Great safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro !!
We had a great experience with Suricate Safaris. We have been recommended the company when arriving in Dar es Salaam. We contacted them and get answers really quick and all the information we needed.
The safari in itself was really well organised and matches what was described and agreed on.
Our guide was friendly, attentive, always smiling,doing his best to make us enjoy our experience and knew a lot about all the animals .
Thank you again for this good time.
We definitely recommend Suricata Safaris !

Best Safari Experience
I can highly recommend Suricata Safaris. It sets the bar very high for other safari providers and experiences.
I've done a safari before in South Africa, I saw the big five and the landscape was breath taking, but the service was average, so I didn't have any expectations when I booked the safari this time. But Hilary at Suricata Safaris gave me and my brother the best safari experience:
He picked us up from Arusha airport
He brought us to the Arusha Tourist Inn (both the night before and the one after the safari are included in the price)
We went for dinner (it felt like making friends rather than just going on an anonymous safari)
We had our private chef, Action, who prepared the best food during these 4 days
Ezequiel, our driver and guide, told us so much about the wildlife, their instincts and habits. Turned the engine and radio off, so we could just listen to nature, the animals walking, rawr or eating.
Ezequiel understood how to balance our desire to see the animals, but at the same time respecting the wildlife's privacy and territory. It did not feel rushed at all, and we saw the most beautiful things.
We slept in tents right next to the Zebras and other wild life, plus seeing the milky way as clearly as possible because there's no light pollution at all in the parks - simply WOW!
Also we got given proper mattresses for the tents (not just these yoga mattresses!) and wine every night.
I cannot thank Hilary, Ezequiel and Action enough for this wonderful experience, I hope you don't lose that unique vibe as your business expands.

Amazing safari with Suricata Safaris!
We had a great 6 day safari with Suricata Safaris. The company was clearly dedicated to making sure we had a great experience and many times prioritized our satisfaction over saving money. For instance, Suricata divided up its clients leaving on the same day into groups of four instead of six to make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Our guide, Hilary, was very friendly and fun, knowledgable about the animals, and responsive to what we wanted to do. He drove to areas of the park less traveled by other companies and in those areas found us lions and cheetahs within a couple meters of the car. We saw the Big 5 all in one day of our trip (including a rhino which is very difficult to see at this time of year) and over 60 lions. Also the food was delicious (our chef was great) and we were given a bottle of wine every night (which we didn't see any other companies doing). Overall, highly recommended!!!

A great safari experience
The tour operators, Hilary, Action and Frederic were highly service minded, demonstrated in-depth knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife and provided good food. They were also ethical in the sence that promises and expectations matched the experience. A great safari experience in total.

An amazing experience from start to finish with our guide Hilary
We could not have asked for a better and more knowledgeable guide than Hilary. He scouted out hard to find animals and really knew what he was doing. He is also a very delightful young man with a great sense of humor! I highly recommend going on safari with Hilary!

Amazing safaritrip with Ezekiel to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
At the end of July, I went with the guide Ezekiel and a group for a two day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. It was EPIC. We saw very rare events like, leopards and cup eating a gazelle, fighting and making out monkeys. The tentcamp was also nice with dance acts, campfire and dance acts. The next day we went to Ngorongoro were we had the most amazing views and saw a lot of wildlife. Lunch we had at a pool full of Hippos. Afterwards, we stopped at a nice site were we had an amazing view over Lake Manyara. Very good safari.

Die Safari kann ich nur jedem empfehlen der nach arusha kommt. Wir waren einen Tag im Ngorongo Krater und im Tarangire Park.
Es gab eine Unterkunft in einem dschungelartigen Camp mit gutem Essen und abendlichen Programm.
Unser Ranger "Frederick" hat uns viele gute Spots im Park gezeigt. Die Big 5 haben wir alle Dank ihm gesehen.
Auf der Tour waren wir insgesamt nur 4 Leute in einem Auto für 8 Leute. Es war sehr angenehm fürs fotografieren und beim Tiere beobachten.

On adventure with Hillary to Tarangire and Ngorongoro
At the end of July I went on safari with Hillary to two of the most famous national parks in Tanzania. Tarangeri and Ngorongoro. It was amazing. Where other guides did not succeed in other parks, I was shown cheetas that brought their boys to a group of friends, monkeys who were mating and rhinos inside the crater. These things are very rare. It is not easy to say whether it's a coincidence or the guide to see these things. But it were two days apart, I do not think it's a coincidence anymore. That's why I say a big "merci" to Hillary !!!

One of the best experiences i had in my life
The service and the communications were very good, you get a lot of information about the animals and the food you get is really good.
You are sleeping in Tends in the Serengeti which is a great experience. But if you wanna have higher comfort you should book by a different company where you can sleep in apartments.
I have seen the "big five" on a three day Safari and all the other animals you can imagine.
