4 day Tanzania safari with Suricata safari
Let me just start with what a great team is present at Suricata safari, ours was a last moment honeymoon plan to Tanzania due to some reason. I got their contact details online and then connected with their customer care executive Halima, who helped us out all the way till the moment we reached our Arusha hotel and even after that. Our connecting flight to Kilimanjaro was delayed by over an hour but our local connect Mr. T was patiently waiting for us at the airport, we landed pretty late around 10 pm but still he was very jovial and helpful, he answered all our queries helped pick up dinner (it was almost 12.30 am when we reached our hotel) and stayed there till we checked in.
Next day in the morning the pickup vehicle was present at the promised time and they drove us to Twiga lodge (the starting point), from where we drove to Serengeti park along with our awesome guide Mr. Rocky. Rocky and the support team including our chef James were pretty awesome. On day 1 & 2 we visited Serengeti where they delivered on their promise of an awesome safari experience and also went out of their way if we requested any animal sighting if mentioned in the brochure and we were not able to see, they coordinated with the available resources and tried to give us the best experience. On day 3 we visited the Ngorogoro crater where again Rocky was on his best form, he was able to provide us sightings of animals he promised and also gave detailed info alongwith pics from their book. Day 4 we visited the Tarangire national park with one more guide Mr. Ismail, again and excellent guide who delivered on his promise of a great safari. Once done they dropped us back to our hotel in Arusha again waiting till we checked in.
Just to add a few points here, the whole team is very helpful and they went out of their way to ensure our comfort and safety, we being Indians they ensured we had the diet as per our preference and also provided on time food along with hygienic and tasty food. Also we had a vegan in the group for whom they ensured food was served as per their preference. From pickup at the airport to drop off they keep a tab on all minute details and help out whenever asked for including pickup and drop off at airports. One of the best things is there are no hidden or extra charges they deliver on the cost they quoted. They give you various options depending on your budget and cater to it as per that, and do not differentiate as per the budget, very courteous. The vehicles are also very comfortable and well maintained.
So at the end just want to add if you are looking for a great safari in Tanzania let it be on a budget or something extravagant Surtica safari is one of the best around based on my experience. They are value for the money paid.
Once again a shoutout to the great team at Surtica safari.

The best safari :)
We went on a 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorngoro conservation area. Our 3 days safari was an amazing experience, we wish to stay even longer. In just 3 days we have seen so many animals - even baby lions, lions who have caught a zebra and some lions feasting with a buffalo, cheetah, leopard and so much more. Our guide was the best, he knew so much about wildlife - about animals and as well about flora of Tanzania (which is the best ;)) He also took care for everything and that everyone is feeling ok.
Also the food was really delicious. The chef was cooking really good and for every meal there was a lot of choice, so everyone can find something for him.
Overall, everything was perfect. All the staff of Surica are really nice and ready to help you, even before your safari starts. They even went with us to the pharmacy as we didn't feel well. So I would recommand this tour to everyone.

The perfect safari
This safari was perfect. We saw a lot of animals and we were really lucky to see baby lions, leopard, cheetas, girafes, elephants and so much more. Some of the animals came very close so we took some very good photos.
The food was also delicious and we can choose between a lot of different options and everyday was different food.
Our tour guide was Damian and he did a good job. If we have any question he always knew the answer. You can tell by his work that he loves doing it and he know a lot about the every animal and also plants. He was also funny so we were all in a good mood all the time.
I will recoment this safari to everyone because its worth.

Overall excelent experience
Review of what is going to look like in beggining, cosy transport to the meeting point, the guide Damian was really good, had alot of knowledge of animals, plants, scenes in safary.
Camp was really good, tents were clean, showers and toilets always available. When things got wrong, they easily fixed it. Was suprised how companies help each other in time of need. Good plus was Damian the guide and Tito the cook who made our days special and easy. Also the food was local, this was one of the plus of Suricata. Staying true to Tanzania culture. The meals were cooked everytime and cooked really good. Other companies had some lunch boxes...
We saw alot of animals, basicly everything, lions catching their prey and so on.
Overall a excelent experience.

Provided us an unforgettable experience!
I would like to thank the whole team!
Daniel gave us a great briefing and organized jackets for the trip!
Mandela was our first guide for Tangerine National Park and was a super informative and easy-going guy!
The next day we met Lewis and Damian for Serengetti and Ngorongoro Park and were also briefed by them on exciting and informative information about the wildlife and their humour was also very funny!
We were very lucky to see almost all the animals except the rhino!
The lodges we stayed in were breathtaking! The food was varied and delicious, many thanks to Tito!
Asante Sana, you made our honeymoon a trip we will never forget!

Experienced and well organized
We had a great time with Suricata Safaris. Lewis has good knowledge about the animals and we spotted not only the Big5 but also many other animals. The food was delicious. Many thanks to Salim - his self made bread was fantastic. Doing camping was a good decision, altough it was mega cold at the highlands. The second and third campsites were in the nature while we didnt experience the camping feeling during the first night. Throughout the trip we had the feeling that we chose the right company. Bring binocolars and enjoy the trip with Suricata.
The night before and after the safari is also included in the price as well as the pick up from the airport. At the end they even organised a taxi for us to the Bus station and helped us to find the right daladala!
