Excellent Safari and great support!
Suricata has the most wonderful staff & owner. My experience with them was nothing but great in every aspect and they even helped me sort out some banking issues which clearly exceeded their regular work! Thanks to their help i could return back home safe

Amazing private camping safari with Suricata Safaris
We had a unique private 7-day safari with Suricata Safaris.
The organization from booking to the end was perfect and we felt super taken care of at all times - we would therefore recommend Suricata to anyone.
Every day was always very exciting and we would always spend 3 days in the Serengeti. Due to the expertise of our guide, we had unforgettable moments with numerous animals. Not only did we see all the Big Five, but we also had many great and very private observations even off the beaten tracks.
In addition, the incredibly good and authentic food made with love is to be mentioned. Every day we always got freshly cooked meals from our chef - and no lunch boxes, as with many other providers.
All the camping equipment and the vehicle are in super condition.
We will definitely come back!

Helpful, friendly and a fair price
I went on a 4 days Safari trip with three friends and it was amazing. We saw a lot of different animals. The guide was friendly and could answer all of our questions about the animals. The food was really good and homemade.
It was easy to get in touch with the company and they were very helpful with accommodation (which is included) and with transfer to and from the airport.

Excellent
We chose Suricata Safari because of the fair pricing and the clear communication with Hillary, who arranged it, and we were not dissapointed! The game viewing was amazing - we saw everything we could have hoped for, including the big 5, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos and flamingos. Our guide was very pleasant (super important when you spend so much time together!) and he worked hard for us to see as many animals as possible. He had an excellent knowledge of the animals and plants, and the more we asked the more he told us. Both Hillary and our guide listened to our wishes and feedback to make it a good experience.
Remember to bring snacks - at least if you have a tendency to get hungry fast. All the meals are provided, but there can be a while in between.
Also, there was a little waiting time, but we chose a group safari to fit our budget, so this was to be expected.
All in all, the whole experience exceeded our expectations, and we can highly recommend going with Suricata!

Great experience!
We were 2 girls on a 5 days group safari. Price was good, and our guide was really nice and the more we asked the more he told us. We had really good game drives and saw all the animals we could hope for!

It was the best tour ever !!
The safari was amazing. We saw the beautiful landscapes of the Serengeti und the Ngorongoro crater as well as a lot of wild animals (amongst those the big 5).
The trip was well organized and the guides were super nice and professional. Also, the food was among the best we’ve had during our time in Tanzania.
All in all it was a perfect five star experience!

Amazing safari
A great experience. From the moment of hiring, they explain everything very well and give you the option to pay practically the total amount upon arrival. Once on the safari everything was great, from the guide who was very nice and made your stay enjoyable to the cook, who has nade us eat better than at home. We have seen all kinds of animals, more than we expected to see, thanks to the guide since he saw them the first time. Highly recommended.

Professionals and know how take care about us in the mountain
I'm a 27 years old girl who was for 6 days in a expedition with Suricata Safaris. It was one of the best experience I have ever had. The crew of suricatas was amazing, they took care about us every second of the day. Our guides (Fredy Ngogo and Alex Kilembu) know about the mountain, the history of kilimanjaro, the nature, the security, about alpinism and they were really atent at us, and at our needs. They know how to made to feel us confortable. I think in that tipe of expeditions being aware of the sintoms of altitud is really important, and they know how to do it, they know how to acclimataise well and prevent the real problems that altitud can cause. We summit the top of kilimanjaro, without need of pills, feeling good, with their indications and their advise. We did it by the way of machame route but they know all the routes that summit kilimanjaro. They were really professionals and amazing!!!
The porters (Emmanuel Midimi, Gasto Ngogo, Emily Swai, Martin, Happygood Jeremia, Elia Chacha, Mohammed Athuman) were also incredible, they were taking care about our things every moment, they made us feel like a mamber of a family, those guys were really strong and lovely with us.
The food was like if your mum were cooking, every day we ate different tipes of food, we'r really thankfull on the cook, Watson Matayo, who was making sure we had enought energy to climb! And we couldn't forget Riziki Tarimo our waiter, who made easy to get up every morning. I feel really thankfull about him. If I had to choose, I would choose them for sure again, 100%, because I couldn't found a best team in Tanzania. Hakuna matata and pole pole.
