Awesome and Caring
The experience with Suricata Safaris was honestly amazing. All the places we went were lovely and unexpected (of course in a positif way).
We saw all the animals we wanted to see, and our guide, Mandela, took time to explain everything / answer to our questions about the animals, Tanzanie etc.
He is a wonderful person (amazing cooker too !!) who truly loves nature.
Anyway, everything was perfect and somehow better than I was expected.
Thanks again guys !
Asante ! Hakuna Matata.

Best Value for mid range group Safari with top quality accommodation & amazing service
We did a 5 day group mid-range safari with Suricata. It really exceeded our expectations because we saw the Big Five within the first 3 days and even saw tree climbing lions, a leopard resting on a tree, and a cheetah searching for a prey.
Hilary was very prompt in replying to our queries and made the booking process easy. We booked last minute but he managed to get us the same quality and style accommodation as those ones in the brochure.
Dickson, our guide/driver, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife. He accommodated all our requests, making sure we were comfortable and had the best spot for viewing and taking photos.
We stayed in one mid-range lodge and three tented camps. Suricata chose very tastefully decorated tents that were simple, super comfortable and had everything we needed to rest for the next day. The tented camps inside the Serengeti and Ngorongoro were not fenced and it was just amazing to hear hyenas calling out, and zebras and water buffalos grazing outside your tent as you lay in bed. They served 3 course meal for dinner which was really good and tasty with a simple breakfast of toast, pancakes, cereal, eggs, bacon and sausages.
Make sure you bring warm clothes and jackets for layering as it gets cold in the evening, while it is warm during the day. Ngorongoro is quite high up and gets a bit chilly even during the day.
Overall, this package is really great value for the price. Suricata even arranged accommodation on the night before and after our tour with airport transfer. The organization was seamless and we didn’t have to worry about anything at all. Everyone from booking, airport pickup, briefing, check in and check out, and the tour itself, provided 7 star service every single time and made us want to come back and do it all over again.
We will definitely recommend Suricata to all our family and friends.

Lifetime experience
We used Suricata Safaris for a 4 day tent safari in the national parks of Tanzania (tarangire, ngoro ngoro and serengeti) and for the 6 day kilimanjaro climb along the Machame route.
What can I say, they were exceptional experiences from all points of view: the company is very organized, they think of everything, from airport transfers to hotel nights between activities and the day of arrival, always available and present and more than attentive to customer feedback. All the people who accompanied and assisted us were fantastic, always with a smile on their faces and attentive to our every request.
Not to mention the food: both during the Safari and on the kilimanjaro we had 2 chefs (Musa and Gasto) who delighted us with many African and non-African specialties.
The guides, both of the Safari (Vincent) and of the kilimanjaro (Fred and Adam) were the top, always smiling and willing to give us any information we needed.
Both the Safari and the kilimanjaro were 2 experiences that we will always remember, and this thanks to Suricata Safaris.
Asante sana!

Amazing experience - everything was professional and well planned.
Amazing experience! The guide was very good and had so much information about all of the animals. He was very keen on taking us to many different kind of animals and not just the ‘popular’ ones. Very authentic to sleep in the nature. It is very cold in NgoroNgoro, remember to bring warm clothes. The food was very nice, especially the breakfast. Can definitely recommend this company - I feel like it is the best experience to the absolute best price. They also offer transport to and from the airport and the manager will come the day before departure and explain about the trip

AMAZING
WOW!!! What a amazing experience, I highly recommend doing a safari with this company, they are very efficient friendly and organised. They planned everything for us from a airport pick up to a hotel which they booked for before and after the safari. The safari itself was fantastic.. we managed to do a lot and see a lot in this time, we stayed in tents which was amazing listening to the animals during the night and the chef was fantastic also. No complaints with any of the guides and again, I really recommend using this company. Also they are they prompt with any questions or queries leading up to the safari. I would give 6 stars if I could .
Thanks again suricata safaris

Incredible Safari for our honeymoon
Suricata Safari has been the best partner ever during both planning and execution phase. We have been performing a luxury safari in lodges and tented camps between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All the accomodations have been perfect, secure and clean. Also all the meals we got in the middle of the savana have been incredible. Nothing to compare with the most of the other companies that are offering lunch boxes every day making customers annoyed.
Last but not the least our guide Ezekiel has been impressive. He was very skilled in driving and he knows by heart every single spot of all the northern parks. He was able to spot a rhino from more than 500 meters allowing us to complete the big 5 list and he was also able to find the perfect spot far from the most of the cars to let us see the mara river crossing with an incredible view.
I totally suggest you to trust this company.

Amazing 3 day safari
Such an amazing experience! Our guide, Rocky, was incredible. From the moment we left Arusha to the moment we returned he made sure we had a great experience and were well taken care of. He knew where to go inside the parks to see every animal possible and in 3 days we got to see the big 5! Can’t recommend Suricata safaris more! Thanks for an unforgettable trip!
