An amazing experience with obviously the best company around
Wow! I can not recommend Suricata safaris enough and I will be doing to all my friends and family. If I could give more than five stars, then I would, from beginning to end, Suricata were amazing. From the initial email communication and organisation to on the ground support. They were flexible and great communicators, catering to every need. As soon as we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted very warmly and given a full briefing of what to expect from our safari, so we were fully prepared.
We asked to do a local tour of Arusha which they organised last minute with a great guide Chuke, who showed us the real Arusha, including important monuments, hidden gems and visited a local restaurant with delicious food, Chuke educated us so much on the culture and history of the town.
Then we started our safari with Mandela as our guide for the 3 day safari across the Serengeti & Ngorongoro and it’s safe to say we were in the best hands. Mandela is a clear expert on the animals, culture and environment and also shared so much insight into Tanzania as a country, the most knowledgable, skilled guide in both safari & driving, this was also recognised by other guides that we met on our trip, he really is a genuine, nice and honourable man. We’re so grateful that we got to have him as our guide and are leaving Tanzania with a once in a lifetime experience, seeing incredible animals and meeting brilliant people. The food and lodges during our trip were incredible too and everything was organised to a tee, we already can’t wait to come back!

One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best.
One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best. Mr. Twalbu gave me enough explanations about the tour before starting the safari tour and listened to our story. He was very kind and he felt good even before the tour started. We booked late and went on a safari tour with another company that is working with Surikata, but it didn't feel bad because there was enough explanation about it. I had a problem with my car during the safari, but the guide responded quickly, so I was able to switch to another car in a short time. Our guides and chefs fulfilled their roles and I was very happy with it. The airport pick-up service and the condition of the accommodation I stayed before the safari tour were also good! Thank you for making good memories, Suricata:)

The best way to start my new year!
I’m going to rewatch the Lion King all over again to get all the references!!
I’ve seen king lion chomping on a Cape buffalo, hyenas waiting for him to finish, having fights with juvenile lions, I’ve seen giraffes, zebras, gazelles, hippopotamus, a cheetah, a crocodile, tons of birds! even a black kite stole a drumstick off my plate under the rain!!
With a great guide and drive from Damian knowing the terrains and all facts about animals, Saleem the amazing chef with more than 35 new dishes including sweets, and the companion of the lovely Monica and Alexandro from Italy and the amazing Rachael, I went there with my friend Ali and came out with 5 more lifetime friends.
I slept in tents and lodges, all with hot water, toilet paper and comfy setup, between clouds and woke up to animal calls, one other group showed us loins eating a wildebeest next to their tent.. We’ve seen amazing things others missed, and others had an experience worth taking another trip to get, Safari kept giving, and Maasai people and lands took my heart for sure!
Suricata Safari really did make my trip amazing, picking up from Arusha airport and dropping me off back to the airport.
Would recommend.
Best new year start ever!

I want to say a huge thank you to the organization of the safari) everything was wonderful
I want to say a huge thank you to the organization of the safari) everything was wonderful, from the moment we met you at the airport and checked into the hotel until the moment we met you in the morning and went on the safari itself! our guide was simply wonderful... as soon as we saw a lion far away in a field, he immediately went to show us closer!!! He also drove as comfortably as possible. Next, I would like to say thank you to the organization itself for checking into the camp and placing you in tents! all at the highest level!! special thanks to the cook... it was as delicious as possible ❤️ pasta pizza omelette ❤️ rice special love ❤️ then after the safari they checked us into a hotel again, helped us sort out the money ❤️ but most importantly, the next day, since we had time before the plane, we were taken to an art gallery and taken to eat at a local cafe ❤️ and then delivered to the airport with music and dancing ❤️ there is simply no more friendly company ❤️ I will recommend you to everyone ❤️ Tanzania is simply love not only because of the beauty, but most importantly the best people ❤️ thank you so much ❤️

Excellent company, they give what they promise.
We loved the 5-day safari with Suricata Safaris. Everything happened as it was fixed before. Our guide, Mandela is a very friendly person, he knows everything about the natural parks. His attitude to the Nature is brilliant. Our cook, Tito presented every day very delicious meals, 3 times a day.
"Asante sana" for everything.

Reasonable price, best tour.
We went on a game drive with a Mandela guide. I liked that it explained animals and Tanzania in general in an easy and detailed way. And it was always comfortable and the vehicle was positioned as close to the animals as possible, so it was really easy to take pictures. Mandela was truly professional, kind, and humorous, so I was grateful. Be sure to pick up Mandela as your guide.
The price is more reasonable than other tour companies, and I am satisfied with the overall service, including food and professionalism.
We did a 4-day safari tour and saw all the Big 5. Good luck to you too.
And on the last day, I stayed at Simba Campsite A, and it was a great experience to be able to see and hear buffalo grazing right in front of the tent at night. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it for the rest of my life, really!
