Suricata offered us an excellent tour and amazing experience with o my some organizational issues
On our 3 day tour through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater we got to see so much of the wildlife mostly thanks to our amazing tourguide Melita. His experience and knowledge about the Nationalparks helped us see all the different species, including the big 5! He was an amazing guide and made the experience very special.
The campsites were very clean, equipped with the necessary amenities and very well located. We had amazing sunsets, sunrises and Zebras in the camps. The food included was always delicious and big portions so that everybody had enough.
The safari tour experience and our guide deserve 5 stars without a doubt!
Unfortunately we can only give 4 stars for the overall experience because of some organizational issues in the beginning. We were told to be picked up at the airport and after waiting for one hour with nobody responding to our messages or calls we had to find ourselves a taxi. Also the included accommodation was not very clearly communicated so we double booked. After a long exchange we were compensated to make up for the caused trouble, which we appreciated after the frustrating arrival.
Either way we would recommend the tour to anybody considering it.

A dream come true!
Suricatas Safari made my lifelong dream of a Tanzanian safari come true. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara, each offering breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters. Our guide, Emanuel, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and with an amazing eye for spotting animals, including a rare black rhino and a pair of lions on their honeymoon!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable vehicle to the well-planned itinerary. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

Amazing Safari experience
What a great experience.Our Guide Damian did a very great Job,smart and handsome Always giving us a Lot Background information. You can tell he knows what He is doing-we were always on the right spot and lucky to see many animals very close.
Suricata Bomba Lodge is amazing and also the night in Serengeti was a memorable experiences.
Unfortunatally nobody was at JRO Airport to pick us up - but Suricata managed everything very professional and quick.
This is really the only reason why we only give 4*-other than that we can only recommend this company - we got more than expected. Thanks to the whole Team for making our Safari unforgetable.

5 Day Great Safari - Surreal Experience!
We booked a 5-day group Great Safari which was an incredible experience! We saw the big 5 animals in 1 day. Our itinerary included Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Our guide, Melita, has in depth knowledge of all the animals, parks, and the Maasai people. He navigated the drive really well. I am so glad he was our guide!! My only feedback is for improved communication with the briefer. Our itinerary was changed and we weren’t informed until the night prior. I also had difficulty reaching our briefer after the Safari to arrange transfers but all was arranged appropriately in the end. The tour was all inclusive with transfers, food, water, and lodging. All of the lodging were very beautiful, accommodated different dietary restrictions, and were in scenic places in the parks. The exception is the SG resort in Arusha which unfortunately had outdated and unclean rooms for one of our nights. Overall, I recommend this operator for your journey!

Simon is great!
Simon was a great safari guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. While the itinerary I booked got a little messed up and I was with different groups each day, Simon more than made up for it. In general, the camping safari was good value.
Once in a lifetime experience
The scenery is so good and I’m really surprised that there are varieties of animals in safari! The campsite we stayed has a room to improve in a shower room but in total the experience was brilliant!

Great safari
We had an amazing experience on this safari! We saw so many different types of animals right from the start, and most of these were so close to the car we had a great view. Our guide Lewis was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we put to him. The food and camping facilities were all great and better than expected. Chef Salim made sure we were always well fed with great food. Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable Guides
Booking the 4 day Tanzanian Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was very easy and the having the representative waiting at the starting and ending hotel was very convenient and made the whole trip feel secure. My favorite place we stayed was the Suricata Boma Lodge. Absolutely gorgeous accommodations and the food was delicious. The staff were so friendly and willing to help. There was some confusion about other accommodations since the ones listed on the brochure were different but they were very pleasant and the staff were very accommodating, especially after long days of safari. Our guide Amiri was super knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the animals and got close enough to get pictures but not uncomfortable or unsafe for the animals.

Unique safari experience at 3 different NPs
We had a good guide (Elias) with excellent local experience and brilliant eyesight, always stayed on-road and communicated with other trucks, that's how we found nearly every animal incl. the Big Five. Lodges and served food were also amazing. Our guide could have provided a little bit more historical backgrounds though, we had to ask him everything in order to get infos. And unfortunately there were no night game drives.

It was an amazing tour with great food.
It was a beautiful tour through the landscapes of Tanzania. Baraka was a great guide and was able to answer all of our questions. I also have to praise Pius. He took care of the food, which was delicious. We felt completely at ease and were able to concentrate fully on the safari.
