Best overall value, highly recommend
From airport pickup, the 5 days experience and to drop off, the personal is just amazing. Our tour guide Fredy is so knowledgeable and knows about everything. Accommodations were nice, lodges were amazing and tented lodge was another great experience, very safe and special. All the food was delicious, always warm food freshly cooked by the chef and we even got some pizza from the magic oven. Highly recommend Suricata who is putting clients first by providing quality services. Thank you for making our stay special and memorable.

Great safari, perfect from start to finish
Brilliant safari. It was perfect with our guide Silas and the food cooked by the chef Saleem was delicious and extremely filling. We were never hungry or short of water and we seen all the animals we wanted, including rhino and a leopard. The only thing would be to bring warm clothes for the second night on the crater but otherwise perfect and thanks for everything! And the airport transfer and hotel arrangements were made completely hassle free.

We were wishless happy with Suricata!
How do we start? We were searching for a company and choosed because of the recommendations. Would I choose a different company when we are back in Tansania? Definitely not! Traveling with Vincent (Guide) and Tito (Cook) from Suricata was one of the best decisions we made in our Vacation.
We were so lucky and we have seen all the animals! Asante Sana!

Great Safari tour, experienced guide and coordinator!
The Safari was great! Hilary was extremely accommodating, including a few changes I requested last minute, and everything was on point. He even was answering fast and giving recommendations at all times on the day. Food was amazing all throughout, and the service was optimal. We managed to see all big five thanks to our guide Floridi, and so so so many lions. Serengeti is amazing for sure. Met also really cool people in the tour, specially for someone traveling solo. I highly recommend this tour to anyone else interested in traveling here.

Very good agency, perfect value for money
Very good agency, good communication, fair prices (they also accept euros instead of dollars), everything is included in the price. The food was very tasty and in good quantities, the car was comfortable, the tents are nice (it’s big and you can stand up in it). Serengeti and Ngorongoro camp sites are super, the one in Mto Wa Mbu is not so nice (you are in a garden of the city) but they are working on it. It is all well organized. Also, they offer you the transfer to airport, even if you don’t leave right after the safari but few days after, which is very appreciated !
The only reco I can do is for pillows, you should ask people to keep their pillowcase (or to have different colors as for the sleeping bags) so it doesn’t get mixed between people.
I do recommend Suricata Safari ! Very good value for money.

4 days with Vincent
Great safari from start to finish. Vincent was a very knowledgeable guide who had eyes like an eagle. The 4 day tour offers up a little taste of everything but also provides a lot of game viewing time as well.

Suricata made a dream of a lifetime come true
I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Suricata safaris took care of everything for us, including airport pickup and initial accommodation in Arusha. The whole experience was well organised. All the camping facilities had showers and good size double tents. Suricata safaris provides mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows. The food was abundant and very good, including a selection of vegetables, rice or pasta and meat with every meal. Water was always readily available and wine was included with dinner. Vincent was a lovely guide, always with a smile on his face! His driving and spotting abilities were second to none! In just four days we were lucky enough to see the big 5 plus a cheetah and a lion cub!! Mainly thanks to Vincent’s eagle eyes… 10/10 would definitely recommend! Highly suggest to bring binoculars. Communication was timely and precise throughout.

Absolutely recommendable safari with delicious food, great guide and the chance to see the Big Five!
Our 4-day safari through the world-famous Serengeti Park, Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with Suricata Safaris was absolutely breathtaking. Not only that we saw all the Big Five and much more thanks to Vincent - who by the way is an absolutely gorgeous and relaxed guide with extremely good eyes - but also everything around it just harmonized perfectly. I was more than convinced by the food, because as a vegetarian I was already afraid that there would only be meat. This was not the case, there was a lot of vegetarian. Whether it was the pancakes for breakfast, the pasta or the quiche, it all tasted very good. The whole crew had everything under control at the campsites, took care of everyone's needs and it was a great experience to camp among the roar of lions and eating zebras.
Also the communication with Hillary, who explained everything important to us in advance was great. I can only recommend it to everyone to go on safari with Suricata Safaris.

Great experience and very well organised 5-day group safari
We had a great 5-day mid-range group safari where we saw many exciting animals.
The communication upfront was quick and clear. They explain the different options and provide helpful suggestions. In the end we combined the safari with a day trip to mataruni (which we also liked a lot). They took care of everything from the moment we arrived at the airport until we took the bus the day after the safari to Dar es salaam (including the hotel stays before, after and between the trips, the airport pickup, assistance with buying a bus ticket and the transport to the bus station the day we left).
Our guide during the safari was Frederick and he was very good. He was respectful to the animals and other tourists while ensuring good views of the animals. He also has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the nature and is a nice guy.
The accommodations were also really good, especially during the safari. It is a great experience to sleep in a tent in Serengeti and ngorogoro with all the animals close by.
