Beautiful experience
Perfect organization, with a competent and pleasant guide ( Asante sana, Mr Golden) that lead us in all four national parks/conservation areas; campings were well provided and all the staff were kind and super efficient. Food were delicious (Asante sana, Chef Tito) and the jeep was comfortable, nothing to complain, recommended.

Experience for life!!!
I wouldn’t change a single thing about this amazing safari. Starting with the warm welcome at our arrival in Arusha by Mr. T, he gave us all the information we needed, very precise and with patience. Then we met Fredy, our guide, a beautiful person. He was an excellent driver, he knew exactly where to go and what we needed at all times through the parks but also how to find us and how to contact us no matter where we were, solve any doubts or issues along the way. He was very respectful and calm, he transmitted us safety at all times, and his knowledge about wildlife, about all species and their behavior, was absolutely outstanding. Beside him in the 4x4 we had our super chef Pius, verything he cooked was yummy! Always local dishes, proper hot meals and not boxes like other safari companies. The Lodges and Camping Sites were absolute fabulous, in memorable emplacements, and the employees always made us feel like we were at home. Finally we met Daniel at our hotel in Arusha, for the debrief, he received us with his Tanzanian smile, and still with tears in my eyes, we thanked them all for this amazing and unforgettable experience!!
Thanks Tanzania, thanks Tanzanians and thanks Suricata Safaris for making this possible! Asante sana, hakuna matata!!!!!
I could only rate 5 stars!?
Everything has been above expectations! The organization has been spectacular, it has made the trip very easy. To highlight the quality of the hotels and the experience shown by the company. The welcome of Mr. T, Pius with his spectacular local cuisine, Daniele with his recommendations,...but above all, our dear Fredy, our guide (since now a friend). I have no words to tell you about him: from the first minute with a smile on his face. Excellent driver, always with safety first, he is a true encyclopedia on wildlife, intelligent, friendly, polite, decisive,...I enjoyed talking to him about his country and the love he shows for it and he has made us feel the same about Tanzania.

Amazing Safari Experience
The overall travel experience was fantastic!
Accommodation
* Day 1: The hotel was comparable to a luxury hotel, with comfortable beds, excellent facilities, and reliable internet access.
* Days 2-onward: The real safari adventure began, and we stayed at three different campsites. Each campsite had decently clean toilets and showers available for use.
* Important Notes:*
* It's essential to bring a lantern and a mobile battery, as there are no lights in the tents at night.
* Some campsites don't have outlets, so be mindful of your battery life. You can charge devices in the vehicle during transfers.
Tour Experience
We were fortunate to see a wide variety of animals unique to Africa. Our guide was excellent and collaborated with other guides to ensure we got as close as possible to the animals. The tour was comfortable, with water provided throughout. Be sure to pack extra shower supplies and changes of clothes, as it's inevitable to get dusty.
Meals
All three meals a day were delicious! We enjoyed a balanced diet of meat, fish, and vegetables, with seasonings that suited our Japanese palates. Water and cola were provided with meals, and there were also wet wipes for hygiene.
Airport Transfer
The tour staff provided thorough guidance and were very helpful, even carrying our luggage.

I had the best experience for driving all day. Thank you very much.
I had a wonderful experience with taking some pictures of animals. And especially visiting Massai Dorf was awesome. I’ll recommend people to visit safari.

Once in a lifetime! Friendly and a good time
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a four-day safari adventure with Suricata, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. From start to finish, this trip exceeded all expectations, and I can't recommend Suricata highly enough! From the really reasonable price to the tour guide it was such a great expirence.
Our driver, Max, was a true highlight of the experience. Not only was he an exceptionally smooth driver, but his professionalism and deep knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystem enriched our journey immensely. His humor kept our spirits high, making each day even more enjoyable as we explored these stunning parks.
The accommodations were nothing short of extraordinary. We stayed in some truly unreal locations, surrounded by nature and wildlife. I never imagined being so close to elephants and buffaloes in their natural habitat. At night, the sounds of the African wilderness filled the air, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. And let me assure you, we felt completely safe throughout our stay!
The culinary experience was another standout aspect of our trip. Each day, we were treated to exceptional meals that showcased the best of Tanzanian cuisine. Our chef was not only talented but also incredibly accommodating and kind. His passion for food made every meal a highlight of the day—definitely a legend in his own right!
Overall, my safari with Suricata was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish forever. If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend choosing Suricata for your safari adventure in the Serengeti. You won't be disappointed!

Suricata is very professional and welcoming tour operator.
The Safari Tour was much better than ever expected. All people from Suricata did their utmost that we were able to have the best safari experiences.
Our guide Fredy was great and had a really good knowledge about all animals and was able to answer every question.
He guided us through Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara that we had the opportunity to see all animals that we were hoping to see. Every lunch was exceptionally good and the table was set with a tablecloth. The effort that was made is unique and great. Fredy is a funny guy due to his very kind and professional character he had a huge impact on our great safari experience.
We would book our next safari with Suricata again and would highly recommend Fredy as a guide!!

5 Great Days
We spent 5 days (4 nights) with Suricata Safaris. We slept in tents. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Maniara. Each of these places is different and it is worth seeing them all, raising your emotions accordingly.
Both of our guides were professionals in the truest sense of the word. Everyone was a little different, but that was very good, everyone contributed something different to the whole safari. I recommend both, Elias and Luis (Rastaman :)).
What distinguished our safaris from the others we encountered was eating together dishes prepared by the chef - Pius. We ate like a big family, on plates :), yes, the safari was not a box diet.
The technical condition of the cars was unquestionable.
I highly recommend: Suricata Safaris, Elias, Luis and Pius.

Unforgettable Safari
the safari was spectacular, our guide Amiri made the experience even more unforgettable thanks to his preparation but also his sympathy, we were able to see all the big five in less than a day of game driving and in the following days we saw them several times, all accommodations were beautiful, immersed in nature but equipped with all comforts, in another very positive note was the food: Always very good.
If you have to organize a safari, rely on Suricata Safaris because they are the best
