Excellent safari experience
We had a wonderful 5 days of safari with our amazing guide Vincent. He's been very flexible and well prepared with wide knowlesge of all national parks and animals. We would recommend this company to everyone and would choose Surikata Safari again. Reliable 4x4 Landcruiser and excellent guide. Also had luxorious feeling in all our lodges on the way.
Hakuna matata and "Kikatiti"!

The best of Tanzania Safari
Save yourself from searching for a better company and book with Suricatas, they are number one for a reason. Firstly they are easy to communicate with on whatsup, so ask as many question as you like. If you have any doubts always ask until confident. We book for a 5 days budget safari. Though it was a budget safari it was easy and comfortable from pick up until departure, that is a day before and after the tour . The tour itself was stress free and chill as our guide Mandela put it that way. He loves his job and is very knowledgeable. He let us enjoy whatever nature show us along the way, no rush or worries about not seeing this and that. The road was rough but not surprisingly annoying. Strangly we even fell asleep on those bumpy rides. We slept in tents at night but did have toilets and showers every night even in the middle of nowhere. Also Ben, our chef was the best. He cooked all sort of very tasty food in the wilderness, pizza, lasagna, veggies and all sort of meat etc. We don’t know how he does it but we enjoyed all them and we were always full as it’s a lot and lot of food. Any request can be accomodated so feel free to ask.
We hope to come back again in the future.

Excellent Tour with Local Company
Amazing safari experience. Pickup to dropoff well organized. We did a budget trip and the hotel/camping was spartan but clean. Saw all of the big 5 animals during our trip to Tarangire, the Serengeti, ngongoro crater, and lake manyara. Had a vehicle breakdown (axle break) in the Serengeti but the vehicle was repaired same day and we were ready to go the next morning. During that time we relaxed at camp. You’ll also have some cultural experiences during this trip which enhanced the experience. Also, the company is locally owned and run which isn’t the case for a lot of the bigger companies so you’re supporting local with them. Great food, but lots of beef so be prepared!

Locally run company that you shouldn’t hesitate to book with!
This was a great experience for the value we paid. We did a 7 day safari and were taken through 4 different parks across Tanzania. Our guide, James, was extremely knowledgeable and could answer any question we had about Tanzania culture or wildlife. The camp sites were comfortable. Each had a washroom facility and a closed area for eating meals (typically lit). The food was prepared fresh and was always delicious. This is a great, locally run company. Don’t hesitate to book with them!

Perfectly organized - best Guide! :)
Had a super well organized 6 days private safari. The lodges has been really good as well as the food (happy we also had hot lunch, not lunch packages).
Sleeping in tented lodges was an amazing experience!
Freddy (Frederic) was the best Guide! He knows so much about animals and we have seen so much of them (also the big 5)!

Fantastic experience
Experience with them has been fantastic! In 4 days of Safari we have seen many animals (including the Big five) and we have enjoyed a lot. Great food from Salim's hand. The rest in the tents is great, they provide you with everything you need (a warm jacket, a pillow and a good mat). I would hire the Safari with them again without hesitation, they are very attentive and care about doing their job well. Thank you!!!

They are Vert professional and friendly
Highly recommended, the safari with Meerkat has been very good. We have enjoyed both the safari seeing animals and the rest afterward in the shops and the food (exquisite).
Very calm seeing how well they work.

The best
It was an unforgettable experience. The guide guided us through all the wonderful places, we saw many animals, including the most coveted: "big five".
Every detail, every curiosity, uncertainty or need was met by the guide! The chef was very careful with us, me being a vegan!!!! He cooked deliciously.
I recommend!!!!!

Fantastic first safari
We had a fantastic first safari experience with Suricata. There are a lot of different safari companies and we booked with them as they had great reviews, a reasonable price, and also they provided accommodation on either side of the 5 day safari so it was a FULL 5 days and we could make the most most of our time. We were looking for “mid-range” lodging (e.g. didn’t want to camp, but didn’t necessarily need super luxury) and the places we stayed were AMAZING. The guides were very knowledgable and we saw so many incredible animals. We are already looking forward to another safari one day!
