Reviews
Highly recommend Suricata Safaris!They provide exceptional service.You wont regret booking with them
Me and my partner just finished a 4 day budget camping safari with Suricata Safaris (July 2025).
I think this may have been the best trip I have ever been on. I loved everything about it. Our driver (Amiri) was amazing 👏, he was very knowledgeable and got us so close to all the animals. He has the best eye for spotting the animals, without the need for Binoculars, I dont know how he does it! He knew exactly the best spots to go to, to have the best views of the animals and he made sure we got the see the Big 5, amongst many many other animals. Amiri and his colleages kept in touch during the safari and they shared information regarding the wherabouts of animals which was great for us , as we were able to locate all the animals we wanted to see. Amiri was also great fun and kept us entertained during the trip. It was obvious he is well respected with his peers. I wholeheartedly recommend Suricata tours (plus Amiri). The big cats were my favourite, its a tough choice between the Lions; and the Leopard we seen climbing a tree (and back down again). We were in a jeep with 4 other clients, this was so enjoyable! For me, this was better than a private safari as got to meet other people from different parts of the world who all equally enjoyed the experience.
The food during the trip needs a special mention, Salem the chef made fabulous meals for everyone. The food was sooooo good! Hard to believe considering we were at campsites, I don't know how they did it (Salem and colleagues) but the meals they made were so tasty (plus would cater for vegetarians very easily and they even made separate foods for clients who were coeliac). The food during the safari was better than the food at the hotel I stayed at after the safari. There was always plenty of food available so you never went hungry.
The tents at the campsites were already made for us when we arrived with sleeping bags and a mattress to lie on top of. We also had pillows on 2 out of the 3 nights. The campsite had some animal visitors on day 2 and 3 which only added to the experience! Truly a trip i will never forget. Would love to do it again in the future. 😊🐆🐅🫎🦓🦏🐘🦒🦁🦧🦜🐊

What an amazing experience!!!
Everything was spectacular from start to finish! The experience was incredible, and the entire Suricata team was impeccable in every way, from the first contact to the last. Our guide, Felix, was wonderful throughout the entire tour. He showed great knowledge of the parks and the animals we encountered. It was truly amazing! I recommend this experience to everyone. If I did it again, I would stay longer 😁

Excellent dream experience (Thanks Alphonce)!
Excellent overall experience with the Suricata team (Daniel, Golden, and Alphonce)! Recommended 120%!
Alphonce gifted us a unique safari experience! He has been a wonderful travel friend, in addition to an excellent and fun guide (and him being also a wildlife photographer, adds quality to the safari experience)!
I feel extremely lucky for such a meeting and the opportunity to share every safari moment with him, also as a "skipper"! 😉And we met all The Big Five!
Something that stroke me immediately about Alphonce is his deep connection with the world, both nature and its creatures - including people.
He has a great and friendly energy, is so knowledgeable, passionate, and professional yet so humble, paying so much attention to every signal and detail coming from the surrounndig, conveying many interesting information and important preservation messages! 🤩
Alphonce reminds me a lot about the lions we met! An improved version, though, more friendly and less dominating, same pride, confidence, and leadership! 😊
Thanks a lot, Alphonce! I will bring the beautiful safari experience and memories with me forever!

Good organization and very competent and kind driver
As a long-time regular on safari in Kenya, I can say that I had the chance to live a wonderful experience with Suricata in Tanzania, with a truly exceptional moment: a leopard in the prime of life passing just a few steps away from us, on the ground... simply magical !
This first safari in Tanzania made me thirsty for a second...
Thank à lot to Adamu, our driver !

The correct choice
Overall, it was an amazing experience. Everything was very well organized and the whole tour run smoothly. While the all lodges were very good one, the lunches were also very tasty. The tour guide, Damian was very experienced one and made the whole tour perfect for us.

Awesome experience
It was an awesome experience doing the Safari with Suricata team. We had an amazing group from different countries and created a great connection. Our driver Ameri was funny, very experienced and had like “eagle eyes” to see all the animals. The food made by the chef Salim was also delicious every day. Super recommended

It was an incredible experience.
I wasn't expecting much, but everything was great: delicious food, camping and a tent to sleep in, and a car with a phone charging outlet. Special mention goes to our guide, Ameri, who was a great and attentive guy throughout the safari, and we got to see the animals up close. I recommend it to everyone.

Nice people who work for them
It was a very fun experience. I recommend everyone to use this company if you are considering a safari. The best guide in the world, both helpful, kind, smart and funny. The chef made very good food and adapted the food to allergies. We saw all the "big five", in addition to many more animals such as cheetah, leopard, giraffe, many different antelopes, etc. We orden through tripadvisor and there should have been better information regarding the last camp which is over 2000 meters high and is around 10 degrees. Pack warm clothes! otherwise it's 10/10!!!!
