Machame route Kilimanjaro - 6 days
We had a truly amazing 6-day hike on the Kilimanjaro (Machame route) with Suricata safaris! Everything was so well organized and our group of 3 people was surounded by a pleasant crew! During the hikes we were accompanied by 2 really nice guides Freddy an Alex: they know a lot about the mountain and shared their experience and stories which was always lovely to hear! They made sure the hikes were on a good pace for the group: pole pole is one of the key things to remember! In addition, they inform you well about everything you need and what the plan is for the next day, to be sure you are prepared! I enjoyed how they would motivate and support us. But more so, during the summit night where the hight caused me some problems, they got me through the difficult moments to reach the top and go back to the camp afterwards! I am grateful for your help! They want everyone to succeed while also taking into account your health and safety!
Also thank you to John who served us food an drinks and woke us up every morning with a big smile and a cup of coffee! He made sure all your needs are met and was always stand by to help you out if needed.
Furthermore, we had a great cook Gasto creating delicious meals for breakfast lunch and diner, which were also very varied! Our group consisted of 3 people and some of us had allergies or intolerances and they took great care of that too which we really appreciated!
Overall, the whole team was very friendly and they do an amazing job: it is impressive how they carry all the luggage, food, water, tents and other logistics. They literally take good care of everything. Really hard workers who are so grateful for the opportunities they get! Sometimes we could hangout in their tent and share stories, which I really loved because this way we could get to know the people better who made this trip such a lifetime experience! In short, I would recommend it to everyone!
Thank you, asante sana, Suricate safaris for the beautiful memories. Hakuna matata!
Big hugs, Bo

We got more than we expected
We were absolutely delighted with Suricata!
The communication in advance ran smoothly via WhatsApp. All questions and requests were always considered.
The safari itself was well organized. We slept in the tent for 4 nights. There were foam mattresses, a pillow and warm sleeping bags. The campsites were fantastic! Zebras roaming around the tents at night and a great view over Ngorongoro Crater. The food was sufficient, varied and very tasty. We felt very comfortable and safe with our guide Lewis. He explained a lot to us and always tried to take us to the best places. We've seen the Big Five! We can only recommend Suricata Safari. Thank you for this unforgettable adventure

Unforgettable experience
Very good tour company! We chose a five-day trip to four national parks, each with a different charm, while we saw a lot of animals with an experienced safari guide, and it’s very lucky that we saw cheetahs hunting, lion hunting. The food and accommodation was also very good. An unforgettable experience!

A trip of a lifetime
We had a great 5 day tour with Surigata. The booking was made via email and everything was organized in a timely manner. Also, Hillary, the manager, was always fast with answering our questions. The tour included the airport transfers, all meals during the safari and a double room in nicely selected hotels or lodges. The highlight of the tour (besides the parks and all the animals) was our guide Mandela! He knew always where to go and was able to explain a lot about the habits of the different animals.
All in all, it was a fantastic trip that we will remember for a long time!

Amazing safari experience in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I had an amazing safari experience with Suricata travels. They offered among the best prices we found, and they were really helpful with everything - they answered all our questions, helped us when we arrived in Arusha and offered us lodging.
During the safari we had "Rocky" as a guide and "Musse" as a chef (I don't quite know how to spell their names) , and they did an excellent job! Rocky made sure we were having a good time, and took us around Serengeti and Ngorongoro and to the camps. He was always ready to give us interesting information about the different animlas of the parks. We ended up seeing plenty of lions, giraffes, cheetas, leopards, elephants, flamingos, hippos and many many more animals!
Musse cooked great food, and most dishes somehow tasted familiar, even though I had them for the first time, so he certainly knows how to cook for people from all over the world!
I can recommend Suricata Travels to anyone looking for a safari experience. They will make sure to give you an experience you won't forget!

Amazing experience in Kilimanjaro region
We've done a full day activity with the guide Mr T and I can just say we had a perfect day. We started with a walk from the Materuni village to the waterfall, a beautiful trail surrounded by bananas tree and coffee farms. Then we went back to the village where we saw how the locals produce coffee and we could try ourselves, and in the end we would drink the fresh coffee they just toasted and roasted. They also cooked an amazing lunch using the local ingredients and it was so tasty! We finished the day in the Hot springs, a beautiful place to have a swim and refresh after a long day. Mr T was very helpful all the time, he is very nice, calm and know a lot about the region. I highly recommend the activity and him as a guide.

Great local coffee tour and waterfall walk!
We had a great day with Mr T as our guide, he took us to a small coffee farm where we could prepare a cup of coffee from scratch (starting with the coffee berry). Very unique and local experience! We also hiked to the waterfall which was gorgeous. The walk was relatively short but really beautiful, you’re in the middle of the forest.
We finished the day at the hot springs which was a prefect way to relax and finish the day! The hot springs were an added extra.

Ezekiel was an expert guide in every way and an encyclopedia on every animal fact we asked him.
Suricata Safaris is the best safari experience one could hope for. The food was great and showcased local specialties, with a nice 3 square meals a day and multiple 1.5L water bottles provided daily. Over the 5 days I spent with our expert guide Ezekiel, I saw every animal I could’ve imagined, regardless of how rare I imagined some sightings could be. He got us very close to elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, etc. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, even the tents have full functioning electricity, bathrooms and nice beds inside. Ezekiel had answers to every animal question we asked and taught me some Swahili along the way! The communications were super friendly and clear with both the general email prior to the trip, and during the trip, and also they welcome any questions even after you’ve parted ways with your guide for anything about the lay of the land in Tanzania.
10/10 will recommend to everyone I know, and will contact them when I plan another safari trip.
