Suricata was professional, friendly, helpful, and very attentive to our needs.
I would recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an amazing Tanzania safari experience. They were affordable, professional, and very attentive to our needs. Our drivers Max and Mandela were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable—providing great info about the wildlife and the Tanzanian culture and answering all our questions. The whole experience was top notch!

the best
My husband and I contacted Suricata Safaris on the strength of positive reviews and were immediately sent a schedule with options. We opted for a 5 day shared tour visiting Lake Manyara, Tarengeri, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The off-roader was equipped with every comfort including USB sockets, but the highlight was Rockie, our driver and guide. An incredible guy, full of life and knowledge. Well prepared for everything. We stayed in amazing lodges throughout the safari while the day before and two days after we stayed in two hotels in arusha. Thanks also to Daniel's welcome who came to us before the safari to explain everything.

Absolutely a unique experience
We had a 5 day safari with Suricata - and ist was an incredible experience.
We chose the version with camping, being close to the wilderness.
Our safari guide Rocky was super knowledgeable about any animals, history and everything about Tanzania. He was always smiling and made us feel super comfortable!
We had great food freshly cooked by the chef - even in the middle of Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Highly recommend it!

Safari!
Saw all the big 5 and more in our 2 day safari. No complaints highly recommended! Airport pick up and drop off went very smoothly as well, even though our outbound flight was very early!

Unforgettable authentic experience, combining trekking, local culture and water fun
If you are interested in a truly authentic and local experience, getting to know the daily life of the Tanzanian people, who work and live at the footsteps of Mount Kilimanjaro, you have to do the Day Trip with Mister T

Amazing Safari!
We had an amazing Trip. Everything was well organized and worked out perfectly from the beginning. The accommodations were beautiful, especially the Suricata Boma Lodge.
Moreover the food during the Safari was delicious - Thank you Chef Salim!! Compared to other meals we saw Suricata offers a 5* meal, with table clothes a variety of different dishes like vegetables, beans and meat or fish as well as coffee after lunch in the bushes.
Regarding the tour our guides Bryson and Mandela were well experienced, showed us the best spots and elaborated on animal behaviors and habits. They could answer any questions and even spotted the smallest birds.

Incredible safari experience
We did so much research and contacted >10 safari companies and the Suricata quote was by far the best value
We were comforted by all the positive reviews and their experience really shone through during our time with them - they are flexible and happy to add on elements to the trip at the guests request (we went to Olduvai Gorge museum and did a short hike to Olmoti crater)
Overall, Suricata made the whole experience fantastic
We would like to say a particular thanks to our absolutely wonderful wonderful guide Kevin, he was incredible. We were quite particular about what we hoped to get out of our 6 days (there were some particular birds we were excited about) and he made sure to tailor the experience so we could see as many as possible and also bought us a book to help us identify them.
He was extremely attentive / thoughtful - he noticed I was bothered by the tsetse flys and brought a fan the next day so I could shoo them away; if we mentioned there were certain foods we wanted to try he spoke to the chef and they were on the menu the next day! I got the impression that our having a good time was his number one priority
He was amazing and really helped to elevate our entire safari experience - thank you Kevin!

Perfect Safari Experience in Tanzania
Going on safari with Suricata has been an incredible experience. We‘ve seen so many different animals and were able to fully enjoy the wildlife due to the excellent organization of the tour. Max has been a perfect guide and driver, super laid back, charming and well-informed. Camping in the national parks is an amazing experience even though it can get somewhat cold during the night. However, waking up so close to the animals is absolutely worth it. We were provided with everything necessary for the tour and especially the food was brilliant. If you want to go on Safari in Tanzania, go with Suricata!

Super
I thoroughly enjoyed a 5-day mid-range safari with Jikil; it comes highly recommended. When I return, I will undoubtedly choose Suricata once again.
From the moment of airport pickup to the exceptional food, comfortable accommodations, and well-organized game drives, everything was executed with professionalism.
Furthermore, every member of the Suricata team I encountered exhibited remarkable kindness and helpfulness.
A special shoutout to Chuke for his generous assistance in resolving my ATM issues in Arusha – his support was truly invaluable.
