A once in a lifetime experience at a competitive price!!
With Suricata Safaris we had a once in a lifetime experience, at an affordable price.
We started by check-in at the Arusha lodge, when we met our super friendly guide.
The day after we departed to Tarangire National Park where we saw elephants, lions, zebras, among many other animals. They were all so close to our car!! We then had lunch at an amazing viewpoint.
The food was great through out the safari thanks to a dedicated chef that prepared and explained all our meals.
By nightfall we set up camp on a secure location (with wifi!!) and rested after a few drinks with other group members.
In the second day we headed out to Serengeti, on a wonderful car trip where we saw plenty of animals, different climates and got to know different tribes, including the renowned Maasai.
The Serengeti National Park was incredible! Its truly a world natural treasure! With its almost infinite plains and vast biodiversity. We saw hundreds of thousands of gazelles (not exaggerating), lions, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, zebras, cheetas, antilopes, among so much more… It was truly unforgettable.
A word of appreciation to our driver and guide, Ezequiel, that led us to the best spots to appreciate the wildlife and capture some of the most amazing photos that I ever taken!
In the third and final day, we went to Ngorogoro Carter. Another amazing experience on this massive volcanic crater, rich with wildlife and breath-taking landscape. We could see the final animal of the “big five”, the rhinoceros!!
Overall, I highly recommend experiencing a safari with Suricata Safaris! It was an amazing voyage, with friendly and helpful guides, and at a very competitive price point!

Fantastic 3 Day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Tour Safari
We just finished a 3 day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Safari with Suricata and it was a fantastic experience!
Our guide Rocky was exceptional, very personable and well prepared and informative. He is what made the tour as good as it was. Salim our chef made sure that our dietary requirements weren't a problem (2 vegans) and ensured that we had fresh hot lunches each day.
Thanks to Hilary and the team, their organisation was great and nothing was a problem for us. We had accomodation sorted and transfers to/from different airports after our tour had finished.
This was our 2nd safari in 5 weeks so we had high expectations but Suricata definitely delivered. I wish we had time to do a longer tour with them.
Don't hesitate to book with this company - just do it, you won't be disappointed!

Great team, well organised and professional
I booked a 3 day Safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro and had a wonderful experience seeing the big 5 and lots of other wild life in their natural habitat.
Our guide Lewis was just great, knew all the ropes and had great knowledge about the animals. The food provided by our chef Salim was absolutely delicious, fresh and diverse. Sleeping on the campsites was an unknown but enriching experience- thank you Hilary, for convincing me to book that option, but most importantly I felt safe and well taken care of at all times.
Thank you Suricata!

Professionals and know how take care about us in the mountain
I'm a 27 years old girl who was for 6 days in a expedition with Suricata Safaris. It was one of the best experience I have ever had. The crew of suricatas was amazing, they took care about us every second of the day. Our guides (Fredy Ngogo and Alex Kilembu) know about the mountain, the history of kilimanjaro, the nature, the security, about alpinism and they were really atent at us, and at our needs. They know how to made to feel us confortable. I think in that tipe of expeditions being aware of the sintoms of altitud is really important, and they know how to do it, they know how to acclimataise well and prevent the real problems that altitud can cause. We summit the top of kilimanjaro, without need of pills, feeling good, with their indications and their advise. We did it by the way of machame route but they know all the routes that summit kilimanjaro. They were really professionals and amazing!!!
The porters (Emmanuel Midimi, Gasto Ngogo, Emily Swai, Martin, Happygood Jeremia, Elia Chacha, Mohammed Athuman) were also incredible, they were taking care about our things every moment, they made us feel like a mamber of a family, those guys were really strong and lovely with us.
The food was like if your mum were cooking, every day we ate different tipes of food, we'r really thankfull on the cook, Watson Matayo, who was making sure we had enought energy to climb! And we couldn't forget Riziki Tarimo our waiter, who made easy to get up every morning. I feel really thankfull about him. If I had to choose, I would choose them for sure again, 100%, because I couldn't found a best team in Tanzania. Hakuna matata and pole pole.

The best safari agency
Suricata Safari was our family for 5 days. I have no words to express my gratitude for all what they made for us. Starting with the food, who was absolutely fantastic, our chef Salim cooked for us as a 5 star chef ( we named him during the trip Boss Salim :) and finishing with Fredie our guide who was a real enciclopedy and very very dedicated to our needs and also a big thank you also to Hary, the owner of the agency, all are amazing people. I recommend Suricata Safari from the bottom of my heart!

Best choice for mid-range safaris
We did a mid range group safari with Suricata and it was THE BEST experience! Richard was our guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and great company. The tour is great value for money, Hilary the owner is a former guide himself and knows what makes a difference for his customers. He was very friendly and helpful at all times, making sure everything was running smoothly. While nearly all other safari groups we saw ate from lunchboxes (normally a basic sandwich) we got freshly cooked lunches made by our cook every day with tasty Swahili food, definitely a BIG plus.
If you are exhausted of looking around and comparing offers of safari companies, trust me that Suricata will give you one of the best experience for your money.

Wonderfull Safari Trip with beautiful lodge in the parks and with the animals!!
If you search a confident, serious and great safari you should take Suricata Safari Agency.
My cousin and I, we did a 4-day safari trip well organized by Hillary and Ally from Suricata Safari.
We spent a very good time with our guide Ezequiel and our cooker man Tito.
Ezequiel was very kind and nice with us, taking care of us and tell us good thinks about the game viewing not so much just sufficient as is good.
The cooking during the trip was very tasty, Tito is a very good Tanzanian cooker. We ate 2 times in a lodge and it was not as good as the Tito food ;)!
We did a safari in lodge and not in tent. We had very beautiful lodges with Suricata agency : Angata serengeti lodge, we slept in a luxury tent next to the animals : it was amazing. We enjoyed too Ngorongoro Serena lodge a luxury lodge with a view of the crateria!
Thanks you a lot for all, it was wonderful.
You can book with them closing your eyes ;)

Unforgettable experience
What an amazing experience! Our driver, Lewis, was amazing - very funny and extremely helpful. Everything was really well organized since minute one, with Hilary taking care of everything and Lewis making sure that our Safari was a breeze. We got to see animals really close to our car, and the group was amazing. I can't wait to go back to Tanzania and see more of its natural beauty. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing Safari and local Experience
Perfect experience from pickup to drop off.
Book with Suricata for lions as close as never before, for stunning camp fire and safari sunrise and most friendly local guides.
We have chosen a 4 day group safari with Suricata to Tarangire, Serengeti and to Ngorongoro. The package included full board, airport pickup, game drive, accommodation even before and after the safari, national park entry fees.
After the safari we asked them to guide us also in Moshi-Kilimanjaro region, it was also amazing!
They were very flexible, always accessible, communication was very fast and easy. Reasonable price and very easy payment. This local Tanzanian company has a very good knowledge of the region, they know all of the animals and plants. Our guide, Ezekiel made our trip even more interesting with all the local stories.
We highly recommend Suricata Safaris for anyone who wants to local, professional and fun team to see all big five animals and have an amazing African experience.
Thanks again and see you next time!
