An incredible experience
I had a fantastic time with a small group of friendly people and our incredible guide Rocky on the four day tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife we were seeing, and able to share many interesting facts and answer all of our questions, while remaining friendly and upbeat at all times. Amazingly, we saw all of the Big Five along with many other animals, including getting quite close to a lioness and her very young cubs at one point. This trip was very well organised, including pickup and drop off at my hotel in Arusha, camping gear provided, and excellent hot meals cooked fresh by the amazing Pius every day. I can’t recommend Suricata tours highly enough.

Unbelievable experience
Me and my wife booked a 4 days camping safari and had an unbelievable experience.
Our guide Rocky was a very capable and entertaining guide during the trip. We have been in very good and safe hands.
All camp sides and Facilities we have visited have been clean and great.
Our kitchen chef Pius provided us daily at breakfast, lunch and dinner with fantastic food.
Thanks for that trip we will never ever forget.
We come back.

It's just perfect
The nature was definitely fascinating. We saw a lot of animals we wanted to see. But I really want to emphasize that choosing Suricata was the best idea we had. Our guide Rocky is an expert. He explained a lot about history, Swahili language and cultures and answered all our questions so professionally. Of course he has also a sense of humor. Additionally, we had really good food. We had actually no expectations for camping and the food we will get. But our chef Pius was always with us and provided us really fresh warm food three times a day. I've seen many tourists from the other safari companies. While they are having a lunch box, we always had much better fresh-cooked food every time. I would definitely recommend Suricata!

The most amazing safari experience with Suricata Safaris
An experience I will never forget! Me and my husband booked a 5 day safari trip and it was simply amazing. Our driver Elias was sooo goood! He was so patient and he always made sure we took plenty of bathroom breaks, so we were comfortable the hole time. He had answers for all of our questions. He also knew all the best places to spot the animals. We were lucky enough to see all the big 5 in our trip. We also saw, what I would call a once in a lifetime experience, 5 lions hunting a buffalo. Elias was so passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with us. We were so lucky to have him as our driver and guide. He was so kind, and funny! The accommodation was also very good. We stayed 2 nights at Suricata Boma Lodge and 2 nights in tented lodges, one in Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. There is a bathroom with a shower in every tent, with hot water. Everything was perfect. Very clean! The people were so welcoming and friendly and the food was great. They also take care of airport transfers from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, and they offer accommodation for the night before and after the trip. We didn’t have to worry about anything. If you are looking for a sign to book this trip, this is it! I really recommend Suricata Safari! We had the time of your lives!

Excellent 10 points
We arrived in Arusha on the 9th, we had three recommendations and we decided on Suricata.
The prices were similar, the experience was exactly as they explained it would be.
We started the safari on the 11th and returned on the 15th, we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro (inside the Crater) and finally Laguna Manyara.
We slept twice at the Suricata Boma Lodge, SPECTACULAR, in front of the lagoon.
The other nights we slept in very particular and organized camps, guarded by the Masai.
The comfort in those giant tents was incredible.
We had a super friendly guide, DAMIÁN, I think that also makes the difference since it is 5 days of great coexistence, we were also lucky with the other 4 members of the group, very fun people.
We were able to see the big 5 and more.
Personally, I think it's more fun to do it in a group than privately, that's the impression I got.
I must also highlight the great weather we had, I think we went at a good time.
Suricata also recommended a city tour in Arusha on Sunday when we had nothing to do, and it was also a great experience with DANIEL, the guide, very friendly, he knew all the history of the place and took us to interesting places and then we went to dinner, the next day we started the safari.
Beautiful experience

Absolutely phenomenal
Our safari with suricata was truly one of the most extraordinary trip we’ve ever had. It was such a special experience. We were very sad when it was over and are definitely coming back to Tanzania and book a safari again with Suricata!
The safari itself was perfectly organized by suricata. We were delayed by a day due to a cancelled flight and they rescheduled the safari within a few hours. Their customer service is very good.
Our guide, Mandela, was absolutely phenomenal. His passion and knowledge made every game drive special. He had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals and nature.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more incredible experience. It’s a life-changing adventure that we will cherish forever.

Ezekiel was an amazing Safari guide who went above and beyond for us. The Safari was a life changing experience for us as we witnessed raw nature for 7 days. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Attentively profesional tour guide
The whole expiriance was magical.
The Surigata Safari have done an amazing job first assisting in the whole booking expiriance, then taking care of everything possible to make the whole expiriance amazing - Thank you Mr. T. :)
From the main Trip crew: both Elijas as our amazing Driver / Tourguide and Tito our main Chef for the whole trip both made the whole expiriance the best it could be.
They both shared their great talents with us showcasing their skills in these beautiful Tanzania National Parks we managed to visit three day trip.
We loved the "african massage" which basically is a drive on these rough roads but Toyota Land Crouiser just made it happend so effortlessly. My spine pain is gone too:)
I have not seen so many Toyotas anywhere else haha for a very good reason ;)
We have great companion as well lovely people who we meet were just perfect as we All expiriance everything for the first time together to see this unbelievable nature beauty of a country... Tanzania :)
Both parks: Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks were such a treat we both with my partner could not wish to spend time better anywhere else. Tanzania is such an amazing country, and as we said in two beautiful Lodges we were staying over night we will be back and hopefully sooner then later.
We stayed over night in two amazing Lodges as a part of mid range package which we felt it was just perfect. No need for less, but no need for more either and to expiriance such a Lodge luxury in the middle of a Serengeti was such a treat I just dream to be able to get back sooner then I think it would be possible.
We thank you Tanzania! We thank Mr T. for all your help in booking and assisting, we thank you Suricata Safaris!
We see you again for sure! It only question is how soon ;) Thank you.
