Excellent experience throughout
The tour was organized well, accomodations were comfortable, clean and safe. Suricata lodge was amazing and one of the best accomodations i have been into. Food was all good throughout. The guide/driver Melita was Excellent.
Adam is one incredible tour guide. Highly recommended.
The 5 day safari was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our driver and guide, Melita, was excellent, with a very good sense of humour and most importantly very knowledgeable not only about the places we visited but also about all the wildlife we encountered.
The accommodations exceeded my expectations, offering a great mix of comfort and atmosphere. The meals were also a highlight, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners were consistently delicious, fresh, and varied.
My favorite moment was staying at the Serengeti Tanzania Bush Camp Simba in the heart of the Serengeti. Falling asleep surrounded by the sounds of nature and waking up to see the sunrise on the plains was an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Suricata to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

Perfect Safari
This tour was absolutely amazing. Saw so many animals and learned so much. Elias my driver was amazing, very informative and kind. The 5 days went very smoothly the food was absolutely amazing, our chef was incredible. We had fresh meals everyday with tons of options. The camping was very comfortable with sleeping bags provided and clean tents . I felt very safe and comfortable as a female solo traveler. I would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone heading to Tanzania for Safari!!

Incredible
The best experience of our lives
From the moment we booked with Suricata, we felt reassured and confident through the efficient and clear communication we received. On arrival, we were met with an onboarding briefing to give us a detailed overview of our trip, showing the professionalism of the company.
Our safari experience itself was the best experience we have ever had. Everything Suricata provided from accommodation, vehicle, and daily meals were 5 star standard. The highlight of the experience had to be our wonderful guide Lewis (Rasta) who was so generous with his knowledge and insights on the animals and Masai Culture. He truly made our experience so much deeper. At the end of the safari we had a debrief on the experience with a team member from Suricata, showing their dedication to giving guests the best possible experience. Could not recommend the company more highly.

Exceptional
Had once in a lifetime experience, seeing the African culture, animals and landscape. Our guide Damien was AMAZING, he made sure we saw the big five and everything else we wanted to see. He made sure the car was clean and ready each day. His knowledge and experience made the experience unique and exceptional. The accomodation we stayed at each night were beautiful, clean and so hospitable. It was beyond what we expected and the overall service was exceptional.

Ok
The camping safari is pure adventure.
However, there were a few things that didn't go perfectly.
We were reliably picked up from the airport by taxi. The taxi driver told us the safari started at 7:00 a.m. At the hotel, we were told the safari started at 8:00 a.m. The actual start time was 8:30 a.m., but we were misinformed. The safari itinerary was also changed (Lake Manyara on Friday instead of Tuesday), which isn't a problem in principle. However, this needs to be communicated. According to the description, the game drives last about 6-7 hours. In reality, however, they lasted a maximum of 4-5 hours, as we didn't start at the agreed time on a single day.
Some of the campsites were very run down, often with only cold water, and only one of the three showers working.

Jeremy is very kind
We had an incredible 4-day safari – such a magical experience! Suricata Safari was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide, Jeremy, drove us through the different parks every day and was really great with us. The only thing I might have wished for is a bit more information about the animals during the drives, but overall everything was excellent.
We also had a chef with us, so the food was amazing from morning to evening – even at lunchtime we had everything we needed. We chose the camping option and absolutely loved it. It was very immersive, and even the strange noises we heard at night made the experience even more fun.
This was a truly unforgettable adventure, and we are so grateful to Suricata Safari for making it happen!

beyond my expectations
A magnificent experience from A-Z. The hotels and camps are beautiful, clean and really well equipped, they are worthy of 5 stars. The food is very good with a great diversity. What I also appreciated is the prices of the drinks in the hotels are very reasonable. The staff is kind, smiling and so gracious. A big favorite for our driver/guide Chaze who accompanied us during the 6 days. He made us live

Suricata offered us an excellent tour and amazing experience with o my some organizational issues
On our 3 day tour through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater we got to see so much of the wildlife mostly thanks to our amazing tourguide Melita. His experience and knowledge about the Nationalparks helped us see all the different species, including the big 5! He was an amazing guide and made the experience very special.
The campsites were very clean, equipped with the necessary amenities and very well located. We had amazing sunsets, sunrises and Zebras in the camps. The food included was always delicious and big portions so that everybody had enough.
The safari tour experience and our guide deserve 5 stars without a doubt!
Unfortunately we can only give 4 stars for the overall experience because of some organizational issues in the beginning. We were told to be picked up at the airport and after waiting for one hour with nobody responding to our messages or calls we had to find ourselves a taxi. Also the included accommodation was not very clearly communicated so we double booked. After a long exchange we were compensated to make up for the caused trouble, which we appreciated after the frustrating arrival.
Either way we would recommend the tour to anybody considering it.

The best.
The safari was unforgettable. Everything worked perfectly, and the safari was extremely well organized. We were able to see all the animals of the Big Five and felt incredibly happy and overwhelmed. Our guide, Melita, put a tremendous amount of effort into everything and always considered the needs of all participants. He was not only very friendly but also always cheerful and knew every location. He did everything possible to make our time truly unforgettable.
A special praise also goes to the chef, "Chef," and his team, who cooked fresh and incredibly delicious meals for us every day. We are completely satisfied. The service was a solid 10/10.
