lifelong memories
I had contacted the organizer in advance via the whatsapp channel...I was able to get a quick answer to our concerns and open questions at any time. when the program was fixed, it was about the payment...a first deposit of 20% of the total amount was due.... I was able to pay this by credit card (without a surcharge)...we had to pay the remaining amount 1 month before our arrival...there is a surcharge of 5% for credit card payments and 3% for bank transfers...the alternative is to take the remaining amount with us (which is quite a lot of money...and the surcharge can add up)
Arrived at the airport mauch was already waiting for us with name boards. The whole organization/procedures and catering were always at the top of the list... The accommodation and camps were also very well equipped and we felt very comfortable (medium luxury level).
On the safari, all our wishes were catered for and we saw and experienced everything we had planned before the safari (4 out of the big 5...no Leopard but a Cheetah instead)...I would recommend the safari with Suricata to anyone and we would do it again. Many thanks to the Suricata crew for making us feel safe and at home at all times

Very responsible and customer forward with a high quality product
Suricata safari provided an excellent safari experience for my family traveling four days throughout Tanzania. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time with his welcoming attitude. The lodges and food were great with fresh meals served every day and no boxed lunches. The whole experience was guided very well and suricata safari from the start communicated well ensuring a smooth complete experience.
Flawless experience- amazing food, friendly, knowledgeable guide- well organised.
Top notch- nothing negative about our experience. The camping setup surpassed our expectations and the food was also amazing! Our guide Damien was incredible also.

Easy to work with
I enjoyed the safari and it contributed to make my experience of Tanzania amazing. I didn't have to think too much about arrangements as Suricata took care of everything. All I had to do was show up and be taken along. I booked a 4day midrange safari and the accommodations were varied and interesting. It was lovely to experience glamping in the tented lodges in the wild but yet feel safe and comfortable. The safari itself was great. Not only the animals but to experience the beauty and grandeur of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, whose landscapes are worthy to be seen in and of themselves. I did not get to see a leopard up close and missed out on some cheetahs but its up to the animals in the end how much of them you see.
Saw a few lions among theany other animals with the highlight being a lioness perched on a tree with her sights fixed on some buffalo.
All in all I wish to come on this adventure again another time, maybe do a longer stay in the Serengeti next time (Only spent one night on this occasion).
Thank you Suricata for a memorable experience.

3 days/3nights luxury private safari
Our safari experience with SURICATA Safaris was a great time! Rocky was amazing! He provided a comfortable experience.
He was quick to get us what we needed and ensured we got the most out of each game drive even when we were running late getting ready in the mornings.
Rocky's land and wildlife knowledge was truly impressive and he answered every question about Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and the areas outside of the parks.
The accommodations were exactly what we asked for. He worked seamlessly with the staff at each hotel/lodge each day. Four Seasons Serengeti & Melia Ngorongoro were beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings, offering stunning views and a cozy retreats after a day of adventure. The food and drinks were another highlight, with options that catered to all 4 of us.
In summary, our safari with SURICATA Safaris and Rocky was an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend SURICATA Safaris for anyone seeking an outstanding safari experience.

Exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate.
Friends and I had an outstanding experience with SURICATA Safaris. Our incredible guide, Rocky ensured we had the best possible experience. He was always punctual and patient, making sure we maximized our time on each game drive even when we were running late getting ready in the mornings. He expertly navigated the terrain, ensuring we had prime viewing opportunities for all the wildlife.
Rocky's knowledge was truly impressive. He provided thorough and fascinating explanations about each animal we encountered, from their behaviors and social structures to their roles in the ecosystem. His ability to answer every question we had demonstrated his deep expertise and passion for wildlife.
Our journey started in Zanzibar. Unfortunately, my luggage did not arrive from Paris. The airlines were unhelpful and Rocky was the rockstar who finally reunited me with my luggage making phone calls and through his connections with Melia hotels and Zanzibar airport. Thank you, Rocky!!!
The accommodations were top-notch, providing a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Each lodge was beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings, offering stunning views and a luxe retreat after a day of adventure. The food was another highlight, with delicious and diverse options that catered to all tastes.
What made this safari exceptional were the little details: the well-organized itinerary that balanced adventure with relaxation, the thoughtful touches like refreshing beverages during game drives, and the attentive service from staff members.
Overall, our safari with SURICATA Safaris and Rocky was an unforgettable adventure. We felt immersed in the beauty and wonder of the wild, thanks to the seamless planning and execution. We highly recommend SURICATA Safaris for anyone seeking an outstanding safari experience.

Professional and wonderful adventure with Suricata Safaris
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a 4-day safari trip with Suricata Safaris, and it was truly remarkable. We began our adventure at the Suricata Boma Lodges, which offered breathtaking views and an unparalleled level of comfort. The accommodations inside the Serengeti National Park were equally unforgettable, allowing us to wake up to the sight of lions right outside our camp.
Our guides, Amiri and Fred, were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Their smooth driving and keen eyes ensured that we spotted a wide variety of animals throughout the trip. The food provided was top-notch, adding to the overall enjoyment of the safari.
The itinerary was well-planned and executed, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience.

Unforgettable Adventure with Suricata Safaris: A Real-Life Nature Documentary
I recently had one of the best experiences of my life with Suricata Safaris! Our trip was nothing short of amazing. We saw so many animals, including the Big Five. Watching lions hunt and mate felt like being in a real-life nature documentary.
Our drivers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, knowing exactly where to find the animals and understanding their behaviors. Despite a few small issues with our changed schedules and accommodations, everything worked out really well in the end.
I can definitely recommend Suricata Safaris. If you're considering a safari, July is a fantastic time to visit!

Top quality: reliable and professional
Our 4-day safari with Suricata Safari was absolutely fantastic! Everything was handled professionally. Communication was good throughout. Our trip ended with a brief feedback talk to ensure customer satisfaction and search for our possible suggestions for improvement. Great!
Our guide, Lewis, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and surroundings and also incredibly kind throughout the journey. His experience helped us to see the BIG5 (and basically the rest of the real life cast of “The Lion King”)…
The meals prepared by Chef Tito were consistently great , adding a delightful culinary dimension to our experience, taking into account my diary restrictions…
The overall organization of the safari was impeccable, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip.
We highly recommend Suricata Safari for anyone looking to explore and appreciate the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
