A memorable safari experience!
We had a blast! The food was great. Breakfast lunch and dinner the chef always prepared a nice meal. Our driver was kind and friendly. He also was the best driver out there. When it poured rain and flooded, our driver never got stuck and went above and beyond to traverse whatever roads that might yield another incredible animal. We saw every animal I could think of and more. Even the elusive rhino. A great value and an awesome team made our trip to Tanzania memorable. Even while traveling here from the U.S, they always remained in communication and made sure we were well recieved on arriving. When I come back, its good to know that I can book Suricatas Safaris

Our tour operator was experienced, knowledgeable, and personable.
This safari was such an incredible experience. Suricata Safaris was an incredible host, from picking us up early at the airport, making incredible meals, and ensuring we had everything we needed. I would 100% do this safari again and recommend anyone to book it through Suricata Safaris!

The most awesome trip of a lifetime
This safari trip far exceeded all our expectations. The accommodations and meals were great. We felt totally safe and taken care of the entire time from tbe airport on. The people of Tanzania everywhere we went including restaurants, markets and all our accommodations were so friendly and kind and helpful and wonderful. The animal and park experiences were magical
Most importantly, our guide, Lewis (Rasta Man ) made our trip awesome. He took us to see so many animals and was so patient and attentive to stop and stay and watch what we were interested. He never rushed us, he catered to our intetests. He shared so much information about the animals, the flora and the local culture that made everything so much more personal. He is a special man and he made our trip awesome, a magical and unforgettable experience.
In addition, our local representative Danielli was also wonderful. He took care of everything for us in Arusha and gave us wonderful personal tours and attention we never expected.
Thanks to this tour and the people working it, we had the most awesome trip of a lifetime.
Organized, efficient, and friendly
A fantastic experience! Our guide Amiri was very knowledgable, kind, and considerate. All of the parks and animals were beautiful and the accommodations surpassed my expectations. Great value, highly recommend.

Excellent Safari Tour Operator
We had an incredible safari experience as well as a honeymoon and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Felix. From the moment we set off, Felix was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the wildlife and local culture. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals — even ones that were really well hidden! Thanks to him, we saw everything from lions and elephants to rare birds we would’ve completely missed on our own.
What made the experience even more special was how informative he was. Felix didn’t just point out animals — he shared fascinating facts about their behaviours and habitats, as well as insights into the area’s history and traditions. It gave the whole trip so much more depth and meaning.
We felt safe, well looked after, and completely immersed in the experience. We highly recommend this safari tour.
The service overall was excellent – everyone we met was welcoming and helpful. All the lodges we stayed at were great and the food was also great and tailored to everyone’s pre requested dietary and/or religious restrictions.
We came away with great memories and a much better understanding of the region. Having someone as experienced and enthusiastic as Felix really made the trip something special.
I also want to give a big thank you to Grace who I was in initial contact with prior to our trip and made the booking through. Her communication was great and responded to all my queries with quick responses and gave me a detailed itinerary of what to expect and locations we would be staying which was really helpful.
Word of note. If you’re planning on visiting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area/Crater (which I highly recommend), it can get cold up in the mountain so pack warm clothes.

Perfect Safari Trip
We did a 4-day camping safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with a group of four friends and honestly, everything was amazing. The whole trip was really well planned and organized from beginning to end.
Our guide Lewis was super friendly, open, and made us feel very comfortable right away. He shared a lot of knowledge about the parks and animals, and he also had a great sense of humor which made the drives even more enjoyable.
Our cook Salim did an incredible job too. Every lunch and dinner was delicious, with lots of variety and always enough food for everyone. One of my friends even had a birthday during the trip, and they surprised us with a little celebration, a really thoughtful touch!
The atmosphere during the whole trip was relaxed and positive. We felt very well taken care of and could just enjoy the experience. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. A big thank you to the whole team – highly recommended!

Amazing experience - absolutely recommended
My friend and I went on a camping safari in Tanzania and it was an incredibly great experience! From start to finish everything was super organised so we could enjoy the trip to the fullest.
We would especially like to highlight our guide Damian, who was not only very friendly and funny, but also extremely competent - he knows the national parks very well and has always tried to find the best spots to see animals. In addition, we had a great chef, Jeremiah, who spoiled us during the safari with super delicious food!
In the national parks we have experienced many unforgettable and special moments that will remain in our memory forever. We could see all Big 5! Camping in the middle of nature and all the animals was an absolute adventure. In addition, we were very lucky with our group, which made the trip even more beautiful.
We can really recommend this safari to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable experience!
