A very special experience in the all-round carefree package! - Our safari lasted 5 days and took us through four beautiful and totally diverse national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We started in late October/early November and were very lucky with timing and weather. The main season was over, so the number of jeeps was manageable, and the rainy season had not yet begun. Small bonus: quite a few of the animals we saw had their young with them. In addition to the breathtaking nature and impressive wildlife, the smooth organization and the dedicated team made sure that we could feel completely comfortable. Our guide Elias, who always made sure that we could see numerous animals and definitely the Big Five; in whose car we always felt safe despite one or the other tyre breakdown. Our chef Pius, who provided us three times a day with super delicious, always freshly prepared meals; baked fresh bread in the morning and brought cool cola at lunch. Daniel, who came to visit us the night before and after the safari at our hostel to answer open questions. And the helpful helpers who made sure the tents were already up when we arrived at the campsites. We really didn't miss anything, big thank you to the Suricata Safaris team!:)

Fantastic safari in Tansania - We had a great safari with Surricata. From the booking process to the end of the safari, everything was perfectly organized. Picked up at the airport on time and brought back to the bus station at the end. Special thanks to Lewis our guide during the safari. He took a lot of time to show us all the animals and was also able to explain a lot with great knowledge. The food during the safari was very local and freshly prepared. We added a night at Surricata Boma Lodge to our safari and this lodge was really fantastic. I can highly recommend Surricata Safaris.

G TO G ! By my brother Damian - We were greeted in Arusha by Daniel, a very friendly guy who introduced us to the 5-day Safari briefing in the Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Manyara lake national parks. What about unique experience! After the first night at the hotel in Arusha we went to Tarangire , a beautiful park where we were immediately greeted by numerous zebras and elephants (many other animals) and then went to sleep the second night at the Suricata booma lodge , I think the most beautiful place where I have ever slept in my life . Really lovely place in front of the view of Lake Manyara. The following day we headed to the gate of Ngorongoro national park where we immediately continued to the second gate of Serengeti ... indescribable place, you have to go there to understand how spectacular it is. We spent two days in the two parks and then spent the last day at Lake Manyara. Surreal and very suggestive experience. As for the guide Damian there is not much to say , after the 5 days of Safari now he is like a brother , super nice and helpful at all times of Safari , very competent and capable in his role . Another important member of the crew is the chef Tito, a guy who will make you feel at home with his cuisine and delicious dishes. Experience absolutely to do with Suricata Safaris! G to G !! Karibo healthy to all staff, Hakuna Matata!

Singing across Serengeti and getting the Big 5! 🐆 - Suricata Safari was an absolutely perfect match for our trip. We had the opportunity to see everything we wanted and beyond. Damien was an incredible guide to us, knowing where the animals could be and actually giving us the chance to see the big 5, although it’s always a matter of luck. Besides that, he brought an endless positive energy to the group, singing with us in the way, and always adapting to what we wanted. The food provided by James gave us different flavors every day, and he would be kind enough to fit our needs and our taste. Always better to see the sights with a happy stomach. Also the tents were very clean, neat and prepared as soon as we got to a camp. We decided to go with Suricata Safari because of a recommendation from a friend and I do thank her a lot for that!

Amazing Safari with Camping - We had 5 wonderful days, Damien is a very friendly and funny guide. James was the cook and the food was great, we had a fresh meal everytime during safari. Camping in Serengueti was a very unique experience, thanks to Maleo who made sure our tents and conditions were good! Besides, we were lucky enough to see the great migration and the big five! :')

An unforgettable experience... - We looked at several safari operators while planning this trip and I am so glad that we chose Suricata! We opted for the 5 day group safari and Tizia was wonderful getting everything organized, including airport pickup and all accommodations. After our arrival in Arusha, Mr. T of Suricata came to brief us on the program and to answer any questions that we still had. Our trip was in November, start of the "small" rainy season. We were lucky and had only little rain, hardly at all during the days. Star of the show was our guide Ezekiel. He is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable guide, and answered all our questions about animals and plants large and small and anything else that we wanted to know. In so many cases he was one step ahead of the rest, getting us perfect viewing of the animals. We were extremely fortunate and managed to see all of the big five. The accommodations in the lodges were spectacular - two nights at Suricata's own sensational Boma Lodge for our forays into Tangarire and Manyara, and then one night each at TBC Serengeti and Kuhama Ngorongoro for our game drives in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Each of the parks offered something a bit different, and we were extremely fortunate to see all of the big five. The landscape in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater are just spectacular. The food on our trip was fabulous and each meal included vegetarian options. Our car was in top condition, it seats seven passengers (though we were generally between 4 and 6 passengers plus our guide Ezekiel). There are plugs to load phones and power banks. Thank you to the Suricata team and especially to Ezekiel for an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience - Incredible experience! Perfect organization with people who make it even better such as our guides Lewis and Elias and our chef Tito (amazing food for all 5 days). There was nothing to claim. Strongly recommended.

