The best experience
We had the best safari experience with our guide Melita and our cook Salim. Salim prepared the most delicious meals and was a pleasure to be around. Melita managed to find the Big 5 and was the most fun guide we could wish for.
Thank you!!

Made me fall in love with Tanzania
Suricata Safari made me fall in love with Africa, and Tanzania. Everything from when I was picked up on the airport to when I left has been so amazing that it's difficult to spell out in words.
Our guide and driver Charles was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the big 5, most of them on several occasions. The chef Mukhucin was amazing and made some of the best and diverse food I have ever tasted. Make sure to tip them well!
The camping spots were very good and most of them even had hot water for showering. I would recommend bringing some earplugs though since the animals can make quite some noise at night. We had everything from small dik-dik to elephants visiting our camps so you really get to get close to the wildlife. Also, if you are going to Ngorongoro, make sure to bring some warm clothes.
The only criticism I have is that when I was going to Serengeti we were a bit late and didn't get that much out of the day, and in Ngorongoro two other people were joining our group and there was an issue with the permit which made us all very late for the crater. They did solve this in a very good way though and I was very pleased with how it all turned out.
I am for sure returning to Tanzania after this experience!

Amazing!
The tour was fantastic. The national parks are beautiful and we had such a great guide. He was so friendly and answered all our questions.
And the cook was brilliant. The food was so incredibly good!
On top of all that, sleeping in tents between you was just unique! I would recommend it to anyone!

The best!
I was SO incredibly satisfied with my whole safari experience through Suricata Safaris! Everything was planned down to the minute, which made the logistics totally stress-free. The accommodations chosen were excellent; every lodge/camp was high quality and a perfect place to relax.
The hospitality started right away: A driver picked me up at the Arusha airport, and then Emanuel from the Suricata team came by a few hours later just to brief me and make me feel completely settled before the safari even began. That was such a great, personal touch!
My guide, Adam, was honestly the best. I was blown away by his knowledge and hosting, he made the safari so easy and fun. And a huge thanks to Salim the chef, every single meal was delicious and such a treat.
The safari ended seamlessly, and even the final debrief with David was so well-organized. If you want a perfectly handled, high-quality, and totally unforgettable adventure, book with Suricata. I highly, highly recommend them!

We had our 4 day safari trip with Gordon (our tour guide and driver). He has been 100% friendly, knowledgeable and caring. We stayed at camping sites which have been an amazing and unique experience. The food has been tasteful all the time.
All the trip has been well organized and prepared well in every detail.

Super WOW Safari Experience
An excellent experience: three days immersed in nature with an excellent guide, who carefully observed the animals' every move and provided us with a wealth of information about the different species and their habits. We slept under the stars in a tent among the animals, and when we woke up, we found an elephant in our campsite.
The food service was also excellent; the chef was attentive to the needs of the entire group, and the food was fresh and delicious every day.
The agency staff was extremely helpful in organizing the experience and managing all the transportation.
Highly recommended, also for the excellent value.

Incredible 5-Day Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris!
We did the 5-day mid-range safari back in October, visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Amiri, was exceptional and truly made the trip unforgettable. His ability to spot animals from miles away was incredible — we got to see so many animals up close, some of which we never imagined we’d encounter in the wild.
The whole experience, from the communication with the company to the accommodations, food, and organization, was flawless. Everything was well thought out, and we felt truly cared for throughout the trip.
A safari has always been a dream of mine, but I never thought I’d have the opportunity to experience it in such a spectacular way. I’m so glad I chose Suricata Safaris for this adventure — it’s been the trip of a lifetime, and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable safari journey.

Simply sensational! Gerald, our driver, and Tito, the cook, were spectacular.
Gerald, the driver, is simply amazing behind the wheel, and on top of that, he's a fantastic guide! He provides important information about all the places and animals, as well as the history of the Maasai people and the names given to the locations. Not to mention he has eagle eyes! He could spot animals from so far away and guide us right to them. As for Tito… wow, the food was great! Zero complaints about the meals he prepared, not to mention his friendliness! Simply sensational. The entire Suricata Safari organization was also fantastic, completely prepared, from our arrival at the airport to our return. I highly recommend them!!

Best safari
I got a quote through the website but then contacted them via WhatsApp. The service was quick, and all the information was given right away. In other words, the booking process is very fast, easy, and secure. We chose the safari in November, which is said to be the rainy season, but we were lucky enough to not have a single rainy day. Everything was perfect, and we had no problems. From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport, where a driver was already waiting for us, to the accommodation in Arusha (impressive), the great breakfast, and the very attentive staff. We chose to stay at the camps for the safari days, and three days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were prepared by Chef Tito, always very good, with excellent seasoning and a varied menu. Our guide/driver, Gerald, was the best guide in all of Tanzania. In short, do the safari with them. You won't regret it and you'll have the best experience in the world!

Amazing Safari Experience
We just returned from an amazing unforgettable, 4 day safari part of a 10 day trip. Everything was really well organised from our pick up and return to the airport and trip to the parks. Our guide Damian was such a nice, fun guy who made the 4 days memorable for us. He was very knowledgeable about the animals too. The animals you see is just luck but we had tons of luck and saw nearly every animal, Including, lions, zebra, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs and many more. One of the biggest surprises was that we took along our own chef who prepared 3 hot meals a day. Samson's cooking was amazing. We can highly recommend these two amazing guys to make your safari in Tanzania a trip to remember.
