Unforgettable experience!
We absolutely loved our safari — it was an unforgettable experience with so many incredible animal sightings! The accommodation exceeded our expectations, and everything was organized perfectly from start to finish. Our guide, Antone, was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Amazing Tour and awesome Guide
We had an amazing experience on this safari! We saw so many different types of animals (All Big 5) right from the start, and most of these were so close to the car we had a great view. Our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we put to him. Allthough he was funny, allways happy und he cared well for US. The food and camping facilities were all great and better than expected. Chef Samson made sure we were always well fed with great food.
Only the communication was not good. The pick-up from the airport was not good organized. On the third day of our tour the Guide has to go back to Arusha, because one person of our group has booked the 3 - Days -Tour and he has to return to Arusha. So we had on the last day another Guide (Gordon). He was very good and had lots of knowledge.
Highly recommended!

Unforgettable experience with the best company
We had the most unforgettable and once in a lifetime experience with Suricata Safaris. We were well looked after from the moment we booked until we were dropped back at the airport.
We very much appreciated being transferred to and from the airport and having accommodation for the night before and the night after the safari, all arranged by the company.
The food was incredible and we were provided with a hot meal every day at lunch. All accommodations were comfortable with very friendly staff and provided the opportunity to learn more of their culture and we especially enjoyed our 2 nights in the Boma Lodge - the height of luxury.
Our guide, Luther, was incredible and made our experience all the better. He was patient and very knowledgable but the most important thing was that he was extremely respectful of all the animals, their space and environment.
We cannot thank Suricata Safaris enough for providing us with such comfort, opportunities to experience all we could and to gain so much knowledge. We recommend Suricata safaris to everyone and would definitely book with them again.

-- Amazing tour with an amazing guide and tasty traditional meals. Absolutely would recommend
Where to begin! Our guide Shabani was incredible right from the start. He was very informative, telling us stories and information along the way to the national parks and throughout the safari. He tried his best to help us see the big 5 and many other animals(we managed 4/5). He always managed to get in the best position for us to see the action even when we were surrounded by jeeps. He also amended the tour slightly at our request so we could see the Masai Village. The tour came with all inclusive meals, our chef Tito was amazing, whipping up some very tasty traditional meals for us for lunch and dinner and accommodating my food allergy at all meals too. Other tour groups just got a pack up western lunch so l was over the moon with our feast. The campsites we stayed in as part of the tour were as expected. But a nice treat was the campsite in Norongoro Crater which had zebra and giraffes roaming through. What a surreal experience. 10/10 for team suricata, thank you

Amazing experience
The best experience has been with Suricata Safaris. The planning, the people, the food, and their organization are incredible. We were able to see and spot the Big Five. The authenticity of the people and the kindness of the staff made every minute worthwhile. I definitely want to return, and I will do it with them again.
The meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—were outstanding. Everything was freshly prepared (not lunch boxes) by two special chefs, Salim and Gordi, who packed and prepared the food every morning. The menu changed daily, always including protein, carbohydrates, and salad, along with a variety of drinks and unlimited water during the journey.
Our guide, Lewis, was friendly, patient, and very sociable. He answered all our questions and explained everything to us as we traveled day by day.
The camping sites varied depending on the safari location. Each one included tents, mattresses, pillows, and sleeping bags. The camps had toilets and showers just a few meters away from the tents. These camps were outdoors, and you could see and hear wild animals at night. It is important to remember that towels, body soap, and toilet paper are not included.
The hotel in Arusha where we stayed (Safari Homes) was incredible—organized, clean, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and very helpful! I want to thank Hussein, Henry, Nancy, and Chef Bryan—they are amazing people!
The hotel itself is simply minimalist, absolutely beautiful, and very peaceful since it is away from the noise of Arusha. Everything is brand new, with pleasant spaces to sit and relax before and after the safari.

Exceptional 5 day Safari - Exceeded my expectations
surrounded by the sounds of nature and waking up to see the sunrise on the plains was an unforgettable experience.

Amazing Experience
We had an amazing 5 day safari going round the different national parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Our guide, Melita, was amazing, driving us around and doing his best to show us all the animals that were visible at the parks and providing facts and informations about these animals. He was also very friendly and catered to any needs that we had during these 5 days.
The food was also great at all the accomodations that we stayed and even the lunch that we had during the safari game drives was very good.
Also, the accomodations themselves were amazing. We chose the mid-tier option and they were truly great especially the Suricata Boma Lodge which had everything you could hope for.
It was an unforgettable experience thanks to Melita and Suricata Safaris and should we decide to do this again another time, I would definitely choose them again.
