Amazing safari
We did the 3-day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. A huge thank you to our guide, Adam, who was so kind, knowledgeable, and an exceptional guide throughout the trip. The food was delicious thanks to chef Tito, and we had a wonderful stay. I can really recommend this safari experience.

Once in a lifetime experience, and Suricata Safaris was the perfect choice!
We can not express how amazing this safari was. We did a 4-day safari with camping. Everything went smoothly and was well organized. Our guide Melita was the best, and we learned so much with him. It felt like he knew every fun fact about the park and its animals. Even though it was the beginning of the rainy season, we managed to find all the animals (big 5 and ugly 5) and even more, thanks to his knowledge of the parks. Roads were hard to navigate but we always felt in safe hands with him driving. Our cook, Salim, cooked amazing lunch, dinner and breakfast every day and was also extremely sweet and helpful. We stayed at DikDik campsite, Simba Campsite and Twiga Lodge and I would recommend the camping for the most adventurous ones, it was a lot of fun. We met some great people that were with us on the tour as well and the vibe is overall friendly and fun. The parks are absolutely beautiful and I will recommend this experience to everyone back home.

Suricata was outstanding in both service and professionalism.
Our driver was Melita, who was amazing. His knowledge of the area and all of the animals were second to none. We saw all of the animals that we wanted to see, even the Rhino (saw 7 of them) on a 3-day tour.

Awesome game tour- thanks to Amiri
We had a 6d safari with stops in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The entire tour was phenomenal and one highlight followed the next. We saw the Big5 and much more….
Our guide and driver, Amiri, was amazing. I can recommend him to each and everyone….or in other words, no game drive without him. He would deserve a promotion.

Perfect 4-Day Safari with the Big Five and Great Migration
We had an amazing 4-day, 3-night safari experience. We saw all of the Big Five, the Great Migration, elephants up close, and even tigers. There were also so many baby animals, which made the trip even more special.
Going in April was a great choice for us. We had amazing weather, everything was so green, and there were far fewer cars than in the high season. Only in Tarangire it was a bit more difficult to spot cats, but we had already seen many before.
The entire group was so nice and easy-going, which made the experience even better.
Our guide, Steve Francis, was excellent. He was very patient, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. He spotted so many animals that we would never have seen ourselves and made sure we had the best experience possible.
Neema organised everything perfectly in advance and always responded very quickly to our questions, which made the whole process very easy.
The lodges were beautiful, and the food was very good, including great vegetarian options.
Two small improvements would be to provide an overview of the pick-up times by email in advance instead of waiting for the briefer who came to the hotel, and to send the list of things to bring a bit earlier.

Amazing Safari Experience with Suricata
Me and my family of four were welcomed at Arusha Airport and taken to Safari Homes. Our first impression of the place felt like a homecoming—small, cozy, and refreshing, complemented by delicious meals. The personnel were very friendly, and it truly felt like home.
Our safari began the next morning with our tour guide, Rasta Lewis—such a kind and genuine person. He answered even the simplest questions with eagerness and a warm smile.
Our tour plan was: Arusha → Tarangire National Park → Suricata Boma Lodge → Ngorongoro → Suricata Boma Lodge → Lake Manyara National Park → Arusha. Everything went smoothly.
I don’t even know where to begin with Boma Lodge. It was one of the best experiences of my life—amazing hosts, incredible food, breathtaking sunset views, a pool, a gym, and above all, the best rooms.

I highly recommend this company.
Everything was amazing. I did not expect much from the safari since it’s low season but it turned out great! Saw the big 5 and more! Luther, our guide, was very professional and did his job very very well. He was calm and collected all throughout the tour. Driving skills on point. The services from all the lodges and bush camp we had was excellent. Food, for me, was delicious. Lunch consisted of local food and so if you’re not too adventurous with food, bring some snacks with you. For me, the taste was good and the food was filling. I would definitely recommend Suricata company to my friends and family.

Unique experience!
We would like to sincerely thank the entire Suricata Team for an absolutely unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations in every possible way!
A very special thank‑you goes to Edward, who planned our safari. His extremely thoughtful, flexible, and reliable planning made everything feel effortless and perfectly tailored to our needs. We felt in the very best hands from the very first contact.
Our deepest appreciation also goes to Amiri, our safari guide. His incredible experience, deep knowledge, and calm confidence, combined with a wonderfully warm and friendly personality, created an atmosphere we will always remember. Traveling with him was not only fascinating, but truly joyful.
The entire experience—from the initial planning through the final day—was flawless. Absolutely recommendable in every way. It was an experience of a lifetime, and we would choose you again without hesitation.
We are already looking forward to coming back for our Kilimanjaro climb—without question, it will be with you again.
Thank you for everything. We will remember this safari forever.
