Good as a whole
Tour was good, we saw lots of animals. Did not like the off road driving, it has a detrimental affect on the environment.

Good
Very fun seeing the animals and very nice guide. Very sad to see so many of the safari cars drive off road, horrible. Informative and great trip!

Engaged and knowledgeable
The experience was great! The food and accommodation were excellent and unique. The drives in Maasai Mara were splendid and our guide was very considerate of our wants and needs. The only drawback I felt was the off-road driving. It seems to be clear that such activity is strictly forbidden in the park, but most of the drivers seemed to disregard the rule in favour of “enhancing” the experience by seeing more mammals. This is far from being bound to only our guide and company, but rather a negative culture that has developed among the safari community.

Good!
Overall, we had a very good experience with Suricata Safaris. The highlights of the trip were the incredible wildlife sightings and the quality of the staff. We saw a large number of animals from very close distances, and our guide, Melita, did an excellent job positioning the vehicle and sharing information throughout the safari. He was also very friendly and professional. Lucas, our cook, prepared delicious meals during the trip and exceeded our expectations.
On the downside, the safari vehicle was not particularly comfortable, although it seemed that most tour operators use very similar vehicles. My main disappointment was with the accommodation on the second night of the 3-day Middle Camp safari. The first camp was excellent, with a great tent and a fantastic overall experience. However, the second accommodation was outside the reserve, about an hour from the entrance gate, which meant extra travel time. The hotel itself was average, the window in our room would not close properly, and we experienced problems with the hot water.
Despite these issues, the safari itself was memorable and well organized. The amazing wildlife, the guide, and the food made the experience worthwhile. The only aspect that significantly disappointed us was the quality and location of the second accommodation.

Very good expe⁸rience
We had a 3-day camping safari experience and it was truly an incredible experience, mainly because we were able to see all the animals up close. I have to thank Melita, our guide, and our chef, who did an excellent job. One allowed us to see all the animals and explained every detail, and the other prepared all the meals with great care, always serving appetizing food. Overall, the experience was very good; the campsites have an incredible atmosphere and provide an experience side-by-side with wild animals. I only feel that some things could be improved, namely the conditions of the campsite bathroom. On the first day, there was no toilet paper.

Amazing experience
Very good experience. The trip to Serengeti is a bit long. But the guide and driver Melita, very experienced, always found various wild animals quickly. Very good!The first campsite was in a fantastic location, but the facilities could have been a bit better. The same was true for the second campsite.I would like to highlight the head chef Lucas, very simple but careful, and he cooked very well, despite the limitations of the conditions. I really liked the head chef, Lucas.The guide Melita was very helpful.
