Best operator in Tanzania
Me and my wife always dreamed of a safari in Tanzania. We booked the 5 day safari tour with Suricata Safaris and there’s really no words to describe how incredible it was. Our driver and guide Mandela is really the best guide one can wish for. He managed to find and show us everything we ever dreamed to see in a safari. We got to see (up close to our car): all the big 5, cubs of lion, cubs of chita, little elephants and giraffes, all with adult relatives, and so much much more! Mandela always made sure we got the best spot and at the best time, being always very comprehensive and relaxed so that we could have the best time of our lives! The chefs also prepared amazing food for us every day! I mean actual delicious food, cooked from pots and served in real plates, while everyone else from the other companies was having just simple sandwiches. Camping in the middle of nature with animals paying a visit during nighttime is also a once in a lifetime experience that is only improved by the jaw dropping (Lion King’s quality) Serengeti and Ngorongoro sunsets and sunrises. All in all this was the best trip of our lives and we feel that it is all because of Suricata Safaris, specially our guide Mandela. Many thanks to them all and I definitely recommend doing the trip with these guys!

An Amazing experience
The Two days of Safari were great , our guides Joel and Kevin were incredible they explained about the wild animals and the Park. The Food provided was really good and the Ngedere lodge was great with food and a dance show at the end.

Cold Number One!
Unforgettable experience, everything literally perfect.
Impeccable organisation, with staff who are always friendly, attentive and truly helpful.
Five days spent in the main parks of Tanzania, in wonderful places and structures, with a group of 6 people (unknown at the time, but with whom we managed to create a good relationship) accompanied by Freddi, our safari guide. Note of merit for him, who was the highlight of our holiday, always available, polite, ready to listen to us and accommodate our requests, humane and friendly, as well as truly expert on the subject of safari.
Absolutely recommended, thanks Suricata Safari and thanks Freddi :)
Superb
We recently completed a 4-day Serengeti safari with Suricata, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The communication with Halimaat was flawless; she ensured everything was well-organised, from the airport pickup to the hotel drop-off. Our tour guide, Damien, was outstanding. His extensive knowledge of the Serengeti and his keen ability to spot wildlife guaranteed we saw the Big 5. Damien’s great sense of humor further enriched the experience, making it both educational and entertaining.
The food on the safari was another highlight. Chef James consistently prepared fresh and delicious meals throughout the day, enhancing our overall comfort. If you're considering a safari, I highly recommend Suricata. With Damien as your guide, you're in for a memorable adventure filled with fun and incredible wildlife sightings.

The best in Tanzania?
Honestly where do I start, superb from start to finish and I couldn’t have had a better experience with Suricata. 11/10.
My tour started with a pick up from Arusha airport which was included in the package. I was picked up on time and dropped off at a nice hotel, to stay in a private room with double bed and aircon the night before the safari stared. I was greeted by Chuke for a briefing for the Safari including the morning pick up time. He also offered me a city tour of Arusha including food market tour which was amazing, thanks so much Daniel, I would recommend this city tour as I gained a lot of knowledge about Arusha and the history of Tanzania.
The safari was out of this world and we managed to see every animal across the 5 days, including the big 5 which I would put down to there expertise of the safari guide, Mandela who was brilliant and professional, and his experience of the national parks showed.
I opted for the 5 day camping tour and the campsites were great, and the staff set up all of the tents for you. The food was varied and the majority of the time we couldn’t even finish the amount that was cooked for us, thanks to the fantastic chefs! Some people opted for lodges which looked amazing and not much more, I just wanted more of an adventure, and we even had Zebras turn up outside our tents one night!
Lastly, they company are very helpful and flexible. When returning to Arusha, they even paid for my beer that I ordered whilst watching the football without me knowing, and then checked me into a hotel so that I could shower before heading to the airport. I was then picked up by a professional driver to head to Kilimanjaro airport for my night flight to Zanzibar!
Overall a brilliant experience and as far as safaris go, it was amazing how much was included, excellent value for money! I would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone thinking about going on a Safari in Tanzania, which has been a dream trip for a while!

An unforgettable safari trip!
Our safari trip was unforgettable. Our guide Hasan was incredibly ambitious and really enjoyed what he was doing. He told us lots of interesting details about the animal world, nature and Tanzania itself and really contributed a lot to making this trip unforgettable for us. Not only did he do everything he could to ensure that we could see the big 5 as close as possible, but he also chatted with us in a friendly manner over dinner in the evenings. Our boss Pius, who accompanied us throughout the trip, cooked us delicious food every day. Sometimes he got up at 4 a.m. to prepare our breakfast and lunch. We were also continually impressed by the variety of food. The two of them made our trip unforgettable and we can only recommend it! Big thanks and praise to Hasan and Pius! Asante sana!

Unforgettable and Perfectly Organized Safari with Suricata!
Our 5-day safari with Suricata Safari was an unforgettable experience, and the entire package exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was seamless, and we felt completely looked after. Our guide, Lewis, ensured we were always safe and informed, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the delicious meals prepared by chefs Tito and Salim to the well-chosen, comfortable campsites. Every aspect, including seeing the Big 5, was expertly arranged. We had an amazing time, and the value for money was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!
Our safari was a great experience. Everything was planned from start to finish, we didn't have to worry about anything. Salim and Tito cooked fantastic food, we had hot meals for lunch and dinner. We saw the Big Five with Lewis, our very friendly guide. Every day was special and he showed us the diversity of Tanzania. Our tour group also harmonized and we had a lot of fun. I can only recommend it!
