Amazing Experience with Suricata Safari
Best experience ever! Suricata is a company that organizes your safari from the beginning to the end . They take care of every detail, so you can have the most amazing experience throughout all time safari, from the person who sends you the quote, the driver, the guide, the chef. The food was excellent as if you were in a high class restaurant, the transportation from your arrival to Arusha. In short, everything was excellent.
Thank you Suricata for this wonderful experience.

Once in a lifetime experience!
The safari we had was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget.
Our drivers, Rocky and Vincent, had a lot of experience and always knew where we had to drive to see the animals. This made us see a lot of lions, elephants and even a black rhino in N'Gorongoro. They knew a lot about the animals, flora and fauna and always had a good answer to our questions. Both of them were also very very concerned of our wellbeings and wanted to make us feel good and happy.
Then there was Ben, the secret star of the group, who made us food for brakefast, lunch and dinner everyday. If you want to taste really good lokal cuisine, then he is the man. It was better than every restaurant I have been to in Tanzania/Zanzibar before.
The tents and camping places where basic but totally fine. Especially in N'Gorongoro we had an awesome spot with a nice view and also some guests that joined us in the night (1 elephant and some buffalos). A lot of times the showers were cold but thats just how it is, when you sleep in the middle of serengeti or a Crater, so dont expect too much! Sometimes it can get a little freezing, so dont forget to bring something warm (at least a light jacket).
So all in all I totally would recommend this tour to anyone and would be happy to do it again in the future!

Great adventure
We went on a 5 day group tour with camping. The Nationalparks included were Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.
Starting date was very flexible, we could start any day, they made everything possible, even if it means switching groups for a day.
We were 6 people in the car plus another group of 7 people in a second car and joined for lunches, overnight stays etc. The group experience was great, we had a lot if fun while seeing so many things on the safari.
Our guide (Rocky) was absolutely great, always eager to find the next best thing, always in a good mood and with a lot of very interesting stories to tell. He was very experienced and managed to find very rare animals when nonone else could and was very well connected with the other guides (essential if you want to see great things).
The food was amazing. A chef (Ben) travelled with us and although this is not the main focus on a safari but he really created something to look foreward to after a long day of safari. In comparison to other companies we saw at the camps we were very happy with the food.
However it's important to know that you are going to have a very basic experience if you choose to go caming: mostly cold showers, very basic toilets, no fancy extras and it gets really cold. But with the right expectation management, nothing can go wrong :) we had an amazing time!!
Would definetly recommend going on safari with them, value for money is good!

6 Day private Safari
Our 6-Day Safari with Suricata was an absolute life-Time experience. We visited 4 different national parks (lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and N‘Gorogoro, each of which is beautiful and non of which are the Same (with serengeti being my favorite).
We saw amazing landscapes and more different kinds of animals than we had hoped to see (seeing a leopard in its natural habitat was one of the true highlights).
Our guide was very experienced and managed to quickly drive us to the places where the most interesting animals could be found.
At night we stayed in tents, which are fairly comfortable. The only downside to a camping safari is the longer way to the toilet, which is a bit of a problem, especially when wild animals are near your camp.
The food was great and always more than we could eat.
I would recommend a safari with Suricata to anyone who likes adventures in nature.

Fantastic tour, great value for money!
We decided to book with Suricata because it was the cheapest available option for a 6 day Safari. We are extremely happy with our choice. The guide was very competent, the food was delicious and the tents were more comfortable than we had expected - especially the beds were nice! The game drives where a live changing experience! I can highly recommend this trip.
In the beginning we were a bit unsure because we only received a confirmation per Whats App, so don't worry if you expect a more official document.
Some words of advice: bring shower gel, shampoo, soap, disinfectant, toilet paper (dry and wet) and towels because those are not provided. Luckily we brought most of it, so we were fine.

Thank you Suricata and guide James
5 days of Safari Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with the family. Unforgettable and trouble-free days thanks to Suricata Safari, with Ali who organized our arrival and return in an impeccable way. But what made the 5 days pleasant and safe (with those roads it is not to be taken for granted) is certainly due to the expert guide James, experienced driver and champion of sympathy. In addition to showing us elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, lions etc, he also described the flora and other characteristics of the different areas. Thank you crazy James !!!

A fantastic safari with all the animals I'd hoped to see!
Our guide, Lewise, spotted loads of animals, including The Big Five and many more unusual animals, like a python and even a cheetah! Our cook, Musa, cooked very tasty warm meals every day. And Ally gave us a great introduction!

Amazing experience!
Everything went exactly as planned. Hillary and his colleagues were not only professional but caring and understanding.
Our luggage got lost during our flights and they undertook every communication and action needed and brought our luggage to Marrera valley where we stayed for the night during our safari. So, even though we got unlucky nothing was changed and we were able to have this amazing experience at its most.
Our guide Mandela is one of his kind: He speaks English very good, has great knowledge on the flora and fauna of every park we visited, he is a good driver and a kind person.
Can't thank enough Suricata Safaris for this eye opening experience!
