Reviews
Perfect camping safari experience
This safari and experience was fantastic! We’ve both been on previous safaris and we were very, very impressed with both our guide and chef that accompanied us the entire safari. Our chef Mussa accommodated three different food allergies and preferences among a group of six like a total pro. The food was incredible - multiple courses for every meal, each of which was delicious — we always left meals extra full and satisfied. Our guide Damien was lighthearted, fun, knowledgeable about all the animals, and always positioned the vehicle in the exact right spot for best viewing and photo opportunities. He clearly knew many of the other guides and companies and was often getting intel on where to find the hardest-to-spot animals. Both Mussa and Damien had phenomenal attitudes, carried such joy, and were incredibly hard workers. This was incredibly reasonably priced for a 5-day safari, although do note this trip encompasses four nights of camping. The campsites in general were beautiful and clean, but the Serengeti location lacked hot water. Alas, you’re sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti which is an incredible experience in and of itself! We didn’t sleep a wink during our night at the Ngorongoro campsite due to Buffalo grazing and sniffing right around our tent but we’d do it again in a heartbeat because that was so cool!!!! Mussa and Damien made the trip what it was. I’d choose Suricata again any day. Don’t hesitate to book!! :))

3 days 4 nights safari
Guide Damian and cook Musa were super professional and cool. I trust them a lot. Their 3 days 4 nights safari was perfect for me. Every single meal was great and Musa is a master of Tanzanian cuisine.

Kind and skilled professional
It was always my dream to watch animals in the wild nature. As honeymoon, we chose to visit Tanzania for safari tour. Before, I was a little bit worried about my decision but it turned out to be wrong. The experience was so fantastic.
Before safari starts, we were given detailed briefing about safari from Daniel. He was so professional and explained everything in detail without confusion, and also tried to arrange the best tour plan.
On first day, we met our guide and driver, Mr. Baraka. He was very kind and always looked after us. And throughout our tour, we were just so surprised about his professional skills. Even from first day, we saw pretty much many of what we had expected. The lions, leopard, elephants, giraffs and so other many. Baraka constantly looked for animals and guided us to them. Whenever we asked about animals, he was just ready to answer. With his guide, we could see all of the Big 5, including lion, leopard, elephants, buffalo and even rhinos. It just was an amazing experience and those who read this review should just try it.
Additionally, the lunches Baraka prepared for us was much better than my expectation. Also the 3 accommodations were wonderful too. Thanks to Suricata, we were able to experience Boma Lodge, for free upgrade. It surely was the best resort ever in Africa.
Thanks to Suricata, Daniel and Baraka, we really enjoyed safari and surely want to experience one more time.

Amazing experience, Thank you
I did the 4 day safari camping safari from Arusha. Excellent in every way, good value for money but lots of beautiful food and clean drinking water. Edgar the driver guide was very knowledgeable and safe. Tito was a brilliant chief cooking 3 beautiful meals a day. Oh, the wild life was out of this world......

One of the best experiences of my life!
The best tour with the best guide! Everything went perfect and smoothly from the start. It was super easy to book everything with Suricata Safaris, and they were amazing with meeting all our needs. Our flight was canceled and they arranged a new airport pickup for us within minutes.
Rocky, the tour guide, was amazing and the key for a perfect safari experience. His energy and love for the wildlife was super contagious.
I’m vegan and that was not a problem at all, our private chef Salim (that cooked us fresh meals for the 5 days) made amazing meals, every day was something different, which was perfect for tasting a lot of different authentic traditional foods.
Every day was full of surprises! With the forever feeling that “was just the beginning” as Rocky - our guide - used to say every time we saw something exciting.
Tanrangine park kept us really excited at every turn, the day started with a Lion and ended with two cheetah cubs and their mother. In between we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and baboons. And that was really just the beginning with everyday giving us a totally different feeling and landscape with amazing animals. Every day overcame the previous one. Serengeti took my breath away with amazement, and we got to see the rare moment of a lion climbing a rock!
About Ngorongoro, what happens there stays there. That’s one place that everyone should visit at least once.
The camping was really exciting with really nice facilities and wonderful surprises through out the evening.
