Reliable
We had good good communication with the company and were efficiently picked.up from the airport & transferred. James our cook fed us extremely well and Luther was informative and pointed out wildlife. The only bonus would have been if the company arranged for an earlier start time to enter the parks.

Amazing experience
Very good experience. The trip to Serengeti is a bit long. But the guide and driver Melita, very experienced, always found various wild animals quickly. Very good!The first campsite was in a fantastic location, but the facilities could have been a bit better. The same was true for the second campsite.I would like to highlight the head chef Lucas, very simple but careful, and he cooked very well, despite the limitations of the conditions. I really liked the head chef, Lucas.The guide Melita was very helpful.
Very good expe⁸rience
We had a 3-day camping safari experience and it was truly an incredible experience, mainly because we were able to see all the animals up close. I have to thank Melita, our guide, and our chef, who did an excellent job. One allowed us to see all the animals and explained every detail, and the other prepared all the meals with great care, always serving appetizing food. Overall, the experience was very good; the campsites have an incredible atmosphere and provide an experience side-by-side with wild animals. I only feel that some things could be improved, namely the conditions of the campsite bathroom. On the first day, there was no toilet paper.

Suricata offered us an excellent tour and amazing experience with o my some organizational issues
On our 3 day tour through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater we got to see so much of the wildlife mostly thanks to our amazing tourguide Melita. His experience and knowledge about the Nationalparks helped us see all the different species, including the big 5! He was an amazing guide and made the experience very special.
The campsites were very clean, equipped with the necessary amenities and very well located. We had amazing sunsets, sunrises and Zebras in the camps. The food included was always delicious and big portions so that everybody had enough.
The safari tour experience and our guide deserve 5 stars without a doubt!
Unfortunately we can only give 4 stars for the overall experience because of some organizational issues in the beginning. We were told to be picked up at the airport and after waiting for one hour with nobody responding to our messages or calls we had to find ourselves a taxi. Also the included accommodation was not very clearly communicated so we double booked. After a long exchange we were compensated to make up for the caused trouble, which we appreciated after the frustrating arrival.
Either way we would recommend the tour to anybody considering it.

A dream come true!
Suricatas Safari made my lifelong dream of a Tanzanian safari come true. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara, each offering breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters. Our guide, Emanuel, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and with an amazing eye for spotting animals, including a rare black rhino and a pair of lions on their honeymoon!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable vehicle to the well-planned itinerary. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

Amazing Safari experience
What a great experience.Our Guide Damian did a very great Job,smart and handsome Always giving us a Lot Background information. You can tell he knows what He is doing-we were always on the right spot and lucky to see many animals very close.
Suricata Bomba Lodge is amazing and also the night in Serengeti was a memorable experiences.
Unfortunatally nobody was at JRO Airport to pick us up - but Suricata managed everything very professional and quick.
This is really the only reason why we only give 4*-other than that we can only recommend this company - we got more than expected. Thanks to the whole Team for making our Safari unforgetable.

5 Day Great Safari - Surreal Experience!
We booked a 5-day group Great Safari which was an incredible experience! We saw the big 5 animals in 1 day. Our itinerary included Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Our guide, Melita, has in depth knowledge of all the animals, parks, and the Maasai people. He navigated the drive really well. I am so glad he was our guide!! My only feedback is for improved communication with the briefer. Our itinerary was changed and we weren’t informed until the night prior. I also had difficulty reaching our briefer after the Safari to arrange transfers but all was arranged appropriately in the end. The tour was all inclusive with transfers, food, water, and lodging. All of the lodging were very beautiful, accommodated different dietary restrictions, and were in scenic places in the parks. The exception is the SG resort in Arusha which unfortunately had outdated and unclean rooms for one of our nights. Overall, I recommend this operator for your journey!

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.
Once in a lifetime experience
The scenery is so good and I’m really surprised that there are varieties of animals in safari! The campsite we stayed has a room to improve in a shower room but in total the experience was brilliant!

Great safari
We had an amazing experience on this safari! We saw so many different types of animals right from the start, and most of these were so close to the car we had a great view. Our guide Lewis was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we put to him. The food and camping facilities were all great and better than expected. Chef Salim made sure we were always well fed with great food. Highly recommended!
