Amazing 5 Days Great Safari Tour - The safari tour was excellent. we did see a lot of animals and enjoyed the lodges. our tour guide Freddy was amazing and is really an expert in wildlife. due to his knowledge and experience we did see a lot of wild animals and predators. We can recommend the 5 Days Great Safari tour without any doubts!

We Are All One Family Here - Emiri, our guide, began our time together by telling us "while we're together, we are one family." We shared meals, stayed in the same conditions at each lodge, and got to know each other, and he was very right. Our interactions with Emiri felt genuine. Emiri's passion for wildlife and the natural environment was inspiring. His ability to spot animals from a distance and provide interesting information about each species made the safari adventure unforgettable. Not only was he an expert guide, but he also prioritized the safety and comfort of our group throughout the journey. His sense of humor and enthusiasm added an extra layer of enjoyment to the trip. Suricata has achieved the one thing every great business strives for daily: maintaining enthusiastic and caring staff capable of cultivating customer relationships. That point of difference versus other companies we observed made our time with Suriciata seem like the best family road trip ever (without the arguments over how to read a map or who got the armrest). Suricata's staff even arranged an impromptu birthday celebration for me, and I was honored to share that moment with them and the other lodge guests. The quality of the meals provided, especially lunch, got some envious looks from other travelers. Food allergies aren't a problem; my wife and I both have them, and they were accommodated. Suricata's main office was always available to us before our departure and during our safari via WhatsApp. If you have questions or requests, then let them know on WhatsApp. Phone calls and emails were not as effective. We arranged our airport transfers with Suricata, and they were on time and attentive. We were also joined at our Arusha hotel by a Suricata representative the night before our departure and on our return. He answered any remaining questions we had about our itinerary and collected our feedback after the safari was done. Suricata's boma lodge was Tanzania-does-Tulum. Though it is still under construction and some on-site programs are in their infancy, I can see this property being in great demand as it improves. Both Ang'ata camps presented excellent hospitality in a classic safari style.

Amazing experience! - I did a lot of research before booking a safari, and I booked with Suricata because of the reviews. I am not at all disappointed! On the day I arrived my driver was waiting for me at the airport after a long flight that arrived at 2am, and he was incredibly helpful. My safari guide was Ezekiel. He was AMAZING. Very patient, kind, knowledgeable, and made sure our group saw the big 5! Our chef was Salim. He was incredible. The food he made every day was delicious, and one day he even made pizza-which I’m sure was challenging to make with no electricity. The hotel and lodges I stayed at were great! In the Serengeti and Crater they were tented lodging aka “glamping” which was a fun and unique experience. And my favorite was the Suricata Boma Lodge, where the staff is great, rooms are safari chic and comfortable. Overall this was a great experience!

if you want a wonderful experience - What a wonderful experience!!! From pick up at the airport, Mr T made our drive welcoming and comfortable. The hotels and tented lodges were exceptional with very attentive service, delicious local food, and breathtaking views. Amiry our tour guide was funny and very accommodating. We didn't know what we wanted to see but he made sure we saw cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, genets, hippos, and even a rhino!!! He had a lot of knowledge about the history and nature of each park we visited and even answered my nosey questions about Tanzanian life. Lastly, Glory was in contact with us our entire time from booking until arrival. Asanti Sana!!!! Much love from Wes and Noreen

A trip of a lifetime! - I had a fabulous safari experience; it far exceeded my expectations! The staff members everywhere were kind and available to help, but never intrusive. It was obvious they love what they do and work well as a team. Daniel met us at the hotel in Arusha and briefed us on what to expect. He later led us on a walking tour of his city, which he so obviously loves. The Seronara Wild Lodge at Serengeti, the Anga’ata Tented Lodge at Ngorogoro and The Suricata Boma Lodge were of high quality in all respects. The food was fresh and delicious. Tito, the chef for our outdoor lunches, made outstanding meals and our guide, Mandela, served them in style, tablecloth and all. Mandela is a guide extraordinaire: knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, humble, charming and inclusive. Oh yes, and a great driver! A huge thank you to Suricata for delivering a trip of a lifetime. I will recommend this to my family and friends!

Memorable Safari with Rocky! - The tour with Rocky was awesome. He was very memorable as far as keeping us entertained throughout the journey. He also knew the right places to go and is very well connected with the other guides. Very lucky to have been paired up with Rocky, and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is professional the whole time, yet a lot of fun. Thank you Rocky!

