Greatest adventure with great company
5/5

The greatest tour I have ever been on (7 day in Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Suricata made every step of the way worry free and hassle free. Their vehicle was great (comfortable and capable with no issues), great lodging choices (the angata serengeti is my new favorite stay anywhere), good food (we actually had hot meals for lunch everyday). Our guide (Ezekiel) was super friendly/cool, knew the areas like the back of his hand, is very in tune and knowledge with the animals behaviors/tendencies leading to great wildlife viewing & a very capable driver (not getting stuck like others we saw when conditions worsened due to rain).

Also props for being a Tanzania owned company, there are a lot of foreign owned operators. Support local.

I would take the same tour again in the future... No doubt!

7 Day Safari
5/5

We went on the 7 day safari and it was amazing! Ezekiel was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and a great driver. We chose the mid grade accommodations and all of the accommodations were perfect. All the food was very good. I highly recommend Suricata for your safari and would definitely come back!

Amazing experience
5/5

We spent 4 wonderful days with Suricata and our guide Rocky! Everything was well organized, we had a chef cook with us throughout the stay to have a good meal. Our guide made sure to show us all the animals possible and we had a great group that we had a great time with.
Camping was fine, overnight in the heart of the Serengeti WOW. too bad for the rain showers that we had 2 nights in a row but we can't predict the weather, that's the game :)

Full of beautiful memories
thanks to the whole team

Great experience with flexible arrangements
5/5

We did a lot of research into different companies before booking and Suricata Safaris was better value for money than other safaris. Fast response to booking and follow up questions. It helps that everything from the airport transfers to all accommodation is booked for you so you don’t need to worry about anything except getting there and enjoying the experience.

The service was great, from beginning to end. Tito is such a great Chef and Silas had a keen eye for spotting the animals. We saw all the big five plus much more. They genuinely wanted us to have a really good experience and made us feel very welcome. The Suricata team all seemed very happy and loved working for the company which made you feel you picked the right one!

We are a couple but we chose a mixed tour with a group but upgraded the accommodation from camping to lodges. Our group experience was so much fun! There were 4 of us in total. And we separated at night between camping (x2 ppl) and lodges (us) which worked out fine and wasn’t an inconvenience at all.

Because the camping group was doing less days than us we also had 2 days alone with just the guide. This would usually cost more but as we booked a group tour it didn’t. Which is fair. This will depend on how busy the season to how many people you are (max 6). Also this gave us benefit of having lunches prepared by the Suricata chef Tito instead of the hotel lunch boxes.

For the accommodation we had a mix between hotels and lodges. All were good - some better than others, but when you are staying in a different place each night that is expected. The park lodges are right in the wilderness so you hear the animals at night and can have visitors around the tent! This is part of the magic of the places and is an amazing experience. You feel safe enough in your lodge and don't need to be concerned with not sleeping.

All in all we had a wonderful time and can totally recommend Suricata!

Superb Organisation
5/5

Excellent experience! The main guide was amazing and was always on the look out for wildlife - frequently spotting animals we would never have seen. The food was also superb given we were camping. The team was very helpful in organisation and transfers. Would definitely recommend as was very reasonably priced compared with other tours. Only comment would be nice if the guide would sit with us to eat!

Unforgettable Experience!
5/5

My photo safari with Suricata was absolutely phenomenal! All my expectations were exceeded. I chose a budget level/camping package and I was completely comfortable. Musa was our chef and everything he prepared was delicious and plentiful! Fredy was our most excellent, extremely knowledgeable guide for 3 days; I learned so much, I had to start taking notes! Swaleh gave a lovely walking tour of Arusha. Hilary, the owner was very easy to communicate with via email, while planning my trip, and finally Mr T was a great driver and ambassador for Suricata. Overall a fabulous operation that I highly recommend!

5/5

It was a great experience with Suricata! Our driver-guide is Frederick. He brought us to several national parks and we saw so many animals! We were lucky enough to witness elephants, lions and cheetahs. I would definitely return to Tanzania again! Thank you Suricata and Frederick!

Materuni waterfall. Wonderful expertise
5/5

Highly recommend this day tour to see the Materuni waterfall. The waterfall is really beautiful. The hike to and from the waterfall felt really good after four days of safari with Suricata (also amazing). I wasn’t sure what to expect from a “coffee experience” but it ended up being really entertaining, and the coffee was delicious. Lunch was the best meal I’ve had on this trip. I especially loved the banana soup! Singing and dancing with the Chaga people was my favourite experience in Tanzania. Kudos to my excellent guides, Mr T ( day trip) and Frederick (safari)
