My experience with Suricata Safaris has been 10.
From the first minute they were attentive to us, in my case I traveled with my mother and any need was attended to by the company.
Starting with the taxi driver who picked us up the first day, friendly and attentive, and continuing with:
The guide: an excellent professional, he has lynx eyesight and it shows that he is passionate about his work, he enjoys what he does and above all he reflects it on a day-to-day basis.
The cook: Brutal, every day he has surprised us with typical dishes from the African land, all incredibly good and to add that he has been very attentive and friendly at all times.
In general, everyone has a joy that characterizes them and that is contagious and is necessary on a vacation.
For my part, dream come true and it is thanks to them.

Unforgettable Experience
A Dream came true and thanks a lot to Suricata Safaris, who made an excellent job.
To learn more about Arusha and Tansania we booked the Arusha citytour. Our guide, Swaleh, showed us everything we wanted to know. It's worth it!
The day after we started our 7 day camping Safari with Lewis, our personal and the best guide. We loved every single day of this Safari. Lewis showed us the impressive wildlife and we learned a lot of the wildlife behaviour!
During the safari we always had very good and freshly prepared food from our chef, Pius.
A special thanks to Lewis and Pius, you both made sure we had an unforgettable time!
We highly recommend Suricata Safaris!

Amazing organized
We have dreamed of seeing the African wildlife for a long time. We became aware of Tanzania through friends of ours and then of suricata through a recommendation. We booked a 7 day camping safari and loved it from the start. All questions were answered quickly beforehand. And the safari itself is super organized. The cars are very good and comfortable and the campsites are well equipped. We had a great guide who showed us the impressive wildlife. And at every meal we had a fantastic meal. The food was delicious, always freshly prepared and varied. Special thanks to Lewis as our guide and Pius as our chef. You both were amazing! We can clearly recommend Suricata Safari.

Incredible! Once in a life time experience.
We had an incredible experience on our 4-day safari wit Suricata. Everything was a well organised from end-to-end with airport pick-up and flexible accommodation either side of the trip, and a jam packed safari tour.
Over the 4-day we were able to see huge number of animals from a pride of lions feasting on a zebra, to families of elephants
with their babies. Our Suricata guide Frederick was incredible and really made our trip, he had such detailed knowledge on all the animals we saw, and was so helpful for our entire trip.
Across the 4 days we saw such a variety of landscapes including the beautiful Ngorogoro Crater and the endless plains of the Serengeti.
We chose the camping option, and were a very impressed with the catering where we had 3 hot meals freshly made for us everyday. I only have positive things to say about our experience, and would highly recommend the company.

Best value for this price
Nice experience, we saw a lot of Animals. Just for information: The roads in Africa are really bad and you will sit every day in the car about 6 hours. But with the guide Lisa it will make a lot of fun and you will get some information about the animals. We saw the big five animals and a lot more :)

Super professional, reliable and Friendly service!
Probably the best 4 days of my life! Safari in Tanzania is something we have always wanted to do and we couldn't have picked a better company to do it with than Suricata Safaris.
Our Guide Freddy was so knowledgeable, friendly and professional! He taught us so much about the parks, it's animals and also the massai people.
Everything organised by Suricata was super efficient and everything went smoothly. We opted for the midrange package and the Accommodations provided were outstanding. All the staff were friendly and helpful and all the food prepared was delicious and plentiful.
I will definitely return to tanzania in the future and won't hesitate to choose Suricata again!

The most amazing experience
We had the most amazing experience with Suricata. From the first email to Hilary everything was so clearly explained. The communication throughout was amazing. No hidden extras. We were picked up and dropped off everywhere as planned. Our driver Freddy was outstanding. His knowledge of the parks and the animals was fascinating. I learned so much and my love for the animals has grown even more! His driving was exceptional and his knowledge of the parks allowed us to see even more animals. We seen the most amazing things that I will never forget such as lions eating a zebra. The landscapes in the national parks are so beautiful. The food and accomodation on the mid range package was amazing. I would 10000% recommend Suricata. They are so professional and reliable and nothing is a problem. We are so glad we choose them for our honeymoon! If visiting Tanzania and doing a safari please choose Suricata, you will not regret it

Doing a Safari with Suricata was an amazing experience. They take care of everything so you can focu
Doing a Safari with Suricata was an amazing experience. They take care of everything so you can focus exclusively on the tour. Tha guide and tha cook man were so friendly and helpful. Me and my husband decided to do the camping and it was amazing. A great time to meet different people around the world and even see animals (elephant!!) on the camps. If you are not that adventure there are also lodge options with more structure. After doing a lot of research, because this is not a cheap trip, Suricata was the best cost-benefit agency.

Fantastic from start to finish!
Suricata offered impeccable service from initial inquiry with Hillary, who gave quick and informative responses pre-arrival. Collection from the airport with Mr T was smooth and very safe, late at night. We were met at the hotel by Ally who gave a full and thorough briefing for our 5 day safari so we knew exactly what to pack and expect.
Ezekiel - our safari guide - met us the following morning and was just perfect throughout. He tailored the trip to our needs, took on board exactly what we wanted to see and gave us the space to explore and enjoy the safari to its full potential.
His knowledge was amazing; answering all question we gave to him relating to the animals and wildlife - and there were a lot! A really sound guy!
He was great at spotting all the animals and even found us a couple of rhinos on the last day so we could tick off the big 5.
Vehicle - our vehicle was by far the best we came across. It was a lot bigger than most with huge viewing windows. It was also a completely different colour to others so easy to find at mealtimes. The car had electric charging ports too so no fear of missing a photo opportunity.
Food - every lunch time we had a tasty, warm home cooked meal and evening meals were always 3 - 4 courses and great quality. Plenty of fresh juices and yummy coffee!
Accommodation - far exceeded expectations. Suricata provided accommodation pre and post safari in Arusha for no additional cost. The first 2 nights of safari we stayed in a lovely lodge with swimming pool, and option for a massage (which was nice after a long days travel). The last two nights we stayed in tented camps in the Serengeti and ngorongoro national parks. The rooms were huge with toilets, shower and electricity. In the Serengeti you could watch the sunrise from bed which was just incredible. The camps are in the parks so animals can and do come near your tent - but it’s very safe and the staff will escort you if leaving your tent at night.
There really isn’t anything I could suggest to improve the trip. Cannot recommend suricata and Ezekiel enough and just Thank-you for giving us the best experience.
