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.

Amazing Safari your company that you won’t regret
I’m not one for your operators but from booking to send off, African big cats safaris displayed excellent communication and professionalism. Emmanuel the director was attentive and met us for a pre Safari briefing, explained all the necessary details needed for an enjoyable experience. The accommodations and food were top notch. Our guide Moses above being an excellent human being he is experienced and has a phd in Safari. He was adaptable to our situations and went out of our way to ensure we had a world class experience and that we stayed safe and out of peril. I must say that abcs is a world class operation with a Tanzanian flare.

Most comprehensive well-organized safari ever taken
Bluecrane organized a city tour and safari for some VIP visitors. The planning and organization of the trip was superb. They were both efficient and reliable and that's exactly what you want on a good tour. I've been on a lot of safaris but this is by far was the best. Derek and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, professional and provided exceptional customer service. We lacked for nothing. The entire group enjoyed everything about Bluecrane without exception. Highly recommend without any reservations whatsoever. You can't go wrong with Bluecrane.

Amazong Experience with Suricata Safaris!
Suricata was absolutely amazing! They picked us uo from the airport and brought us to our hotel for the night before starting the Safari.
We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area. And the Ngorongoro crater.
Our guide Mandela was absolutely amazing, he was so knowledgeable and was a joy to be around! We learned so much from him and he was so good at spotting the animals that we were trying to see.
The accomodations were absolutely amazing, I didn't know what to expect going into this Safari and I was absolutely blown away by the experience.
Suricata went absolutely above and beyond! 10/10 would recommend a million times over!

5-day tented Safari
The 5-day safari was amazing. Tanzania is a beautiful country and has so much to offer. With regard to Suricata: Everything was arranged and fixed, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Max was the perfect guide who made this trip unforgettable. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see and made memories for a lifetime. Tito, our chef, cared for us the whole time. His food was amazing whether is was breakfast, lunch or dinner. The whole team is friendly and open-minded so we would choose suricata again any time.
Thanks again to the team and all the best for you!

They did a good follow up.
I did not do the safari directly with them. I was redirected to Suricatas. So I cannot say much about Swahili Paradise.

He has a vast knowledge of nature and good understanding to his tourists' needs.
Truly we were satisfied Thanks to Mr. Lincons for arranging our tour in such a way that we could see the wide variety of plants and Kenyan wildlife . We now love Kenya.

Amazing Safari
We had an amazing 4-day Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha safari, where we were able to see all the big 5!
This was obviously possible only thanks to our caring driver Aruni (Collins), who went the extra mile to ensure we all had a great experience and had a comfortable journey. He was very patient and kept making sure we were all happy with the itinerary and stops.
Also the overall booking and remote communication experience was seamless.
Definitely recommended and worth the price. Accommodation and food were also great (we chose mid range).

Amazing driver and guide
Had such an amazing safari experience doing the masai mara budget tent tour. The tents were quite basic but it added to the experience and actually enabled us to speak to some masai tribes people around a campfire which gave us such a great insight into their culture and how they interact with the animals. Our safari driver, Philip was amazing. He knew so much about the park, culture and animals, teaching us swahili words and bonding our group together which made the trip extra special. He found so many animals including leopards which are very rare. Also made sure we all had time to enjoy the animals when we stopped and could take good photos. Was a perfect safari experience. Only negative was that it said all drinking water was included but we had to ask for it initially and there was non provided at the camp so we had to buy some towards the end of the trip. Wouldn't have changed anything else though.
