The best tour operator ever!
From start to finish, an incredibly caring team — always responsive at any hour and attentive to every detail. Everything was exactly as promised. And Joel might just be the best safari guide in the world — I happily give him that title! 🥰

Unforgetable 5 Day Private Safari with family in Tanzania’s parks
We had an incredible 5-day safari through the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks. Everything was very well organized, with comfortable accommodations. But what definitely made the difference was our guide, Charles! He demonstrated perseverance and experience on the region's difficult roads, always attentive and caring to us and our children. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and did everything he could to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted!
Charles definitely made a difference on our trip!
Thanks Suricata ! Be proud of having Charles in your team!

Best experience in Tanzânia
Suricata handled all the logistics from the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport. The next day, our guide, Amiri, was punctually at the hotel to begin our 7-day adventure through the heart of Africa. During the seven days, he took care of everything to ensure we had the best experience. He diligently searched for all the animals, stopped whenever I wanted to take photos, explained everything we were seeing, and was patient and courteous. His work elevated Suricata's reputation and certainly contributed to me recommending the company to friends.

The best experience
The most beautiful experience with Suricata Safari, from the plane landing in Arusha to the takeoff in Kilimanjaro, the team was attentive to all the details, so that we didn't even feel like we were in a foreign country, on another continent. We felt like home. ❤️
Amur is the best guide and driver. He avoided the unpleasant situations in Serengeti and Ngorongoro that other people encountered and had the answers to every question we had, with appropriate explanations. From the first day, we were the luckiest to see all the animals, thanks to him.
Chef Puis, is one of the best chefs, we had a culinary experience to match, so tasty and healthy, thanks chef!🧑🍳
Thank you for taking care of us and making this experience the most beautiful of our lives! We gained both memories for the soul, and people and friends that we will remember.
See you soon! Hakuna matata 🦁

5 days mid range safari, amazing experience
Our 5-day mid-range safari was an unforgettable experience. The Suricata team was always friendly, supportive, and communication was fast and clear. The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully accommodated our dietary restrictions, including lactose and gluten intolerance.
A special thanks to our guide Melita, knowledgeable, fun, he was great in spot all of the Big Five. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, with Suricata Boma Lodge and the Land of Nature campsite in the Serengeti standing out in particular.
Totally recommended tour and agency!

The best
We make the great safari in Tanzânia with Suricatas and we love the experience.
Rocky was our driver and he is fantastic.
Thanks
Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, this safari was an absolute highlight! Our guide Rocky made the days truly special – with a warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible knowledge about wildlife, plants, and nature.
We didn’t just visit the best spots; we also learned fascinating stories and facts that brought the whole experience to life. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more – always with the utmost respect for the animals and their environment.
The accommodations along the way were comfortable, clean, and full of character – each with its own charm and spectacular views. The food was equally impressive: fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, with delicious local dishes that made every meal a treat.
Our guide answered every question with patience, always knew where the next adventure was waiting, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of at all times.

They Don’t Deliver What They Promise, Constant Lies, No Refund
We booked a 4-day midrange honeymoon safari with Suricata Safaris. What we got: reversed itinerary without notice, exhausting drives to meet the itinerary of people that was doing a 3 day safari with us, downgraded lodges that were not lodges almost 2 hours outside the parks, and a schedule cut short to match other guests. Multiple times we were moved to much worst accommodation with no warning.
The worst part: the lying. At the end, they apologized, promised compensation, and assured us a refund for 1 of the 4 days. Their own messages tell the story:
“Please accept our sincere apologies for the issues you experienced during your 4-day safari. We’re truly sorry to hear that your trip—especially such a special occasion as your honeymoon—fell short of expectations in several key areas.”
"This is not the kind of experience we aim to deliver, and we regret that you were not informed of the changes in advance.”
"Your refund has been successfully initiated. Please allow up to 24 hours."
"Please share your bank details" (after claiming it was sent).
"I’ll send the bank slip shortly" — which never existed.
No refund ever arrived. Just lie after lie. Trying to sort it out through our bank now.
We understand sometimes things can be a bit unpredictable and changes might occur, but we don't accept the continuous trickery. Drivers and guides are good, but Suricata’s logistics and dishonesty ruin everything. If we’d known, we’d have booked elsewhere.
