Unforgettable safari experience!!
I was a little nervous at first since I was traveling as a solo woman, but this safari turned out to be an amazing and unforgettable experience!! My driver from Suricata was Ezekiel, he was great--very knowledgeable, informative about all the animals, and attentive to us. I did the 4 day safari and we saw basically all the animals at the top of my list: Cheetahs (in Serengeti only), lions, leopard, elephants, Rhino, giraffes, and lots of hyenas, which are my favorite!! The sceneries are just spectacular, just like you see on TV, especiallly Ngorogoro. The Serengeti is fascinating...it's just plain/open spaces where you think there's nothing there, but actually all the animals are there! I was also happy that Suricata was able to provide special meals for me since I'm vegan. I absolutely loved this safari and my only regret is that I didn't choose a longer one as I would've loved to spend more days in Serengeti and seen more rivers.

It was amazing!
We went on a 4 day safari. Saw tarangire NP, Serengethi NP and ngorogoro NP, it was a great expierence with a lot of adventure. The jeep was big and comfortable. Our guides name was Ezekiel, a very nice man who could tell us a lot about the wild animals and the way They live. We were planning to see the big five and we Did!. We saw a lioness with her cubs, elephants from a few meters away when we had our lunchbreak (the food was good during the whole safari), a Leopard with her cub in a tree, a rhino at the crater and on our last night buffalo's were eating grass in front of our tents. Ezekiel made sure we felt safe during the whole trip and stopped the car anytime we wanted to make pictures. We spotted a lot of animals, monkeys, lots of beautifull birds, giraffes, zebra's wildebeest and many many more. Every morning we woke up very early to start the game drive. But it was worth it. I never saw those beautifull sunsets in my life. Thank you So much, it was amazing!!!

Go directly to the BEST!
We were connected to the driver, Hilary, through a middle company as were others on our trip. I would say that we definitely lucked out with the driver, chef and vehicle for the entire trip (5 days). We had heard some horror stories of people getting put together with companies of poor quality and even being stranded by vehicle problems.
Don't book through "flycatchers"!!!
They don't have your best interests in mind and are only looking to make a quick buck.
Contact Suricata Safari directly and talk to Hilary or his associates to plan one of the most magical experiences of your life.
Hilary was our driver and Apollo was our chef. Hilary knows the bush and knows not only where the animals are, but also where they are going so he will always position the vehicle at the best vantage point for the perfect photo. Trust in his guidance and you will be rewarded with great memories and information. He has a great sense of humor as well, once you get to know each other.
Apollo is a man of few words but you can't believe the meals he will make you. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with multiple course meals. Truly an unexpected treat.
After seeing first hand how the safari booking system works in town, I would only ever book directly through an actual safari company and that company would be this company.
Asante sana Suricata Safaris!

Best safari experience
Our sfari driver was Hilary and he is the best. Full of energy and amazing stories and fnny jokes. We had a lot of fun on a 4-day safari (which is totally enough if you want to see all the antional parks). We saw the big 5 group, which was unforgetable. Staying in tents can be really exicitng since you're sleeping surrounded with zebras and bivols, so I would not change it to lodge. Only thing I would not miss is visiting Masai village. It's too commercial already. You better visit Hundzabi tribe which is really interesting (still living in caves).
