Magical!
The Suricata safaris provide us with airport transfer, a hotel before and after safari and amazing safari experience!
Everything was included in the price we payed for 3 day safari exeperience!
First i would like to say that we had amazing driver Floridi, who show us everything we can see in safari…some action, leopards, cheetah etc. Of course i cannot forgot our amazing chef Chazz!! He provide us with amazing food!! We really have a 5* hotel buffet menu!!
I didin't slept in a tent for 15 years…but now after the safari i dont regret it. Going to the toilet in the middle of the night and saying HI to the zebras,buffalos who are hanging around the tents. It was a really magical moment. Well, you can hear as well some hyenas,lions but your are safe, beacuse rangers are hanging around.
In general the Suricata safari experience was amazing ,10/10. For this money, is the best value in Arusha!! I recommend them to everybody who wants to have fun, enyoing in good food and having beauftiul views of the animals and landscape!
Good job Suricata!!!

Great experience with Suricata!
We had an amazing time with Suricata! We did the budget camping safari and everything was wonderful (also felt like it was a really good value). The food was great and made fresh (thanks Chaz!) and Floridi was a fantastic guide. Camping in the Serengeti and on the Crater was unforgettable. The team took care of everything throughout the whole trip from setting up tents to driving to preparing hot meals. The guys at Suricata are really dedicated to making the experience one of a kind and it shows. Lucky us, we had the pleasure of meeting all the owners of the company and many of the employees, and you could tell they're committed to supporting their community and employees.

The best
5 day safari, the best guide, the best cooker. Always got cooked meals, real meals. Lewis was really informative and Salim was the real cooker. Real 5 star service. Pick up and drop off as the nights in Arusha part of the safari package.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
Review
Suricata Safari is what you are looking for!
Everything was just PERFECT and I recommend 300%!
From the pick up at the airport until the very last minute with them.
We did 5 days safari and we could not recommend them more, they were super flexible and adapt the safari to our times and needs.
Super nice people who know Arusha area perfectly. They care for you and your comfort the whole trip. They explain absolutely everything to you and they answer all your questions!
Special thanks to our amazing guide Mandela, who showed us everything with the biggest smile and our cooker, Action, who cooked us the most delicious meals everyday! You guys rock, thank you so much for everything. Asante Sana!

Three unforgettable and amazing days with Frederic
We went for a safari of 3 days and had the chance to be with Frederic, the best guide ever, and Salim, a succulent cooker. I can’t say anything wrong about our trip, except that it has an end. Frederic has so much knowledges, and always tries to make you live an amazing experience. What an incredible person. The organization of all the safari was perfect and I will recommend it with no hesitation! Thank you again to everyone that took part of our trip. My dream came true, and I will never forget it. Lena

Overwhelming safari experience
Our safari exceeded all of our expectations.
Because we were in Moshi beforehand, the organizer, Hilary, arranged for us to be picked up there. When we arrived in Moshi, we were already expected by him. He explained everything about the safari to us, gave us a lot of helpful tips and also explained to us what else we could do in Arusha. The next morning we were picked up punctually by our guide, Florida. Florid, who was born in one of the national parks, really knew everything about the animals, the landscape, etc. We felt we were in very good hands. Our first stop was in Tarangire National Park - the landscape was breathtaking and of course the wildlife too. In the evening the food exceeded all our expectations. The next day we drove to the Serengeti. Florid managed to see elephants, giraffes and zebras in addition to leopards, lions and cheetahs. The atmosphere was just lovely! In the evening we all ate together again and exchanged ideas. The last stop was in the Ngorogoro Crater, there we saw hippos, lions up close, hyenas and many other animals. Florid had an answer to every question.
When we got back to Arusha, Hilary was waiting. He invited us to dinner and listened to all of our experiences. He was very interested in finding out how we experienced the safari.
We would book with Suricata Safaris again at any time and are still in contact with the guide. Very clear recommendation :-)

Super experience
It has been an amazing experience. Very good organization and service. They picked us up from another hotel in Arusha and we stayed at their Hotel the first and last night. Simple but good service. The Guia Laizr very friendly and attentive. Benjamin the cook, cooks vice and is very cheerful and funny.
We saw a lot of animals and they were always looking for the best photos.
We will repeat

Amazing safari!
Everything about this safari was excellent! I saw so many cool animals: lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, elephants, zebras, hyenas, giraffes etc The guide was wonderful at spotting them. The food was also absolutely delicious throughout the trip: they have a cook who comes with us to prepare all our meals.
The logistics were also seamless: you can book for the safari to start on any day, they get you at the airport… It was all so well organized.
Highly recommend this safari.

Professional yet adventurous, expansive yet value for money and organized yet in touch with nature.
We've just had one of our best adventures thanks to Suricata Safaris. Indeed we saw more animals than we thought possible. Suricata took us deep into the wilderness and we were one with the nature and yet all the time, we felt safe. We saw a pride of Lions up close, a family of Cheetahs even closer and a whole herd of Elephants within touching distance and yet it all was natural and without disturbing their space or their lives. Of course, we saw more: including Giraffes, Zebras, Leopards, Hippos, Wildebeast and many more.
They were very helpful from the get go with clear, transparent communication about the itinnery, costs and what was required. We were picked up from the airport, taken to a modern hotel and informed of the next steps with the minimum of fuss. Everything was truly "Hakuna Matata"!
We went in a group and the human interactions made it even better. The staff were helpful and involved with every step; willing to cater to requests and always provided information. Onesmo, our driver and guide is experienced and knew the ins and outs of all the animals - what they do and how they live, even if some of the facts were surprising (did you know that elephants bury their dead and hold a wake over a week?). Salim, our chef cooked to perfection everyday: breakfast, lunch and dinner, over an open fire, with a variety of tastes. He even made an extra special Tanzanian dish purely on a whim. All in all, our expectations were blown out of the water and we fully enjoyed our whole experience.
