Amazing
The tour guide was amazing! We had such a great time with the group as well as seeing all the animals. The scenery was surreal. I would highly recommend this safari company as the food, the guide and campsites were amazing! The service was great. No complaints at all

Exemplary Outfitter for an Unforgettable Safari
We chose the 4-day mid-range group safari tour to Serengeti, Terengire and Ngorongoro with Suricata, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our decision. We worked with Glory to make our reservations and it was seamless, she answered all our questions diligently and helped us arrive at a decision quickly. Daniel was there in Arusha to receive us and provide a quick briefing (detailed daily briefings were provided by the guide each day).
Our guide was Damien, his expertise and professionalism were unparalleled. He was not only knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystems but also passionate about conservation. He was a great spotter and his intimate understanding of animal behaviour led to incredible sightings like a pride of 11 lions trying to hunt buffaloes or early morning playfulness of the elephants, making each game drive an exhilarating experience.
The accommodations for mid-range package were mostly tented lodges. These were meticulously maintained and offered the perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the natural surroundings. We had breakfast and dinner at the lodges. Lunches were prepared by our group's chef Musa, which we mostly had at picnic areas inside the parks.
There were last minute changes to the itinerary and accommodations in Arusha and one of the lodges. The changes to the hotel in Arusha was communicated to us on the day of arrival to Arusha. Our only feedback to Suricata was to communicate any updates to the bookings as early as possible. Daniel received the feedback positively, expressing appreciation for the insights shared and demonstrating a willingness to incorporate suggestions for further improvement.
For this reason and everything else mentioned above, I'm very impressed with Suricata. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania!

An outstanding safari experience with Suricata!
My friend and I had a great experience with Suricata! We chose a mid-tier, 3-nights/4-days safari.
Glory, who handled the itinerary and booking, impressed us with her professionalism and warmth. She diligently curated a high-quality package for us. Daniel, our local contact & briefer, was a pleasure to work with. He personally briefed us before the safari, giving us insights into what to expect, and later, he met with us after the safari to gather feedback. He was dedicated to ensuring we were happy with every aspect of our experience.
Our safari guide, Damian, was not only enjoyable company but also a skilled spotter, ensuring optimal chances to spot the Big 5 at close quarters. We benefited from his extensive knowledge of animals, birds, and their habitats. It was evident he was passionate about creating the best safari experience for the group. Chef Moosa prepared delicious picnic lunches every day.
The accommodations at Angata lodges in Serengeti & Ngorongoro, and the Suricata Boma lodge near Terengire were fantastic. The service at all three lodges was truly special. Suricata’s team made sure we had a great experience from start to finish.

These 3 days where amazing. We saw so many animals, up close and even in action. Thousands of animals and all the big 5.
Lodge acomodation is worth the cost. We slept with a hipo near the bedroom.

Unforgettable memories
It was the most amazing experience going on a 4 day safari with Suricata Safaris. I was in a nice group with five other people and we had so much fun and enjoyed every moment. Our guide Ezechiel did a very good job, explained everything, had an answer to all of our questions and let us take our time while watching the animals. Tito, our cook, cooked the best meals I had during my whole time spending in Tanzania. It was a mix out of traditional tanzanian and international kitchen. So good! When it was my birthday on safari he also made me a cake. Everyone of the Suricata team was just so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend going on a safari with you guys. Asante sana for all of the great memories I made!

Were well prepared and considered all of our needs (questions, food etc)
We had a great experience! Our guide (Freddy) was amazing! He tried his best to catch views of all the wild life. He explained a lot and literally knew everything when there were questions. Campsite was completely fine. Basic but fine. Meals and water were included and they made sure to consider our eating preferences (vegan). The meals were delicious and food was plenty. They gave us a little bit of wine in the evening and took care lf us after the trip. All in all it's been an amazing experience.

Excellent, The operator provides everything
Immersed in nature not only as a safari, but also sleeping in campsites, everyone had their own tent, good food and a very helpful guide
The experience of camping in such a particular context as that of the safari is beautiful

Best safari ever
We‘ve been 2days Serengeti and 1day Ngorongoro-Crater. We were five and two people from another Hostel, germans like us. We had Fredy as a Guide and James as a Chef of cooking. The Tour was excellent, Fredy 10 from 10 points as a Guide and Driver. The Food was very good and more than enough. The Camping places were good. We would do it again like this.
