Reviews
Jordan was the best guide could ask for.
Our guide, Jordan, knew exactly where to go to see the animals from the best vantage points! Thanks to him, we saw all the animals up close (including rare ones). He looked after everyone's needs in the group, balancing stops, meal times, and driving time, and was incredibly patient. Overall, the trip was well-organized in every respect: the vehicle was comfortable (with power outlets for charging phones), there was always plenty of water and juice available, and there was ample food for every meal; the accommodations were decent (basic, but adequate). In short, it was an excellent way to experience this adventure! He shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals, national parks, nature, and more. His English was excellent!

It was definitely amazing and incredible!
We took a 5‑day safari, and everything was great. It’s worth noting the attentiveness and care of each employee: when planning, the manager answered all our questions [organizational, medical, etc.], helped us choose convenient flights, and was there when our flight was rescheduled and our entire schedule was moved — we didn’t know where or when we would arrive, and even on a day off, the manager was still in touch, adjusted the transfer schedule so that we were met and everything went smoothly. Our guide, Jordan, was really great! He told us interesting stories, showed us the best spots for photos, and took care of our well‑being. I got sick during the safari and couldn’t go on the hot‑air balloon ride; thanks to Jordan, we got almost the entire booking fee refunded! In short, we were taken care of at every stage, so the safari was safe and comfortable — everyone was fed and satisfied!

Excellent company, which helps with every problem
Absolutely amazing company! The team really saved us and helped us out a lot.
First of all, our flight was delayed, so until the very last minute we had no idea what time we would arrive or even exactly where. Despite that, they still arranged a transfer for us and made sure we got to the hotel in time and didn’t miss our safari. The communication throughout the whole experience was excellent.
And our guide, Jordan, was absolutely fantastic. He even helped us get a refund for our hot-air balloon trip, even though it was officially non-refundable.
The food was delicious, and Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He told us so many interesting stories and facts — how crocodiles hunt and what they eat, why hippos walk alone at night, and much more.
He took us to some truly amazing places, and we got to see a huge variety of incredible animals.
If you’re looking for a great safari operator, I honestly don’t think you’ll find a better one. Highly recommended!

Very good at finding the best spots to see the wildlife up close
Very good tour - well organized and we managed to see all Big Five up close due to the extra effort of our guide Jordan.

Lake Manyara is a gem
This was the last day of a 5 day lodge tour - i have left a separate review of the first 4 days but for day 5 we had a different guide Boniface. He was very good and extremely knowledgeable giving us lots of information. I did not expect to see much at manyara but it was fantastic. We had a great experience elephants very close including adult and baby. Unforgettable. I'm sure Boniface will go far in guiding. Again i had a great group to share it with. We had stayed at suricata boma lodge which is superb right by lake manyara and all the staff were superb there as was the case for all lodges on the 5 day.

Suricata Safaris make my dreams come true.
We are so happy with Suricata Safari that I am writing a review even while we are still on our trip.
Our guides Jeremy and Damien did their best job. We feel very well and safe. They give us the best views.
This trip was worth every penny. The workers have a good connection and give each other informations. So it was possible to see leopards, cheetahs, lions, elefants, hippos, giraffes and so on.
The food from Tito and his team in the kitchen was good and clean.
We really enjoy our one in a lifetime holiday.

Well organised, with lovely guides and good connected
We had a perfect Safari with our guide Jeremy. He made every wish come true. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. The fact that they are a big and good organised organisations, helps them to find the best places. The camps are fun and the food is delicious. The price is justified. Go for it!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our safari experience with Suricata Safaris has been excellent from start to finish! Our guide, Jeremiah, is absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent driver, very knowledgeable, extremely polite, and always attentive to every detail.
We were also incredibly lucky to have him as our guide, as we managed to see some of the most difficult animals to spot several times — including leopards! His experience and dedication definitely made the experience even more special.
The lunches were also consistently delicious, which was a wonderful bonus during our days out in the parks.
We highly recommend Suricata Safaris, and especially Jeremiah, for an unforgettable safari experience!

Fantastic Safari Experience
We booked a 3-day camping safari with Suricata Safaris adventuring to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. While the booking was relatively simple, we had a scheduling issue when we got to our accommodations. Our safari was initially booked incorrectly by the sales representative, but it was quickly resolved by Kevin/Celvin, our briefer at the Jevas Hotel (one of the accommodation locations). I really appreciated how swiftly he was able to resolve this issue.
We were paired with Felix for our driver. Felix had a great eye for spotting the various animals and was a very caring and patient person. He was experienced and knew where to go to find the animals. Thanks to Felix, I feel incredibly blessed to have been able to see all the Big 5 (we saw 4 out of 5 on our first day!).
The camping accommodations were fine and were located in public camping sites inside the park. While the facilities lacked consistent hot water and working showers, they were not responsible for that. I also thought the food was good! I really enjoyed having a hot lunch rather than a boxed lunch. Additionally, during dinner, they brought out bottles of wine!
I am glad we went with Suricata Adventures. They have their operations together but I think a little clearer communication could have helped our itinerary issue.
