Our guide Gerald was amazing, he found all the best spots and angles for our shots! We seen so many amazing sights and he made our once in a lifetime experience even better! It was perfect and he gave us so much information on all the animals, the history of the area’s we visited and the local tribes! I would highly recommend this tour guide company!

One of the best experiences of my life
I didn’t see the great migration but I had a great trip. Gerald was super experienced and it showed with every stop and every place where we could see the animals. He was accommodating in every way and watched over us. This was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on.

Amazing places and amazing guide
We have just finished our 6-day safari visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Overall, it was an incredible experience, but there were a few downsides (which is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5):
- Sunrise and sunset game drives: During our 6 days of safari with Suricata, we didn't do a single sunrise game drive and only one sunset game drive. It's well known that animals are generally more active around sunrise and sunset. However, there were times when we were driving around the Serengeti at 4 p.m. without seeing much wildlife. I think this is a significant downside, and it would be much better if the company could guarantee game drives during both sunrise and sunset.
- Mixing different accommodation categories: They put guests staying at budget campsites together in the same jeep as those staying at mid-range accommodation. This means that everyone has different drop-off and pick-up locations. As a result, one group often has to wait for the other before starting the game drive, or vice versa. This is really frustrating because you end up wasting valuable time that could otherwise be spent sleeping, exploring the parks or actually enjoying the safari.
- Guide and communication: Our guide was absolutely fantastic when it came to spotting wildlife. He had incredible eyesight, like an eagle! However, we would have appreciated a bit more information and explanation throughout the trip. For example, a daily briefing before each safari and a more detailed explanation of the following day's schedule would have made the overall experience even better.

Everything was well organised. They guides were also the drivers. The safari was excellent
I went as a solotravellar on the midrange 5 days safari in the beginning of November. With 2 days in the Serengeti wich was stunning. Ngorogoro was rich with animals and beautiful nature. I am now staying at lake Manyara with has de best sundown. Tomorrow I am of to Tarangiri. The wheater was excellent. Because there were some short rainfalls. There was some new grass growing on the Serengeti with attracted the grazers and other animals followed. There was plenty to see. The guides went out of there way to spot the wildlife besides the big 5 the cheetas and leopatds were my favourites. The midrange accomondations felt like pure luxury. Everyone was very friendly. I had to switch groups 3 times, because of the low season. But I enjoyed it very much. Special Asanti to the guides Isaac and Amari and chef Lucas who made the best meals. I highly recommend it.

Best trip of all time
We booked a 5-day safari with Suricata, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! We were picked up directly from the airport, and everything was smooth and well organised. Our driver was highly experienced and knew exactly where to find the wildlife. We saw an incredible variety of animals and stayed in some excellent accommodations. We chose the mid-range package, but honestly, the experience felt like luxury!
A special shout-out to Jordan, our amazing guide and driver! He speaks three languages, knows the safari inside out, and went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Thanks to his knowledge and experience, we managed to see all of the Big Five in just ONE DAY!
I honestly cannot recommend Suricata enough. If you're looking for an authentic, unforgettable African safari experience, look no further. Suricata is the way to go!

Very well organized and good communication
Our safari trip with suricata was just amazing. Everybody stays away from early November due to the chance of rain, but we and some of the locals think it's the perfect time, so don't worry or wait for dry season. All the animals, still great weather and by far not as many cars or touri. We went to Serengeti, ngorogoro and will go to tarangire tomorrow. Its just been breathtakingly beautiful and our driver Jordan was the best. He has the perfect attitude for the job, a lot of knowledge and can get you to all the best spots and let's you get all the Fotos you're hoping for. For sure a 10/10.

Great safari journey with Jordan
We just had a amazing experience with Suricata Safaris. Everything was really well organised from the beginning, we can get all the informations we need to get ready for the journey. And the 3 day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was amazing ! Jordan was the best guide, taking time to show us and to explain us everything. He knows the area perfectly, we were able to see so many animals : thank you again Jordan ! Also I would highly recommand the camping : the experience is once of a lifetime and we got to eat delicious fresh food for every meal. Everything was prefect, I will remember this journey and I highly recommend Suricata Safaris.
