Above expectations
I chose this agency simply by searching online and after reading great reviews! I organized the whole safari with them for my family. We did a private tour. I also tell you that the price is unbeatable (I compared 3 agencies and estimates)... in short, the TOP! Do not be afraid to rely on them! Purity from Nairobi kept watch over our trip, she directed everything. She easily found accommodations that suited our budget.
All meals were scheduled! Something tried to go wrong but Henry, our precious tireless driver managed and led us. He was always punctual, patient, discreet, polite. I highly recommend the agency. Thanks to Henry he drove tirelessly to ensure we didn't miss the plane, despite an accident that forced us to travel 140. He went out of his way to let us see all the animals in the low season kilometers more. We did enjoy. We miss you.

Great Safari and Excellent Guide
We took a two-day safari after a Kilimanjaro trek and couldn’t have been more satisfied. The price was competitive and communication and service throughout the booking process was perfect. The lodging and food was incredible. Finally our guide, Jonas, was an excellent driver and a wonderful guide and companion. We saw much more than we imagined at Tarangire and Ngorongoro and Jonas enriched the whole experience with his knowledge of the parks and wildlife. Book with Professional Safari and ask for Jonas!

Perfect experience
Cannot say enough good about the whole safari. The accommodation was top notch at every stop we had. We had the chance to see basically all animals that were listed.
Most of all, all personnel has been incredible. Mr. T and Dani at the start and end of the trip have been very kind.
Special mention goes to Freddy, our guide, who is knowleadgeable on every subject and welcomes every question with his high energy and good mood. He tirelessly drove us to the most exceptional places in order scout any kind of animal.
11/10 would recommend!

Best Profesionals and very detail oriented, exceeded expectations
This safari was the dream of my life, so i was scare about having to much expectations from it. But i was lucky by contacting Suricata safaris, my dream came true even better than expected!
Everything was so well organized from the first minute. Since the moment they picked us up in the airport to the drop off they day we left. The first day Daniel, our host in Arusha proposed us a guided tour in Arusha, visiting the most art gallery and the farmers market. Daniel gave us a great and detailed explanation about the country, the city and the local market. It was great to see the high quality of the products in the farmers market, particularly the vegetables and fruits that women from the surrounded countryside sell every day to locals and also to the safari operators. We had the pleasure to eat all this products cooked by the "best" chef ever James!!!. Even my 2 teenagers girls loved his meals. James was the safari chef during the 5 days, we cooked for us every meal because it was a camping safari, and we certainly loved everything he cooked for us. He even though us a lot of swahili words!
Our guide Lewis, drove us the 5 days of safari showing us everything we could possible see. He is a very knowledgeable, kind and smily guide! We absoluty loved being withe him. He has been a guide for almost 10 years, so he knows every single corner form all thw parks we visited. Furthermore, he knows most of the others safari guides with whom he has a very nice relationship so we were able to spot and take pictures of all the big 5 and many other animals. We got a particularlly good view of a female leopard in a tree and also a climbing tree lioness. We were so lucky that we spoted most of the hervibores with offspring, but also a lionesses pride with 6 cubs!Lewis always tried so hard to get us to the best place to be able to enjoy the animals and take pictures as close as possible without disturbing the other gruops or the animals.
I highly recomend.Suricata to anyone interested in a safari in Tanzania with or without children.

It was an unforgettable experience!!
This was my first time experiencing a game safari, and arranging the tour with Axis was a great choice. I signed up for a 4-day tour, and our driver and guide, Mr Steve, was very kind and made everyone enjoyable. Not only that, we were able to see the Big 5 on the game safari, so he is a very professional guide. I will definitely recommend Axis to my friends when they consider going on a safari. Thank you Steve for a great experience!!

Excellent!
We had an amazing experience with the perfect 4-day, 3-night package safari. The hotel Kwan Maritane was absolutely beautiful, the food and service were excellent, and the weather was fantastic throughout our stay.
We went on two safaris per day and saw so many incredible animals. The only one we missed from the Big Five was the buffalo, but that was because, during the summer, buffaloes are in the northern part of the park, which is not accessible by safari routes, while in the winter, they move to the more central and southern areas of the park (looking for water in the enormous lake), where we stayed during the summer. Hotel was great, services and etc great too!. There were a ping pong table, a basketball hoop, a tennis court, two pools and awesome landscapes. Thanks Ruben!

Excellent organization and very friendly environment. Totally recommended!
We just finished out safari trips with Suricata. We are really happy with the experience. We decided to go with the camping mode and exceeded expectations. Since day one that we did a city tour of Arusha with Daniel all was very well organized and on time. Our guide during the safari, Lewis was very pleasant and he really took us very close to the animals, explaining all details. Thanks a lot Lewis! Suricata organized also meals during the safari. The chef James is an incredible cook. All meals were prepared from scratch, fresh and all days different dishes! So good!
The five day safari gave us a good overview of all animals and the different ecosystems, from savanna to tropical rainforest. Of course we saw the big five and the ugly five (which were very pretty for me) and many more! All was lush green!
The camping was very good! I would not have changed the experience for a lodge.
Life experience that I wish I could repeat!

They pay attention to every detail!
This was an amazing experience. It was my first safari so I did not really know what to expect. We were met at the hotel by Mr T (not the actor) he gave us a breifing and then we loaded up in a large landcruiser with 2 other couples, and then we were off for adventure! Our guide Freddy was so knowledgeable and spoke English
Very well. We saw so many amazing animals on safari and Freddy told us many interesting facts about the animals as we watched them. The four parks we visited varied greatly in terrain and flora. The crater is a must see.
The accommodations were very nice for the price. The first 2 nights at a beautiful resort with friendly hosts. The next 2 nights in luxury tents with equally friendly hosts. There were wild animals sounds at night which I thought was exciting. The food was great all around. We were debreifed in Arusha at the end of the trip by Daniel to make sure we enjoyed the trip and to see what if anything needed changing. I had no complaints. What a trip!!!

Go woth Suricata!
I've been on safaris before and this one blew me away!
We went to so many parks and saw ALL of the African animals. Our guide, Fredy, was so knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we had the best spot for animal viewing. The accommodations were beautiful. Loved the tent glamping and was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the customer service at each spot was outstanding. Can not recommend Suricata Safaris enough...10 stars!
