Amazing team
I am so glad that I booked with those guys! Everybody we had contact with was open minded, friendly and always in a good mood. The price was that cheap that I was worried at the beginning. Also all the 5 star recommendations made me skeptical - but now I know why! They have the beste price, the best guides and the best safari trucks! Our guide knew a lot of the behaviors of the animals so that we spotted a lot of lions. We always had good and enough food and drinks during the journey!

Great experience
Fair prices, everything that was agreed upon was respected, no hidden fees. Good communication, very safe as female traveling alone I joined a group and share with another lady also traveling solo. Raheem was out guide and he absolutely nailed it! Personally I saw all the animals I wanted to see, and Raheem continued giving it all, thanks again for the patience and the trip. Lodge as agreed, hot water all the time, nice food, for sure I'll recommend Lenchada.

Excellent City & Bush Holiday Experience!
We worked with Natasha at Sun Safaris to plan our 12 day ‘City and Bush’ family holiday. Our trip exceeded expectations! We loved Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the Wine Country. The Lawhill Apartments in Cape Town were an excellent choice - well located in the V&A Waterfront, nicely appointed, clean and excellent guest services. Natasha coordinated transfers and day trips in Cape Town and for the Safari camps - all very professional and knowledgeable.
Our safari experience was fantastic. Simbambili Game Lodge at Sabi Sands was a highlight of our trip - it was wonderful and I would not have changed a thing. The staff, food, environment, bush drives - everything - was absolutely perfect! We also enjoyed Jackalberry Lodge. Between the two lodges we saw so many animals and learned so much.
Natahsa was such a pleasure to work with and her knowledge of Cape Town and Safari was so helpful. She was very responsive, and coordinated all of the details that resulted in a memorable, seamless holiday experience. I highly recommend Natasha and will definitely use Sun Safaris again when we are ready to plan our next adventure!

Exceeded expations in communication, organization and consideration
We are an elderly couple , first time on safari and Serengeti Smile made this an enjoyable, interesting and safe experience for us. We saw a huge variety of animals and learned a lot about their life and habits from our guide/ driver. He also went the extra mile to give us the best opportunities to view the animals. The accommodation highlight was staying in the bush camp. We strongly recommend this company for a safari.

Greatest adventure with great company
The greatest tour I have ever been on (7 day in Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Suricata made every step of the way worry free and hassle free. Their vehicle was great (comfortable and capable with no issues), great lodging choices (the angata serengeti is my new favorite stay anywhere), good food (we actually had hot meals for lunch everyday). Our guide (Ezekiel) was super friendly/cool, knew the areas like the back of his hand, is very in tune and knowledge with the animals behaviors/tendencies leading to great wildlife viewing & a very capable driver (not getting stuck like others we saw when conditions worsened due to rain).
Also props for being a Tanzania owned company, there are a lot of foreign owned operators. Support local.
I would take the same tour again in the future... No doubt!

7 Day Safari
We went on the 7 day safari and it was amazing! Ezekiel was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and a great driver. We chose the mid grade accommodations and all of the accommodations were perfect. All the food was very good. I highly recommend Suricata for your safari and would definitely come back!

Very nice safari driver, Albert
We had a great time Albert on our 5 day safari. He took the time to explain things we saw on safari and answer any questions we had. He is very knowledgeable. We saw the Big 5, thanks to our guide! We stayed at 3 places on our tour, Dove Nest Resort, Rhino Camp, and Hotel
CityMax. Dove Nest Resort was our favorite! Fantastic place, excellent food, and very nice, welcoming staff! Rhino Camp was also very nice. We stayed in a tent and the food was good and staff very nice. It was a great experience!

Joel was amazing and instantaneously became part of our family holiday.
Joel, our tour guide for 3 days, was amazing. He instantaneously became part of our Christmas safari journey. The teaser Safari the first evening after getting out to the bush was great. The next day it was completely phenomenal. We saw an unprecedented 14 lions, due in part to Joel's ability to network with other drivers, with the best advice on prime locations not coming over the CB. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos, wildebeasts, hundreds of migrating water buffalo, a plethora of birds, gazelle, impala, hyenas, warthogs, topi, baboons, crocodiles... He knew the great places to stop for lunch. He helped me haggle for some Safari hats on the side of the road. He thrilled our 13-year-old son with his offroading capabilities, allowing him to ride shotgun, the same mud that multiple other drivers got stuck in. On the way back, he even pulled off to allow me to grab a geocache. We could not have asked for a better experience or guide.
