An incredible experience!
We booked a 5-day safari covering Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
We saw many animals up close. We managed to spot the "Big Five," including the elusive leopard.
The staff's service was outstanding. Pascal, our guide, was always focused on ensuring we enjoyed ourselves; he actively searched for animals and taught us about them. He explains things with passion and expertise, and we learned a lot from him. I appreciate how he constantly strove to show us as many animals as possible and patiently answered the endless questions we asked. I also want to highlight Lucas, who ensured we were as comfortable as possible at the camp every day. He is a fantastic chef, every meal was hearty and delicious.
I recommend spending at least two nights in the Serengeti to truly enjoy this vast park, as the drives between camps can be long. Also, if you choose to visit Tarangire, make sure it is the first stop on your itinerary.
I am incredibly grateful to Suricata!
A note on what to avoid: I do not recommend the Maasai village visit. Fortunately, our group skipped it after hearing unpleasant accounts from others who had gone; they told us the Maasai were only interested in asking for money and selling handicrafts at exorbitant prices.
Regarding the Jevas Hotel, where we stayed for two nights: the breakfast was very basic. One afternoon at the restaurant, we ordered coffee, and—after paying for it—we had to prepare it ourselves (yes, they simply gave us a thermos of hot water and a packet of instant coffee). It is a shame that the hotel falls short of expectations, as it reflects poorly on the service provided by Suricata.

Rastaman - Best of the Best!
I have already reviewed the actual safari from Suricata, which was an exceptional experience and earned 5 stars. But, what made this an over-the-top memorable safari for me was our guide Rastaman! I have been in the travel and tourism industry for many years so I have a lot of experience with tour operators and guides and have never met anyone like Rastaman. And how lucky for us that he was our guide! Yes, all the basics were seen to but Rasta made everything more special. He taught us about the wildlife, the native trees and plants, and the culture. We learned how to use certain plants for medicine, how the climate changes, and how the animals adapt to it, and how everything is related. I could go on and on. It was an amazing experience. So much more than simply driving around to see wildlife. He brought everything to life for us with genuine warmth, generosity, and kindness. He had me wanting to stay longer and then come back again for more. Any company would be lucky to employ Rastaman and I will be sure to follow him whenever I plan to return to Tanzania. Rastaman was an unexpected gift which added so much to an already wonderful life experience.

Unforgettable memories
We had a great experience with our driver, Lute. He was professional, friendly, reliable, and very helpful throughout our trip. He made us feel safe and comfortable on the road and was always happy to share his knowledge and answer our questions. We spotted all Big 5. We really appreciated his positive attitude and excellent service. Highly recommended

An incredible experience with excellent service.
We are so happy with how we were looked after by Suracati Safaris. We were well fed, stayed in fantastic lodgings and saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Would highly recommend them for your next safari tour!
