Amazing Safari Experience!!!
Wonderful experience, would absolutely recommend anyone else to book their Safari through Suricata. Our tour guide, Damian, was amazing and went above and beyond for us to view the big five. He was a pleasure to spend time with and always had the entire trip under control arranged all the pick ups and food really well. 5 star guide, Mnyama mkali!!
The Safari itself was absolutely amazing, 5 stars: saw leopards, hundreds of elephants, lions cubs, 3 male lions, hundreds of hippopotamus, thousands of zebra and gnus, buffalos, multiple antílopes, and even elands and a rhino. The views, sunsets and wildlife were absolutely stunning and breadth taking. Highly highly recommend this experience in Tanzania. Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater are an absolute must. Recommend the tented lodges for a cheaper midrange option, super comfortable and a great experience overall. All nights were welcomed by some animal visitors wondering around the tents adding to the overall experience.
As for Suricata safari and planing, worked great. The company was incredibly responsive over email (contacting through Kuria), before and during the Safari to arrange all accommodations. Made everything easy. Airport pick ups and drop offs went smoothly. And payments were preferred through a Tanzanian version of PayPal (Pesapal) for the 25% downpayment, and then paying by cash. If you do not want to pay by cash upon arrival that is not a problem. Also worked just fine to make the remaining payment through the same PesaPal link, however make sure to have internet to access the sites when you arrive. Also highly convenient. A nice extra was that Suricata was able to arrange small daily expeditions for the remainder of my stay (2 extra nights before my flight out), and that was a time well spent. Overall, 5 stars review, would book through them again in the future!
To the entire Suricata Team: Thank you for this wonderful experience! Asante sana, hadi wakati ujao!

Best holiday yet
One of the greatest experiences of my life so far. Very well organised tour. Rasta man was the best guide - insightful, kind, and always happy. The chef catered to my dietary needs and I was never hungry. Would recommend this tour to anyone

Best Safari Around
My wife and I went on an incredible 6-day midrange private tour with Suricata Safari’s guide- Ameri.
We saw so much African wildlife, ate delicious meals, and stayed at beautiful, comfortable, friendly lodges!
4hrs into our first day with Ameri, I told my wife I was thrilled that we picked Suricata as our Safari company. With out a doubt in my mind they were the best safari company everywhere we went. I will be coming with Suricata Safaris in the future and hope to see Ameri again! Great value for the experience!

Simon is great!
Simon was a great safari guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. While the itinerary I booked got a little messed up and I was with different groups each day, Simon more than made up for it. In general, the camping safari was good value.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure: Exceptional Guide, Cuisine, and Wildlife Encounters
Our safari trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire was an unforgettable adventure! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. A huge shout-out to our guide, Louis, who went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the incredible wildlife these parks have to offer. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the landscape was outstanding. We were able to spot everything from the Big Five (except leopard) to rare bird species, thanks to Louis’ keen eyes and dedication.
We also felt incredibly safe and well taken care of at the camps. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, and we always felt at ease. Special thanks to chef Jeremiah, who truly made the trip memorable with his culinary skills. Every meal, whether it was lunch or dinner, was absolutely delicious. The dinner, in particular, was exceptional—it was the perfect end to our days of adventure.
Overall, we had an amazing time. The combination of stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and excellent hospitality made this safari an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re considering a trip, don’t hesitate—it’s worth every moment!

Wise choice
An unforgettable journey.
From the beginning the correspondence with the company was fast and straightforward. Everything was as we agreed. Accomodations was sometimes rather luxurious, than mid-range. I really want to thank my guide, "Rasta Man", to show us as many animals as possible, and waiting with patience for our photoshooting. Not to mention the vast amount of interesting information he shared with us about animals, plants, and national parks in general. And last but not least I want to say thank you for chef James. He made sure we had plenty delicious lunch every day. I'm completely satisfied with the whole experience.
