You get a great value for the money and they try their best to make it as comfortable as possible.
We were with Pascal for the first two days and we had a lot of beautiful sightings.
The lodge we stayed at was nice. The food, the service and the location was as you wish it to be. The barbecue was the highlight at the dinner.
Pascal always got the best spots for us to get a nice view over everything (landscapes and nature).
Having a huge elephant twice next to you was a unbelievable experience.

Unforgettable Safari with Pascal
We had the most amazing time with Suircata Safari especially with our guide Pascal.
His knowledge not only on all the different animals but about his country and the people were brilliant.
Pascal was very informative, welcoming, funny and overall had a great character. Pascal made us feel welcome and really made the experience of our first Safari that much better. We were only with him for 2 of our game drives as the company changed the schedule which is such a shame but we are very grateful for the experience with him.
Every game drive we did there was no rush, he made sure we got the best photo shots and made the most out of our family Safari experience.
I would highly recommend Suricata Safari, if you are getting Pascal as your guide you are in for an amazing experience.
Suricata boma lodge was also brilliant, the staff were so friendly. All the food included was high quality and delicious, even for my fussy teenage brother he enjoyed it! The lodges are beautiful and really heightened our safari expierence but with a touch of luxury.
There is a couple of things that lets the safari down. The communication was poor prior to arriving, I had no one ask for airport pick up details and I had to chase this myself. The airport hotel was also horrendous. The electrics were hanging off the wall which gave me an electric shock when I tried to turn the light on and cockroaches in the room, it smelt of damp with not even amenities provided, one towel between 2 of us. Also the person who came to meet us at the airport hotel prior to the safari gave us the wrong information.
I feel this is minor and would not effect booking with Suricata Safari again! I can only hope one day I can return and do this once in a lift time experience again.

Outstanding
Wow, what a start to our safari . We met our wonderful guide Pascal who is so passionate and knowledgeable about everything . His excitement and passion is contagious. We were driven around to our first stop Tarangere park were we learnt about the history as well as the animals we may see . Pascal made the drive and the site seeing amazing with the knowledge of the animal markings and plants and wildlife.
The same as Manyara national park . We saw so many elephants , baboons , zebra the list goes on. What an amazing experience . We then stopped for a picnic outside , before continuing.
We stayed Surikata Boma with beautiful authentic surroundings , the lodges were so wonderful and comfortable and we loved their eco friendly ethos . 5 star also for the food , staff and entertainment. You will not be disappointed staying here .

Wonderful 4 day safari tour
I went on a 4 day safari tour where we got to experience the Savannahs and or national parks while staying at different hotels with different settings making the experience unique and new for every nights stay with jeremy as our guide/driver. Wonderful guy with a good sence of humor. Throughout the trip he made sure everyone was made sure of and took the time to stop a few times if needed be, as we watched the animals he often times gave us a quick resume of the animal, and made sure everyone got the photos and videos that they needed. I can fully recommend going on a safari tour with suricata safaris

Every Game Drive Brought a New Surprise.
Rather than rushing from one wildlife sighting to another, this safari gave us time to truly appreciate each moment. We spent several hours exploring Tarangire National Park, where the massive baobab trees, large elephant families, and peaceful atmosphere made the experience feel incredibly special. Later, visiting the Ngorongoro Crater offered a completely different landscape, packed with wildlife and unforgettable views in every direction.
One of the biggest reasons the trip felt so enjoyable was Jeremy. He understood exactly when to stop, where to wait, and how to position the vehicle so everyone had a great view without feeling hurried. His calm approach and genuine passion for Tanzania's wildlife made every drive more interesting. Suricata Safaris delivered a well-planned experience that balanced adventure, comfort, and unforgettable wildlife encounters from beginning to end.

Unforgetable Safari tour with Steve and Lewis
We had amazing experience with Suricata Safaris and the guides Steve and Lewis. We got full picture and info about life in Africa, animals, and we received the best service from the guides we could imagine. Accomodation in the lodges was excellent, food was great and we saw all the animals which Safari offered. Absolutly amazing. I fully recomend Suricata safari with those 2 guys.

Superbly organised and excellent at finding wildlife.
Suricata Safaris are superbly organised. The communication before and during safari was excellent - we were able to discuss all details per Whatsapp before departure. Since our flight was delayed 3 times we were keeping constantly in touch with the operator and Suricata were able to smoothly adjust the pick-up. Our guide, Melita, was amazing at finding the wildlife - in four days we managed to see the entire Big Five and the Ugly Five, not to mention all other amazing animals he spotted for us. Driving in the game area was great - quick when just covering distance, giving us plenty of time to admire the animals once we found them. Very friendly and caring for our comfort and satisfaction. Special praise goes to the chef Salim, who cooked delicious meals every day.
The campsites were clean with good facilities. Too bad that we were not informed that the first campsite has a pool! So if you can, take your swimsuit with you. Also one other thing lost in communication - the Ngorongoro campsite is almost at 2500m elevation - so do take some warm clothes or ask the operator for an additional sleeping bag. BTW our guide was able to organize some in last minute, so all was fine - but to avoid surprises tell about your needs early.
Overall great, unforgettable experience and a good value for money.
