Best tour operator ever!
Our Tanzania Safari with Suricata tour was AMAZING❤️! I have no words to describe the emotions we felt. We saw so many animals that we could no longer keep count… 5 cheetahs, 2 leopards, a Servalle, lots of elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and so on and so forth. Our guide Freddi (Frederik) was great! He explained us everything about animals, plants, environmental protection, etc about Tanzania and the wonderful parks we visited. The trip was well organized and the accommodations were beautiful and all different. We stayed in a crazy lodge in front of Lake Manyara (Suricata Boma Lodge), then we stayed in the Agata Camp in the Serengeti and then again in the Torillis Camp near the Ngorongoro Crater. Once again we sincerely thank all the staff who have been extremely kind and attentive (I have never found such a welcome in any of my travels, and I travel a lot). The food was always very good, perhaps the breakfast could be improved just a little. If you get the chance, don't hesitate for a second to visit Tanzania because it is truly a fantastic country that pays attention to its nature. Negative notes? None

Really really good
Had a fantastic overall safari experience with Suricata.
Highlights of the trip include: Max our guide - a great guy who is so friendly, helpful and funny. He is a source of knowledge about all the animals and expertly answered all of our questions.
Moussa our chef is also a top guy and his culinary skills were so well appreciated by all of our stomachs. He made such delicious food that I might have gained weight this trip. The lodges were all very nice and comfortable places to stay.
Thank you for a wonderful time!

Excellent service
It was a wonderful experience. The staffs were really friendly and always strived to provide us with the best possible service whenever they could. The food cooked by the staff was quite the highlight as it was genuinely really good and being able to try out a different style of cuisine was interesting. Best part of this trip was being able to see 4 out of 5 of the big 5’s just sadly the leopard was missing.
Overall the provided service was excellent.

Great for low budget backpackers!
The experience is amazing and Suricata Safaris has options which makes it more affordable for the low budget travellers! Everyone in the company was lovely and the guide tried to help us see as many animals as possible

Most Incredible Safari Experience
We just came back from the best 5-day safari in Tanzania with Suricata!
As the title already suggests: it was indeed picture-perfect (attached are some of our favorite photos we took ourselves).
This was our first time in sub-Saharan Africa and also our first safari experience. We couldn't have asked for more. Not only were the trips to the different national parks incredible, but it really was the people we were with that made this trip incredible.
First and foremost our guide, Damian, whose expertise made wildlife accessible to us. Indeed, he was significantly more than a guide - the rapport we and the whole group had with him was incredibly close. We laughed, joked and had the best time together. It's amazing to see, that Damian truly lives and breathes being a guide - we're sure that this is also why we were so lucky as to see the Big Five.
Our five days were framed by the incredible and most exquisite and local food made by the chef, Salum. He would go the extra mile for all courses: be it through cooking up one or two extra dishes or beautifully decorating the table. One could really see the passion he has for cooking, which translates time and time again onto the dishes. Now in Zanzibar we cannot but miss the exquisite combinations of Salum's cuisine.
We seldomly write reviews but were so extremly happy with our experience that we wholeheartedly recommend Suricata Safari. If you're able to book quite a bit in advance, make sure that you communicate you'd like to be accompanied by Damian and Salum. It really makes a difference!
Asante sana - and may we meet again!

The Guide and the Chef are family now :)
We had the best 4 days doing the safari with suricata!
The communication and the organization before the safari was super easy and hilary helped us everywhere she could.
BUT: The safari itself was from a different planet!!
The guide Damian knows everything about animals and learned us a lot about his country and wildlife. It‘s crazy!
Thanks to him we were lucky to see the Big from near. What crazy experiences these situations were! Above from being an expert about Wildlife and the different national parks, damian is super charming and one of the funniest persons we ever met. he felt like a brother to us. THIS GUY IS INSANE!
We were happy to have a great team on board and everybody clicked from the first moment. It felt like family, where it didn‘t matter, where you come from, which religion you believe in or which skin colour you have. That‘s what life is about!
The next big thing was Salum the Chef. We never met a person who was so extraordinary motivated that we have the best food, the prettiest decorated tables and that we feel good all the time. He introduced us to local dishes and served us everyday the best food ever! THIS GUY IS ALSO INSANE! And one of the most humble guys we ever met!
We can highly reccommend doing this safari with suricata. If you book early in advance, ask for damian as the chief guide and for Salum as the chef and we promise you, you have the best time and an experience you‘ll never forget!!!
Hakuna Matata!

2 Week Family Private Safari with Ezekiel
We are a family with extensive East Africa safari experience. We chose Suricata to design and deliver a private custom 2 week safari. Focussed on game viewing in the Serengeti. Suricata Exceeded our high expectations through Ezekiel, out guide and driver. He has great knowledge of all things Tanzanian. And continuously varied the experience to explore all corners of the Serengeti. They organized stays in Elewana camps, which we highly recommend. Compared to the bigger luxury operators, we think Suricata delivers better value and customized experiences.