Life Changing Safari! - We had an excellent experience with Suricata Safaris! We booked the group camping option and enjoyed everyone we toured with! Chief Pius was top notch, providing delicious food three times a day. Our guide Mandela was very knowledgeable and very good at spotting animals. He was an excellent driver and really experienced in knowing where to park to get the best views and photos. We felt very well taken care of and informed throughout the trip. Each of the parks offered something special. Highlights of the Serengeti included a Leopard climbing down from a tree in front of us and a mother Cheetah with her cub. We were able to spot a Rino in the Ngorongoro Crater and witnessed a monitor lizard compete with a lion for a dead hippo in Lake Manyara. We had very special moments with many elephants in both Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks and we witnessed lions in their natural element in all the parks. The tour was very well organized and stress free. Would highly recommend!

Amazing safari with Fredie - We had the best 5 day group safari with Suricata Safari. From start to finish we could not have asked for more. Fredie our tour guide was brilliant! We managed to see all of the big 5 plus much much more! Booking the tour was simple and any questions were answered straight away. We got picked up from the airport and dropped back to the airport, everything is organised which was great! After getting dropped off at our hotel in Arusha, we got briefed by Mr. T on what we will be doing on Safari and again answered any questions we had. He also arranged an Arusha city tour that evening because we arrived early which was really worth while doing if you have time. Daniel showed us around the city for over 2 hours, gave us some great local insights and took us to a few cool viewpoints. One word of advice for the entire trip is to bring cash, mostly USD but also some Tanzanian Shillings, locals prefer shillings for smaller items including anything you purchase in hotels and lodges at night. We changed USD to Tanzanian Shillings during the Arusha city tour which worked out a very good rate. We went on the tour in November which was the start of the short wet season and a quieter time of the year for tours. We only had a few rain showers mostly overnight and never needed our coats, it did get chilly overnight while staying at the top of Ngorongoro crater but the accommodation even provided hot water bottles for everyone. Our safari started by being picked up by our tour guide Fredie who we cannot praise enough during the entire safari. He was soo friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and areas we visited. Like all of the safari tour guides, it was really obvious how much he cared about the animals. He was a great driver making sure we were comfortable driving along the rough roads while chatting to everyone answering questions and explaining everything while also spotting the animals for us. Even with us standing looking out the top of the jeep for animals, Fredie still managed to spot them first and point everything out to us! We visited Taranguire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks which all had something different to bring to the Safari experience. There are some long drives but always things to see along the way and early starts but they are worth it to have more of an opportunity to see more animals. The accomodations that we stayed at for the entire trip were amazing, staff were so friendly and rooms really comfy. The permanent tented lodges at Serengeti and Ngorongoro were such an experience but I think the highlight of the accomodation was the nights we stayed in Suricata Boma!! We got 3 freshly cooked meals each day, even for lunch at picnic spots. I read other reviews that said other companies give out lunch boxes and we seen this ourselves. Some days we were the only tour group with a cooked lunch! We had such a great time for our first time on Safari and would highly recommend Suricata tours!

The most amazing safari experience with Suricata Safaris - An experience I will never forget! Me and my husband booked a 5 day safari trip and it was simply amazing. Our driver Elias was sooo goood! He was so patient and he always made sure we took plenty of bathroom breaks, so we were comfortable the hole time. He had answers for all of our questions. He also knew all the best places to spot the animals. We were lucky enough to see all the big 5 in our trip. We also saw, what I would call a once in a lifetime experience, 5 lions hunting a buffalo. Elias was so passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience with us. We were so lucky to have him as our driver and guide. He was so kind, and funny! The accommodation was also very good. We stayed 2 nights at Suricata Boma Lodge and 2 nights in tented lodges, one in Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. There is a bathroom with a shower in every tent, with hot water. Everything was perfect. Very clean! The people were so welcoming and friendly and the food was great. They also take care of airport transfers from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, and they offer accommodation for the night before and after the trip. We didn’t have to worry about anything. If you are looking for a sign to book this trip, this is it! I really recommend Suricata Safari! We had the time of your lives!
