Simply perfect! Respectful, calm, and fun
This was an amazing experience! Ezekiel our guide and Salim our cook were the best. Always friendly useful and thinking of ways to make sure that the entire trip would run smoothly. The camping was really good with great gear included (tents, mattresses, and sleeping bags). My favorite was the Simba campsite on the Ngorongoro. The food was always hot with a lot of variety and really generous portions. Our guide had a deep respect for the parks and wildlife which I really valued. If you happen to end up with him do not forget to ask about his documentary narration skills hehe. I would recommend Suricata to my friends and family.
Side note: if you are doing a camping safari make sure to help your guide and driver with some of the logistics such as setting up the tents and putting them away, setting up the table, etc. I saw a lot of entitled tourists that would just get off the car and expect everything to be done for them...

Unforgettable experience!
We did a private 7 day safari which was tailored for us by the Surikata team (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Datoga & Hadzabe Tribes, Serengeti, Ngorongoro).
We booked on short notice and the Surikata team responded quickly, professionally and considered all of our wishes (even created a tailored broschure for us).
During the tour we had great lodges with private rooms. On top of that all the activities were organized in a professional way and we had a lot of fun and unforgettable moments! Especially the hunting with the Hadzabe tribe we will never forget.
Our guide Vincent was the best. He has more than 10 years of Safari experience, brought us to all the hot spots and we always saw more animals than the other tours ;)

Amazing experience with professional guide
The best possible experience we could have. Mr Hilary arranged everything for us and he was also very flexible when we wanted to change something in our plan. Florid was our guide and he was very friendly and trying hard for us to get best experience. I would reccomend Suricata agency to anyone who wants to have great safari tour in Tanzania.

A great experience!
This tour was excellent! We had a great time exploring the parks and watching huge number of animals that are in them. We had two different experienced drivers/guides (one for the first three days and one for the last) and both were professional and helped us learn a lot. We were provided with fresh meals by a cook that we enjoyed. We had some slight changes in our plan and the company was flexible about it and made the arrangements quicky. Thank you, Floridi, Salim, Mandela, Ali and Hilary for your hospitality, work and organization. We recommend everyone considering taking a Tanzania safari tour to contact and arrange it with this company (Suricata Safaris).

Amazing experience, personal and they go the extra mile for their clients.
Our trip with Suricata Safaris was an overall amazing experience. With the affordable price, we expected certain shortcomings but Suricata exceeded our expectations. From organization with prompt responses via email, over pickup from the airport, friendly drivers who are happy to give information about the animals and the parks (thank you Lewis and Ezequiel) to the food which, for a camping safari, was absolutely great. It doesn’t happen every day that you get to eat fresh, warm food in the middle of a national park with real cutlery, ceramic plates and mugs and coffee after the food.
Suricata offered spontaneous support in unexpected situations (illness) and was quick to find a solution for everyone affected. One night, I ended up staying on a campground by myself where I was catered by Ben, who is an excellent cook and got to enjoy a local town tour with Theo, whose company and knowledge I thoroughly enjoyed. In Arusha, Hilary and Ally are both very friendly and helpful. On top of the great service we got to see tons of animals and beautiful landscapes. Suricata exceeded my expectations and I would happily return to them as a customer.

Really good experience
It was a really good tour with amazing food. Lewis and Charles did a great job. The tour operator stands out because of its great customer service. Whenever you have a problem, they are highly willing to find a solution for you and they are really flexible und react quickly. They even helped me out with stuff that didn't concern the tour itself. I can highly recommend this tour.
For those who plan to book the budget camping: I'd recommend to take toilet paper and soap with you, on the campsite there is none.

Excellent experience on the Serengeti
Excellent safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater. The highlights have to be sleeping in the bush with wildlife right outside your tent, and driving across the Ngorongoro crater and seeing the Big 5. Excellent food and a world class guide as well. Thank you Mandela!

Everything from the organisation, the information the whole adventure was something that cannot be described with words, you have to do it on your own to really believe it. Special shout out to all the Suricata dream team: Ezekiel our amazing driver, Axi the superb chef and Ally organising everything. Would highly recommend!

Safari experience at its best
One of the most pleasant and exciting experiences of my life. I arrived in Arusha and Hilary and I met for a coffee. Everything went smooth and uncomplicated. What I have seen in N‘dutu is simply indescribably. The game rides have been thought thru professionally; safe but at the same time also adventureous. Especially I want to thank Vincent Bruno, who is a hard-working, trustworthy, kind and thoughtful guide with in deep flora and fauna knowledge. The team at the Angata Camp have been an absolute joy. They take care of there guests with excellence, professionalism and deducation. Also their kitchen is very remarkable. At this point I would like to heartfully recommend Suricata and thank them for their hospitality.
