Reviews
The tour operator was knowledgeable, well spoken, respectful, patient and fun.
With hundreds of safari companies to choose from, we were lucky we chose Suricata. From the moment we first contacted them, they worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was taken care of.
Our guide Frederick was incredible, and made being in the wild so comfortable with his care and deep knowledge of the animals. And our chef, Chaz, worked around the clock making us delicious meals ever day.
For those afraid of coming to Tanzania because of COVID 19, do not worry, the country and all of its attractions are open and ready for you.

We have always had the best views!
Since years already i have been sending all my friends, couchsurfers and visitors with the Suricata Safaris on adventure and never anybody complained. The communication is at anytime excellent and everything happens in time. This time it were my parents visiting me from germany to go with me and my friends to Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Tarangire to have the full african feeling in tents. So it was very important to me that everything would be perfect. And it was! It was more than ever expected! Our Tourguide Mandela has been doing an amazing job. Even in critical situations he was able to lead our group of 6 people through in total safty! We had kids with us and sometimes if you are very close to the giant animals its important to keep calm. In addition under all safari cars we always had by far the best views on the animals really close to us due to our guide. Also we have to thank our cook Ben for the delicious food we got every day freshly prepared and for being every time very happy and in a good mood. The kids loved him so much!
My parents are super impressed about our adventure and super super happy here in Tanzania thanks the Suricata Safaris. My father found it very educational for all, the kids and us. And i am most happy about the professionality of Mandela, which provided us safty at all times. But also he was super brave. As close as we got to really big Elefants and even a Leopard we all were scared to death but Mandela was still relaxed to indicate us to enjoy the moment! We really really did! Big thanks to the whole team from us! We will never forget the nights together with the baffalos, lions and hyennas at night! It was stunning and magic!

Amazing experience, very safe
We just ended our 5-days Safari as one of the first guests after Covid-19 Lockdown (25-29 July 2020). Life is like normal in Tanzania/Arusha and they are really happy to welcome tourists again. For care of health they have buckets with clear water, soap and sanitizers to clean your hands everywhere. On our Safari every Hotel or Lodge welcomed us with face masked and they checked our temperatur. They are making efforts for everyone to stay safe. But if you dont mind, you dont have to wear face masks.
We really enjoyed our safari with our guide Florid. He really cared about everyone on our Tour to be happy and safe. Also I think 5-days is not to long for a safari. We enjoyed it until the last day! We slept in a Lodge and two Tended Lodges. They were really beautiful and on europian standards.
Asante Sana Suricata!!

Great hospitality
We picked Suricata Safaris for our Tanzania trip, 5 nights (budget).
Safari in Tanzania and were super satisfied!, communication Hillary is extremely fast, he accommodated all our needs and answered all our questions. No hidden fees, there is an extra night at Arusha Gateaway lodge at the start and end of the tour and pickvupand drop off at the airport included, so it is completely satisfactory!
Our guide Lewis and our cook Salim were exvellent, never pushy or stressful, and always up for just that little bit extra that makes your safari perfect! We saw everything (especialy big 5 ), and it was an amazing experience! Food was great and plentiful! The stop atMaasai village is completely optional, and you don't have to do it if your group decides against it. We were also pleasantly suprised by the overnight in campsites in Serengeti (Nguchiro camp) and the crater (simba camp) - the bathroom facilities were cleaned all the time. Thanks Lewis and Salim if i come to Tanzania i will choose this tour company with their team.

4 unvergessliche Tage
Die Safari war super und hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Unglaublich viele Tiere aus nächster Nähe. Kann ich absolut weiterempfehlen. Alles war gut organisiert und hat super geklappt. Auch vegetarisches Essen war kein Problem. 4 unvergessliche Tage. Warme Kleidung nicht vergessen, da es Nachts kalt wird.
