Unforgettable Adventure with Suricata Safaris: A Real-Life Nature Documentary
I recently had one of the best experiences of my life with Suricata Safaris! Our trip was nothing short of amazing. We saw so many animals, including the Big Five. Watching lions hunt and mate felt like being in a real-life nature documentary.
Our drivers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, knowing exactly where to find the animals and understanding their behaviors. Despite a few small issues with our changed schedules and accommodations, everything worked out really well in the end.
I can definitely recommend Suricata Safaris. If you're considering a safari, July is a fantastic time to visit!

Top quality: reliable and professional
Our 4-day safari with Suricata Safari was absolutely fantastic! Everything was handled professionally. Communication was good throughout. Our trip ended with a brief feedback talk to ensure customer satisfaction and search for our possible suggestions for improvement. Great!
Our guide, Lewis, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings and also incredibly kind throughout the journey. His experience helped us to see the BIG5 (and basically the rest of the real life cast of “The Lion King”)…
The meals prepared by Chef Tito were consistently great , adding a delightful culinary dimension to our experience, taking into account my diary restrictions…
The overall organization of the safari was impeccable, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip.
We highly recommend Suricata Safari for anyone looking to explore and appreciate the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Incredible safari experience at Serengeti NP / Ngorongoro Crater
Fantastic three day camping safari in Serengeti NP/Ngorongoro Crater, thanks to our amazing and very knowledgeable guide Mandela! Got to see the Big 5 (especially many lions) and many more animals in a beautiful setting. Food was really good, thanks to our chef Samson who joined our budget safari. Camping facilities are basic but fine and located great scenery. Overall really good value for money, though communication with customers prior to the safari could have been better.

Amazing
We went as a family of 4 adults from USA. After researching a lot of companies for a long time, we decided to go with Suricata. I arranged the trip with Halimaat - she was wonderful, answering my questions and making changes available at any time 24/7. Our Safari driver/guide was Ezekiel. He was a great driver and very knowledgeable. The driver from and to airport was Mr. T. He was very nice setting us up to our accommodation in Arusha. The accommodations were even better than I expected, everyone everywhere was supper nice. The food was amazing. The lodges were beautiful and the service was great. Very satisfied overall, strongly recommend the experience.

Serengeti with Super-Max
Our 7 day adventure Safari did not let us down. We believe this is the right way of exploring the most famous Tanzanian National Parks with the Serengeti as absolute pinnacle. Unless you are time or budget restricted, take your time and do the 6 or 7 days tour to see all the beauty the parks have to offer! Our guide Max and chef Jeremiah were absolute stars.
Max is very patient, punctual and knowledgeable of the parks and the animals. He always has a plan! He will take you off the main roads to the areas with high likelihood of finding Cheetahs, Leopards or Rinos, everytime with success! You can also sense this is his passion. He gets as excited from spotting animals as we do! We also learned he is a celebrity in the Serengeti, everybody knows him and he is always eager to help everyone out! Jeremiah is a bush-cooking wonder. The variety of meals he puts on the table each morning, noon and evening is astonishing and goes far beyond your typical lunch box or bush cooked packaged spaghetti. Everyday a fresh meat or fish dish with plenty of rice/potatoes and veggies as well as now and then a bonus surprise dish :)) Both of them made sure every single detail of the trip was thought trough and went without a hitch. This also goes for the entire Suricata crew we have met along the way (Lewis, Bryson, Samson, Maleo, Mandela, etc) are friendly and very helpful, they form a real team when it comes to driving together, spotting together, cooking together, setting up camp together. It is truly a remarkable bunch of people.
Once more a big thank you to everyone who made our dream of seeing all these animals (including the big 5) up close , in real life come true and withness the great wildebeest migration first hand. These truly are memories for life!
This is purely based on the safari experience, utterly PERFECT. Outside the Safari, there are two things the company needs to address:
1. The Jevas hotel in the city center is not what safari-tourists are looking for. There are plenty of better alternatives on booking.com (e.g. Songota Falls Lodge) that make you feel at home and give you a place to relax in connection with nature before and after the Safari.
2. The employees in the city were unprofessional in the briefing. The main concerns were payment, tips and reviews. Not the experience which is a shame. It would be nicer to go through the itinerary again and what to expect during the journey.

Professionalism with nice tour guide and incredible location
We had the most incredible 4 day adventure with Damien through the amazing Suricata Safari team. Damien was so welcoming from the start and had so much knowledge to share with us! Everyday he made sure that we saw so many animals and we had so much fun! The places we stayed were incredible landscapes, we did a tent Safari. Salim our chef made very delicious meals. It was the most amazing experience of our lives and we were so thankful that we got to experience it all with Damien. We saw the big 5 and Damien made sure we had the most perfect viewing angle. He had so much respect for the animals, the culture and Tanzania as a whole and we learnt so much from him. We will never forget the time we spent on our safari; the professionalism and care to ensure we had an amazing time was so special with a lots of gun. Thanks for an amazing trip to all members of Suricata Safari team!

Friendly kind and nice
We had great company with Damien, our tour guide, who made sure we were comfortable, safe and entertained. Everything was well organized. We really enjoyed the trip, we made jokes together, the whole energy and vibes were amazing. We managed to see all the big 5 animals even rare ones as well so we left extremely satisfied. We made really great memories together with the animals and him too. Nakupenda :)
