Greatest adventure with great company
The greatest tour I have ever been on (7 day in Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Suricata made every step of the way worry free and hassle free. Their vehicle was great (comfortable and capable with no issues), great lodging choices (the angata serengeti is my new favorite stay anywhere), good food (we actually had hot meals for lunch everyday). Our guide (Ezekiel) was super friendly/cool, knew the areas like the back of his hand, is very in tune and knowledge with the animals behaviors/tendencies leading to great wildlife viewing & a very capable driver (not getting stuck like others we saw when conditions worsened due to rain).
Also props for being a Tanzania owned company, there are a lot of foreign owned operators. Support local.
I would take the same tour again in the future... No doubt!

Great guys who know what they’re doing
The best thing about this company is that they had excellent communication from start to finish. I was picked up and dropped off from Kilimanjaro Airport at the beginning and end. Every team member was friendly and reliable. We saw other tour groups get stuck in the mud (rainy season) but not us! Many other guides also stopped to ask our tour guide James for advice on where to go in the park. He is University trained in wildlife and conservation, and knows his stuff. The food (thanks Tito) and accommodation was really good, if you’re doing a safari I recommend biting the bullet and camping. Make sure you include the Ngorongo Crater (paradise), and the Simba camp site was excellent. They were flexible and we weren’t funnelled through any tourist traps. My only tip when joining this tour is to BYO sleeping bag liner, as it can get pretty cold at night depending on the season. Thanks guys for a great experience

Very attentive and great accommodation!
Excellent safari experience! Superfast when replying to all my questions prior to arrival. Once there, I was accommodated to Tulia Hotel which was fine/ok. The booking proceedure went very smooth. Safari was great and our driver, Lewis was very friendly and informative. If we had any logistical questions the Suricata team was just one What’s App message away answering all our questions. Our Benjamin did really good food and every meal was a joy! Our mid-range lodging was way more than I expected! The different places were marvellous and had anything you’ve asked for and more! The safari ended with a debrief and they really wanted our opinions and how they can improve! That was very impressive and wise! I can highly recommend Suricata!

Excellent safari even in partly raining December
We cleared all the big 5 and others during our safari. Elephants, cheetahs, leopards, buffalos, lions, hippos, rhinos, zebras, hyenas, jackals, warthogs, jackals, impalas, various antelopes, wildebeests, monkeys, and I'm even checking whether I missed any other. Silas and James were knowledgeable and trustworthy guides, being very responsible to take care of everyone's satisfaction at every moment. In our batch we had two cars, and our guy Silas ensured each one had enough time to appreciate the animals and take good pictures and videos of them. Tito was an unbelievable chef cooking great meals at public camps, still makes me wonder how it is even possible. Sleeping in tents and taking shower at camp facilities were all okay for us, but some people may find it cold in early morning and not too neat in shared showers. At night, wild animals roam around your tent and may scare you, but nothing to worry too much if you abide by the safety rules. 6 people from different places of the world with different experiences travel together, and 12 people had meals together, adding interesting spices to the trip. All in all, it is the experience worth having in your life and I totally recommend this safari. One last thing is the weather, the rainy season could be a bit cold to you. You may get wet if you sest on the back row which is not covered when the roof is open, so make sure you wear gore-tex or any waterproof jacket if coming in the rainy season. Still, unless the road is too problematic, nothing will hinder you from seeing the animals. So, go for it.

All around great experience
We did a 5-day lodge safari with James as a guide. Everything was amazing, and we saw all the imaginable animals. James went above and beyond expectations with his knowledge, sharp eye and stories. Lodges were also great and food cooked by the company chef as well. Would recommend! They maintained a respectful distance from the animals, something that cannot be said for other providers.

Great safari experience!
Very well organised safari from the beginning to the end. Great staff - manager, guide/driver and sheff. We really enjoyed our 2 nights and 3 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We chose the camping option, so we were provided with tents and sleeping bags. I would definitely recommend this provider.
