Very professional
I had a great experience with Suricata, they were very professional and accommodating. Our guide Phil was very knowledgeable and great at spotting all sorts of animals. We even got to see a rhino!! The food and accommodation was also great (Thanks a lot to Tito for cooking for us!!).

Highly recommend booking with Suricata Safaris!
Highly, highly, highly recommend booking with Suricata Safaris! I went with five friends (six people total) for the mid-range five day Safari. It was amazing.
For logistics - We stayed in the Suricata Boma Lodge two nights and in tents two nights - one in the Serengeti and one in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Suricata also set up hotel stays for a night before & after the safari itself, and arranged for airport drop off & pick up which was incredibly helpful. Each overnight location had Wi-Fi as well. The Boma had a pool with a stunning view and beautiful rooms. It was really cool to camp in the Serengeti where we could hear animals at night (but very safe as we had escorts to walk us to our rooms), and we were so high up in Ngorongoro that we were camping in a cloud. It was cold (bring layers and a jacket, it’s cold but manageable), and when it was time for bed the staff had put hot water bottles in our rooms! A lovely touch and they stayed warm all night.
For the food - The food was delicious - hot lunches every day, they were very accommodating to allergies, and dinner & dessert every night. If you eat the crepes with breakfast, be sure to add some jam!
And for the Safari itself - Absolutely amazing, and that doesn’t even do the trip justice. We saw all the animals on our “wish list” (including the full Top Five!) and our guide did a great job at navigating how long to look at each animal or herd before moving along. He also maneuvered some awesome views for us among the other Safari trucks. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and parks we visited so we learned a lot. We visited a different park every day, except for the Serengeti which was two days. The Serengeti and the Crater were my personal favorites - though every day was really fun and brought beautiful views, landscapes, and animals.
I’m not usually someone to leave reviews but I definitely wanted to share how much I loved this trip. The team was incredibly friendly, accommodating, personable & fun to joke around with - and created such wonderful memories for us on this trip. If you’re hovering over that “confirm” button - book it today!! Thank you, Suricata.

The perfect safari
We did the 5 day mid range safari and it was absolutely amazing!!
We were picked up at the airport and paid the remaining balance of our trip in cash. We had the first day in Arusha to relax at the hotel after our flight.
The next morning we met our guide Mandela and he was the best! He was so helpful, informative and good at spotting animals. Could not have had a better guide! We got to see the Big 5 and every animal we had hoped to see.
The lodges and tented camps were very nice and comfortable. Be sure to bring warm clothes for Ngorongoro though because it gets very chilly. The food was delicious! We had nice hot meals everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
This trip was incredible and I highly recommend it!

Loved every second! 1000% Recommend!
We had the BEST time in Tanzania with Suricata! We went as 6 friends and filled up the safari truck. We got to go to 1) Tarangire National Park 2) Lake Manyara 3) Ngorongoro Area/Serengeti 4) Serengeti and 5) Ngorongoro Crater. Each day felt like the best day yet. The tour was timed so well - we always felt like we’d seen a lot and were tired by the end of the day. Mandela was a FANTASTIC guide for the trip. He was kind, gave clear instructions, and helped me handle my food allergies in an unfamiliar place. Mandela was so informative, sharing loads of facts about the areas and the animals. We saw so many animals too! The list included Lions (in trees, eating kills, mating, and roaring), Zebras, Leopard, Buffalo, Cheetah, Rhinos, Baboons, Hippos, Wildebeest, Impalas, Giraffes, etc etc. The tented lodges we stayed in were lovely! On a cold night, staff even put hot water bottles in our beds while we were at dinner as a nice surprise. I had an amazing time and would recommend Suricata to anyone!

Mandela was absolutely perfect! You could not get anybody better
A must! Everything from the food to the accommodations was perfect! The logistics and the timing was immaculate. Mandela made the entire trip. He was so knowledgeable and kind and let us see every animal for as long as we wanted. I will recommend Suricata Safari to every person I know who is interested in taking a safari.

David G. was very kind and careful with us.
We were two people for 3 days. We loved the experience, we saw many animals, the driver, David, was attentive to us at all times and made an effort to ensure that we saw as much as possible. If we did it again, we would definitely repeat it with the company.

Amazing
We did a 6 day safari , Masai Mara, Nakuru , Naivasha and Amboseli I must attest it was the most magical experience. Ken, our tour guide & driver has a strong experience in the field. He knows perfectly the area and very brave.
He knows where to go and how to find the animals. The communication from the office was impressive they responded immediately
I would highly recommend this to my friends
I will definitely book with you on my next vacation

Highly recommend to everyone
Amazing experience with Lewis AZD, Musa (chef), daniel and the company, we saw so many animals, and Lewis knew all the right places to bring us, making sure that we enjoyed ourselves! We would highly recommend this company, they will deliver and give more to ensure that your trip is one that youll definetely remember! Do spot the rhinos on our behalf those guys were way elusive this trip, but we’ll definetely be back with this trip! Musa even cooked us special tanzanian food and made sure we were warm when ngorongoro was <11degrees! Even camping with this company is a luxury with beds so highly worth!

Amazing safari experience
The safari was amazing and beyond our expectations. The crew for our safari were all very experienced. We had our guide Lewis AZD , Chef Musa and Briefer Daniel :) Lewis was extremely skilled and could spot all the animals we wanted to see for us and help us get the best pictures. Chef Musa was very thoughtful and even personalised some of our meals to our palettes and gave us popcorn while we were watching the giraffes! Everything was very well planned and we didn’t have to worry about time accommodation or food We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend Suricata Safaris to everyone !

A friendly and caring team who provide real quality from the very beginning until the end.
We started to organise our Safari tour 6 month before our journey. I got several offers, but Deeper Serengeti Safaris was the only one, who provided us the best possible Safari tour for the very best price. We travelled 6 of us. We were on a 5 days 4 nights Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. They offered us different accomodations to choose from. They were super kind to us! We made together the itinerary that we accomplished. They also helped us to book the planes from Zanzibar to Arusha and back to Zanzibar. The whole Deeper Serengeti Safaris Team welcomed us at the airport and guided us together to the first hotel. We had a meeting together where everything was set and we got every information we needed. They were superkind from the very beginning until the end. Our driver was Ofman, a very talented guide. He shared us a lot of new information about every species. He took care of us. The 4x4 safari car was very comfortable. We had 5 different accomodation. 2 of the 5 was in the middle of Serengeti, luxurty tented camps. We enjoyed this a lot. We completed the Africa Big 5, the Small 5, and also the Ugly 5. We saw the migration of the wildebeasts, elephant families playing together, group of lions having their naptime under the trees. We visited the hippo pool. We saw a real life hunt, when a cheetah and her babies cought a smaller animal. We saw thousands of animals living in their own habitat. At the first hotel in Arusha, the dinner was also in the price, but in the first itiner, it was not. In Serengeti we had lunch and dinner together with Ofman, we shared a lot of memories and became friends. All of us got definitely much more from the Safari trip, than we expected before. This was a real lifetime experience. If I could give 6 star, I would! I recommend this lovely and caring team to every adventure-seeker.
