Ask for Max as your tour guide! - Max was the best tour guide we could get! He was patiant with us, answered all our questions, and guided us with stady hands and experience. We saw all the Big Five and so many other animals, because he knew when and where is the best place to be. Thank you for the Suricata Team for organazing out safari vacation, and thank you Max to execute it perfectly. Beautiful accomodation, great chef, breathtaking view, cute animals and friendly hosts.

Amazing Safari with experienced guide - It was a wonderful trip with Max, would absolutely recommend!
It was my first safari, and Max was an attentive and very experienced guide. He helped to spot many animals, explained their behavior, answered any random questions about the animals. He organized our days, showed us a great (and not so touristy!) massai village. We managed to see all animals from the Big5, and many more. It was a once in a lifetimes experience, don’t hesitate to book with him!

Safisana - It was a wonderful experience. We have the best guide, Amiri. First, he is experienced. He always finds the best place to see wildlife in the first place, and introduces us to a variety of animals, plants, birds, and localities.
Moreover, he is thoughtful enough to notice the different preferences of each of us, such as different animals and plants. and guide us in finding the best way to shoot.
Finally, it is our desire to come to Tanzania to see animals, but the human connection in this land is paramount. Amiri proved that with his actions, when a car breaks down, everyone unites to solve the problem. We are delighted to have Amiri as our guide and we will always treasure the wonderful memories and precious friendships between us on this Trips.

Serengeti with Super-Max - Our 7 day adventure Safari did not let us down. We believe this is the right way of exploring the most famous Tanzanian National Parks with the Serengeti as absolute pinnacle. Unless you are time or budget restricted, take your time and do the 6 or 7 days tour to see all the beauty the parks have to offer! Our guide Max and chef Jeremiah were absolute stars.
Max is very patient, punctual and knowledgeable of the parks and the animals. He always has a plan! He will take you off the main roads to the areas with high likelihood of finding Cheetahs, Leopards or Rinos, everytime with success! You can also sense this is his passion. He gets as excited from spotting animals as we do! We also learned he is a celebrity in the Serengeti, everybody knows him and he is always eager to help everyone out! Jeremiah is a bush-cooking wonder. The variety of meals he puts on the table each morning, noon and evening is astonishing and goes far beyond your typical lunch box or bush cooked packaged spaghetti. Everyday a fresh meat or fish dish with plenty of rice/potatoes and veggies as well as now and then a bonus surprise dish :)) Both of them made sure every single detail of the trip was thought trough and went without a hitch. This also goes for the entire Suricata crew we have met along the way (Lewis, Bryson, Samson, Maleo, Mandela, etc) are friendly and very helpful, they form a real team when it comes to driving together, spotting together, cooking together, setting up camp together. It is truly a remarkable bunch of people.
Once more a big thank you to everyone who made our dream of seeing all these animals (including the big 5) up close , in real life come true and withness the great wildebeest migration first hand. These truly are memories for life!
This is purely based on the safari experience, utterly PERFECT. Outside the Safari, there are two things the company needs to address:
1. The Jevas hotel in the city center is not what safari-tourists are looking for. There are plenty of better alternatives on booking.com (e.g. Songota Falls Lodge) that make you feel at home and give you a place to relax in connection with nature before and after the Safari.
2. The employees in the city were unprofessional in the briefing. The main concerns were payment, tips and reviews. Not the experience which is a shame. It would be nicer to go through the itinerary again and what to expect during the journey.

Excellent experience! We saw the big five plus 4 different rhinos! - The experience was great from the beginning! We were guided by Ezekiel which was so patient and helpful. He made his best to give us an amazing experience, explained a lot about wildlife and culture. Besides he’s an excellent person, making the experience very pleasant.
We were also accompanied by James, a amazing cook, that did a numerous of delicious dishes, so good seasoned and presented.
The program we were offered was perfect, the car conditions were good and everything exceeded our expectations.
At the end of the tour, since our flight had changed, we were offered a hotel room for a shower and some rest before the transfer to the airport.

The best experience of my life! - We took the 7-day tour with Ezequiel and James!
The experience with Suricata Safari was great! They were very helpful and kind throughout the experience, from scheduling to the end of the Safari.
The tents we used at the camp were quite comfortable too!
Ezequiel is a very charismatic, kind and fun guide! He is very intelligent and was always willing to reach the best spots to ensure the best view of the animals. We got some great photos and saw the big 5. I definitely recommend Ezequiel as a guide!
James cooks wonderfully! Every day we had fresh, healthy, tasty and very filling food. Furthermore, he is very kind and made all the difference in our experience! You will definitely be surprised by it!
In short, I highly recommend Suricata Safari! I wish you much success!

Great and special Camping Safari w/ amazing guide and chef - Suricata was recommended to us and we really loved it.
Everything was well organized and we could really enjoy our time.
The camps we stayed at were great, in the parks we had always enough time to watch the animals and get some good pictures, the guide (Elias) could give us very good Information about the aninmals and plants, we always had lots of tasty food (thanks to Musa). We never felt like we had to rush and could really enjoy our time.
Absolute Highlight: Dinner w/ elephants walking near camp during sunset.
