Best tour operator ever!
Our Tanzania Safari with Suricata tour was AMAZING❤️! I have no words to describe the emotions we felt. We saw so many animals that we could no longer keep count… 5 cheetahs, 2 leopards, a Servalle, lots of elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and so on and so forth. Our guide Freddi (Frederik) was great! He explained us everything about animals, plants, environmental protection, etc about Tanzania and the wonderful parks we visited. The trip was well organized and the accommodations were beautiful and all different. We stayed in a crazy lodge in front of Lake Manyara (Suricata Boma Lodge), then we stayed in the Agata Camp in the Serengeti and then again in the Torillis Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater. Once again we sincerely thank all the staff who have been extremely kind and attentive (I have never found such a welcome in any of my travels, and I travel a lot). The food was always very good, perhaps the breakfast could be improved just a little. If you get the chance, don't hesitate for a second to visit Tanzania because it is truly a fantastic country that pays attention to its nature. Negative notes? None

Best Safari Guides, amazing!
The guide from Suricata Safari was totally amazing (his name is Rocky) and the company took good care of us all the time. They organize pickup, drop to airport, all accommodations, warm food during safari, its amazing!
We also saw lots of wildlife and got lucky to see all the Big5.

Amazing experience
We had such a great time in our safari thanks to Suricata Safaris. Everything went well, the overnight stays were good as well as the food. We had Rocky as a guide and he was absolutely amazing.

Great service on fantastic 4 days camping safari
My wife and I went on a 4-day group safari with Suricata Safaris going to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The tour was well-organized from start to finish. We were picked up at Arusha Airport and taken to a hotel in Arusha the day before beginning the trip (this service and hotel are included) where we were met by our guide Edgar who explained to us what was going to happen the next four days. Edgar was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the enrtire tour, and he succeeded in guiding us to see almost every animal we could have wanted, incl lions, cheetahs with cubs, leopard, elephants, hyenas, almost every species of antilope, girafes, two rhinos, and more.
We travelled in a comfortable jeep in a group of seven people, which worked fine.
We stayed in different camp sites which were decent, the tents were pitched when we arrived every evening and provided with sleeping pads and sleeping bags. The food was excellent thanks to our two man cooking/camp site team. Solid breakfasts with eggs, pancakes, toasted bread and fresh fruit; deliciously coocked lunches consisting of rice, meat stews and vegetables; and two course dinners (amazing soups for starter and a varying selection of hot dishes for the main course + wine. We felt lucky as we saw many our tour groups were only provided with basic lunch boxes with some sandwiches instead of our freshly coocked "proper" food.
The only problem we had was with some park entrance payments one day, apparently due to some network issues (internet is usually quite bad anywhere in Tanzania, at least in our experience) and was fairly quickly resolved without too much delay.
All in all, I can only strongly recommend going on a safari with Suricata, which we felt were also competitively priced ($780 per person, all inclusive). The service was great the entire way, and I would definitely use them again if I return to Tanzania one day.

Suricata Safaris provided great end-to-end service with support of amazing staff; highly recommended
"Silas and Salim were the perfect safari guides for our trip to Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. They were both knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about wildlife. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience.
We saw all of the Big Five on our safari, including lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes. Silas was an excellent wildlife spotter and he was able to find animals that we would have never seen on our own. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and the parks. He told us interesting facts about the animals and their behavior.
Salim was an amazing chef. He prepared delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients. He also took into account our dietary restrictions. We never went hungry on our safari!
Both Silas and Salim were very friendly and accommodating. They made us feel welcome and comfortable. They were always happy to answer our questions and help us in any way they could.
Silas is a very patient and experienced guide. He was able to find animals that we would have never seen on our own, even when they were well-camouflaged.
Salim is a very creative and talented chef. He was able to prepare delicious meals using a variety of ingredients, even when we had specific dietary restrictions.
Both Silas and Salim are very passionate about wildlife conservation. They told us about the work that they do to protect the animals in the parks that we visited.
They are both very funny and charming people. They kept us entertained throughout the safari with their jokes and stories. We had an outstanding time on our safari with Silas and Salim.
We were also very impressed with the overall organization of our safari. Suricata Safaris took care of everything, from arranging our additional tours and accommodation to arranging our transfers and activities. We didn't have to worry about a thing, which made our trip even more enjoyable. A special shoutout to Mr. T, Ally, and Hilary Chrispine.
Overall, we had an outstanding safari experience with Suricata Safaris. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safari in Tanzania."

Amazing Safari
We booked a five day safari including Tarangire National Park, Manyara National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park and chose the tented lodging option.
In a group of six tourists we started the safari the next morning. Our guide Louis did a great job. He was really knowledgeable about the animals and brought us around safely. He was able to spot even the most hidden animals so we could see all of the big 5! For some of the days we were accompanied by a chef who cooked great lunches for us.
We stayed at the Suricata Boma lodge for two nights. This Lodge was just incredible - maybe even the nicest place I have ever stayed in! The tented lodges we stayed in were also beautiful. We always had a hot shower after the game drive, comfortable beds and delicious dinners.
Overall we are really satisfied with the safari! It was even better than expected. Thank you very much for that incredible experience.

Exceptional experience
Me and my girlfriend were on the 5-day midrange group safari tour. Really great range of national parks (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro), fantastic food (especially compared to food other safari companies provided to their customers) and luxurious glamping sites and lodges. Our ranger/guide Ezekiel really did an awesome job to show us the best spots of all, provided us with basically unlimited knowledge about flora and fauna and was a genuinely good guy. It was definitely an exceptional experience worth the money! 10/10

The best Safari tour operator in Tanzania
Our 6 day camping safari with Suricata was really, really great. We saw everything we wanted and even more.
Rocky is the BEST guide. He is funny, friendly and knows so much about the parks and the animals.
Camping was really good, the company selected great camp sites. The food was perfect. Our cook Jamesi prepared fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every meal was delicious.
I highly recommend going on a Safari with Suricata.

Amazing experience with delicious food and an incredible team
First time in Tanzania with my sister and had an amazing time with the team at Suricata. Our guide; Gordon was incredibly accommodating and made sure all members of our group were well taken care of. He also has a vast amount of knowledge to share and a keen eye for spotting the incredible wildlife in the parks. Our chef;
Tito also of himself with all the freshly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinners we had over for days. Food was top tier and catered to everyone's diets! All tents were prepared and packed perfectly each time we arrived at the campsites by the team of porters behind the scenes.
Speaking of camping, I am not a huge fan of it but this experience certainly made it a comfortable experience.
Transactions were handled smoothly and instructions were clear for each day and activity would proceed. Our group were also very lucky to have seen the big 5 and more on our first two days (four on the first day) with a day to spare. Would highly recommend this team. Asante sana! Thank you for having usp
