Perfect - knowledgeable guides, great food
Just perfect - we had an amazing four day safari. Saw the big five, thanks to our awesome guide Rocky, and we had the best food - thanks to our chef Ben! Would definitely recommend this company - zero trouble, and everything was organised perfectly!!

Great and easy-going organisation with super service and people for amazing experiences!
We just came back from a 4-days Safari (camping) tour with Suricata Safaris. It was an amazing trips. We had a great tour guide and driver Max, who brought us to the best spots to see all the animals we wanted. We also always felt save in his car. And then we had the excellent cook Tito, who impressed us every day with 3 delicious dishes (high quality, also continental food) even in the middle of Tanzanias National Parks. We didnt expect such good food on a camping trip.
We saw a lot of animals in all the parks and had some great sceneries. We also thought that the tents (matress and sleeping bag) were nice and the campgrounds had some really good locations (especially DikDik in Serengeti and Simba in Ngorongoro Crater).
We can in general very much recommend Suricata Safaris. The organisation and communication with Hilary and the staff was always fast and easy and everything, including transfers to hotel or airport, was well organized.
Thanks to all of you again for this great experience!
PS: Just for some, who are not use to it, there will be a person welcoming you on the day before your trip (if possible) and also collect the rest of the money (in cash) even if this is in the middle of the night. First we were surpirsed but then everything was good.

The best Safari you can get :)
Thanks to Suricata Safaris we had a beautiful experience. The staff is just the best, from the reservation to the end of the Safari.
Everything is very organized and well-planned, and the service is really excellent, I truly don't have anything to say.
I recommend it without hesitation.

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.
