Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our trip with Suricata Safaris was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by all the staff at Suricata, especially our guide Damian and our cook Samson ("Cachada" aka Mr Delicious Food 😊).
The safari was undoubtedly a wonderful experience, peppered with magnificent wildlife encounters and enriched by Damian's great insights into the animals' behaviour and habitat.
Not forgetting, of course, the fantastic meals prepared for us by Samson, who introduced us to traditional Tanzanian cuisine.
Finally, each campsite offered a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in nature. Waking up to the sight of wild animals and falling asleep to the sounds of the night was an unspeakable and incomparable experience!
Thank you Suricata for an unforgettable experience in the heart of Africa!
We hope to return soon to share more memories with you.

It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life.
It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. The people at Suricata Safari were always super friendly and super welcoming. On the arrival flight to Arusha I left my wallet on the plane and the staff at Suricata Safari were super helpful. They immediately contacted the airport and were able to recover my wallet. As for the Safari days, they couldn't have been better. Our guide, Damien, knew everything about all the animals we saw, took us to the best places in the parks, was super fun and created a super relaxed atmosphere among everyone. We were able to see Cheetahs eating, lions mating, lion cubs, a leopard, huge elephants, wildebeests, zebras and many other animals.
A special thank you also to the cook who traveled with us, Samson, who always cooked for us and made this trip much more delicious and welcoming.
Anyone thinking of going on a Safari in Tanzania should choose Suricata Safari. Are the best!!

Best safari of my life!
Best trip of our lives with Suricata Safari! If you get a chance, choose Damien as your guide. He is the most welcoming tour guide ever, knows all about the animals and makes sure you are always confortable. The love for the work he does is noticeable. We were really lucky and got to spot all the big five, but even if you miss one or two, you will not be sorry as the rest of the wildlife as well as the landscapes are completely breath taking. We went in early July and got to see a lot of cubs and animals hunting for food as well. Perfect trip for couples.
P.s.: everyday you get warm breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the food could not have been better. Trust us, we are from Portugal and really love our food.

Top notch concierge service
You’ll get your money’s worth and then some. Suricata safari went above and beyond to ensure we toured all the places we were likely to find game , provided a private chef who was with us throughout the four days and provided cooked meals ; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We had a fantastic time camping outdoors. Be sure to bring mosquito repellant for the last day of your tour.

Perfect
The trip was perfect from start to finish. Damian our guide and Samsun (kashada) the cook were both amazing. They were both super nice and very professional. Damian was an excellent driver and animal spotter. We managed to witness some rare moments. All over the trip the food was amazing. To resume it was beyond our expectations

Suricata is the best tour company.
It was the best safari experience for 2 nights and 3 days. Choosing the tour with suricata was the best choice. The office staff was friendly and quick to give feedback and listened to even the most difficult requests. The guide also tried his best to show us as many animals as possible. Thanks to the guide, we saw all the Big 5. And the food they cooked for us during 2 nights and 3 days was the best. I would like to sincerely thank all the staff at suricata for giving us an unforgettable Tanzania safari tour. I highly recommend this company.

completely satisfied
I wasn't particularly interested in safaris, but I really enjoyed the safari tour I happened to go on.
Thanks to the Mandela guide, I saw all the Big 5 I expected (the animals were so cute) and the trip was comfortable thanks to the friendly explanations and good driving. Fortunately, it was a great experience where I was able to meet good friends and try African food. People who go to the bathroom frequently do not need to worry because they often stop at clean restrooms.
Moreover, Surikata has a good system and seems to keep its promises well, so I think Koreans will be satisfied.

Serengeti Dreams Come True: An Extraordinary Safari Journey
This safari tour with Suricata Safaris was absolutely perfect. On the very first day, we witnessed the incredible animal migration, with the entire grassland filled with zebras and wildebeests - it was a truly spectacular sight. Later on, we also spotted rhino, cheetahs, leopards, prides of lions, herds of buffalo, elephant and giraffe as well as many other animals.
Our guide, Eliasi, was exceptionally dedicated and responsible. He took us around to find animals and was incredibly accurate in his tracking. He also shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and patiently answered all our questions. The chef prepared delicious meals for us every day, and the accommodation was excellent, especially the lodges in the Serengeti National Park and next to Lake Manyara, which offered stunning views. As a solo traveller, I don't need to share the lodge room with other people.
All in all, this safari tour is undoubtedly one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken in my many years of traveling. The breathtaking animal encounters, knowledgeable guide, great food, and comfortable lodging all contributed to an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish. I cannot recommend Suricata Safaris highly enough to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime.
