A perfect experiencie
We had one of the best experiences of our lives! Extremely professional, we were picked up at the airport by Suricata's Safari car, excellent and comfortable! We were privileged to have the best guide of all, Ezekiel, extremely helpful, polite and competent. He took us safely to all the hot spots to see all the animals we wanted. The accommodations (Lodge and camps) were perfect, very comfortable and clean. Excellent food! We were very well received and treated at all times, in a happy and contagious way. I have no words to describe what we experienced in those 5 days. Thank you very much!

Great Accommodations, Saw Many Cats
My partner and I did the 5 day Great Safari Tour of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. If we had to skip one with the fewest animal signings for us it would be lake Manyara. In September dry season between Serengeti and Ngorongoro we must have seen over 10 lions, 2 cheetah, about 4 jaguar. Serengeti is the peak.
Tour is nice, do not do the camping option, the next tier up the "Great" package is much better value. Suricata somewhat frustratingly changed hotels frequently from what we were quoted, the Suricata Bomba Lodge is 10/10 hence the 5 star rating. In Serengeti the Tent Lodge is a cool experience.
Tips: Suricata is good I would go with them again maybe the 4 day without Manyara. It gets so dusty on safari, bring a way to protect your camera and binocs. Don't be afraid to ask your driver to move for a better angle if you are trying to take a nice photo.

Rocky is the best tour guide, informative, smart, passionate, funny, attentive and very capable.
Great price and affordable! Camping was much better than I expected and could shower every day. Felt safe. Food was so good. The animal siting was crazy cool and bucket list. This is the first part of the honeymoon!

The best all around experience!
Great service all around! They picked us up from the airport and took us right to our hotel in Arusha.
On the safari, our guide, Rocky, was the man! Very friendly, super cool, and we learned a lot from him! He was a great driver, and was not afraid to move the Land Cruiser to help us get the best shot of the animals. He also knew exactly where to find all the animals we wanted to see!
I was also really impressed with the food they served us! Every meal was gourmet and delicious! Even lunches, were a fully stocked picnic where most other companies give you just a box lunch.
This was the best experience all around!

amazing 2 days safari tour
We had an incredible 2 days safari tour with Suricata to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the start, Daniel gave us a clear and well-organized itinerary, which made everything flow smoothly. Our guide, Mr. Golden, was exceptional, his knowledge of the area and the wildlife was unmatched, and he consistently took us to the best spots ahead of the crowds, allowing us to have a more intimate experience with the animals. The meals provided during the trip were delicious, thanks to the chef. We absolutely loved our time and can't wait to return for more tours with Suricata. Highly recommended!

Great safari experience with Suricata Safaris!
The safari arrangements by Suricata were very professional. Even though our arrival flight was delayed, the communication with Suricata worked out and they were waiting for us at the airport. Accommodation worked out well in Arusha, Suricata Boma Lodge as well as in Angata Tented lodges in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Suricata Boma Lodge was particularly nice! The food was great in all of these places and in our picknick lunches. Our guide Elias was great and had a very good eye for animals. Definitely recommend their services to anyone. Thank you Suricata Safaris!

Amazing!
A wonderful 5 day safari with Suricata and a great group of people! Mandela, our guide, shared his extensive knowledge and appreciation of nature! He worked tirelessly to make sure we had the best time and saw all the animals including the big 5. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Mandela & Suricata!

Superb service. Superb safari.
An awesome experience. Mandela, our guide, helped us to see the Big 5 and was a source of all the information we needed. Indeed an expert. Accommodation and food were great. Suricata Boma Lodge is special. Each of the parks is different but fascinating. Would love to go it again.

Have a great day
Great 4 day tour. The guides and the animals all worked out and gave us unforgettable memories. We could switch Manyara with Tarangire a day before and continued our journey to Serengeti.
One problem arose, the communication for our pickup the first two days was not great. We waited at the bus stop coming from Mombo and did not know when our tour continues after our first day. All in all we were a little lost, but the friendly and capable staff member or guides around us helped out.
It was a real pleasure that when we addressed this communication gap, that we received understanding, recognition and professional apology.
So no worries - Hakuna Matata - even if something goes south Suricata as a team can handle it.
