Unique emotions with an amazing staff
We spent 4 unforgettable days! Despite a misunderstanding with the luggage on the first day, all the staff were available and solved the problem very quickly.
Freddy, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to him we spotted all the BIG FIVE and had close encounters with lions, cheetahs and many other wonderful animals.
Daniel, who waited for us at the end of the Safari, was very kind and so was Dennis, who welcomed us at the airport.
Good food, both the "packed" one and the one served in the various lodges/campsites for breakfast and dinner.
I recommend everyone to have a Safari experience in Tanzania with this team.

With the fantastic Suricata Safaris team on a 5-day group camping-safari
Fantastic trip. Everything was under control, and we got to see many different animals and got very close to them. Both food and camping surprised us very positively. Our guide Mandela was very nice and competent and our chef James was also really good and nice. All in all a very good safari, with nice people. Would definitely recommend.

Knowledgeable
We loved this 4 day 3 night safari. Baraka was an amazing guide! He was so informative and made sure to answer all the questions we had for him. He asked us what animals was our favorite and tried his hardest for us to see them! We ended up seeing The Big Five with all of our days combined. Baraka was so patient as we took our pictures and made requests. Another stellar part for me was the vegan options! Before I embarked on the safari they asked what exactly a vegan diet entailed. For every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) I was prepared a separate, vegan friendly option, or made sure there was enough portions of veggies and rice for me. Chef James made sure I knew what I could have and I knew I was safe as he said things like “this has eggs and cheese so I prepared this for you instead”. Besides fitting my dietary restrictions everything was delicious! So flavorful. This was a great experience and I highly recommend!

Amazing tour experience with Suricata Safaris
The safari was amazing! We were welcomed and briefed by Mr Daniel, who listened to our requirements and reviews. Our guide Mr Freddy was knowledgable and attentive - he was very informative and guided us safely, and helped us spot many many animals, while providing interesting trivia for everyone. Accommodation was also fantastic - the company worked hard getting us the best possible places to rest, while still letting us have as much time on the safaris as possible. The tour was indeed worth every penny and we would love to come back again next year! Thank you.

Perfect safari experience.
We were fetched by Kevin from the airport and he kindly assisted to get us sim cards for usage during our tour. Upon reaching the hotel in Arusha, we were greeted by Daniel who briefed us on the tour. He was also waiting for us at the hotel at the end of the tour to brief us on the upcoming ride to the airport. He gathered feedbacks and took notes - thank you for the keen interest to do better, but everything was already perfect. Our guide, Freddy, was amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He knows so much about everything related to Tanzania, not just the animals! He answered our questions and ensured we are safe throughout the trip. You could tell his love for the country and the animals. He also helped to spot animals and stopped for us to view and take photos. Thank you, Freddy! :) Food catered for us is so yummy too! The accommodations were fantastic - there has been some slight changes we weren't informed of but i have no complaints at all! Staffs were all very helpful and gentle. I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip and am already planning a trip to see the great migration next year and will def engage Suricata Safaris again. Thank you for the memorable experience :)

Great Trip
We had an amazing 3-day safari with Suricata Safaris! The entire experience was well-organized, from the booking process to the safari itself. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a memorable time, pointing out all the wildlife and explaining the landscape in great detail. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was excellent. We saw a wide variety of animals, including the Big Five, and the overall atmosphere was both exciting and relaxing. We highly recommend Suricata Safaris for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!

I can't recommend Suricata Travel enough for our unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! We opted for the luxury package, and it was worth every penny. The lodges were absolutely stunning, offering comfort, breathtaking views, and impeccable service. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring we saw an incredible variety of wildlife, from lions and elephants to zebras and cheetahs. Both Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks were teeming with animals, making the experience truly magical. The food provided throughout the trip was delicious, fresh, and far beyond our expectations. Our flight after the journey was delayed and they put us up in a wonderful hotel for the evening too. Suricata Travel made our dream safari come true—5 stars all the way!
Incredible and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend it.
My partner and I loved the tour. We were doing the 4 day safari tour and we had a great time. We managed to see a lot of animals and all the animals we wanted. Our driver/guide Edgar made our trip incredible, sharing a lot of information, drove really well and also very funny and really nice guy. Also, the food was incredible and delicious, thanks a lot to our chef James who was very kind and cooked very well all the meals we had in our tour. Great camping accommodations! I would highly recommend Suricata Safaris and I will definitely will use them again for my next African trip. Also, I would like to thanks Daniel and Chuke for their help on the checkin and checkout of the tour from the briefing of the safari to getting everything sorted for us to go to the airport.
The best experience we could ever had
The best experience we could have. The safari was great and all the services provided (hotel, camping, food, tour guide) were spectacular.
The experience started if the pick up at the airport and we stayed one night in Arusha (Jevas Hotel Encore) where we were well received and the room and food was good. We started the safari tour the day after and we saw so many animals during these 4 days. Edgar, our tour guide was great and very friendly as well. He patiently answered all our questions and was carefully looking to find the best views and animals. We were camping and James was our chef. I have to say that the food was delicious.
We had an amazing experience during the four days. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris. They are very committed to their clients and during the whole time they checked on us.
Daniel and Chuke were also very friendly and they did the check in and check out of the tour to ensure we had a great experience (and we for sure did)
Thank you to all the Suricata Safaris team :)
