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!

FANTASTIC!!
Loved every single thing about this safari. The price, the safety, the guide (Vincent), the food, the lodging...all perfect. As a solo woman traveler I was nervous to trust a company...but every single person I met was kind, professional, and made me feel 100% safe. Vincent got us all to see everything we wanted and were surprised by some sightings we would have never dreamed of. Definitely would use them again!!!!

Our tour operator is very helpful, solver man and explain in every stage of safari and animals well.
We were exhausted but had a great experience with suricatafaris at the end of the day. Foods are very good and various also. But if you come in July, the tempratures can be change very much between the mornings and the afternoons. You should bring more sweatshirt and jacket actually! Thank you for this great expreince.

Perfect and professional organization
The Suricata Safaris was the best group we could have chosen. The driver/guide was very professional, knew everything about the national parks and animals. The lodge where we were was very-very nice.

Best you can get
They really transform the safari to your needs. If you are a photo geek, they are willing to stay as long as you want at a place or move back 5m and than 2m forward and than back again

Perfect Safari we would ever do again
We had an awesome 5 days / 4 night tour in Tansania. We upgraded to the lodges and tented lodges and it was definitely worth the money!
Starting from the airport pickup, the hotel for the first night before and the Safari itself it was perfect.
The tour was with 4 others and us. The jeep was nice and the view was perfect. The guide told us everything we needed to know - of course about the animals, the landscape and the schedule and pickups for the day.
We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a one (or more ;) ) in a lifetime experience.
We met some nice people from the same or tours in parallel and had very nice evenings.
Afterwards we headed to Sansibar to relax. It was a perfect combination.
Professional team with well prepared guides.
We don’t know how other safaries operate, but whenever comming back we would go with them again.
The communication and oranization was excelent, they were flexible and modified eg. the accomodation to our needs and budget.
They have booked for us the hotel at arrival and leaving so we didn’t have to bother and could leave our extra luggages there.
The transfers were punctual and always at our desposal.
About the safari I can talk only in superlatives.
The car was a Toyota LandCruiser in a very good condition (cleaned every day, and filled with fresh water). Our guide, Mandela was a well prepared, patient, informative guy with a good sens of humor. He always new where to go, when to stop and explained everything not only about the animals, but geology, history, people and culture too.
He felt the road and knew his car. He payed attention not only to us, but others on the road. In need, he helped other safari operators and guides too. It seamed he knew everybody.
But not only him, the whole team was good. The chef prepared excelent lunch and dinner, and coffee was always at hand.
We not only got what we have wished, we got what we have hoped for too.
