One of the best experiences ever!
The 3-day safari in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater were fabulos. Our guide - Rocky - made sure that we don’t miss any of the Big5 mammals, but also that we see the Ugly5 and Beauty5 animals in the parks. We had such good spots to see the animals and to take photos.
Besides the drive games, the experience in the camping was also quite special. We had one night in Serengeti in a very small camping site without electricity so we could enjoy the sounds of the savana. We woke up with giraffes nearby. The second night was in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, at 2800 meters altitude. It was cold but we woke up with an elephant nearby.
One last thing, we had an amazing chef with us. He cooked three hot meals every day. It felt so good to eat together in the jungle.
So … thank you Suricata Safari! We’re the best!

An experience to last a lifetime
The whole experience was unbelievable. Our guide, Rocky, spot every animal and offered us a lot of information about their life. We were able to see the big five, but also the beautiful five and the ugly five. I will not uncovered more, because you have to see it yourself. At the end it was very difficult to choose only one thing as the best. Everything was the best. Including the food thanks to chef Pius.
It worth every dollar!

Just Amazing ! I already wanna go back again!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a 4-day, 3-night safari that exceeded all my expectations. Our accommodations were in luxurious tents that provided an authentic yet comfortable experience under the stars. The nights were absolutely amazing, with the sounds of the wild adding a magical touch.
The safari drives were nothing short of spectacular. Our drivers, Macha from Travel to Africa and Ezekiel from Suricata, showcased exceptional driving skills and an incredible depth of knowledge about the wildlife. Their expertise ensured that we had thrilling encounters with the Big Five, making the safari truly unforgettable.
The culinary experience was equally impressive, thanks to our talented chef who prepared delicious meals that added a touch of gourmet to our adventure.
A special mention goes to Halima from Suricata, who was outstanding in her role. She meticulously arranged every aspect of our trip, from the initial planning to the final day, and was always available to provide detailed information and assistance during the safari.
Overall, this safari was a remarkable journey filled with excitement, comfort, and unforgettable moments, all thanks to the exceptional team that made it possible.

Lewis Rocks
The Driver made the difference. Lewis was safe, knowledgeable and more than experienced. We left from Arusha to Serengeti, then finished through Ngorongoro. Was able to see the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. Highly recommend and will do this again.

Trip of a lifetime
This was a trip of a lifetime for us. We saw all five of the big five and five of the ugly five. The accommodations were impressive with five star treatment. Chefs were outstanding. It’s worth upgrading accommodations. This was the best vacation with so many memories.

Outstanding experience! Couldn't recommend enough.
The whole experience was incredible! From the driver and guide, food, accommodation, views and landscape and of course beautiful Tanzania and seeing the wildlife up close. Our guide Freddie was extremely knowledgeable! From questions about the animals, plants, and Tanzania itself, there was nothing he couldn't answer and made our experience what it was. The animals up close were great seeing everything from lions eating a kill to elephants, cheetahs and leopards. All our accommodation was fantastic too, sleeping in the Serengeti and the Crater hearing the animals at night. The staff at all the camps too were amazing, so attentive, friendly and welcoming - we loved the singing and dancing and the food was incredible, all 3 course meals. The picnics with the group at lunchtime too were also great and prepared fresh. The accommodation was of outstanding standard too, even in the middle of nowhere the facilities were great. I couldn't recommend Suricata enough, we were here for our honeymoon and already can't wait to come back for our anniversary to explore more, of course booking with Suricata and hopefully see Freddie again! And Tanzania in general - what a country! Would recommend visiting to anyone and experiencing the beauty and warmth it has to offer.

Incredible Experience on 5 Day Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara
We had a tremendous 5 day tour with our incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming and generally great guy, Fredy. He answered all of our questions and we had a really good rapport with him, sharing meals and generally chatting along the longer drives to the National Parks.
From start to finish we had the most amazing time. We stayed in fantastic accommodation, with a particular highlight being two nights at Suricata’s own, Suricata Boma Lodge. It’s amazing there. Not only did we see an array of amazing animals but also captured the Milky Way by Lake Manyara which was an unexpected and welcome surprise. In terms of the game viewing, it was superb. We saw lions, leopards, hyenas, hippos, cheetahs, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, impalas, baboons, monkeys, snakes, lizards, vultures and array of other birds. Fredy was like a human encyclopaedia with his knowledge. We tested him with many questions and not once did he not have an answer.
Our group was great, and we made friends along the way which was an added bonus. We ate incredibly well thanks to the food prepared by our chef Saleem. Also a top guy.
Daniel, who conducted our pre-briefing and post-briefing was fantastic too. Very informative and a nice guy who we could relate to.
We will never forget this experience and will absolutely recommend Suricata to our friends. Fredy is the man! We will miss him.
This safari completed our honeymoon and finally, we love Tanzania and feels like it is a second home.
Asante Sana

Excellent all around!
I recently came back from a four-day tent/camping safari with Suricata that included Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Tarangir NP. I think it will be quite some time before I fully grasp all that I saw and experienced from the awesome wildlife to the incredible landscapes.
A huge part of this once in a lifetime, awesome experience is due to the care and attention received Suricata. From the very beginning, they were responsive to my messages and answered all of my questions so much so that I felt comfortable choosing them out of the many possibilities. They also offered round trip transportation from JRO to Arusha as well as hotel accommodation the night before the safari began.
During the safari, we had clean tents setup for us and absolutely out of this world delicious food prepared for us breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food in particular far exceeded my expectations for the entirety of the safari.
Our guide and driver was the friendliest and most informative throughout the safari doing his best to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible. Of the big five, we saw four (the elusive leopard was just that — elusive). We saw 20+ lions, including some that were just feet away from our truck as well as a cheetah.
All in all, I enthusiastically recommend Suricata. At the moment, I am living in Nairobi, and when my parents come to visit — I will use Suricata again to plan their safari.
