Unforgettable memories
We had a great experience with our driver, Lute. He was professional, friendly, reliable, and very helpful throughout our trip. He made us feel safe and comfortable on the road and was always happy to share his knowledge and answer our questions. We spotted all Big 5. We really appreciated his positive attitude and excellent service. Highly recommended

Rastaman - Best of the Best!
I have already reviewed the actual safari from Suricata, which was an exceptional experience and earned 5 stars. But, what made this an over-the-top memorable safari for me was our guide Rastaman! I have been in the travel and tourism industry for many years so I have a lot of experience with tour operators and guides and have never met anyone like Rastaman. And how lucky for us that he was our guide! Yes, all the basics were seen to but Rasta made everything more special. He taught us about the wildlife, the native trees and plants, and the culture. We learned how to use certain plants for medicine, how the climate changes, and how the animals adapt to it, and how everything is related. I could go on and on. It was an amazing experience. So much more than simply driving around to see wildlife. He brought everything to life for us with genuine warmth, generosity, and kindness. He had me wanting to stay longer and then come back again for more. Any company would be lucky to employ Rastaman and I will be sure to follow him whenever I plan to return to Tanzania. Rastaman was an unexpected gift which added so much to an already wonderful life experience.

An incredible experience!
We booked a 5-day safari covering Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
We saw many animals up close. We managed to spot the "Big Five," including the elusive leopard.
The staff's service was outstanding. Pascal, our guide, was always focused on ensuring we enjoyed ourselves; he actively searched for animals and taught us about them. He explains things with passion and expertise, and we learned a lot from him. I appreciate how he constantly strove to show us as many animals as possible and patiently answered the endless questions we asked. I also want to highlight Lucas, who ensured we were as comfortable as possible at the camp every day. He is a fantastic chef, every meal was hearty and delicious.
I recommend spending at least two nights in the Serengeti to truly enjoy this vast park, as the drives between camps can be long. Also, if you choose to visit Tarangire, make sure it is the first stop on your itinerary.
I am incredibly grateful to Suricata!
A note on what to avoid: I do not recommend the Maasai village visit. Fortunately, our group skipped it after hearing unpleasant accounts from others who had gone; they told us the Maasai were only interested in asking for money and selling handicrafts at exorbitant prices.
Regarding the Jevas Hotel, where we stayed for two nights: the breakfast was very basic. One afternoon at the restaurant, we ordered coffee, and—after paying for it—we had to prepare it ourselves (yes, they simply gave us a thermos of hot water and a packet of instant coffee). It is a shame that the hotel falls short of expectations, as it reflects poorly on the service provided by Suricata.

Friendly, safe driver, knows the area well and always adapts to his clients’ interests.
The guide is very friendly, drives safely, knows the area very well, and does his best to adapt the experience to the interests and preferences of his clients. We saw so many animals, including the Big Five and many more, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Excellent in all aspects. Made the experience for us unique.
The experience was really amazing. The tour operator was very well organised and focussed on customers to get the best experience possible. The Safari driver (Gerard) was very nice, helpful, constantly trying to give us the best experience possible, whilst explaining wildlife on the go.
Highly recommended, both the tour operator and the driver.

Anton had great hospitality!
We had such a great experience with Suricata Safari and would absolutely recommend them. We initially chose the company because the pricing was very reasonable, but the experience ended up being much better than we expected.
Our guide, Anton, really made the trip special. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and seemed to have an almost unbelievable ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed. He was also very patient and never made us feel rushed, whether we wanted to stop for photos, take a break, or just spend a little longer watching an animal.
We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including many of the animals we had hoped to see before coming to Tanzania. Anton also gave us so much interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, which made the game drives much more meaningful than simply seeing the animals from the vehicle.
Everything about the safari felt well organized, and we always knew what to expect for the day. It was an unforgettable experience, and we were very impressed with both Suricata and Anton. I would definitely book with them again!

Anton was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating!
We booked with Suricata primarily because of the competitive prices and good reviews. We had Anton as our guide and he exceeded our expectations. He clearly communicated the plan for the day each day, made sure we stopped when anyone needed a restroom break (or coffee), and most importantly we were able to see all the animals we were expecting to see on safari, and more. Anton also answered all of our questions about animals behavior. We highly recommend this tour.
