A trip of a lifetime
We had a great 5 day tour with Surigata. The booking was made via email and everything was organized in a timely manner. Also, Hillary, the manager, was always fast with answering our questions. The tour included the airport transfers, all meals during the safari and a double room in nicely selected hotels or lodges. The highlight of the tour (besides the parks and all the animals) was our guide Mandela! He knew always where to go and was able to explain a lot about the habits of the different animals.
All in all, it was a fantastic trip that we will remember for a long time!

Amazing safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I had an amazing safari experience with Suricata travels. They offered among the best prices we found, and they were really helpful with everything - they answered all our questions, helped us when we arrived in Arusha and offered us lodging.
During the safari we had "Rocky" as a guide and "Musse" as a chef (I don't quite know how to spell their names) , and they did an excellent job! Rocky made sure we were having a good time, and took us around Serengeti and Ngorongoro and to the camps. He was always ready to give us interesting information about the different animlas of the parks. We ended up seeing plenty of lions, giraffes, cheetas, leopards, elephants, flamingos, hippos and many many more animals!
Musse cooked great food, and most dishes somehow tasted familiar, even though I had them for the first time, so he certainly knows how to cook for people from all over the world!
I can recommend Suricata Travels to anyone looking for a safari experience. They will make sure to give you an experience you won't forget!

Amazing experience in Kilimanjaro region
We've done a full day activity with the guide Mr T and I can just say we had a perfect day. We started with a walk from the Materuni village to the waterfall, a beautiful trail surrounded by bananas tree and coffee farms. Then we went back to the village where we saw how the locals produce coffee and we could try ourselves, and in the end we would drink the fresh coffee they just toasted and roasted. They also cooked an amazing lunch using the local ingredients and it was so tasty! We finished the day in the Hot springs, a beautiful place to have a swim and refresh after a long day. Mr T was very helpful all the time, he is very nice, calm and know a lot about the region. I highly recommend the activity and him as a guide.

Great local coffee tour and waterfall walk!
We had a great day with Mr T as our guide, he took us to a small coffee farm where we could prepare a cup of coffee from scratch (starting with the coffee berry). Very unique and local experience! We also hiked to the waterfall which was gorgeous. The walk was relatively short but really beautiful, you’re in the middle of the forest.
We finished the day at the hot springs which was a prefect way to relax and finish the day! The hot springs were an added extra.

Ezekiel was an expert guide in every way and an encyclopedia on every animal fact we asked him.
Suricata Safaris is the best safari experience one could hope for. The food was great and showcased local specialties, with a nice 3 square meals a day and multiple 1.5L water bottles provided daily. Over the 5 days I spent with our expert guide Ezekiel, I saw every animal I could’ve imagined, regardless of how rare I imagined some sightings could be. He got us very close to elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, etc. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, even the tents have full functioning electricity, bathrooms and nice beds inside. Ezekiel had answers to every animal question we asked and taught me some Swahili along the way! The communications were super friendly and clear with both the general email prior to the trip, and during the trip, and also they welcome any questions even after you’ve parted ways with your guide for anything about the lay of the land in Tanzania.
10/10 will recommend to everyone I know, and will contact them when I plan another safari trip.

Excellent, top tier tour operator
This safari exceeded my expectations. All the parks were fantastic, the food was incredible and the lodges were very comfortable. Coming from Canada was a long flight and they made the booking and our stay flawless. Ezekiel was our guide and he was excellent. I highly recommend him and this company.

Extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind and overall surpassed all my expectations.
This experience far surpassed any of my wildest expectations. Just got back from the safari and telling everyone about Suricata already!
Great accommodations, food, guides and staff. We got to see everything that we had hoped to see and explore some of the nicest national parks in the world.
I cannot recommend Suricata and Ezekiel enough. This is the safari you should book if you are planning to take the trip of a lifetime.

Exciting 3days Safari experience.
Me and my partner had a very exciting 3 day Safari experience.
Most of communication was through mails and WhatsApp but responses were always good and very helpful.
Pick up from Kilimanjaro airport was smooth and the driver waited for me although I was late to get my travel entry visa.
Our guide James was professional and knew where to find the animals. He also had seemed to have good relationship with other guides enabling him to collect always good information to spot lots of animals.
Tents used for the accommodation were good and the served food was always delicious, considering the limited cooking options out in the nature.
We really enjoyed the tour. Thank you !
