Amazing and affordable safari!
Just got back from an awesome 5 day safari with Suricata. What an awesome experience! I was a solo traveller and was able to join with some others to make a group. We visited 4 different parks and each was unique. We were able to see so many animals! Our guide James was awesome- incredibly knowledgeable and also kept using laughing with his jokes and stories! 2 nights were spent camping in the campgrounds inside the parks which I preferred- we had buffalo outside our tents at night and woke up to zebras in the camp in the morning! The other 2 nights were spent in a campsite in a nearby town which was less wild (think wifi, hot showers and a swimming pool) which is not as fun to me, but some people might prefer that style of camping. The food cooked by Tito was great- it was awesome to have delicious hot meals for lunch every day while many other groups were having sandwiches. Thanks for a great trip!

Highly recommend this local tour group!
We have just returned from an incredible 3 day tour with Suricata Safaris around the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. We saw so many animals inc. lion, leopard, cheetah, herds of elephants and even baby giraffe but will have to come back to see the rhino! Mandela was our guide - he was very knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent driver. The tour was exceptionally well organised, and despite there being lots of opportunity for things to go wrong, it all ran very smoothly. We opted for the budget tour wanting to camp in the Serengeti and save costs, the equipment provided is good quality and food is excellent (Teto is a great chef!). Tip - ensure to pack everything on the packing list provided! The toilets, while basic, were actually better than we expected given the remoteness of location. Overall, we felt the tour was very good value for money given the price of competitors, and exceeded our expectations.

Truly unforgettable experience
We had and absolutely incredible experience with Suricata Safaris, it felt highly organised, well-run and their team clearly take pride what they do.
We opted for the 2 night 3 day safari, including Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Safe to say the trip far exceeded expectations - we saw all the ‘big 5’ apart from the black rhino, as well as lots of other exciting animals. Our driver Mandela was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the parks and its animals. He was also a very competent driver, which, given some of the unsettled terrain, meant we always felt safe and at ease in the truck.
The camping equipment was of a decent quality (warm sleeping bags and pillows provided) which was welcome during the cool evenings. The facilities at the campsites were relatively basic but clean and better than expected given the location and all added to the experience. Our chef Tito ensured we were sufficiently fed with tasty meals throughout the day.
Whilst there are some long journeys in between the parks, this didn’t detract from the overall experience and ensured we were able to cover the main sights in a short space of time.
I would 100% recommend Suricata Safaris for a truly unforgettable experience and special thanks to Mandela and Tito for looking after us so well

everything was really great. we are completely satisfied.Thank you
I can confidently say that it was one of the biggest adventures we've had so far. We spent 5 days and 6 nights in the National Parks, the food and accommodations exceeded all expectations. Our guide Freddie was very well prepared and told us a lot of interesting information about each animal. I don't think there is a question that he doesn't know the answer to. Suricata Safaris was the best decision!
If we return to Tanzania, we will definitely meet! Hakuna Matata!

Knowledgeable, helpful and easy to book.
Hilary and the team made it really easy to book when we were back in Australia. Giving us a solid itinerary for when we arrived. All transfers were included making it super easy. It was then followed up with Frederick our guide who was super passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as answering some of my questions and giving us some insight on how life in Tanzania is.
