The best tour operator to ever exist
Ecky, (the tour guide) was better than i could ever asked for, he would light up the truck with his smile and amazing stories. Suricata Safaris have been overall an excellent experience, the food was AMAZING, the staff so so nice and welcoming and the safari itself out of this world.
I also choose to sleep in a tent which was an amazing experience, to hear all the animal noises, the lions roaring was surreal. Even seeing the hyenans outside of the camp was so cool.
Ecky showed us so many great animals, and was so knowledgeable about them. I saw a tinga I never even imagined, like lion cubs, cheetah babies and being one step away from an eating lioness.
I can’t recommend having him as your guide and Suricata safaris enough, it was my first safari ever and I can’t be more pleased. 5 Stars!

Thank you Ecky & Jordan !
The four-day safari drive was the best. Route selection and guide talks by experienced staff make a safari in Tanzania more special.
There was no problem with the safari car. I didn't realize that some accommodations were different from the original schedule. As a result, I think it's worth the price.
The response of the sales representative at the stage of considering the plan was also excellent.

Mt Meru trek amazing, but team could be more friendly
The trek up Mount Meru offered stunning scenery and was definitely an unforgettable experience. The hike is challenging, however, especially the third day, which is quite physically demanding. The food was delicious, and overall, we were glad we took this tour.
Unfortunately, there are also a few points we view critically. Communication with the company wasn’t always easy, and important information wasn’t adequately conveyed in advance. For example, we weren’t informed that on the three-day trek, the final 1,000 meters of elevation gain could also be covered by taxi. Had we known that, we probably would have opted for the three-day tour instead of the four-day one.
Furthermore, we were assured that this was a private tour. In the end, however, we were on the trail with two other couples from two different trekking operators, led by a ranger.
The issue of tipping was also not communicated transparently, in our view. It wasn’t until the start of the tour that the guide himself pointed out to us that a 20% tip was expected. In our opinion, such an expectation should have been clearly addressed at the time of booking.
The food was good, but we didn’t find popcorn to be a particularly appropriate snack before the strenuous six-hour ascent at midnight, followed by a roughly three-hour descent.
Overall, we would have liked to see a little more hospitality, attentiveness, and warmth from the guide and the rest of the team.

Good Safari, it went a bit Quick and chaotisch at times.
Lovely people, we have seen everything we wanted however sometimes it felt a bit hurried and chaotic. The chef was really nice and all the parks were beautiful. They will tell you more if you ask them questions. Also keep in mind that the tips are sort of mandatory.

Great experience!
10/10, would definitely recommend! We had Anto as our guide, who was great. Very knowledgeable when we asked questions and made sure we saw all the animals! Had an amazing time and would definitely do it again!
