overall a great experience.

Wonderful
Thanks to Safari tours for giving us a wonderful experience. From the beginning everything was very easy with them, the communication, the organization, the staff, the transportation, the meals, the stay, the tour guide, especially the knowledge and attitude of the guide who made our safari the best, we were able to see all the animals we expected and even more. We learned a lot and had fun every day. A 100% recommended company. We are sure that in the future we will do another safari with them.

great food, knowledgeable guides, seamless logistics, affordability, kind people, amazing views
This truly was the best travel experience of my life. Communication with the company was easy and quick. This was followed by a seamless airport pick-up (despite a change in travel plans 24 hours before). Daniel gave us a tour of Arusha on the day before our safari, which included a visit to a local restaurant, a visit to the biggest art gallery in Tanzania, a guided tour of the market, and more! He was so nice and personable and tailored his tour to our interests. We then did a 5 day safari which exceeded all of my expectations. Our guide, Edgar, was able to answer every question we asked him. He communicated with the other guides to help us find every animal I hoped to see. And we got so close! He knew exactly how to angle the car to get the best views. The variety of parks, animals, and landscapes is unmatched. We elected the least expensive camping option for accommodation (one of the most affordable safari packages we could find!). The washing facilities were clean and even had hot water. The tents came with sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and pillows which were surprisingly comfortable. The views from the campsite were amazing—one overlooking the Serengeti with giraffes walking through the sunset and one overlooking the Ngorongo crater with the worlds most beautiful fig tree in the center. At night we heard the buffalo grazing nearby. The last campsite also had a pool. Finally, the food. It was delicious!!! Three hot meals a day prepared by our talented chef Tito. Each meal included fresh fruit and vegetables. My friend and I are vegetarian and there were so many options for us. My favorite dishes included vegetarian lasagne, breakfast pancakes, leek soup, and roasted potatoes. At dinner, a bottle of wine was provided as well. It was also so fun meeting fellow travelers from across the world on our tour. To sum it up, this was an incredible experience and I have zero complaints. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for great food, knowledgeable guides, seamless logistics, unrivaled value for money, kind people, and an unforgettable vacation :)
