They make you feel at home in Tanzania
What a perfect start of our Tanzania holiday with this safari experience with Daniel meeting us at the hotel to give us the first warm welcome! We had the perfecf "african massage" thanks to our driver Golden who drove us around the parks with his calm and experience, helping us spotting animals and giving us quiz questions to learn about them. The food was delicious thanks to our chef James who knows what a group of hungry people need! Fun to drive around another group with Bryson at the driver sit. Asante sana, Suricata Family! We will be back!

Excellent! One of our best vacations!
I spent a long time reading reviews of safari companies before deciding on Suricata - we were so happy with our choice! First, we had to reschedule our trip very last minute because my husband got sick the day before we were supposed to leave for Tanzania. Hilary was very accommodating and let us reschedule for 6 months later. He communicated with him over Whatsapp.
We were met at the airport and taken to our Arusha hotel (Tulia), which was fine and had good food. The first day was Tarangire - highly recommend! So many elephants and giraffes and we saw a lion in a tree. We stayed in the Suricata Bomo Lodge - five stars!! Beautiful views, pool, excellent food.
Second day was a long drive to the Serengeti. Bumpy roads, we helped another jeep with a flat tire. Not many animals to see.
Third day was a game drive in the Serengeti. It was a bit disappointing with the animals very spread out, but that isn’t the guide’s fault. But out guide Golde was always checking with other drivers on where to find the best spots.
Last day was Ngorongoro crater - saved the best for last. So many animals, including rhinos. Our guide Golde got us to the front of all the jeeps for great lion pictures!
Every day they fed us excellent food (too much! We could never finish it).
We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to do another safari with Suricata!

Incredibly well organized, knowledgeable and great value for money
My girlfriend and I joined Suricata for a 3-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was an absolutely unforgettable trip in which we saw more animals than we dared to imagine. We had the pleasure to join four others in a pop-up roof vehicle driven by our extremely skilled, knowledgeable and helpful guide Golden. This was complemented by the great lunches and diners that James prepared for us in increasingly beautiful locations :). The whole trip was flawlessly organized to maximize safari time so also thanks to Daniel and Vumbi for all the behind the scenes work! Moreover, it was very well-priced compared to other offers we received. Can’t wait to go on another adventure with Suricata

Great
Had amazing 5-day safari experience with Suricata Safaris. Our stays were comfortable and all our meals were delicious. Our guide, Rocky, made this experience interesting by sharing the history of parks and great information on flora and fauna. He kept us entertained with his jokes. We had great game-drives and saw lions, leopard, cheetah, elephants, rhinos, hippos and many more.
Thank you Rocky and Suricata Safaris.

Amazing 5 day safari—family of 4
Our family of four just returned from our private 5-day/4-night safari with Suricata Safaris. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend Suricata! Planning was easy and Hilary was very helpful and informative. Their prices were very reasonable, and the door-to-door service by Tawlib once we arrived at the airport made the trip easy. Our guide and driver, Ezekiel, was absolutely fantastic. We really appreciated that he taught us so much about the animals, birds and even the plants. He found every animal we wanted to see and could spot and identify them from so far away. It was easy to spend 5 days with such a kind and friendly person! He also arranged our itinerary so we could stay two nights in a row at the same lodge, which was great. We were upgraded to a stay at the wonderful Suricata Boma Lodge at Lake Menyara. It was amazing—beautiful resort-like villas with incredible views and unbelievably kind and welcoming staff (plus a pool and spa). We also stayed at two different Angata Tented Camps (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) which were very comfortable and welcoming and the staff made our youngest feel so special he didn’t want to leave! The food was terrific at every location and we were served a hot cooked lunch every day on safari. Suricata staff asked about our food allergies/restrictions and preferences and the food was so delicious! Overall Suricata Safaris was incredible and I highly recommend them!
Very good experience
We had an amazing experience in Tanzania of two days thanks to Suricata Safaris. Chuke helped us with everything we needed, and above that he took us on a tour in Arusha, which I strongly recommend if you have more time here. We enjoyed the Safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The drivers (I wish I remembered both names, but I will mention Ellen here) took us to many places where we were able see most of the animals and the food was very good.

Suricata Safaris surpassed expectations! Daniel's insightful guidance helped our adventure. We truly appreciated Freddy, a stellar driver and Tanzania's nature ambassador, shared profound wildlife insights. Tom's cooking added a flavorful touch. Together, they crafted an exceptional journey, leaving us with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the wonders of Tanzania.

Amazing experience with a great guide/driver, very nice food and accommodation
It was an amazing experience! Our guide, Freddy, was so knowledgeable about everything related to the area and the animals and was always keen to provide us with all details. Great driving skills as well! Overall, maybe the best guide you can get. Also, the food provided to us was really nice. Last, Daniel helped a lot with his instructions before the beginning of the safari and was very kind and welcoming. 100% satisfied with Suricata Safaris.
