Amazing team that want to give you the best experience possible
We booked a 3 night 4 day safari with suricata safari's and from the start it was a very easy straightforward process.
Hilary was always quick to respond to any questions we had and reassured us that we would have vegan food on the safari as me my husband and 2 teenage sons are strict vegans.
We were picked up from the airport and taken to gateway lodge ll for the night to a large room which was clean and spacious.
The next day we were picked up by James who put us all at ease straight away with his sense of humour and friendly personality.
Over the 4 days we visited tarangire national park, the Serengeti, and ngorongoro crater.
The amount of animals we saw was unbelievable and amazing to get so close to some of them, James was so knowledgeable about the animals and area and obviously has a lot of pride in his country and respect for the animals, he always got us right to the front of the action and stopped regularly for the best photo opportunities, he took us to the best places for lunch including a picnic under a big acacia tree in the Serengeti.
Tito our chef was amazing too, we were worried we wouldn't get vegan food as some places in Zanzibar didn't always understand that it's different from vegetarian but Tito checked all ingredients with us and made some amazing meals 3 times a day with huge portions, not sure how he managed it on the basic cooking equipment he had but the food was the best we had over the 3 weeks holiday.
The 3 campsites were fairly basic but mostly clean and comfortable and had great views, the tents were equipped with mattress, pillows and sleeping bags so were better than expected.
Hilary came to the hotel on our return to check how everything went and was pleased to hear that his team are doing a great job in making guests have the best safari experience possible.
If you're thinking of booking a safari then don't hesitate to book with suricata safari's, we would recommend them 100 percent.

TWO THUMBS UP!
We enjoyed a most fabulous safari with Adventure Purist. Christa was very accommodating in customizing the safari to our needs, dates and budget. Jacob was a fantastic game drive guide and went the extra mile in finding all the animals we came to see. And Moses, the chef, cooked the most wonderful meals. All the camps and lodges on this Adventure Purist safari exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend this company for a memorable safari adventure.

Amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience, literally one of the best experiences of my life. Truly moving and humbling experience. Thank you SURICATA SAFARI'S or should I say Asante sana.
My wife and I along with my two teenage sons recently finished our safari experience with SURICATA SAFARI'S. We arrived in Arusha and were met by a driver who picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel. We were pleased as staff were helpful, pleasant and the room was clean and spacious. We slept well.
The next morning we started our tour and were picked up from the hotel reception by James, our tour guide. We were greeted with a huge smile and infectious sense of humour which immediately settled any nerves and made us feel valued. The tour began immediately with James talking us through Arusha info and history en route to our first destination of Tarangire. Upon arrival we were met straight away by the best of African wildlife. Giraffe, zebra, elephant (including babies) playing at the water hole and lions feeding to name a few. It was amazing, that's all I can say. I'm not really the sentimental type but the scene actually moved me to tears.
This continued over all four days of the tour visiting Tarangire, Serengeti (both evening and early morning and the Ngorongoro crater. So many species, everywhere you look you see wildlife.
James was absolutely amazing as a guide, his knowledge of both the animals and areas are unbelievable. Such a funny, friendly and jovial guy. Both my wife, kids and I fell for his charm, wit and knowledge. I can't say enough. Incredible guide that went above and beyond to make our experience amazing.
Now let me talk about Tito, our chef for the duration of our safari. I need to mention that my wife, kids and I are all vegan and were a little worried what we'd get. We had spent 2 weeks in Zanzibar before coming to mainland Tanzania and found getting meals a little hit and miss. I just need to say that what Tito made for us was the best food of our entire holiday. So much flavour and creativeness, he never served us the same thing twice and cooked for us breakfast, lunch and dinner. How he served food of that quality with the cooking apparatus he has was truly incredible. Asante sana Tito.
If you are thinking about doing a safari, go for it. It's amazing, one of the best things I've ever done and I've travelled a fair amount (India, Caribbean, Costa Rica, Brazil and Vietnam to name a few).
The Tanzanian wildness is utterly breathtaking.

Jessica’s knowledge, passion and patience helped provide us a Tanzania Trip of a Lifetime!
Dancing Zebra Safari surpassed our expectations and provided an amazing experience which we will never forget. We began working with Jessica in 2019 to assist us with booking the right locations and route for our adventure through the Serengeti. She came up with an itinerary that would provide us variety, ample wildlife and the Great Migration. Life and the pandemic delayed our trip but, Jessica hung in there with us through re-bookings etc. and we were finally able to travel this year.
Jessica handled all bookings for our 12-Day trip, from detailed daily travel book, visa information, Lodges, in-country transfers, drivers and anything we needed during our stay. I felt we received great advice, recommendations, professionalism and superior service. Communication was exceptional and timely, accommodating with changes and happy to assist in a genuine way. She even arranged a private romantic congratulations dinner for us as we just got engaged to be married. We felt very well taken care of!
We spent time in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Eastern and Northern Serengeti National Park. Our Dancing Zebra driver, Edson, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the areas and wildlife. He was dedicated to finding every animal we wanted to see and committed to providing opportunities to position us just right for a great experience. He did his absolute best to ensure we saw the Big 5, found cheetahs, lion cubs, and many more. Not only were we lucky enough to witness the migration, we saw 5 Wildebeest crossings complete with Crocodiles!
The accommodations Jessica selected for us were simply amazing, with views, plunge pools, tasty food, great wine, wonderful staff and excellent service. The Lodges and Camps were perfectly positioned for what we wanted to accomplish and absolutely incredible. We could not have asked for anything better.
We had a fantastic trip, I would not change a thing and we are looking forward to going back some day with family. I highly recommend going to Tanzania and working with Jessica at Dancing Zebra Safari for your incredibly well-planned adventure. She is the best!

Tanzania is a beautiful country.
My visit was great in Tanzania. Safari trip was very special , see all the animals and feel the atmosphere. However the facilities on the camp was very old and dirty. People who work there were very friendly and food was quite good. ( not many variety but fresh and tasty

4 day 3 night safair in Masa Mari
Saw awesome wildlife. Just about everything I could ask for except for seeing a Rhino, which I hear is very rare. The team was very helpful in handling a small mix up and got me to the airport in plenty of time for international flight.
