A highly professional tour operator that delivers memorable experiences with passionate guides and e
Overall, everything was perfect and the experience exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and professional, and the visit was very enjoyable from start to finish.
The only area that could be improved is the communication before departure. A little more information and clearer updates for customers ahead of time would make the experience even smoother and more reassuring.
A special mention goes to the guide, Félix, who was simply incredible. Passionate, knowledgeable, attentive, and always in a good mood, he made the experience truly memorable. His enthusiasm, explanations, and care for the group added tremendous value to the tour and made the whole day even more enjoyable.
Apart from that small point regarding pre-departure communication, everything was very well organized and I would highly recommend this tour.

A Dream We Will Never Forget
Suricata Safaris turned what felt like an intimidating dream into one of the most beautiful, safe, and unforgettable experiences our family has ever lived.
We traveled to Tanzania as a family with children, and like many first-time travelers to Africa, we had questions, excitement, and honestly, some fears. From the very beginning, Suricata Safaris made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.
Our guide and driver, Damian, made this trip extraordinary. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly attentive to our daughters. He understood when to stop, where to look, how to make the experience magical, and somehow always seemed to know what would make the day even more special. He became much more than a guide during this trip.
We are deeply grateful and already dreaming of coming back.
Asante sana, Suricata Safaris.

The cook was excellent and the guide was great as well 👏
However, the first campsite left a bit to be desired in some aspects.
Other than that, everything was impeccable and it was a very positive experience 😊

Melita the best coffee in Brazil
We did the 3-day mid-range safari option in Tanzania and had an amazing experience overall. We saw incredible wildlife and some truly beautiful animals in their natural habitat.
Our driver, Melita, was a man of few words, but he was always happy to answer our questions and explain what we were seeing. What impressed us the most was his ability to get us very close to some of the animals, which made the experience unforgettable.
We would also like to give special recognition to Chef Luca, who prepared wonderful meals throughout our trip. The food consistently exceeded our expectations and was an important part of making the experience so enjoyable.
Among the lodges we stayed at, Tanzania Bush Camp was by far the highlight. Staying in the middle of the Serengeti was an immersive and unique experience that we will always remember.
The only downside was our second night at Bougainville Lodge. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in our room, and the window would not close properly. These were not major issues, but since we paid extra specifically to have a private room with hot water, it was disappointing. In addition, the lodge is quite far from the reserve, which meant extra driving time.
Despite this inconvenience, the safari itself was fantastic, and we would highly recommend it for the incredible wildlife sightings, the excellent food, and the unforgettable Serengeti experience.
The best trip of our lives 🇹🇿
Our 5 day safari was the best experience of our lives! Everything was perfectly organized, the crowd size was the ideal, and our guide, Amiri, was amazing. He explained so much about the animals and always knew where to find them.
The highlight was witnessing a real hunt in the wild and the big five. We also saw an incredible variety of wildlife and learned so much throughout the trip.
I would 100% recommend this safari. It was truly unforgettable and a memory we will cherish forever! 🦁🐘🦒🦏🐆
Amazing experience, fully recomendable for my friends and family
The safari met all our expectations.
We are very happy with the experience and with the staff, specially with Amiri who was our guide during our stay. He showed great experience, he created a great atmosphere and drove us to unforgettable places to see the wild animals from very close.
I would recommend this safari to my friends and family without any doubt. For the next time I have learnt that I would increase the length of the visit :D the 5 days passed super fast.

Great :)
Had a great experience from beginning to end. The pickup transfer was there as soon as we left the airport and took us to a lovely hotel called Safari Homes (this is in the hills outside of Arusha so make sure you have everything you need ready for the safari before you get there). This hotel was very comfortable and we had a great first Tanzanian dinner for a good price. The next day we started the safari in Tarangire with 2 other people who stayed with us just for the day, and then we were dropped off at a comfortable campsite for the night. This isn't wild camping, so there is no view, but it's a good introduction to what the next 2 nights will be like, and there is a shop and swimming pool available. The next day we met up with 4 other people and then the 6 of us plus our guide Charles and the chef began the Serengeti and Ngongorongo safari for the next 2 days - thanks to Charles we saw the big 10 and more! Some animals were really close to the jeep, such as lions, a cheetah, elephants, zebras, gnus... Camping in the Serengeti and Ngongorongo is right inside the parks, which is amazing. The campsite in Serengeti is very rustic with cold showers and no WiFi but it's part of the adventure! Ngongorongo is a colder climate area so pack layers! But the showers are hot there. On the last day we had the option to visit a local Maasai village for $15, one of us stayed in the car while the rest did the visit.
The whole experience was fantastic and a great adventure. The tents are comfortable and very spacious. The food was good at every meal and my vegan friend was able to eat lots of food. The jeep is very comfortable with good cushioned seats and lots of pockets to leave your stuff. Water was always available.
