Amazing experience
Excellent experience! Our guide, Elias, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the park and its animals. We saw the big five animals and much more. Everything was very professional and well executed from start to finish of our 3-day excursion. Mr.T met us at our hotel before and after the trip to answer our questions and prepare us for the tour. The food prepared by our chef Salim was delicious and the campsites were well maintained and located in the middle of the parks, with superb views. We are very happy that we decided to explore the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Suricata and can only recommend it!

Book with Suricata!!
Honestly an amazing experience. If we had more time I would have done a few more days. This company took time to send John (who was lovely) to our hotel to give us a briefing of what to expect for our Safari tour, we didn't have time for the briefing until late the night before, yet they still went out of their way to send him down and he was so good and had us prepared. Our guide for the full two days Augustino was the best you could ask for, so informed on the animals and considering you pass a lot of Maasai people, he knew a lot about their culture and history. He was also just a fun guy all around.
As for the actual safari experience, it was incredible, understandably and something I very much appreciate is you cannot be guaranteed to see all the animals no matter what safari you do, if you want guarantee, you'd go to a zoo. However, Augustino knew the right places where animals may be hiding or resting and on our first day we managed to catch 3 of the Big 5, which was very lucky. Second day we managed to hit 4 of the Big 5 which we were super happy with. Water and local beer provided which was a nice little perk to chill in the back looking for animals with a beer in hand.
Absolutely 0 complaints with accommodation, we prepared for camping but were stoked to find we were staying at a lodge which was actually quite nice.
When it comes to food, I definitely think breakfast could be improved, as I just like a heartier breakfast to start my day and I found the options very not to my taste, but that's 100% personal preference. When it came lunch and dinner though, it was too good and we were having lunch in some wicked spots. Dinner was even better I was super happy with all that we got.
Great company in general to deal with would do it again and again

An expertly guided, professional safari experience!
What a wonderful experience! My girlfriend and I decided on the 3-day camping trip from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and were super happy with our decision. We saw the big 5 and so much more thanks to our expert guide, Elias, who made sure we stayed on schedule during a jam packed trip. He was a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, the country, and the culture. Our dedicated chef, Salim, cooked amazing balanced meals (we kept joking that the safari meals were the best we had so far in Tanzania). The team set up and tore down camp quickly every day and the campsites were clean and had breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape (we woke up to a group of zebras chowing down 5 feet from our tent). Mr. T met with us at our hotel before and after the trip to answer all our questions and make sure we were prepared for a fun and comfortable trip. Overall, I would highly recommend this safari tour provider to anyone looking for great value, expert guides, and a safe, fun, professional experience.

Unforgettable experience!
My daughter and I had an amazing trip which exceeded our expectation! From the time I contacted you few months ago to the time we completed the safari, we were comminuted everything clearly and timely. Our guide Rocky made the experience unforgettable. We were able to see the big 5 and so many more animals! Everyone is so nice and helpful. The food was excellent and having cooked meals (no lunch box) every lunch was great and so good! The accommodations were great and the food was great as well! Just a magic moment! Highly recommend it!

Suricata exceeded all our expectations
We really had an amazing time during our 6 days midrange safari in Tanzania with Suricata, which exceeded all our expectations. The communication and explanation before the safari was very clear and detailed, with the airport pick-up and the briefing. Thank you so much to our guide Freddy who has made our safari very special, with his passion of wildlife and nature, his great experience of the parks, his patience in answering all our questions and his happiness. We've had so many interesting discussions and nice moments with him, we felt comfortable at all times and we learned a lot. The accomodations inside the parks were amazing, with great hospitality from the camps staff, impressive organisation, and beautiful and comfortable tents in the middle of the nature. The meals, whether at the camps or during the safari were of great quality and quantity.
Thank you also to Chuke and Daniel for the briefings before and after the safari. We will never forget this amazing experience in Tanzania and we would recommend Suricata to anyone.

Best Safari you'll find in Tanzania
The overall experience was impecable, the company really takes care of every detail. We were picked up from the airport and taken to our accomodation where we were received by the company for a short briefing. The day after we were picked up by the Guide and headed off to the parks. Our guide Freddy, was incredibly knowledgeable, he answered all of our questions with great detail and patience. He is very passionate about wildlife and you can feel it in every aspect of the game drives. He was so caring about our well being and made sure we were happy and comfortable the whole trip, always with a smile in his face. We shared a lot of great moments and discussions with him, just a pleasure to be around.
The accomodations we stayed in exceeded our expectations in every way, Tanzanian hospitality at its best. The rooms and tented lodges were beautiful and really comfortable, the service was impecable and the food was great in all the accomodations, as well as the lunches (warm meals) during the game drives.
Thank you Suricata for making this trip unforgettable! Thanks to Choke and Daniel for your help, the briefings and feedback sessions. And of course thanks to Freddy for making every day of the trip so fun and interesting!!
Hopefully see you very soon again!

It was the most amazing experience in my life. The Serengeti park and Ngorongoro crater is just so beautiful. The trip was from other world. The guide Amiri was the best of all times! And the chef James was incredible. If I could, I would repeat next weekend as well.

Immersing experience
The 4-day adventure Safari with Suricata Safaris was amazing and exceeded our expectations in many ways! In only 4 days you get the chance to see three different National Parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), so it's perfect if you don't have a lot of time. We saw the big five and many other species. The camping experience outside (1 night) and inside (2 nights) the national park really added to the adventure feel. The guide was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make us spot the animals. The food (also veggie) every day was freshly cooked by the accompanying cook and tasted great. Really recommended tour and worth every penny!
