Our safari dream came true
We put this 8-day private trip together with Suricata over a fair bit of back-and-forth by email, and they were patient with all of it. Both the office and our guide were genuinely flexible with what we wanted along the way. The route took us through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, central and northern Serengeti - since it was migration season and we wanted to catch the highlights - and finished in Ngorongoro. We mostly followed Damian’s advice on where and when to go, and it paid off - elephants, lions, giraffes, the wildebeest crossings, all of it. We ended up seeing everything we’d hoped for. Truly an incredible experience

8 days, 4 parks, one excellent guide - Damian went above and beyond
Good experience overall. We did an 8-day private safari across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, central and northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the office was genuinely responsive over email whenever we had questions or wanted to adjust the plan. Our guide Damian was the highlight - helpful, calm and very good at finding wildlife. Between the parks we saw pretty much everything we’d hoped for, from big cats and rhinos to a great variety of birds and the migration herds

The trip was amazing
The trip was very nice and our tourguide Pascal showed us the best places. We saw a lot of animals in the different parks. The scenery was amazing.

You get a great value for the money and they try their best to make it as comfortable as possible.
We were with Pascal for the first two days and we had a lot of beautiful sightings.
The lodge we stayed at was nice. The food, the service and the location was as you wish it to be. The barbecue was the highlight at the dinner.
Pascal always got the best spots for us to get a nice view over everything (landscapes and nature).
Having a huge elephant twice next to you was a unbelievable experience.

Unforgettable Safari with Pascal
We had the most amazing time with Suircata Safari especially with our guide Pascal.
His knowledge not only on all the different animals but about his country and the people were brilliant.
Pascal was very informative, welcoming, funny and overall had a great character. Pascal made us feel welcome and really made the experience of our first Safari that much better. We were only with him for 2 of our game drives as the company changed the schedule which is such a shame but we are very grateful for the experience with him.
Every game drive we did there was no rush, he made sure we got the best photo shots and made the most out of our family Safari experience.
I would highly recommend Suricata Safari, if you are getting Pascal as your guide you are in for an amazing experience.
Suricata boma lodge was also brilliant, the staff were so friendly. All the food included was high quality and delicious, even for my fussy teenage brother he enjoyed it! The lodges are beautiful and really heightened our safari expierence but with a touch of luxury.
There is a couple of things that lets the safari down. The communication was poor prior to arriving, I had no one ask for airport pick up details and I had to chase this myself. The airport hotel was also horrendous. The electrics were hanging off the wall which gave me an electric shock when I tried to turn the light on and cockroaches in the room, it smelt of damp with not even amenities provided, one towel between 2 of us. Also the person who came to meet us at the airport hotel prior to the safari gave us the wrong information.
I feel this is minor and would not effect booking with Suricata Safari again! I can only hope one day I can return and do this once in a lift time experience again.

Outstanding
Wow, what a start to our safari . We met our wonderful guide Pascal who is so passionate and knowledgeable about everything . His excitement and passion is contagious. We were driven around to our first stop Tarangere park were we learnt about the history as well as the animals we may see . Pascal made the drive and the site seeing amazing with the knowledge of the animal markings and plants and wildlife.
The same as Manyara national park . We saw so many elephants , baboons , zebra the list goes on. What an amazing experience . We then stopped for a picnic outside , before continuing.
We stayed Surikata Boma with beautiful authentic surroundings , the lodges were so wonderful and comfortable and we loved their eco friendly ethos . 5 star also for the food , staff and entertainment. You will not be disappointed staying here .

Wonderful 4 day safari tour
I went on a 4 day safari tour where we got to experience the Savannahs and or national parks while staying at different hotels with different settings making the experience unique and new for every nights stay with jeremy as our guide/driver. Wonderful guy with a good sence of humor. Throughout the trip he made sure everyone was made sure of and took the time to stop a few times if needed be, as we watched the animals he often times gave us a quick resume of the animal, and made sure everyone got the photos and videos that they needed. I can fully recommend going on a safari tour with suricata safaris

Every Game Drive Brought a New Surprise.
Rather than rushing from one wildlife sighting to another, this safari gave us time to truly appreciate each moment. We spent several hours exploring Tarangire National Park, where the massive baobab trees, large elephant families, and peaceful atmosphere made the experience feel incredibly special. Later, visiting the Ngorongoro Crater offered a completely different landscape, packed with wildlife and unforgettable views in every direction.
One of the biggest reasons the trip felt so enjoyable was Jeremy. He understood exactly when to stop, where to wait, and how to position the vehicle so everyone had a great view without feeling hurried. His calm approach and genuine passion for Tanzania's wildlife made every drive more interesting. Suricata Safaris delivered a well-planned experience that balanced adventure, comfort, and unforgettable wildlife encounters from beginning to end.

Unforgetable Safari tour with Steve and Lewis
We had amazing experience with Suricata Safaris and the guides Steve and Lewis. We got full picture and info about life in Africa, animals, and we received the best service from the guides we could imagine. Accomodation in the lodges was excellent, food was great and we saw all the animals which Safari offered. Absolutly amazing. I fully recomend Suricata safari with those 2 guys.
