Very recommendable
Communication with the company was fast and fluid. We have seen a wide variety of animals. Both the coordinator and the guide and the cook were very professional and kind, being aware of our needs all the time.

Professional, Attentive, Responsive, and Friendly Team
My husband and I did a 3-day safari with Suricata and let me tell you - they know their job and they do it perfectly! I spent hours looking for, comparing, and talking to other tour operators and none of them compare to Suricata! From the first email sent to our safari experience, we couldn’t be more pleased. They arrange everything for you, are extremely responsive and attentive to your needs (customized/upgrade options available). Our guide/driver, mbonea, was SO nice and friendly. He took such good care of us while in the parks. He made sure we could see all the animals and knew where to find them! The food prepared by the chef was excellent! We shared the experience with two other couples we didn’t know and it’s like Suricata knew we would get along so well! It was a wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience and excellent service!
Overall a fantastic experience! The program was designed in a very thoughtful way. The food was great, the activities were fun, the staff were very friendly. Our driver Max was not the most talkative kind but friendly, approachable, flexible and knowledgeable about animals! We covered some of the most important spots in Tanzania wildlife conservation areas and it was a blast! The manager Ally would even meet and greet before and after the program to get suggestions, requirements and is always available for anything in Arusha / during the program! Talking about hospitality!
Will recommend to other friends of mine!

Brilliant 3 day family safari package
We just finished our 3 day 4 nights safari tour with Suricata Safaris, and loved every moment. We (2 parents, 2 teens) took an evening flight from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro airport, and from that moment on Suricata took care of us. First night in Arusha, then with their private safari vehicle (solid and comfortable safari land cruiser) we were off to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Three days of unforgettable sights, sounds and experiences.
On a safari many little things could spoil an experience. Not so with Suricata. Timing was perfect, no rush, no waste of time. 3 excellent meals a day (we easily had some of the best lunches compared to others at a picnic area). Excellent choice of lodges.
Suricata have high ratings and it’s easy to see why. Their great team is a well oiled precision machine that is aimed at one thing: providing the best service and experience for their clients.
I’d recommend Suricata to anyone.

Five unforgettable days with Suricata
We visited Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater in 5 days safari tour.
COMMUNICATION: First of all we had booked the tour 6 days before it started and anyway they were able to arrange us the tour we wanted on the day we asked. Organization was on the high level, our coordinator Hilary was always available on WhatsApp to answer any our question, all transfers were on time, all accommodations booked and any additional request satisfied.
GUIDE: Rocky!! This is a name of our guide, we are so lucky we had him! Rocky knows the answer for any question about animals, parks and culture in Tanzania. He has a talent on spotting animals and was really willing to show us all of them. On our safari we saw a huge amount of animals and also animals difficult to find, such as leopards, chitas and even wild cats! Rocky is a great driver, very helpful and funny.
We will definitely miss him!
FOOD: We had a fantastic chef Ben , who was preparing us lunches. Food was very delicious and varied every day, in the group of six persons we had three vegetarians and all of us enjoyed our meals.
ACCOMMODATIONS: We booked lodges and are very happy with our experience. All of them were comfortable, clean and with a very friendly stuff.
Sleeping in the heart of savanna is unforgettable!
Thank you all Suricata team for organizing this fantastic and unique experience. You and Tanzanian people made me felt in love with this beautiful country.
Asante Sana!

Excellent start to finish
My girlfriend and I had the most wonderful experience with Suricata Safaris this past week.
From the clear communication prior to arrival and pick up from the airport when we landed, we instantly felt like we had made the right choice for safari.
Spending 5 days with our tour guide, Rocky was an absolute joy, his in-depth knowledge and experience, of the local fauna and flora and local culture made every day exciting.
The food was delicious and accommodation very comfortable for a good night sleep.
The tour exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend

A very friendly and competent operator
We did a 3 day camping Safari at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
We was very happy to book our tour with Suricata. They are very competent and give us our wishes. The guide also knew everything about the Parks and is a very calm and friendly guide.
Our plane was delayed so we came later as planned. But that wasn’t a problem. I just wrote them via WhatsApp and they picked us up later.
I compared the prices and Suricata was in comparison to others very cheap. So I hadn’t high expectation, but they exceeded all our expectations.
So I really can just recommend to do your Safari tour with Suricata.

Amazing 4 days where we were able to see the Big5 + have cultural experience.
Even in August, we were able to see from Rhino to Elephants but wildbeast, zebras, and so on.
Completely suggest anyone to do it.
