Wonderful safari
We had a great time with our guide Ezekiel. He and the chef did a great job - everything was excellent.
We actually saw the big 5 (Ezekiel promised us) and we loved to hear him talking about the wildlife and the animals.
We booked the 5 days Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tangire).
Unfortunately are the restrooms / washrooms on the campinggrounds horrible! - But that is not Suricatas fault!
I would totally recommendend this company! Thanks to all - especially Ezekiel my Bro:)

Affordable, experienced, safe, amazing, delicious, friendly
Wow! What a great safari! Last week we went on a 2 day tour to tarengire and Ngorongoro crater, with Ezekiel. This was a safari to remember. Ezekiel was so friendly, informative and made the trip! We were able to see all of the big 5, and felt so safe at every point!
Then we went on a 4 day trip with Freddy, who was so friendly and informative also. We had some other difficult customers with us (not in our party) who Freddy delt with so professionally and calmly. Again we saw the big 5 again and Freddy got us to the best viewing points.
Everyone in this company works so hard and provides such a high quality service and rock bottom prices. Hilary went above and beyond to come and talk to us at our lodge, and was so passionate that he istanly won us over! He also went above and beyond to help us at every point, including let us use a hotel room to shower and change before our flights.
Such lovely men who clearly work very hard!! I was also so impressed by both chefs, outstanding food every time!
Can’t recommend them any higher!!

Amazing Safari experience
I went with my father on a 3 night, 4 days trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. What a beautiful experience.
Before arriving to Tanzania, Hilary fixed accomadation, pick up and drop off from airport. He was very flexible which makes a big difference.
On the Safari we had a experienced driver with so much knowledge. Every question we asked he knew the answer. Very patient and not rushing at all. Everything was "Hakuna Matata"
We saw so many different animals and all the "Big Five"
Thanks for everything Suricata!

Could not be better! Friendly, Professional, safe, Interesting, Enjoyable ...
We did 4 days 3 nights at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the first contact and the booking, from pickup at the airport to even support after our departure everything was not only professional, but also very polite, friendly and considerately. WIth Fredrick we had prosumably the best driver, guide and spotter in this business. Can't remember one road hole he did not see in time (and there were millions) and we always felt save. He showed us beautiful places, spottet all the animals others assumably are still looking for, explained each and every detail and answered any question - and there were many, because we are a family of 5. Dionys, our Chef and Master of stomach managed it to serve us wonderful varying menues every day. Always at least 3 delicious courses - no idea how he managed this with his camping kitchen ... The suricata management is very friendly and certain and 100% available. We expected to have some really exciting days in a wonderful nature. What we got was much more, breathtaking, unforgettable ... Thanks to Suricata

Amazing!
We’ve just finished a 4 day, 3 night safari with Mandela. I had read lots of great reviews before I went on safari and still it exceeded expectations!
Hilary was great at organising everything for us including collection from airport and a night in Arusha before the safari. Mandela and Sidé were amazing! Food was great. I don’t know how it’s possible but Mandela could see animals better while driving than we could with binoculars! We saw the big 5 and lots of other amazing animals. There’s lots and lots of driving but Mandela kept us entertained with stories and facts about the animals. Definitely recommend a trip to Massai village if possible (don’t let them rip you off! They tried to sell us Jewlery for 10 times the price as in local markets)
These Suricata guys are local (we drove past the village where Mandela grew up) young, fun and professional with lots of experience and I would definitely support them over the bigger tours. The are always smiling and more than happy to help.
The campsites are basic so make sure to bring a warm sleeping bag (and layers if going to ngorongoro) plenty of your own toilet roll and a torch. Don’t expect warm water or access to chargers. Camping was really fun and made it an even better experience! if you found the service as good as we did, don’t forget to tip the guide and cook! At first we thought it sounded expensive but taking park fees (really expensive), food, fuel and overnight stays into account it was actually great value and cheaper than other tours around.
If you get a chance go to the central market in Arusha for a look around - it’s a crazy but wonderful place! We also got a local taxi to the coffee lodge in Arusha for breakfast after safari which was excellent!
Oh and I highly recommend bringing some beers or wine with you if you’re the type of person who enjoys a beer after a long day driving!
Amazing
They were very good guides. Specially Hilary and his friend Fredric

The trip of a lifetime!!
My friend and I did a 4 day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire and it was amazing!!! We were first time travelers to Africa and weren't quite sure what to expect, but from the moment we landed to the time we got dropped off, we felt so comfortable, safe, and had an incredible time!! We arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport and our guide Frederick was there to pick us up with a sign and take us to the hotel in Arusha, then we started the safari the next day. The scenery was just out of this world and we saw so many animals! The camping was comfortable and the food was pretty good. We've traveled to lots of places, but Africa is just unlike anything else. We were very happy we chose Suricata as our safari company, they made this the trip of a lifetime!

One of my greatest ever weeks.
This safari trip was amazing due to a number of different aspects. The wildlife was incredible, it seemed like you saw something new around every corner. The parks that you visit on this trip are well managed and each have different wildlife which adds variety to the trip. Ezekiel was our guide for the safari, he is a great person and was very knowledgeable about the animals and drove very well. Thank you Ezekiel. Everything on the trip was well organised and ran smoothly throughout. The food throughout the journey was also very tasty. I would recommend suricata safaris to anyone. Would love to return in the future.

SuperSafari Trip
I made a 6 day safaritrip with Suritaca Safaris and It was an excellent trip. My guide was Ezequier and also a cook went with us. We visited the Serengeti, the caldera of ngorongoro, the national park of Tiangare and the national park of Lake Manjare. Our guide Ezequier could tell us many interesting stories and facts about the wildlife as he was studying the tanzanian wildlife at the university. I could learn a lot about nature and also about myself and what the sentence “survival of the strongest” really means.
