The best safari :)
We went on a 3 days safari in Serengeti and Ngorngoro conservation area. Our 3 days safari was an amazing experience, we wish to stay even longer. In just 3 days we have seen so many animals - even baby lions, lions who have caught a zebra and some lions feasting with a buffalo, cheetah, leopard and so much more. Our guide was the best, he knew so much about wildlife - about animals and as well about flora of Tanzania (which is the best ;)) He also took care for everything and that everyone is feeling ok.
Also the food was really delicious. The chef was cooking really good and for every meal there was a lot of choice, so everyone can find something for him.
Overall, everything was perfect. All the staff of Surica are really nice and ready to help you, even before your safari starts. They even went with us to the pharmacy as we didn't feel well. So I would recommand this tour to everyone.

4 day Tanzania safari with Suricata safari
Let me just start with what a great team is present at Suricata safari, ours was a last moment honeymoon plan to Tanzania due to some reason. I got their contact details online and then connected with their customer care executive Halima, who helped us out all the way till the moment we reached our Arusha hotel and even after that. Our connecting flight to Kilimanjaro was delayed by over an hour but our local connect Mr. T was patiently waiting for us at the airport, we landed pretty late around 10 pm but still he was very jovial and helpful, he answered all our queries helped pick up dinner (it was almost 12.30 am when we reached our hotel) and stayed there till we checked in.
Next day in the morning the pickup vehicle was present at the promised time and they drove us to Twiga lodge (the starting point), from where we drove to Serengeti park along with our awesome guide Mr. Rocky. Rocky and the support team including our chef James were pretty awesome. On day 1 & 2 we visited Serengeti where they delivered on their promise of an awesome safari experience and also went out of their way if we requested any animal sighting if mentioned in the brochure and we were not able to see, they coordinated with the available resources and tried to give us the best experience. On day 3 we visited the Ngorogoro crater where again Rocky was on his best form, he was able to provide us sightings of animals he promised and also gave detailed info alongwith pics from their book. Day 4 we visited the Tarangire national park with one more guide Mr. Ismail, again and excellent guide who delivered on his promise of a great safari. Once done they dropped us back to our hotel in Arusha again waiting till we checked in.
Just to add a few points here, the whole team is very helpful and they went out of their way to ensure our comfort and safety, we being Indians they ensured we had the diet as per our preference and also provided on time food along with hygienic and tasty food. Also we had a vegan in the group for whom they ensured food was served as per their preference. From pickup at the airport to drop off they keep a tab on all minute details and help out whenever asked for including pickup and drop off at airports. One of the best things is there are no hidden or extra charges they deliver on the cost they quoted. They give you various options depending on your budget and cater to it as per that, and do not differentiate as per the budget, very courteous. The vehicles are also very comfortable and well maintained.
So at the end just want to add if you are looking for a great safari in Tanzania let it be on a budget or something extravagant Surtica safari is one of the best around based on my experience. They are value for the money paid.
Once again a shoutout to the great team at Surtica safari.

Great service and an amazing experience
This was the most amazing trip we have ever been on. Suricata Safaris looked after us every step of the way from airport pick up at the start to drop off at the end. Our guide Rocky was out of this world. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we saw so many animals and got as close as possible. James was the chef for our lunch each day and the food was fabulous. I was nervous about the food before we travelled as I am a picky eater but it was so delicious! Our accommodation every night was top tier. The Suricata Boma lodge was very luxurious. When we stayed in Angata tented lodge we had 2 hippos right outside our door before bed. Once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris for couples, families or solo travellers. And if you can try to ask for Rocky! Rocky made sure everything was perfect for us. Halima was lovely to deal with when booking our Safari and Mr T was very friendly and helpful when we collected us from the airport. We opted for the luxury accommodation and I would highly recommend this.

Excelent Safari
Everything has been incredible. We saw many animals, beautiful landscapes, the people of Suricata Safari were very attentive, kind, happy, patient. Super comfortable with our guide. Delicious and organic food. The car very good. Everything is very well organized with excellent logistics, they know their business very well. Very good atmosphere, people from all over the world enjoying the same thing as us. With them I want to return to other adventures.

Perfect! Fantastic accommodation and our driver Rocky always made sure we had the experiences.
This was an unbelievable experience! We came here on honeymoon and I'm so happy we did. Suricata looked after everything from the moment we landed at the airport until the moment we left. Our driver Rocky always made sure we had the best view throughout the safari and the best experiences. Amazing accomodation and atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were super comfortable. Breakfast lunch and dinner provided everyday and it was absolutely delicious. It was honestly a perfect honeymoon destination and we got to make a million memories. Thank you so much to everyone at Suricata, and especially to our driver, Rocky! Asante sana!

Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, outstanding service
An experience of a lifetime and Suricata made that happen. Our tour guide Luis was kind, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The process from being picked up at the airport to being dropped off was so easy. We did nothing but get into the van and they did everything else. The accommodations were great and the food our chef made was wonderful. The chef & hotels accommodated any dietary restrictions. And if you didn’t like something they would accommodate that also. We were greeted by the friendliest staff and best homemade juice ever! everyone smiles and is so happy to make sure you are completely satisfied. We didn’t have to lift a finger. Our bags were carried to our rooms & picked up and placed in the Jeep daily. I wish I had that wonderful African service at home. We were extremely lucky to not only see the big five but also leopards and Cheetahs.. Serengeti treated us very well. We were on a 4 day moderate accommodations tour. Thank you Suricata. I can’t wait to come back and use your tour company for all tours I take in the future. You could not have done anything better.
Perfect vacation!!!

lifelong memories
I had contacted the organizer in advance via the whatsapp channel...I was able to get a quick answer to our concerns and open questions at any time. when the program was fixed, it was about the payment...a first deposit of 20% of the total amount was due.... I was able to pay this by credit card (without a surcharge)...we had to pay the remaining amount 1 month before our arrival...there is a surcharge of 5% for credit card payments and 3% for bank transfers...the alternative is to take the remaining amount with us (which is quite a lot of money...and the surcharge can add up)
Arrived at the airport mauch was already waiting for us with name boards. The whole organization/procedures and catering were always at the top of the list... The accommodation and camps were also very well equipped and we felt very comfortable (medium luxury level).
On the safari, all our wishes were catered for and we saw and experienced everything we had planned before the safari (4 out of the big 5...no Leopard but a Cheetah instead)...I would recommend the safari with Suricata to anyone and we would do it again. Many thanks to the Suricata crew for making us feel safe and at home at all times

Very responsible and customer forward with a high quality product
Suricata safari provided an excellent safari experience for my family traveling four days throughout Tanzania. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time with his welcoming attitude. The lodges and food were great with fresh meals served every day and no boxed lunches. The whole experience was guided very well and suricata safari from the start communicated well ensuring a smooth complete experience.
Flawless experience- amazing food, friendly, knowledgeable guide- well organised.
Top notch- nothing negative about our experience. The camping setup surpassed our expectations and the food was also amazing! Our guide Damien was incredible also.
