Our Tour Guide Filex was great! Very kind person with huge knowledge. No question was left unanswere
The Safari Trip was awesome! First of all, the communication before was easy and kindly.
Then the trip itself. Wow. So many different animals to see and beautiful nature. Safari and wilderness as you would expect from Nat Geo Wild. Amazing.
We had the trip a together with 4 other guys. Everyone was very kind and we had a nice time together.
Especially I want to praise our Tour Guide Filex from Suricata Safaris. Such a kind person. He explained us so many things about the National Parks, animals and the Massai People. So no question was left unanswered. And the food during the trip was very good as well.
So we want to recommend this Safari Trip with Suricata Safaris!

Meleta was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful
This safari was exciting, safe, and enjoyable. Our safari guide Meleta was knowledgeable and very friendly. He made the experience unforgettable. There were some miscommunications along the way which were managed effectively. With an open mind and curious mentality, you will have a great experience, no matter which species you meet along the way.

Wouldn’t change a thing
Couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Everything was super easy. Transfer from the bus station in Arusha to the hotel, where we were met by Mr T who outlined what was going to happen over the next few days, allowed loads of time for questions. The safari truck was very comfy with a fridge and charging sockets. We spent 1 day in Tarangire National park, 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro, camping in each. The campsites were great, the tents were all set up when we arrived. Each campsite also had toilets and showers. Our guide, Lewis, was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He definitely made sure we had a great trip. The food throughout the trip was also great. James, the chef, cooked a wide variety and it was amazing to have a hot meal in the middle of each national park!
Overall we had a great trip and wouldn’t change a thing.

Excellent
We had a great time seeing loads of animals. From arriving in Arusha to leaving everything has been so easy.
Our guide Lewis was excellent, knowledgeable about the animals as well as cultural and geological history. James our cook did wonders providing plenty of food. Water was no issue.
We felt safe at all the camps which were lovely, especially in the Serengeti.
There was no mention of going to any of the tourist traps that are so common.
Fully recommend.

They do everything to give you the whole safari experience you want
We booked the 5-day camping safari with Suricata Safari and it truly exceeded all expectations! Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Lake Manyara – each park offering something unique and breathtaking. We saw an incredible variety of animals, including 4 of the Big Five – absolutely unforgettable!
A huge thank you to our guide Damien, who impressed us with his experience, knowledge, and eye for spotting wildlife. His passion made the trip even more special. Also, a big shoutout to Salim and his kitchen team – the meals were delicious and always prepared with care.
All in all, these were fantastic days full of unforgettable landscapes, wildlife sightings, and smooth organization. Highly recommended!

An amazing team. A big thank you to all and especially Freddy 🫶
An incredible experience from the first pick up at the airport to the way back.
We visited the 3 parks and we were lucky to see lots of animals and especially the big five.
The landscapes, the views, the camps and the hospitality of all staff was amazing.
But the most amazing part was our guide Freddy from Suricata Safaris. Such a nice person, with a very thorough knowledge of the fauna and flora that he shared with all us with passion. Always available to answer all our questions on everything. Moreover, he is very respectful of the places we visited and also of the animals, he managed to let us see everything but always by not interfering in the life of the parks and animals. We deeply recommend him.
A very nice thing as well were the meals. We were travelling with kids and everything was delicious. Moreover the picnics with real glasses and plates. We really appreciated that.
Thanks a lot to Freddy and Suricata Safaris for their kindness and professionalism

5 Day Great Safari - Surreal Experience!
We booked a 5-day group Great Safari which was an incredible experience! We saw the big 5 animals in 1 day. Our itinerary included Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Our guide, Melita, has in depth knowledge of all the animals, parks, and the Maasai people. He navigated the drive really well. I am so glad he was our guide!! My only feedback is for improved communication with the briefer. Our itinerary was changed and we weren’t informed until the night prior. I also had difficulty reaching our briefer after the Safari to arrange transfers but all was arranged appropriately in the end. The tour was all inclusive with transfers, food, water, and lodging. All of the lodging were very beautiful, accommodated different dietary restrictions, and were in scenic places in the parks. The exception is the SG resort in Arusha which unfortunately had outdated and unclean rooms for one of our nights. Overall, I recommend this operator for your journey!

Extremely professional, ensuring an outstanding experience.
We went on the mid-range 4 day group Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our 4 Day Safari was everything that we hoped for when we booked it. Frederick, our guide, was the absolute best! Not only is he a great driver and knows how to position the car for great photos, but he is incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the environment and the history of the area. This meant that we learned a lot on our Safari and that helped to make it such a memorable experience. I highly recommend requesting Frederick when you book your Safari, you will not be disappointed and we would love him to guide us again! The camps we stayed at were fantastic - you feel immersed in the wild, but also safe and comfortable. Suricata lodge is outstanding and was the perfect place to spend our last night. Everything ran smoothly, including the airport transfers eventhough our flight was delayed. We would absolutely use Suricata again, and don’t forget to ask for Frederick!
