Great tour, great guide, fantastic chef (highly recommend)
Went on a group tour with Suricata Safaris. Mr. Lewis was our great guide and chaffeur - and together with Mr. Jerimiah (our chef) they made our experience amazing!

A very special experience in an all-round carefree package!
Our safari lasted 5 days and took us through four beautiful and totally diverse national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
We started at the end of October/beginning of November and were very lucky with the timing and weather. The main season was over, so the number of jeeps was manageable, and the rainy season had not yet started. A little bonus: many of the animals we saw had their young with them.
In addition to the breathtaking nature and the impressive wildlife, it was above all the smooth organization and the hard-working team that made us feel completely at ease.
Our guide Elias, who always made sure that we were able to see numerous animals and definitely the Big Five, and in whose car we always felt safe despite the odd flat tire.
Our cook Pius, who provided us with delicious, freshly prepared meals three times a day, baked fresh bread in the morning and brought us cool cola for lunch.
Daniel, who came to visit us at our hostel the evening before and after the safari to answer any questions we had. And the helpful helpers who made sure that the tents were already up when we arrived at the campsites.
We really wanted for nothing, a big thank you to the Suricata Safaris team! :)

10/10 safari experience
Everything was well organized. The company adhered to all schedules and provided excellent communication regarding when and where we were to meet. Upon arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport, a representative from the company met us and drove us to our first accommodation. There, Daniel introduced us to the program, and it was wonderful to have a conversation and get a detailed overview of everything. The following day, Freddy, our guide, picked us up. He was very friendly and turned out to be an excellent guide. He had in-depth knowledge of all the animals and was attentive to everyone’s needs, ensuring we had the opportunity to see as many animals as possible. He seemed highly experienced, which was very reassuring. All of our accommodations were fantastic. The first night was a luxury stay with a pool, while the next two nights were spent in glamping tents in the middle of the savannah, which was truly magical. We saw a wide variety of animals, including the Big 5! Thank you for an amazing safari experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Top!
We did the 3 days 2 nights safari with Suricata safari and everything was organized from the airport pick up to the airport drop off. Our guide was very kind and patient every time we saw animals for photos. The food was delicious and sleeping in tents in the middle of nowhere with the animals was an unforgettable and awesome experience. We saw a lot of animals it was really incredible and magical! To be expected in addition to the price to pay cash for tips for the guide and the chef at the end of the trip.

Great Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris
I recently went on a group camping safari, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was incredible.
The safari itself was breathtaking – we saw so many animals up close, and the guide Elias was knowledgeable and friendly, always eager to answer questions and share fascinating details about the wildlife. The camping setup was comfortable.
The highlight for me was the food. I wasn’t expecting much on a camping trip, but the meals exceeded all expectations – fresh, flavorful, and so delicious - thanks to the cook Samson. It truly added to the experience and made the trip even more enjoyable.
If you’re considering a safari, I can’t recommend this group enough. It was a perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and great company. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

5/5 Safari Tour
Everything was under control. The company respected all times and they were good at informing about when and where we should meet. We arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, where someone from the company picked us up. He drove us to our first night's place. Here came Daniel, who introduced us to the whole thing, and it was great to have a chat about it all. The next day, Freddy, our guide, picked us up. He was really nice and turned out to be a really good guide. He knew everything about all the animals and he was good at accommodating everyone's needs so we could see as many animals as possible. He seemed very experienced and that was really nice. All of our accommodations were fantastic. The first night was luxury with a pool, the other two days we lived in glamping tents in the middle of the savannah, and it was magical. We also saw many animals including the Big 5! After the safari, we were driven home to the hotel, where we were given a beer by Daniel, who we also chatted with. Thanks for a great safari! Can definitely recommend this to everyone.

good stories to tell, all day all night
Suricata Safari was an absolutely perfect match for our trip. We had the opportunity to see everything we wanted and beyond. Damien was an incredible guide to us, knowing where the animals could be and actually giving us the chance to see the big 5, although it’s always a matter of luck. Besides that, he brought an endless positive energy to the group, singing with us in the way, and always adapting to what we wanted. The food provided by James gave us different flavors every day, and he would be kind enough to fit our needs and our taste. Always better to see the sights with a happy stomach. Also the tents were very clean, neat and prepared as soon as we got to a camp. We decided to go with Suricata Safari because of a recommendation from a friend and I do thank her a lot for that!

Great Camping Safari
We are a group of five Portuguese travelers who went on a 5-day safari with "Suricata." Overall, we are very satisfied with the experience. We spent one day in Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti, one day in Ngorongoro, including the crater, and one day in Lake Manyara.
We chose to stay in tents, and we believe this was a fantastic option as it allowed us to have a more immersive safari experience. We were very satisfied with the organization of Suricata, which met our expectations.
In terms of animal sightings, the safari was spectacular. We were able to see the Big Five and many other animals, such as hyenas, hippos, wildebeest migrations, giraffes, and more. We even witnessed several hunting scenes and lion prides feeding.
Our guide, Damien, kept the atmosphere lively and engaging throughout the trip. Communication with him in English was very easy. He was always flexible and willing to adapt the daily plans to our preferences. When it came to finding animals and facilitating sightings, he was excellent. However, we feel he could have been more proactive and detailed in sharing information about the animals (biology, habits, and theoretical explanations). This is perhaps the only area that could have been improved.
Food was good and tents were nice.
On top of everything, the price they offer for the service provided seems very competitive compared to what we found elsewhere.
They asked as to do a review in the end of everything, and here it is!
Thank you guys, the review is sincere, we really loved it!

Great Safari and Camping
We had 5 wonderful days, Damien is a very friendly and funny guide. James was the cook and the food was great, we had a fresh meal everytime during safari. Camping in Serengueti was a very unique experience, thanks to Maleo who made sure our tents and conditions were good! totally recommend, good value for money. The only thing to improve would be more information about the animals during the tours.