Amazing safari - The safari was amazing. It’s my 5th Safari with Suricata and every time it’s gets better. Our guide Rocky was really good, he has good knowledge about the animals especially the birds. We spotted some rare animals too, which we were all happy about. We stayed in lodges and the beds were super comfortable. The food was very tasty. The whole atmosphere was amazing. We enjoyed the fire in the evening. We had a lot of fun with the stuff from the lodges. For lunches we stoped in 5* bush restaurants. Rocky selected the best places to have our meals. I would highly recommend Suricata and Rocky as a guide.

100% the best safari - The service from Meerkat Safaris was excellent. The day before starting the safari we received a briefing from Daniel with all the details. Additionally, we took a city tour of Arusha with Chuke. It was a really local tour, visiting the market, a tuk tuk tour and we even went up to a rooftop for the best view of the city. We did the safari with Rocky, the best guide, very friendly, with great knowledge of the parks and the different species. We toured Tangarire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. An unforgettable experience for the whole family. The stay at Suricata Boma Lodge was spectacular, with very friendly staff willing to make the visit incredible. Very good food prepared by chef Thomas. 100% recommended to do this trip with Suricata Safaris. If I go on safari again, without a doubt it would be with them. It is difficult to choose between so many safari companies. Look no further than Suricata Safaris.

Best experience with suricata safari - What a trip it has been. We are just back from our 5 day safari and I am still speechless. We had the best experience which started with a friendly pickup at the airport and ended with a mind full of great memories. Our guide Mandela took very good care of us. He showed us the beauty of his country, answered our endless questions and spotted tons of animals for us. The accommodations were really great (maybe the accommodation in Arusha could be improved), the food was delishes (thanks to chef Tom and the chefs of the accommodation) and the service (suricata staff and staff of hotel) was excellent and super friendly. Thank you Suricata team for making this safari so special.

SURICATA SAFARIS – A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE! - SURICATA SAFARIS – A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE! We had an amazing experience during our 5-day safari tour with Suricata Safaris. Our family of four, including my wife and two children (ages 18 and 12) were treated with a high level of personal care and attention. Our safari included amazing experiences at Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Excellent Pre-Trip & Arrival Communication: Suricata’s owner Hilary Chrispine was in regular contact with us from the time we booked the trip almost 12 months in advance to help with our planning. He was always responsive and provided us the specific information we needed as we planned for this special trip. Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything ran flawlessly. Our pickup from Arusha airport was on time and when we arrived at our first stay, we had a personal briefing with Tawlib, one of the Suricata’s directors who outlined the specific plans for each of the five days. Amazing Safari Guide / Driver: We began our safari with Ezekiel, an incredible safari guide and driver with a top-quality truck, who became part of our family over the course of the week. Ezekiel was very knowledgeable of the history of the parks we visited, the animals we were seeing, and most importantly the terrain of how to get us to the best locations to see all the wildlife we could see. Over the course of our safari, we not only saw all the big five multiple times (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhino), but also more rare animals including families of cheetahs, hyenas, eagles, hippos, impalas, zebras, baboons and many more. During our game drives, Ezekiel was always very calm, patient, and accommodating to anything we needed, and made the experience a lot of fun for our children. Wonderful Lodges & Stays: We also enjoyed the stays at the great lodges and camps along the route. The Suricata Boma Lodge, a brand-new resort built within the last year, was top notch as it boasted incredible views of Lake Manyara. The high-end resort had a beautiful swimming pool and activity area as well as delicious food that was customized to our dietary needs. The Angata tented camps in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservancy Park were also a great, safe, rustic experience with warm and hospitable staff in the heart of the wilderness. Delicious Meals: The meals each day were also excellent. We had hot breakfasts each morning with ample choices of meats, breads and fresh fruit. During the day, while on safari, we had hot lunches that were freshly made each day (whereas we noticed other safari groups had packed lunch bags with much less appealing options). Dinners also were excellent and freshly prepared to meet our dietary needs. One afternoon Ezekiel took us to a special location where we had a picnic in an area where we were able to meet and spend some time with local Masai children. Kilimanjaro & Materuni Falls: In addition to the 5-day safari, my son and I also went to Materuni Falls to see Mt. Kilimanjaro and experience more of the local Tanzanian culture. Tawlib was our wonderful guide who took great care in driving us to and leading us to the falls (about 2 hours from Arusha) and making sure we had a great experience, despite running into a brief but memorable rain shower. The hike was incredible as we walked through beautiful forest and were welcomed by the stunning falls at the end of the hike. We also spent time at a local village, having a homemade meal prepared by the local residents, and who also shared their special coffee making process. We also were very lucky to see great views of Kilimanjaro on our way to and from this day trip add-on excursion. Given the numerous safari tour operators in the area, we would highly recommend choosing Suricata Safaris as they truly take personal customer service and attention to detail to the next level. We hope to come back again and re-use their services!
