Excellent
Safari was fantastic and our guide, Charles, was excellent. He worked hard to ensure we saw all the top 10 of the animals and much more besides. Mostly up close, including a family of Lions resting under a tree by the roadside.
I would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone considering a safari to Tanzania.

A professional and reliable tour operator that made our safari unforgettable, very well organized.
Our safari with Suricata Safaris was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Everything was very well organized from the beginning, communication was easy and reliable, and the whole trip went smoothly. Our guide, Chavas, was professional, friendly, and did everything he could to make sure we had the best possible experience. We saw so many animals (áll of the Big 10) and incredible landscapes, and every day was unforgettable. The service, the hotels was excellent and we felt that the safari was great value for money. The night in the Bush Camp was a special experience. We would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

The whole experience was excellent. The coordination between guides in the game parks made seeing all the animals super straight-forward.

Amazing Safari, Incredible Wildlife, and the Best Guide!
We booked a safari with Suricata Safaris in July 2026, and it was absolutely amazing—truly one of the best trips we have ever taken! Our guide, Ecky, made the experience even more memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and had the best personality. We laughed so much throughout the trip, and Ecky was a huge part of what made it so special.
There were 11 people in our group, and Suricata provided two jeeps. We were fortunate enough to have Ecky as our guide. Ennis, who drove the other jeep, was wonderful as well. We didn’t spend as much time with him, but he was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
All of our accommodations were wonderful. The only small issue was that the beds were a little firm for our liking. However, that certainly would not stop me from booking with Suricata again. I would simply bring a mattress topper to make the beds a little softer.
We saw the Big Five and experienced so much of the Serengeti. We booked a seven-day safari, but looking back, I wish we had booked a longer trip. Seven days went by far too quickly, and we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy some of the beautiful lodges and everything they had to offer. If you have the time, I would definitely recommend booking longer than seven days.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip was taking a hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti. It was probably one of my favorite excursions I have ever done—and I have traveled to more than 30 countries! The balloon stayed at a relatively low altitude, which gave us incredible views of the animals and the landscape below. After the flight, we were treated to a wonderful breakfast. It was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end.
A few people in our group also did a 10-mile hike near Mount Kilimanjaro. The scenery was beautiful, but we made the mistake of doing it the day after arriving. It involved a long drive from Arusha to Kilimanjaro, the hike itself, and then another long drive to our lodge near the Serengeti. It made for an extremely long and exhausting day. If seeing Mount Kilimanjaro is part of your plans, I would strongly recommend arriving a couple of days earlier so you have more time to relax and adjust before doing the hike.
Overall, I highly recommend booking the luxury safari through Suricata Safaris. The entire experience was incredible, and I would absolutely book with them again. And if you’re lucky enough to get Ecky as your guide, you’re in for an amazing time filled with incredible wildlife, unforgettable experiences, and plenty of laughter!
