Stunning
I chose the 4-day safari experience in tend, which was truly thrilling. I was fascinated by everything, especially by the lion.
Thanks to our drivers, Damien and Adam, we were able to see all the Big 5 and many more animals.
My thanks go to all the Suricata staff: the hidden ones, the chef for the delicious food, Damien for his keen sense of smell and brilliant eyesight, and Adam for his cheerfulness and all the stories about the history and life of the animals of the savannah.

“A wildlife-first guide with deep knowledge of the land and a growing photographer’s eye.”
I had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Freddy with Suricata Safaris, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Freddy is exceptionally knowledgeable — not only about every species we encountered, but also about the history of the land, the ecosystems, and the deeper story of the places we explored. His understanding goes far beyond identification; he brings context, meaning, and respect to every sighting.
What truly sets Freddy apart is his unwavering respect for wildlife. He is deeply conscious of the well-being of the animals and consistently puts them first, never chasing a checklist or quota of sightings. That ethical approach created more authentic, powerful encounters and made the entire experience feel grounded, responsible, and special.
As a photographer, I also appreciated his ever-evolving photographic perspective. Freddy has a strong and growing eye for imagery, understands positioning and light, and genuinely supports photographers in the field. I would strongly encourage people to keep an eye out for his photographs — his vision is only getting stronger.
I will be returning on a regular basis and will continue to have Freddy as my guide whenever possible.
A sincere thank you to Freddy and the entire Suricata Safaris team for delivering an outstanding and unforgettable photography expedition.

Suricata Safaris made my safari dreams come true!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Suricats Safaris. My trip far exceeded my expectations. Right from when I started looking to plan this, Suricata answered all my questions, gave me all the info I needed and gave me the ability to customize everything to my preferences. They took care of everything for me so I didn't have to worry about transportation, accommodation or food. They communicated with me regularly and I never felt like I had unanswered questions. The safari itself was a five day experience and I was just blown away by all the animals we saw and how close we got. Our guide Adam was fantastic. He knew all the right places to go and got us into the best spots for viewing. We saw all the big five and so much more. Most of the time I felt like I was in the Lion King. I also did the balloon ride add on and it was breathtaking. When it was all over they even brought us back to the airport, and our driver was so sweet he texted to make sure our flight was OK and we got to our next destination safely. This was the trip of a lifetime and I highly recommend Suricata Safaris. It was well worth it.

Unbelievable experience
It was a one-in-a-lifetime experience.
We saw all the big 5; unforgettable to see a cheetah with her 2 babies while eating a small gnu 2 meters from us, several lions all so close you could almost touch them.
Our guides, Damian and Adam, were so professional while at the same time so funny and they were able to spot all the animals from large distances. Our chef provided unique meals, we always felt comfortable. Sooooo grateful!
AMAZING
Amazing experience, the safari was incredible. We were lucky enough to see all the Big Five (including a leopard and three rhinos!!!). We were like children in front of nature's beauty, just inches away from the lions and lionesses. It felt surreal to see so many, and so close. Our guide, Elias, was perfect: knowledgeable, funny, and patient. We had a great group, and the lodges were spotless. I highly recommend the experience. Go for it without hesitation!

Amazing
I booked a budget 5-day tour with Suricata Safaris. We explored Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. I had an amazing time, and everything was very well organized. The food was super delicious every day, and everything went safely and smoothly.
Sleeping in camps inside the parks was also an adventure. Before the trip I was hesitant about wildlife at night, but it was totally safe, and it was actually very nice to hear the animals around at night. The tents were comfortable, and everything was provided, including the tent itself, a mat, a pillow, and a sleeping bag.
I would highly recommend Suricata Safaris. They have very kind and professional guides and chefs who prepare delicious food. They gave me an unforgettable experience that I will remember forever. :-)

Amazing experience
I signed up for a four-day safari tour. I was very satisfied. The driver/guide had a wealth of animal knowledge and provided a lot of information. Three meals were provided, and all were delicious, with flavors familiar to Japanese people. The campsites were generally clean, considering that we were in a foreign country. However, I was inconvenienced by the fact that I couldn't charge my smartphone at the campsite on the second day. I was informed in advance that there would be a charger in the car, but it was clogged with sand, so it was difficult to charge, so be careful.
During the safari, I was able to see many animals, including elephants, giraffes, and lions. I was impressed by the scenery, which I can't see in Japan.
