Super knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we saw all the animals we were hoping to see.
I had the most amazing time on this safari. Our guide, Adamu, was the best—super knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we saw all the animals we were hoping to see. Every day felt like a new adventure, and we never felt rushed.
The food was a real surprise—in the best way! I’m vegetarian, and Tito, our chef, made sure I had tons of healthy and delicious options. Honestly, the meals were a highlight on their own.
Everything was really well organized, and the team helped with absolutely everything. I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Can’t recommend it enough!

Unforgettable experience with amazing wildlife, great food, and a brilliant guide!
Incredible trip! The highlight was seeing a cheetah and her cubs. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro were absolutely stunning, and camping in such beautiful places was unforgettable. The food was great, and our driver Shabani was fun, knowledgeable, and made everything easy.

Nice experience
We had a great experience on our Safari! Our guide Rocky was a nice guide who you could have a good laugh with and he could tell us everything about the parks and also about the animals that were there. The accommodations are also good, you get a tent with a mattress and a sleeping bag. You have washrooms and also a dining area. Every evening they cook fresh for you and then you get a box with food for lunch. The food is very varied, we never had the same thing. All in all it was a great experience that will always stay with us.

Adventure and great experience!! 🦁
Our trip was an absolutely amazing experience! We were fortunate to have a fantastic tour guide who really enhanced our journey. Thanks to them, we had the incredible opportunity to see a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat. The camping tents were surprisingly comfortable and well-maintained. Waking up to the beautiful sunrise and the sounds of animals nearby was truly magical. The food was also a standout highlight. We enjoyed a diverse range of dishes, and everything tasted absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for adventure and a close connection with nature!

Very easy and fast communication to make the trip to an absolute highlight.
Our Guide Rocky was very good. He had an answer for every question and loved to answer them and tell some stories. Good was really tasty and it was great that it changed every day.

Amazing Safari experience
The Safari was an incredible experience and our guide Felix was the best! He had many years experience leading tours, super knowledgeable about the ecology and wildlife, and he had a real knack for finding us the best animal sightings. Plus I really appreciated that Suricata was the only company I could find to match a solo traveler with a group! (It was outside the high season, maybe more companies offer it in high season.)
I felt safe, comfortable, very taken care of the whole time. Definitely recommend, and midrange definitely felt well worth the upgrade over tent camping — very plush (except the first night in Arusha at SG Premium Lodge, which felt a bit run down.) Overall magical experience, highly recommend Suricata!

Most magical time of my life
My and my fiance got on a 5 day safari with Suricata and Amiri was our guide. During these 5 days we visited 4 national parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara), each of them was unique in a different way. The tour was perfectly planned, we had some changes on the way due to people joining us, but Amari made the changes so smooth it had No impact on our trip. The jeep we rode was very comfortable (and I know what I’m saying since we’ve spent hours on the road). We chose the mid-range lodge option and all of our accommodations were amazing - with Suricata Boma Lodge standing out on the first place. Breaks were planned perfectly, whenever we needed an extra break Amari always helped. I must mention the delicious meals we got to taste during our trip - we were accompanied by a chef, who cooked for us lunches, which were mostly local dishes, full of vegetables (so vegetarians don’t have to worry!).
And most importantly I would like to thank Amari (again) - you made our trip the time of our lives. Amari shared with us his wide knowledge about the wildlife, fauna and flora, Tanzanian customs. He was a careful, skilled driver, which is not easy among wild animals, on the bumpy roads. Above it all, he was a very cool person, with a very sophisticated sense of humour (which we all loved), and treated us like normal people. Thanks to Amari we got to see The Big 5 and The Ugly 5! I feel like w 12-year old coming back Home from the best summer camp. I will really miss this experience.

Absolutely amazing - very organized!
Absolutely amazing safari! We were given the lowdown by Daniel on day one, we were then picked up by our marvellous guide Golden! Spent the next 4 days exploring Taraguire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Saw everything we wanted to see and more! The food prepared by Salim was way beyond expectations and our tents were always waiting for us thanks to Maleo! The whole thing ran very smoothly, and everyone was SO FRIENDLY! I can’t recommend this company enough we truly had an amazing time!

Smooth running, very knowledgeable and friendly
We had an amazing safari with Suricata! Our driver Golden was super knowledgeable and made sure we saw sooo many animals. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro were absolutely stunning, way beyond what we expected. The food by Salim was really good, and the whole trip was super smooth with hotel stays (included in the price!) before and after, plus airport pick-up and drop-off. The tents were comfy and the campsites were beautiful. Great value, I did a lot of research and this company had the best reviews for good reason. Also very quick replies from Davis.

Great safari experience: 10/10
We just came back from an amazing 4-day safari tour! We are still deeply impressed by the landscape and animals but also very glad for the people we have meet and friends we have found along the way!
The safari was well organized starting from the booking and emails, airport pick up and hotel transfer. Daniel did a great briefing and made sure we were well prepared.
We also did a walking tour with Kevin the first day in Arusha, exploring the city and the local market - learning a lot about culture and local dishes.
Then we had 4 action packed days with our great tour guide Lewis. He does not only know the best places to spot animals (lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetah, hippos, buffalo, serval cat and many more - often including sweet babies) but Lewis was also super funny and shared lots of information about the animals, history of the Maasai and Tanzania. Our small group was a super team and this really added to the experience! Lewis made sure that everyone felt welcome and had a great time. We can definitely recommend Suricata Safari, especially our guide Lewis and will come back one day!
Asante sana ❤️
