Amazing!
We had an amazing experience with Suricata Safari! Ali, who organized our trips, was very nice and made time to personally meet with us before and after the trip to answer any questions or concerns. He made it easy for us by planning everything out so that we would have plenty of time in each park.
Our guide Lewis was so sweet and welcoming and very knowledgeable about the animals, the land, and the indigenous tribes. We felt very safe in his hands!
Salim also had a very welcoming presence and was an amazing chef who would cook delicious fresh Tanzanian meals everyday day!
They both had such a fun, calm, and positive personality that made our experience unforgettable!

Great Safari
We did the 4D safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The safari was really great, lots of animals. Big thanks to Mandela for being a great guide and Tito for the best food in Tanzania.

Suricata Safaris is a very well-organized tour operator with very friendly staff.
We did a 4-day-safari organized by Suricata. The planning by e-mail was very uncomplicated and the organizer accommodated our requests which were a bit different from the proposed programme. The safari was a great experience which we will never forget. Our guide James did everything to create an unforgettable trip for us. We were also accomplished by a chef who prepared meals for us three times a day. All in all, Suricata Safaris was very well-organized and we had a great time with very friendly and courteous people so that I can only recommend Suricata Safaris.
One of the best we could think of!
It's been an excellent and outstanding experience! The whole tour was absolutely well organized, including transfers, cooking and one of the best (and most experienced) guide you can think of. We've seen so many various places and animals that it'll take some time to realize all that. Many thanks to the whole Surikata-Team, especially to our cook and our Guide, King 007 James! You all made our holidays a once in a lifetime experience!

Secure, welcoming and just great !!
I recommend Suricata to anyone who’s willing to go to Tanzania for a Safari in Arusha. Solo (man or woman), as a couple or with your family, you are going to have a really great experience. I took a 4 days Safari tour and I had the chance to see the big five and all sorts of animals. In a group of 6 like I was, you also get the chance to meet great people during the safari and make new friends. Moreover, we had a cook with us and we had the chance to eat warm food during the lunch. The food was always very tasty.
Also if you take the lodges, they’re really comfortable and the staff is always so welcoming. It was the best decision to take lodges as they’re so worth the price you’re paying for them.
I found Suricata very professional, it exceeded my expectations (and my expectations are high lol). I made lifetime memories.

Made the most of every game drive.
The whole process was smooth with Suricata; from booking through final transfer to return home. The driver made sure we saw the most diverse pool of animals possible while avoiding the crowds. Food was always tasty.

Extremely professional, knowledgeable and FUN!
It was real life Lion King!
3 days / 2 nights with Surricata exceeded expectations on every level. From beginning to end, the trip was extremely well organised, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and fun, and the hotel we stayed in the night before the safari was perfect for what we needed. I should also mention that Surricata picked us up and returned us to the airport afterwards which greatly appreciated after a really long flight from the Uk.
Now for the safari itself. I was left speechless on so many occasions. Our guide, also know as King James aka 007 seemed to know exactly where to go for the best sightings (the photos speak for themselves) and throughout the entire trip he shared endless knowledge about the animals, their habitat and even the vegetation - I learned so much. Plus, he was really relaxed, had a hilarious sense of humour and brought the whole group together.
The campsites and facilities delivered everything we needed, including a few visitors in the form of zebras and hyenas (all very safe, and exciting) and Chas, our chef, was fantastic. He prepared all of meals fresh each day and the food was delicious.
There are so many companies offering safaris in this area - I was so glad I picked Surricata and would definitely recommend them to anyone else too.

Excellent from start to finish!!
We did the 3 day safari from Suricata and it was exceptional! Our guide - James 007 was incredible from start to finish. Great sense of humour, knowledge and seems to know everyone, meaning he gets you to see so many amazing animals! Food was great and the campsite facilities we’re fine for the price. Would highly recommend Suricata to anyone!
Great organization
It was well organised tour. They have free accommadation in hotel before and after tour. And also free airport transfers. These are very important because you dont have to think about any single extra detail. They reply ANY question. Dont hesitiate to ask. Every detail was ready during tour. You’ll be in a 4wd car with 6 people + 2 suricata employee in total. 1 guide/driver + 1 chef. They make definitely good foods. At dinners, they’ve also shared wine. In car, there’s electricity and you can charge your goods and this is pretty important I think. We stayed in camp, inside the tent. No worries, they’ll prepare your tents and you wont do a single thing. And it was comfortable. There were Zebras in camp area and it was great experience. Camp areas are pretty secure. They have other accommadation options as well. The only thing is, Ngorongoro was a bit colder than I expected. Be sure to have extra coat or something with you. The animals you’ll see is of course depends on your luck. We were lucky to see big 5 and more.
Vincent, Salim, Ally thanks for your hospitality, great experience!
