It was definitely amazing and incredible!
We took a 5‑day safari, and everything was great. It’s worth noting the attentiveness and care of each employee: when planning, the manager answered all our questions [organizational, medical, etc.], helped us choose convenient flights, and was there when our flight was rescheduled and our entire schedule was moved — we didn’t know where or when we would arrive, and even on a day off, the manager was still in touch, adjusted the transfer schedule so that we were met and everything went smoothly. Our guide, Jordan, was really great! He told us interesting stories, showed us the best spots for photos, and took care of our well‑being. I got sick during the safari and couldn’t go on the hot‑air balloon ride; thanks to Jordan, we got almost the entire booking fee refunded! In short, we were taken care of at every stage, so the safari was safe and comfortable — everyone was fed and satisfied!
Jordan was the best guide could ask for.
Our guide, Jordan, knew exactly where to go to see the animals from the best vantage points! Thanks to him, we saw all the animals up close (including rare ones). He looked after everyone's needs in the group, balancing stops, meal times, and driving time, and was incredibly patient. Overall, the trip was well-organized in every respect: the vehicle was comfortable (with power outlets for charging phones), there was always plenty of water and juice available, and there was ample food for every meal; the accommodations were decent (basic, but adequate). In short, it was an excellent way to experience this adventure! He shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals, national parks, nature, and more. His English was excellent!

Amazing Tour Guide!
My experiance with Suricata Safaris has been nothing less than FANTASTIC AND AMAZING! Our tour guides name was Elias, who was so knowledgeable about all the animals and plants, he is really friendly and easy to speak to. One thing that stood out the most about him was that he respected the animals, he kept his fair distance from them when they were moving about or trying to cross infront of us, other companies drivers would literally harrass the animals just so their clients could get a good photo which was awful to witness. Elias was superb!! IF you could choose your guide I would recommend him 100% no doubt about it! Thank you so much Elias and Suricata for the experiance, I will never forget what I have seen, heard and felt during my time on safari. Thank you.

Elias was brilliant - he made our trip amazing!
We booked our trip via a UK based travel agent, not knowing who was going to be providing the safari. We are so grateful that it was Suricata and that Elias was our guide - he really made the trip special. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and has a great love and respect for nature. We saw everything we wanted to and more, so close up, and Elias never once disrupted the animals like many other companies/guides were. He has the upmost respect for nature. He was patient and spotted things that other jeeps seemed to miss and drive past. He has such a great knowledge of the areas visited and ensured that we got the most out of our 7 day safari. His knowledge wasn't only wildlife related, but we learnt so much about Tanzania and its culture from him aswell.
The food at the camps and for our hot lunches were great and Elias provided plates, cutlery and cups for us to eat from during our game drives. This is another thing we are grateful for as many others seemed to have boxed packed lunches.
The accommodations were all clean and comfortable, with walkie-talkies provided in all of the tented camps for safety.
I would 100% reccomended booking a trip with Suricata and hope that Elias is your guide!

Damien was friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and incredible at what he does!
Can’t recommend this company enough! I would also highly recommend DAMIEN as a guide.
We did a 4 day camping safari and learned from others that it really makes a difference to your experience who your guide is!
Everything ran smoothly and efficiently with this company. You do have to go with the flow when it comes to safari as schedules can change and it’s a long day to spend driving in a car however Damien made the whole experience so enjoyable. He created a fun but calm atmosphere and you could tell he was genuinely passionate about the animals and giving us a good experience. He was an incredibly smooth driver and great at getting the good spots which makes all the difference.
Camping set up on safari is simple but has everything you need and is so cool to camp out in the wild with animals and spending time with other groups round the camp fire.
We had breakfast, lunch and dinner provided with water throughout the day and both alcoholic and soft drinks in the evening. Food was delicious! A mix of traditional and western. We had chef Jeremiah with our group throughout the trip who was excellent, friendly, and even made us pizza one night!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Jesse, Chaz and Pasco were very attentive and accommodating, and they were happy to cater to my phot
Three very different cars, so there was something for everyone. Chaz shared a lot of background knowledge and taught us so much. Pasco always took our photography requests into consideration. And Jesse was the one for adventurous drives and plenty of action.

Well organised and friendly guides!
We had a great experience with Suricara Safaris. It was well organised, the food was yummy and the guides Jesse, Chaz and Pasco were all really nice and showed us the best spots. We saw all the animals and it was simply overwhelming!
The streets are quite bad in Serengeti so a tyre change is nothing special, get ready for some really bumpy roads and an adventureous car drive!
