Perfection in details
I must say, much before my tour even started Suricata was on top of thier game. They responded to every query and every doubt I had very diligently. Special mention to M/s. Glory John who was always eager to clarify any doubts and queries I had.
From the time I landed at the airport till they dropped me back to the airport, Suricata staff took care of every little details. The hotels and food were very good. Guides were very experienced. They were excellent and patient.
Overall my experience with Suricata was marvelous. The safari itself was a great adventure.

10/10 Experience
Wow where to begin, Suricata Safaris were amazing. We made contact with Suricata through safari bookings and from start to finish they were excellent.
We were in contact with Davis who organised and communicated everything to us regarding our booking and making a few extra little requests happen. When we arrived in Tanzania we were greeted at the airport for our transfer which took about an hour to our hotel, booked as part of our safari at the beginning and the end. The hotel was ok nothing special but we were greeted that afternoon by Daniel who gave us a briefing regarding the next few days on safari.
The next day we met our guide Amiri, he was so very kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge and animal spotting during the safari was great and he was a really great person to enjoy the trip with. Very good driver I couldn't believe he never got tired but yes Amiri was great. We also had Tito the camp chef. He was great fun and so hard working. Always cooking and helping us set up tents and take them down.
The drive through the National Parks were incredible and made more so by Amiri and Suricata Safaris and the accomodation that we had been booked into by Suricata was awesome. We had such a good time at all the camps.
When we got back to the hotel we were greeted by Daniel again who arranged a city trip for us the following day. Kevin picked us up and we were greeted with a driver and he showed us the sights of Arusha, the cultural arts centre was a must, I could have spent hours there in the art gallery. We also went round a market which was very interesting the food was incredible to see. All in all I couldn't recommend Suricata Safaris highly enough. The experience was made all the more for their help, assistance and guidance through the whole trip. Transfers to and from the airport were great to as was the extra tour around Arusha. Would definitely recommend.

Felt like I was in a nature documentary
My partner and I had the time of our lives on the 3-day Serengeti & Ngorogoro safari! We saw cheetahs chasing a jackal, lion cubs waiting for mum to hunt and bring food, hippos play-fighting, all kinds of herbivores co-existing, beautiful sunsets, elephants walk right next to us... the list goes on and on. I had goosebumps from the sheer excitement of the views—it's really like a nature documentary come to life.
Adam (guide) and Pius (chef) were absolutely lovely. They happily answered all of our questions and fed our curiosities... couldn't have asked for better.
Highly recommend! If we ever come back to visit Tanzania for a safari, we would chose Suricata again.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
This was one of those experiences I'll remember for the rest of my life. My parents joined me in Tanzania for this incredible trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better company. Our tour manager, Daniel, was lovely and very clear, and our guide Alfonse was absolutely brilliant. He's a total pro with an incredible passion for animals.
About the tour: WE SAW EVERYTHING. The Big 5 (elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, and even the elusive black rhino), plus zebras, giraffes, baboons, hippos, plenty of impalas and gazelles, cheetas, flamingos, pelicans... you name it.
Our accomodations inside Serengeti and Ngorongoro were fantastic. I was impressed with the wifi, toilet, and showers. All very professional. And the food was also very good.
10/10 experience. Will recommend Suricata Safaris to everyone!

Excellent experience, with high professionalism!
We had a beautiful 4-day safari with Suricata and couldn’t have been happier with how everything was organized. From the moment we arrived, Mr. T (Twalbu) gave us the warmest welcome and made us feel right at home. Everyone from the team was extremely friendly, helpful and always in a good mood.
Mr. T was always available for anything we needed — whether it was related to the safari or just small things along the way.
Our guide Lewis was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable — we came prepared with a lot of questions, but he had detailed answers for everything without exception. It was impressive how much he knew about the wildlife, the parks and the local culture. Thanks to him, we learned so much and had so many unforgettable moments.
The accommodations were also very good, especially the first night at Suricata Boma Lodge — it was even better than we expected.
If there’s one thing we would change, it’s that we only booked 4 days. Next time we would definitely go for at least 5 days and ideally 7 days to have more time in the Serengeti and maybe even witness the famous river crossings.
Thank you so much to the whole Suricata team — we’ll definitely be back!
