The perfect Safari experience
Starting from the booking at home until the last day of our 4-day safari trip it was an absolutely perfect and amazing experience. The guys from Suricata are absolutely professional and at the same time such incredibly caring hosts!
Damian our driver and guide was so great. He knew everything about the amazing places we visited and also about the animals we saw. On top of that he created such a nice atmosphere in our group, we just loved it. The lodges we were staying at were great and also the food we got during the day created by our chef-cook Tito. We definetly recommend to do at least 3-4 days to see all the different places.
The organization around was perfect - thanks to Mr. T and Daniel from Suricata. We did not need to care about anything as they were so great.
We would definetly recommend Suricata as we could compare it to other client's experiences with other companys.
Thanks a lot for everything to the whole Suricata team!

4 days and the big five
We went on a four-day trip with Suricata Safaris, choosing to stay in tents. First, we visited Serengeti Park and saw amazing animals like lions, cheetahs, and elephants. We thought it couldn't get any better, but we were wrong. In Ngorongoro National Park, we saw two rhinos, which was incredible. Then, in Tarangire National Park, we finally saw a leopard, meaning we saw all of the "Big Five" animals. A big part of why our trip was so amazing was because of our guide, Elias. He knew exactly where to go so we could see animals up close, often before anyone else. Also, the food made by Chef Salim was fantastic and made our adventure even more special.

Best company for Safari :-)
We did the 4-day Safari with Suricata Safaris and it was the best experience we could get!
The organization and the staff is professional, everything worked out perfectly and they are super flexible if you come up with any request.
On the tour our guide Damian was not only a professional guide, he could also answer any question and has been driving safely every minute. On top of that he has been a great host and we had a really good mood and fun within our group.
The Safari itself has been great, the places we visited were very different and we were so lucky that we could even see the big 5 (and much more) within these four days. The accomodations during the trip were great too (we booked the lodges).
The chef (cook) Tito from Suricata who prepared the meals for the days also did an amazing job - we asked him if he worked in a Restaurant before as the food was really tasty.
Daniel & Mr. T who were the guys to welcome us and taking care of us at the start and end of our trip were great too, super friendly and they could provide every information we needed.
Also we talked to several clients from other companies in the evenings and we can just say we are super happy that we have been choosing Suricata for our trip - definetly would choose them again!
All in all we would give 6 stars is it was possible!!!
Thanks guys for that great adventure and your great effort!

The big five - An adventure of a lifetime
We embarked on a four-day adventure with Suricata Safaris, opting for the camping safari experience. Our journey took us initially to the vast plains of the Serengeti Park, where we were mesmerized by the sightings of lions, cheetahs, and elephants. Just when we thought the experience couldn't be topped, the Ngorongoro National Park presented us with the majestic sight of two rhinos, adding to our awe. The safari culminated at Tarangire National Park, where, in a stroke of luck, we spotted the elusive leopard, completing our encounter with the Big Five. An extraordinary aspect of our adventure was the expertise of our guide, Elias. His keen eye and timing ensured we were always in the best spot to witness these wonders up close, often before others even realized what was unfolding. Complementing our journey was the culinary excellence of Chef Salim, whose dishes were nothing short of outstanding, adding a flavorful layer to our unforgettable adventure.

Accommodated a truly unique experience very well
We were very happy with our full experience during this safari. We managed to see ALL the animals we were looking for which obviously isn't guaranteed, but it was amazing. Our guide Mandela was great throughout, very accommodating and knowledgeable. Tito the chef provided excellent, authentic food for all our meals as well. The sleeping situation was extremely unique, we camped every night, twice of which in the middle of the wild which was crazy. Overall, we couldnt have hoped for much better!

All 5 of the big 5 in 4 days and great food!
The whole experience was amazing, all three national parks covered over the 4 days and we saw all 5 of the big 5 including a cheetah feeding!
Our guide Mandela was great company and was great at answering our questions.. the food is a real differential of this tour so thanks to Tito our chef. Where most groups are having lunchboxes we had freshly cooked hot meals for every meal, even out in the national parks!
Would definitely recommend this tour

Best company to do a Safari
In our case we organized the trip to Tanzania on our own. When looking for safari companies we were surprised that there were many and we had no idea which one to choose. After searching a lot. We opted for the Suricata Safaris company because of the good reviews we saw and it was the best choice we could make.
The entire service from the first moment is looked at in detail so that you don't have to worry about anything. They pick you up at the hotel at the beginning of the safari and every time we got into the car they explained to us what we would do next. We felt very safe at all times and Lewis, our driver/guide, apart from being very nice, helped us at all times and always answered our questions.
The vehicle is already equipped and prepared for the safari. It has 8 seats, driver included, it has many windows and the roof, which is about 2 meters, rises almost a meter to be able to see the animals. They also give you plenty of water for every day and there are plenty of power outlets in the car. for everyone to charge their mobile.
We choose to sleep every day in tents at campsites, all organized by Suricata, and the experience of sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro Crater is spectacular. When we arrived at the campsites the tents were always set up or were set up upon arrival.
With us came a cook who cooked for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very delicious, varied food with vegetarian options.
We saw all the “big five” and many animals, it is clear that Lewis knows what he is doing and where to find them. They are also communicated by radio between all the companies to help each other in case they see more complicated animals such as the Blavk Rhino or the Cheetah.
Without a doubt we will repeat with them in the future. The experience was wonderful.

Guide Ezekiel's driving and scouting wildlife along with Mussa’s food made trip exceptional.
Our guide/driver, Ezekiel, was an exceptional communicator as to what to expect and some interesting facts about each wildlife species we encountered. He had a second sense in finding the animals, and ‘delivered’ on wide variety, including the more elusive cheeta, make/female lions, and rhinoserous! Add his exceptional driving skills and great sense of humor … the full package! Also, we had healthy balance meals three times a day thanks to chef extraordinare Mussa.

Amazing
They were amazing! Frederick, our guide, took great care of us, making sure we see as many animals as possible. He told us a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife. They fed us tremendous amounts of delicious food. We did not have any expectations about that, however, some of the dishes I tasted on this trip were the best I have ever tried, thank to our cook James. 10 out of 10 recommend this experience.
