Reviews
The safari itself was amazing, but there were issues with other administrative matters.
Good Points:
• The safari experience
Bad Points:
• The most shocking issue was that no one came to pick me up at the airport. A person named Ali was responsible, but instead of apologizing, he kept making excuses about the traffic.
• Jackson, the person I had been communicating with via email beforehand, is completely unreliable. Whatever you tell him, assume that no one on the ground will be informed.
• In fact, I had clearly discussed via email the remaining balance to be paid, the change of accommodation, and the need to prepare change. However, none of this information was conveyed to the staff on-site. As a result, I had to spend my nights in the hotel lobby in Tanzania explaining everything all over again.

Best safari experience ever!
We had a very cool Safari at Suricata! Our guide Amiri clearly had a good eye for spotting animals: we were able to spot all the big 5, plus many more! The lodges in the Serengeti park and the Ngorongoro crater were both very beautiful, super cool to sleep in such a luxurious tent. Would definitely recommend the experience!

Unforgettable experience!
The trip was organised very well! The whole staff is so friendly and professional. I genuinely believe we've had the best guide (Amiri) who did his absolute best to show us all the animals there are to see, and also to bring us up close! We could have litteraly have cheetahs, lions, elephants within a few small steps. The photos we took were amazing! Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are absolute must-do's. The jeep was comfortable and did not have issues despite rocky, bumpy roads. The food was brilliant and exceeded our expectations! We had a chef travelling around, getting to the places we'd stay at night before us and preparing a large variety of foods. We've had feasts! To those doubting the camping or shared jeep option - it might just be the detail that will make your trip even more unforgettable. We have met people from all around the world, we broke bread together, shared a drink or two, had nice talks around the table in the evenings. Sleeping in a camping tent is not bad as they are spacious, mattresses and sleeping bags are provided. Not the best comfort in the world but nothing to cry about. Kelvini was an angel in helping us getting back our luggage lost in airport. Jackson has been answering all the questions prior the departure with joy. An absolute banger, strong recommendations!

Very well organised
We were so delighted with this tour. The amount of animals we saw was breathtaking and we were lucky enough to see the big 5. Our guide, Filex,was knowledgeable, patient and a genuinely lovely guy. The standard of the lodges was extremely high and the food was great (thanks to our tour chef James for the lunches).

Elegant & Seamless
I was blown away by the experience. I booked a group tour and we had a great time. When booking through whataspp there was a little misunderstanding but when I met with Daniel in person for the briefing he made things right and apologized for the inconvenience.
When the tour started, I was absolutely blown away. The driver and the chef were absolutely AMAZING I can not say enough good things about the food.
We also got to see so many animals and we got to get so close, shoutout to our driver he was great. Also, the planned itinerary was amazing and I'm happy with the amount of time we had in each park. Also the tents were nice and always set up and waiting for us.
I would. HIGHLY recommend this tour company!

Safari very well organized, always good food and magnificent places.
Honorable mention for our guide Shabani, always careful to our needs, excellent driver and perfect guide in explaining the main secrets of the animal world.
Great food, thanks to our chef.

Absolute magic
This was such an incredible experience. As a solo traveller I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this exceeded any expectations I may have had! We saw so many animals, drove through really breathtaking landscapes, and were in such good hands with Damian, Jeremiah and the crew. The home cooked meals were delicious and I loved sleeping under the stars. Thank you suricata for making it happen!
