Simply the best!
I had an amazing time. We saw all the big five and so many more animals! Wow!! Rasta was the best driver ever. He explained so many interesting things to us and I felt safe and sound all the time.
The food was very good and everyone was so sweet and lovely.

Exhausting but Great Experience
Our Safari with Suricata was a once in a lifetime experience we enjoyed a lot and definitely did not regret! We booked the 4 day mid range safari and we travelled with our 7 year old son.
Great about this trip was:
+ Terengire Park was the best start because we saw a lot of animals on our first day already, our son was so excited
+ We spend our first day in an old open safari vehicle - it seemed like an emergency solution because no other car was free but we enjoyed this a lot and it was way cooler than the other Cars
+ Serengeti and Ngorongoro are also definitely worth the trip and offered different landscapes and animals
+ All acomodations during the Safari were awesome, Boma Lodge was so special, and we also enjoyed staying in the middle of serengeti in Tanzania Bush Camp Simba - u fortunately I forgot the Name of the last accomodation but the staff in all of them were so nice as well as the food which was amazing
+ We felt close to nature and safe and welcome all the time during the Safari
+ We spend the last 3 days with our tour guide Alawi who was super morivated, kind,
had a lot to say about Tanzania, the region and the animals and most of all was really flexible to adjust the toor to our needs - best man! Our son loved him!
What could have been improved is the organisation around the tour by Suricata:
- We did not get any information from suricata regarding our airport pick up, didn‘t get any answers the day before arrival and indeed no one was at the airport to pick us up. Everybody was very friendly and tried to help at the airport, in the end we only waited 30 minutes and it all worked out. But still this is not the experience you want travelling with a kid. An e-Mail or WhatsApp shortly before arrival would have helped to feel better.
- The first briefing we got upon arrival would indeed have been helpful before, since it had some important packing Information: Bring long clothes, a scar for dust, tip for the driver (15-20 Dollar per Person per day), and the car only has space for luggage for 3 nights, the rest of your luggage Stars at the Hotel. Here as well: An e-mail before arrival would have helped.
- The hotel for the first and last night in Arusha was awful. We stayed at SG Resort, an information we also did not get in advance. The surrounding was so loud that we could not get any sleep before and after the Safari. During our last night a staff member even knocked our door close to midnight while we were already sleeping. They had miscalculated the bill for dinner and made us pay the difference in cash in the middle of the ight at the door in our pyjamas. Don‘t stay here if you don’t want to start or finish your Safari tired!
- What was also not communicated properly in advance is that you spend hours in the car on bumpy roads to get to your game drive and to your accommodations. For us it was fine but travelling with Kids you should definitely know there will be 2-4h extra time in the car additional to the actual Safari. If you have problems with motion sickness, bring medicine

Fantastic experience
We used Suricata for a 4 day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro. Our guide Amiri worked hard to deliver a fantastic experience & made sure we learned lots about Tanzanian wildlife.

10 out of 10 Safari company in Tanzania
The experience with Suricata Safaris was just perfect.
We visited 3 parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengueti. It was a lifetime experience.
We saw more than 30 species including the Big 5. The possibility of seeing the animals in their natural habitat with so much respect for them is something I appreciate a lot. We never interfered in their life habits or chased them like it happened in other safaris I have made.
Thanks to Ecky who was the most amazing driver we could imagine. He is an expert of the land, animals and culture. Always patient, always respectful and always making us feeling at home every day, with a smile in his face.
Special mention as well to Alawi our second driver of the group for his kindness and for tacking care of us every moment. Thanks to Tito our chef, the food every day was amazing and he took a lot of care about my intolerances every day.
Thanks to the rest of the group that every day assembled and disassembled the camp for us, so when we arrived everything was ready.
I think Suricata Safari you are doing many things well.
Please keep taking care of your staff, because they are amazing.
Thank you ❤️

Calm, relaxed and very skilled driver, exellent tour guide.
Exellent safari tour, with accommodation in tents in different camps during the trip. Very good food for both breakfest, lunch and dinner every day. Amazing to see all the wild animals up close in the wild. Our tour guide, Charles, was a very skilled tour guide, who was able to show us all of the animals the different areas had to offer.

Proffesional, relaxing and a great tour guide. He knows the animals, and will find everything.
This is a great safari tour, very professional. We saw all the animals we hoped to sea and more. The food is very good, and it is exciting living in the camping tents. The service is perfect.

The safari was wonderful—everything was incredible! It was well-organized, the food was very good, and the tent accommodation was perfectly adequate.
