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.

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!!!

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.

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 !

We had a great experience and more than we expected!
We had a great Safari experience with Suricata!
The communication was very easy and we always got quick replies when we had questions.
The Hotel for the night before and after the safari was very clean and the staff was very nice.
The safari itself was great! Our driver/guide was very experienced and we got to see the big five, which we never would have expected!
The food was cooked freshly every evening on the campsite. Even the conditions in the camping sites were very bad with no electricity, our cook was able to deliver a nice breakfast and dinner every day :)
We would definitely recommend Suricata :)

Wonderful safari
We had a great time with our guide Ezekiel. He and the chef did a great job - everything was excellent.
We actually saw the big 5 (Ezekiel promised us) and we loved to hear him talking about the wildlife and the animals.
We booked the 5 days Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tangire).
Unfortunately are the restrooms / washrooms on the campinggrounds horrible! - But that is not Suricatas fault!
I would totally recommendend this company! Thanks to all - especially Ezekiel my Bro:)

Affordable, experienced, safe, amazing, delicious, friendly
Wow! What a great safari! Last week we went on a 2 day tour to tarengire and Ngorongoro crater, with Ezekiel. This was a safari to remember. Ezekiel was so friendly, informative and made the trip! We were able to see all of the big 5, and felt so safe at every point!
Then we went on a 4 day trip with Freddy, who was so friendly and informative also. We had some other difficult customers with us (not in our party) who Freddy delt with so professionally and calmly. Again we saw the big 5 again and Freddy got us to the best viewing points.
Everyone in this company works so hard and provides such a high quality service and rock bottom prices. Hilary went above and beyond to come and talk to us at our lodge, and was so passionate that he istanly won us over! He also went above and beyond to help us at every point, including let us use a hotel room to shower and change before our flights.
Such lovely men who clearly work very hard!! I was also so impressed by both chefs, outstanding food every time!
Can’t recommend them any higher!!

It was very good organized, easy going 6 days safari
Company met us in Arusha airport. After night in a hotel we started our 6 days safari.
First day was Manayara, actually we didn't see flamingo there, but we saw hippo very close. After a night in good camping we went to Serengeti NP for 2 days. It was awesome there - many gnus and zebras. We also saw different cats - lions, cheetahs, leopards.
Every day we had excellent dinner and breakfast with hot meal made by our cook. And also we had lunchboxes in the car, but the lunchboxes were not so good.
The only problem, which upset us was that
the program of Suricata said "Day 5 : Ngorongoro Crater tour .
After breakfast, proceed directly to the Crater floor for a full day crater tour with picnic lunches. Later proceed back to tarangire in the evening"
But actually we had only half day safari in Ngorongoro, we were upset of this fact.
But it total everything is very good. We recommend this company!

Amazing!!
From start to finish Hilary went above and beyond for our party. So friendly and approachable.
Our driver Ezekiel was so knowledgeable and friendly, he made our Safari one to remember!
The chef on Safari was again very friendly and cooked the best food I had whilst in Tanzania for 2 weeks.
Over all, I think everyone needs to book a safari with this company.
We loved them so much we even booked a trip to the hot springs with this company. I wouldn’t trust anyone else but this company. I will defiantly be using them again on my next trip to Africa. Thank you Suricata Safaris!
10/10!!❤️
