Any promise was accomplish perfectly. No mistakes.
I had an exceptional 3-day safari with Suricata! The experience was beyond my expectations, with breathtaking wildlife sightings and the best guide 🙏, named Golden, who was able to bring me closer to all the animals: rhino, hippos, elephants, lions and cheetahs. Plus thousands of zebras and others around. A trip to a maia village is a must as well. Our guide made the arrangements.
Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure!

Perfect balance between adventure and comfort
Perfect experience: everything well organized from the pick-up to the end (thanks mister T and Daniel), incredible accommodations (beautiful lodge at Lake Manyara, very well organized tents - practically glamping) even inside the parks), meals a bit repetitive but always very good, long car trips but comfortable and above all, strong point, our guide Freddy (highly recommended), competent, passionate, very pleasant. In short, a 5 star experience

Safari suricata
We had an incredible experience. I can say that it is an experience of a lifetime. Our guide was impeccable, he explained everything to us regarding the life of all the wild animals. He was patient with all our questions. A great man. We did not lack anything, water, food, refreshments. Thank you very much Lena Angelo

Perfect experience
Cannot say enough good about the whole safari. The accommodation was top notch at every stop we had. We had the chance to see basically all animals that were listed.
Most of all, all personnel has been incredible. Mr. T and Dani at the start and end of the trip have been very kind.
Special mention goes to Freddy, our guide, who is knowleadgeable on every subject and welcomes every question with his high energy and good mood. He tirelessly drove us to the most exceptional places in order scout any kind of animal.
11/10 would recommend!

Best Profesionals and very detail oriented, exceeded expectations
This safari was the dream of my life, so i was scare about having to much expectations from it. But i was lucky by contacting Suricata safaris, my dream came true even better than expected!
Everything was so well organized from the first minute. Since the moment they picked us up in the airport to the drop off they day we left. The first day Daniel, our host in Arusha proposed us a guided tour in Arusha, visiting the most art gallery and the farmers market. Daniel gave us a great and detailed explanation about the country, the city and the local market. It was great to see the high quality of the products in the farmers market, particularly the vegetables and fruits that women from the surrounded countryside sell every day to locals and also to the safari operators. We had the pleasure to eat all this products cooked by the "best" chef ever James!!!. Even my 2 teenagers girls loved his meals. James was the safari chef during the 5 days, we cooked for us every meal because it was a camping safari, and we certainly loved everything he cooked for us. He even though us a lot of swahili words!
Our guide Lewis, drove us the 5 days of safari showing us everything we could possible see. He is a very knowledgeable, kind and smily guide! We absoluty loved being withe him. He has been a guide for almost 10 years, so he knows every single corner form all thw parks we visited. Furthermore, he knows most of the others safari guides with whom he has a very nice relationship so we were able to spot and take pictures of all the big 5 and many other animals. We got a particularlly good view of a female leopard in a tree and also a climbing tree lioness. We were so lucky that we spoted most of the hervibores with offspring, but also a lionesses pride with 6 cubs!Lewis always tried so hard to get us to the best place to be able to enjoy the animals and take pictures as close as possible without disturbing the other gruops or the animals.
I highly recomend.Suricata to anyone interested in a safari in Tanzania with or without children.

Excellent organization and very friendly environment. Totally recommended!
We just finished out safari trips with Suricata. We are really happy with the experience. We decided to go with the camping mode and exceeded expectations. Since day one that we did a city tour of Arusha with Daniel all was very well organized and on time. Our guide during the safari, Lewis was very pleasant and he really took us very close to the animals, explaining all details. Thanks a lot Lewis! Suricata organized also meals during the safari. The chef James is an incredible cook. All meals were prepared from scratch, fresh and all days different dishes! So good!
The five day safari gave us a good overview of all animals and the different ecosystems, from savanna to tropical rainforest. Of course we saw the big five and the ugly five (which were very pretty for me) and many more! All was lush green!
The camping was very good! I would not have changed the experience for a lodge.
Life experience that I wish I could repeat!

They pay attention to every detail!
This was an amazing experience. It was my first safari so I did not really know what to expect. We were met at the hotel by Mr T (not the actor) he gave us a breifing and then we loaded up in a large landcruiser with 2 other couples, and then we were off for adventure! Our guide Freddy was so knowledgeable and spoke English
Very well. We saw so many amazing animals on safari and Freddy told us many interesting facts about the animals as we watched them. The four parks we visited varied greatly in terrain and flora. The crater is a must see.
The accommodations were very nice for the price. The first 2 nights at a beautiful resort with friendly hosts. The next 2 nights in luxury tents with equally friendly hosts. There were wild animals sounds at night which I thought was exciting. The food was great all around. We were debreifed in Arusha at the end of the trip by Daniel to make sure we enjoyed the trip and to see what if anything needed changing. I had no complaints. What a trip!!!

Go woth Suricata!
I've been on safaris before and this one blew me away!
We went to so many parks and saw ALL of the African animals. Our guide, Fredy, was so knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we had the best spot for animal viewing. The accommodations were beautiful. Loved the tent glamping and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the customer service at each spot was outstanding. Can not recommend Suricata Safaris enough...10 stars!

A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris
Our recent safari with Suricata Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to our guide Elias and chef James, whose expertise and dedication made the journey truly special. Elias’s deep knowledge of the terrain and incredible understanding of the animals allowed us to experience breathtaking wildlife encounters, while James’s delicious meals provided a comforting touch of home after each day of adventure.
The attention to detail was remarkable. From the perfect placement of tents to face the sunrise and sunset, to the punctual and stress-free airport and hotel pickups, everything was thoughtfully planned. Communication with the team was flawless – every step of the process was clearly explained, giving us a sense of security and allowing us to fully enjoy the trip.
The entire staff was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout the journey. Thanks to Suricata Safaris, we were able to relax and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the wilderness, knowing we were in the best hands.
We cannot recommend Suricata Safaris enough – it was an experience of a lifetime that we will cherish forever!

Memorable 4 days Safari with Suricata
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their kindness, attentiveness, and support throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived at the airport, Johnny Junior greeted us with a warm smile, humor, and genuine friendliness, making us feel right at home.
At the hotel, Musa gave us a wonderful introduction to the safari, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
However, it was Elias who truly made our trip extraordinary. I’ll forever be grateful to him for creating such a unique and memorable adventure. He was an excellent driver, with sharp eyes that spotted animals from afar, always eager to get us closer to each one so we could fully enjoy the moment. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see part of the Big Five on our very first day, along with many other wild animals and breathtaking views in the savannah. Elias was always ready to help with anything we needed, and his dedication made the experience even more special.
The meals were also amazing—fresh, local ingredients with a great variety. Every meal was delicious and different, and I only wish I could have a chef like James at home. We’re so thankful to him for the wonderful food he prepared for us.
Lastly, we had the pleasure of meeting Daniel when we returned from the safari. He was so warm and welcoming, sharing stories with us, making us laugh, and even planning a city tour. His kindness added an extra layer of joy to our trip.
This has been the perfect start to our honeymoon, and the memories we’ve made will stay with us forever. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so amazing. ♥️
