Great trips, Great people, Great stays.
We booked a 4 day trip including hot air balloon, massai village visit and everything went smooth and great
First from the airport we got to our stay by Dennis who had a quick introduction about the trip and took us to the big gallery.
Thanks to suricata and our driver Bariq (i think that's how you spell it) we had great time, and enjoyed the trip
Bariq is a great driver with huge knowledge about nature, he is funny and talkative. He made the trip so much easier since he knows the area very well, we don't see too many safari jeeps due to our timing and the path that we follow.
We were also fortunate enough to have a fun family from Spain, Peru, and Germany which made the experience more rich since we talked about our cultures and got to know eachother alot more
Suricata is well committed to improve their trips and they sent Daniel to do a quick review about out trip when it finished, they ask what did you like and what are the things that you didn't like and how can they improve.
Thank you Suricata for organizing such a great trip.

Amazing!
The tour was absolutely amazing! Everything was well-organized and on time, exceeding all my expectations.
Seeing animals in the wild was truly breathtaking! Experiencing nature up close was incredible—I felt completely immersed in it.
And the balloon ride—for anyone going on a safari, DON’T MISS IT! It was an unforgettable experience that added a whole new perspective to the journey.
Our driver, Bareq, played a huge role in making this trip special. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions and knowing exactly when and where to stop for the best photos and videos—I took so many! On top of that, he was funny and made the journey even more enjoyable.
The accommodation was excellent! From the warm welcome to the outstanding hospitality, everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The food was also exceptional, and they were very attentive to any dietary restrictions.
I also want to express my gratitude to Denis and Danial, who welcomed us before and after the trip. They explained everything clearly and ensured a smooth experience from start to finish.
Lastly, a special mention to the wonderful family we travelled with—we truly enjoyed our time together!
A huge thank you to the company for organizing such an incredible trip. I would absolutely do this again, and I highly recommend it to everyone—couples, friends, families, and even solo travellers.

amazing company
My friend recommended this company to me and I‘m so happy I went with suricata. I went with two friends I met in Zanzibar, they were able to join the safari I had booked very spontaneously and suricata gave us a very good discount. Musa who did the briefing before and after is very kind and helped us with everything like transport and organisation. The 4 days on Safari were incredible, the weather views and animals were amazing, our driver William always managed to get us the best views, the food that our cook salim prepared for us every day was very good also for vegetarians and a great variety.
I wish I could do it all again, we had such a great time and still can’t believe what we experienced and got to see with our own eyes :)

Great safari experience in Serengeti park and Ngoro Ngoro crater
I absolutely recommend everything about the experience. The safari was spectacular, we were very satisfied with having done the 5-day tour, in fact if we could we would have stayed even longer. Suricata safari was excellent, the opportunity to see sunrises and sunsets in the middle of the savannah I will remember for life. For the rest, the food was really excellent and always very abundant, and our guide Golden was wonderful, always very prepared and very willing to explain the most disparate things about the parks and the animals seen. Excellent experience

Our guide Godliest was welcoming, knowledgeable and the best guide we could ask for.
I had such an amazing time with Suricata Safaris! My sister and I did a 3-day camping experience at the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorogoro Crater. The views were breathtaking, the animals could clearly be observed from the vehicle, and I learned so many new things from our guide Godliest - who was so welcoming and knowledgeable. Godliest helped us find larger animals such as the cheetahs, lions and elephants while also pointing out the smaller wildlife such as the dung beetle and spurfowl. Our chef Dennis also did a great job making sure when we’re always fed with cozy breakfasts, travel lunches and multi-course dinners. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime!

Awesome safari experience
With friends, we visited the main National Parks around Arusha during five days. First day was Tarangire, then two days in Serengeti, followed by Ngorongoro crater, and ending at lake Manyara. All inclusive. Pick-up from and to airport, nights in arusha before and after the trip, camping accomodations and meals in between.
The food prepared by Tito and his team was awesome and varied. From breakfast to diner all was excellent, I now need to learn how to replicate at home.
The camping accomodations were in outmost conditions, very clean for how remote this places where. Tents were spacious and all equipment provided (mattresses, duvet, and pillows), also the support team in charge of loading and installing everything were the kindest people ever, as well as very helpful.
Our guide, Golden, gave his outmost to show us everything we could during our stay. He also answered all the questions we had about, the animals, the people, the languages, the geology, the history, and the culture of Tanzania.
Game drives were an awesome experience and we saw almost all the animals that there was to see (damn cunning leopards that don't want to be seen).
I'd recommend a thousand times going with Suricata and will go again with them if I have the opportunity.

Perfect experience!
One of the most beautiful experiences of my life! I feel compelled to recommend Suricata for many different reasons:
- I felt safe and guided without losing any sense of adventure or authenticity (we are a group of friends who are quite independent and enjoy organizing things ourselves, but in this case, it would have been impossible, and we would have only missed out given the perfect experience);
- The Suricata team works together like a family, they are always in contact and put a lot of passion into their work: our guide, Golden, was truly passionate and eager to find animals and share his knowledge with us (he was also incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer). I don’t think it’s a given that the guide is so dedicated to finding the rarest animals! Moreover, spending 5 days with 5 strangers can’t be easy, and he always treated us wonderfully and made us feel completely at ease.
- As a true Italian, I can’t help but pay attention to the food. Special mention to Chef Tito who cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us every day, and I don’t think I’ll eat this well again here in Tanzania: delicious, varied, and authentic cuisine (and very generous portions).
- We opted for the tent option and we were very comfortable: we slept in wonderful places, especially two campsites located within the national parks, and I assure you that waking up to the sunrise in the Serengeti or stargazing over Ngorongoro are experiences you won’t forget.
- In general, they are very attentive to feedback and quick to respond to any needs and requests! And they are also very friendly, which is always a pleasure.
I hope to return soon, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Experience for life!!!
I wouldn’t change a single thing about this amazing safari. Starting with the warm welcome at our arrival in Arusha by Mr. T, he gave us all the information we needed, very precise and with patience. Then we met Fredy, our guide, a beautiful person. He was an excellent driver, he knew exactly where to go and what we needed at all times through the parks but also how to find us and how to contact us no matter where we were, solve any doubts or issues along the way. He was very respectful and calm, he transmitted us safety at all times, and his knowledge about wildlife, about all species and their behavior, was absolutely outstanding. Beside him in the 4x4 we had our super chef Pius, verything he cooked was yummy! Always local dishes, proper hot meals and not boxes like other safari companies. The Lodges and Camping Sites were absolute fabulous, in memorable emplacements, and the employees always made us feel like we were at home. Finally we met Daniel at our hotel in Arusha, for the debrief, he received us with his Tanzanian smile, and still with tears in my eyes, we thanked them all for this amazing and unforgettable experience!!
Thanks Tanzania, thanks Tanzanians and thanks Suricata Safaris for making this possible! Asante sana, hakuna matata!!!!!
I could only rate 5 stars!?
Everything has been above expectations! The organization has been spectacular, it has made the trip very easy. To highlight the quality of the hotels and the experience shown by the company. The welcome of Mr. T, Pius with his spectacular local cuisine, Daniele with his recommendations,...but above all, our dear Fredy, our guide (since now a friend). I have no words to tell you about him: from the first minute with a smile on his face. Excellent driver, always with safety first, he is a true encyclopedia on wildlife, intelligent, friendly, polite, decisive,...I enjoyed talking to him about his country and the love he shows for it and he has made us feel the same about Tanzania.
