Amazing Safari Trip!
We had an unbelievable Safari trip with Daniel (Briefing), Hassan (Guide) and Pius (Private Chef). They made our trip to a very special experience.
Especially the openness of the staff, the very good organized trip and the freshly cooked meals had been amazing!

The best in Tanzania?
Honestly where do I start, superb from start to finish and I couldn’t have had a better experience with Suricata. 11/10.
My tour started with a pick up from Arusha airport which was included in the package. I was picked up on time and dropped off at a nice hotel, to stay in a private room with double bed and aircon the night before the safari stared. I was greeted by Chuke for a briefing for the Safari including the morning pick up time. He also offered me a city tour of Arusha including food market tour which was amazing, thanks so much Daniel, I would recommend this city tour as I gained a lot of knowledge about Arusha and the history of Tanzania.
The safari was out of this world and we managed to see every animal across the 5 days, including the big 5 which I would put down to there expertise of the safari guide, Mandela who was brilliant and professional, and his experience of the national parks showed.
I opted for the 5 day camping tour and the campsites were great, and the staff set up all of the tents for you. The food was varied and the majority of the time we couldn’t even finish the amount that was cooked for us, thanks to the fantastic chefs! Some people opted for lodges which looked amazing and not much more, I just wanted more of an adventure, and we even had Zebras turn up outside our tents one night!
Lastly, they company are very helpful and flexible. When returning to Arusha, they even paid for my beer that I ordered whilst watching the football without me knowing, and then checked me into a hotel so that I could shower before heading to the airport. I was then picked up by a professional driver to head to Kilimanjaro airport for my night flight to Zanzibar!
Overall a brilliant experience and as far as safaris go, it was amazing how much was included, excellent value for money! I would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone thinking about going on a Safari in Tanzania, which has been a dream trip for a while!
Superb
We recently completed a 4-day Serengeti safari with Suricata, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The communication with Halimaat was flawless; she ensured everything was well-organised, from the airport pickup to the hotel drop-off. Our tour guide, Damien, was outstanding. His extensive knowledge of the Serengeti and his keen ability to spot wildlife guaranteed we saw the Big 5. Damien’s great sense of humor further enriched the experience, making it both educational and entertaining.
The food on the safari was another highlight. Chef James consistently prepared fresh and delicious meals throughout the day, enhancing our overall comfort. If you're considering a safari, I highly recommend Suricata. With Damien as your guide, you're in for a memorable adventure filled with fun and incredible wildlife sightings.

Cold Number One!
Unforgettable experience, everything literally perfect.
Impeccable organisation, with staff who are always friendly, attentive and truly helpful.
Five days spent in the main parks of Tanzania, in wonderful places and structures, with a group of 6 people (unknown at the time, but with whom we managed to create a good relationship) accompanied by Freddi, our safari guide. Note of merit for him, who was the highlight of our holiday, always available, polite, ready to listen to us and accommodate our requests, humane and friendly, as well as truly expert on the subject of safari.
Absolutely recommended, thanks Suricata Safari and thanks Freddi :)

Best operator in Tanzania
Me and my wife always dreamed of a safari in Tanzania. We booked the 5 day safari tour with Suricata Safaris and there’s really no words to describe how incredible it was. Our driver and guide Mandela is really the best guide one can wish for. He managed to find and show us everything we ever dreamed to see in a safari. We got to see (up close to our car): all the big 5, cubs of lion, cubs of chita, little elephants and giraffes, all with adult relatives, and so much much more! Mandela always made sure we got the best spot and at the best time, being always very comprehensive and relaxed so that we could have the best time of our lives! The chefs also prepared amazing food for us every day! I mean actual delicious food, cooked from pots and served in real plates, while everyone else from the other companies was having just simple sandwiches. Camping in the middle of nature with animals paying a visit during nighttime is also a once in a lifetime experience that is only improved by the jaw dropping (Lion King’s quality) Serengeti and Ngorongoro sunsets and sunrises. All in all this was the best trip of our lives and we feel that it is all because of Suricata Safaris, specially our guide Mandela. Many thanks to them all and I definitely recommend doing the trip with these guys!

Incredible Experience
Very nice experience! We left from September 7 to 12, 2024 as a couple with nights in a tent. Our guide Ilias was great, kind, warm and very experienced in finding the right animal spots! The meals are great with chef Salim, pancake, fresh fruit, omelette in the morning and rice, legs, chicken, vegetables for lunch and dinner. The nights are cool, we recommend taking warm clothes and a good quality sleeping bag because even if provided, yours will surely be cleaner and warmer. We made a dream come true, the animals are magnificent and everything is perfectly organized, and no worries with Suricata Safari.

Perfect tour to Tanzania safari
It was my first visit to Tanzania, and I was a bit worried since I was going alone. However, after completing my 5-day safari tour with Suricata, I realized my concerns were unfounded. My tour guide, Mandela, was amazing—professional, with excellent driving skills, and the perfect leader for supporting our group. While other company groups were having sandwiches, we enjoyed well-prepared meals. Fortunately, our group saw all the animals we hoped to see, and the tour was so satisfying that it moved me. I hope to return to Suricata Tours with my friends or family in the future. I also hope that all the kind Suricata staff stay safe and take care. I will definitely miss you guys!

Unforgettable days in Tanzania
Everything was amazing from our arrival. On the first day we had a very nice tour in Arusha with Abdul. We had also a briefing before our safari with Denis who provided us with all details on our trip. But the greatest part was the safari. Our guide Freddy made these 5 days unforgettable with his deep knowledge of the animals and his humor and jokes. A big thanks to the whole Suricata team and especially to Freddy, we will never forget these wonderful days :)
