Great Experience
You can never get tired of seeing the wild animals and the guide and chef were both great. Suricata makes sure you are looked after from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

Great Safari experience
We did the 2 days safari trip at Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park. Everything went perfect. Suricata Safaris organized everything with care and professionalism.
The staff was nice and very friendly. They were willing to help us with everything and made us feel welcome and safe.
Thank you Daniel for your warm welcome.
Thank you Mandela for your care and the amazing two safari days.
It was a pleasure to have this safari experience with Suricata and you guys!

Exceedingly well managed experience of a stunning safari by Suricata - highly recommended!
Had an exceptional experience with Suricata safari’s 4 day safari across Tangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
From the booking experience itself - the Suricata team was highly responsive and patient in clarifying multiple queries and accommodating minor adjustments to the itinerary over multiple weeks - on email and WhatsApp. Their brochure is quite detailed on what to expect and carry, and only left room for pleasant surprises 😊
Like the fact that they provide exceptional food for every meal during the safari - freshly cooked by their accompanying team (that also setup the tents at campsites ahead of us)
Also, while Suricata doesn’t directly manage the public campsites we were put up at - the sites all had running water (with a small amount electrically heated if you get up early enough to use it), brick & cement stalls for showers and Eastern + Western style toilets, and the dinings halls also had a few charging points which we used for our phones & camera.
Our guide (Mandela) was exceptionally well informed, quite helpful and very communicative throughout the 4 days we were in his care - being driven around and shown the sites & sounds of various animals & birds across the different ecosystems we visited. We were lucky enough to spot lions, cheetahs, even a leopard, along with many elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, gazelles, wild boar, ostriches, flamingoes, jackals, hyenas…and a lot more 😬😃
Lastly, Suricata’s team managed our entire experience from pickups at the airport and our hotels - even on the days before and after our safari. Plus, helping arrange a local city tour in Arusha!

Delightful and well managed experience and stunning safari with Suricata - highly recommended!
We had an absolutely delightful experience with Suricata safari - the entire experience was seamlessly managed from travel, food to the actual safari making sure we had a memorable and hassle free experience.
The safari itself was stunning - all the parks Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti offer very different experiences and much recommend doing atleast one safari in each. Our guide (Mandela) was exceptionally well experienced and knowledgeable about the animals / birds and took us to the right spots (we saw 4 / 5 on our list - Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards etc - the cats are hard to spot and our guide was instrumental in taking us to the right spots early). We were delightful by the food as well - the chef that travelled with us (Salim) made sure there was freshly prepared food for each meal (combination of local and continental dishes / low spice - so everyone in the group Americans, Argentinians, Europeans, Indians were all very satisfied) - along with coffee (and wine!). The food in the middle of nowhere was divine - and much better compared to “packed meals” with others.
We opted for the camping option (with some trepidation) and were pleasantly surprised - all camp sites have a functioning washroom and bathroom facility (with running water / hot water in 2/3) - regularly cleaned and well maintained for what is literally middle of nowhere. It’s good to carry own toiletries but facilities are pretty decent. Tents are solid and each campsite has a mattress, pillow and a sleeping bag for each person.
Overall incredible experience with Suricata - highly recommend if you want a hassle free and delightful safari experience

Because od Suricata Safaris we were living our dream. Unforgettable. Very nice work!
The best honeymoon trip ever. Amazing experience to go to safari to Tanzania. It was so nice to see animals in their natural habitat and dive into them for a while. Agency is doing their job very properly from the beginning to the end. Very good communication, perfect lunches in wild and very careful service in camp. Amazing people there, I must mention perfect guide Mandela with nice accompany - our chef Salum. There are very nice guides in camps too. We chose lodges and it worth it. Very comfortable and modern tents. You are so close to animals (can see them, can hear them), but you feel very safe all the time. Very nice work guys. Thank you.

Absolutely perfect !
3 Safari Tour (Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) was propably the best experience in my life.
We saw all animals. We spent 3 days in wild nature with briliant guide Mandela, who knew every animal and their behaviour.
Big professional. We had also MasterChef Salum who made for us delicious food.
Accomodation was very clean and very beutiful. Also safe.
I can recommend to everybody.

Amazing!
We love it! The guide was great. A great eye for finding animals. He stopped whenever we asked. Super attentive. He cleared all our doubts. He took breaks along the way in places with bathrooms. The cook is also super attentive. Hot and super tasty food. Lots of variety and abundance. Hot and cold drinks. We loved the tours! I would definitely come back!

Big 5 with Damien
This safari was truely the most amazing experience! Suricata was an amazing company and I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone. My partner and I did the 5 day safari and had a great group and met some lovely people along the way.
Our guide Damien was amazing and always got us great spots to see the animals from. He worked really hard and we managed to spot all of the big 5 on our trip. He was friendly and very informative, and had a great sense of humour!!
The camping was a great experience and it was amazing to camp in the national parks. Chef James’s food was exceptional and I was blown away by the quality of the food. The whole team was very accommodating and I was impressed that the safari cars were washed down at the end of each day.
The whole team was always punctual and very professional. We had the best time and will 100% be back and would love to do another safari with Suricata!
