A Wild Adventure with Suricata Safaris
Our experience with Suricata Safaris was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we were picked up at the airport by Daniel, who gave us a detailed briefing, to the very last day, everything was organized perfectly.
The Arusha Day Trip was an incredible start. During the walking safari, we were lucky enough to be surrounded by 11 giraffes, calmly grazing as we stood right next to them. It was an experience we will never forget! Our guide, Raimond, made sure we felt safe and informed throughout, and Nicola, our driver, was full of energy and humor. After the walking safari, he even helped us buy new clothes since our luggage didn’t arrive with us. Suricata went above and beyond to help us track our bags, which arrived safely at our campsite, all thanks to their efforts.
We also had a peaceful canoe safari with our guide, Frank, on Lake Momella. While the canoe safari wasn’t packed with wildlife, the serene surroundings made it a relaxing and scenic way to experience the park.
The highlight of our trip was the 5-day camping safari. Our guide, Damian, was a true professional and a brilliant wildlife spotter. Whether it was lions, elephants, or leopards, Damian seemed to have a sixth sense for finding animals! The campsites were in great locations, offering stunning views and basic but comfortable facilities. Don’t expect luxury, but the warm sleeping bags and mattresses ensured a good night’s sleep. Hearing hyenas in the distance as we drifted off was a thrill in itself.
The camp crew and chefs were amazing. Every meal was a delight, especially after a long day of game drives. We felt incredibly well taken care of, and the whole experience was enhanced by the friendly team and the great people we met along the way.
For anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized safari adventure, we highly recommend Suricata Safaris. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Amazing Experience, Great Team!
Our trip with Suricata Safaris was fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up at the airport by Daniel, who briefed us on all the safaris, explained everything in advance, and answered all our questions.
The Arusha Day Trip was a real highlight. During the walking safari, we were surrounded by 11 giraffes, calmly feeding, and we could stand right next to them and watch. Our guide, Raimond, led us safely through the park and provided great explanations. Our driver, Nicola, was also very entertaining and even helped us buy new clothes after the safari, as our luggage didn’t make it on the flight. What was especially helpful: the team tracked down our luggage and sorted everything with the airport, so it was delivered directly to our first campsite.
Before the walking safari, we had a peaceful and relaxing canoe safari with beautiful surroundings, led by our canoe guide, Frank. If you’re expecting to see many animals, this might not be for you, but the calm and beauty of the experience made it worthwhile.
The 5-day camping safari that followed exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Damian, was friendly, fun, and an excellent wildlife spotter who adapted to our wishes. The safari brought us much closer to the animals than we ever imagined. The campsites were good – nice locations with great views, and most of the showers/toilets were okay. While not luxurious, the sites were comfortable for sleeping, and they provided us with warm sleeping bags, mattresses, and pillows. If you’re lucky, you might even see a few animals like zebras or antelopes near the camp, and at night, you can hear the hyenas howling.
A big shout-out to the chefs as well – the food was delicious every day, and without the tent crew, we wouldn’t have slept nearly as well!
One of the best parts of the trip was meeting so many wonderful people along the way. Whether it was fellow travelers or the Suricata team, everyone made the experience even more enjoyable.
Thanks to the whole team, we can highly recommend Suricata Safaris.

Amazing staff. Amazing safari
This was beyond all my expectations. I went here with my girlfriend for the 3 day camping safari. The company was waiting for us when we landed in to Kilimanjaro airport and took us to our hotel and explained the next few days for us. We started the next day and met our guide (Barracka) and chef (Samson), these 2 guys are amazing and i really can’t explain how amazing these 2 guys are at their job. My girlfriend told Samson it was my birthday and he even made a cake and surprised me in the campsite on my birthday. We saw every animal we think was possible. I would recommend this safari company to everyone

Best safari
The best safari i have ever had. Spotted all the big FIVE and much more. Saw a leopard hunting a gazelle and we were excited , awed , scared and excited all in one. It was an amazing experience. Spotted lions in just 10 metres of length . It was as if i could touch him. Saw a pride of lioness and cubs . The cubs were feeding and it was an amazing experience. The elephants took my breath away. Saw four cheetahs . Also spotted a family of rhinos (mama,papa and baby). The stay and food was both comfortable and amazing.
The best part is that they communicate. They always reply and always tend to your needs. Every requirement was met. Loved the experience.

Highly recommend!
Our safari was a great experience. Everything was planned from start to finish, we didn't have to worry about anything. Salim and Tito cooked fantastic food, we had hot meals for lunch and dinner. We saw the Big Five with Lewis, our very friendly guide. Every day was special and he showed us the diversity of Tanzania. Our tour group also harmonized and we had a lot of fun. I can only recommend it!

Unforgettable and Perfectly Organized Safari with Suricata!
Our 5-day safari with Suricata Safari was an unforgettable experience, and the entire package exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was seamless, and we felt completely looked after. Our guide, Lewis, ensured we were always safe and informed, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the delicious meals prepared by chefs Tito and Salim to the well-chosen, comfortable campsites. Every aspect, including seeing the Big 5, was expertly arranged. We had an amazing time, and the value for money was fantastic. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable safari trip!
Our safari trip was unforgettable. Our guide Hasan was incredibly ambitious and really enjoyed what he was doing. He told us lots of interesting details about the animal world, nature and Tanzania itself and really contributed a lot to making this trip unforgettable for us. Not only did he do everything he could to ensure that we could see the big 5 as close as possible, but he also chatted with us in a friendly manner over dinner in the evenings. Our boss Pius, who accompanied us throughout the trip, cooked us delicious food every day. Sometimes he got up at 4 a.m. to prepare our breakfast and lunch. We were also continually impressed by the variety of food. The two of them made our trip unforgettable and we can only recommend it! Big thanks and praise to Hasan and Pius! Asante sana!
