Excellent choice for beginner safaris.
This was our first safari. Transfers from Moshi to jump-off point went smoothly. We stayed overnight in Gateway lodge and then drove to the safari start point early the following morning. Our guide was Max and our cook was Salim. Both were excellent. We entered the parks via Ngorogoro and drove on to Serengeti. We had a 3 hour game drive on the first day and saw plenty of animals. The safari Land Cruiser was extremely comfortable even over the bumpy tracks. We were in a group of 6 which is just the right size for safari. We camped in tents overnight after a very good meal. The next morning we did a long game drive after breakfast. We saw cheetahs and leopards, both of which are difficult to find. After lunch we headed back to Ngorogoro to camp overnight. The camp had a spectacular view of the crater. Another great dinner followed by a night time visit of zebras. The next morning we did a game drive of the crater, which was spectacular. After the game drive we had lunch and then transferred back to Moshi.
Service from Max, Salim and everyone else was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful, including assisting with locating a misplaced phone. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Tent camping was a greasy way to feel closer to the animals and nature. Salim’s cooking was fantastic and all the meals were tasty and plentiful. Finally, transfers from and to Moshi were all very smooth.
For such an unforgettable experience, with everything very well managed, I am very happy to recommend Suricata Safaris.

Very nice safari with wonderful people!
We did a 5 day safari with Suricata Safaris some weeks ago.
It was our first safari so we (family of 4) were really exited what it would bring. We had a jeep for 6 people so 2 others joined us which was fine.
Our driver/guide was Vincent. He was an excellent driver and knew a lot about the animals. Salim was our cook for these 5 days. With the limited resources they have, it as amazing what he could cook for us. We had even lasagna and pizza on our tour.
We started with Tarangire NP on day 1. This is an amazing park where we saw already many animals among which was the Cheeta. We slept the first night at Twiga which is a nice camping/bungalow park with small shop and swimming pool.
The next day we had a long trip via the Ngorongoro crater to Serengeti NP. It was a long drive with not that much so seen on they way there. In Serengeti we did a bit of game drive. In the evening we slept on Pimbi public campsite. There was only a toilet building and a kitchen building, but it was real nice. A giraffe was welcoming us on the campsite when we arrived. All these days we slept in tents on a matrasses with sleeping bag. The next day was a full day game drive in Serengeti which was really amazing. We saw a lot of elephant's, giraffes, zebras, water buffels, gazelles, antelope's etc. At the end we drove back to Ngorongoro crater to the Simba campsite. This is what bigger with more buildings. When we woke up also here a giraffe did great us. After breakfast we went into the crater and saw many lions and water buffels. In this time of the year a rhino is almost impossible to spot, which we didn't but didn't matter, it was nice anyway. Also some nice birds we could spot. At the end we drove back to Twiga campsite and could take a nice dip in the pool. The last day was lake Manyara, this was in our opinion the least park. A lot of monkeys we did see there.
It was for us a great experience and we did see a lot more than we had expected. Also the change in nature was stunning.
As a tip if you go camping, take enough toilet paper because sometimes it ran out on the camp sites.
Our experience was really great and we would recommend Suricata to everyone who want to do a safari!!!!!!!!!

Very good no Problems! The guide was friendly and had a lot of experience
It was a great experience and we were so happy with the whole tour! Our driver was very experienced and showed us every time the animals from the best places. It felt like he has a sense for what way the animal’s are going to walk.
At one time a lion was like 2 meters close to our car that was my highlight.

Amazing safari tour (4 days 3 nights)
We had an amazing safari journey with Rocky, who is a very interesting and funny guide. This 4 days 3 nights safari trip was beyond our expectations. We saw dozens of animals (including 4 out of 5 of the big fives), on the most beautiful parks near Arusha. The food was excellent (thanks to Tito our cooker during these 4 days), the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and our guide was more than excellent! I strongly recommend Suricata 100% !

Amazing safari with Suricata
We booked the 4-day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire with 3 nights in tents. Our guide was Rocky and he was the best we could have: nice, funny, very experienced, he knows everything you want to know about Tanzanian wildlife and culture. He was always trying to please us and this made the journey memorable. The food by our cook Tito was amazing too, one of the best food we have had in Tanzania so far. He was also adorable and nice. The safari in itself did not disappoint, the landscapes and animals were mind blowing. We would recommend 100% going with Suricata. And if you do, ask for Rocky and Tito, you won’t be disappointed !
Bettee than expected
We did a 2 days safari in Tarangire - Lake Manyara parks. Hilary and our guide Edgar were more than kind and nice. Everything we requested was respected. A very professional team : timings were respected, food was very delicious and game drives were very good ! We were very satisfied of this operator.
Best safari ever with Suricata
Amazing Safari with Suricata.
Thanks all the team. They are very professional and efficient. Everything was very well organized.
You get much more than you expect.
Our guide Fredy was an incredible teacher and perfect guide and driver. We enjoined so much, have laughs and learn a lot. He was taking us to the best spots to have the best wildlife views, and always caring about our needs. It was like to be at home in the middle of the nature.
I would choose Suricata for any experience in Tanzania

Excellent service, friendly and professional, no problems.
I did a 5-day camping safari trip with them and all I can say is: this was one of the best experiences of my life. A once-in-a-lifetime type of adventure. Everything from A to Z was perfect - there was never a problem. Lewis was our guide/driver and was very relaxed, friendly and informative. Salim was the cook and he honestly exceeded all expectations. I felt like a queen, everything was taken care of.
Camping was very comfortable, tents were big and clean, the camping mattress was good and sleeping bags were clean and warm. Be aware that the camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro is among the buffalos, zebras and elephants - an experience in itself!
We saw so many animals and so many scenes that could have been in a nature documentary. If you like birds, a safari tour is also amazing. I highly recommend Suricata for your safari tour!!

Best Safari ever!
I booked a 4 days Safari with Suricata.
Me and my partner arrived from Italy to Kilimanjaro and everything was arranged by the company, included the transfer from the airport and the hotel before and after the Safari.
Every member of Suricata team was extremely professional. We had the chance to get in touch with so many people from its stuff.
Our Safari was with camping accomodation in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I think the camping is the best way to live the experience at its best.
Our guide was Rockie, and we were so lucky! He is such an experienced guide, he is also funny, friendly and entertaining.
He always wants the best for his clients, so the game drive hours with him were very amazing. He always tries to get the best point of view to see as close as possible the animals. He always tries to make his clients as comfortable as possible. He arranged also Masai Tour and Walking Safari in Mto Wa Mbu with wine and beer banana tasting! You really do have everything you can imagine! Our chef was Tito, and he cooked for us several delicious hot meals. Every meal was different from the previous one, and so much food was ready for us every time!
The experience was amazing, and I will raccomend Suricata to everyone who wants to do a Safari.
Relax and enjoy your Safari!
