We had a wonderful four days!!!!
We had a wonderful four days!!!!
When we first arrived in Arusha, we were greeted by Irfan. We asked him to take us to a few places. He was really attentive. Our safari was supposed to be four days and three nights. Before arriving, I had two concerns. One was about the cleanliness of the campsites. However, it was very, very clean. 👌 Second, I wasn't sure I'd like the food. Our chef prepared us some wonderful meals. 😋 Before and after our Arusha safari, we stayed at the Jevas Hotel, where Obby from Suricata met us. The hotel was really clean, comfortable, and the breakfast was good. On the last evening, Dennis came to visit and got feedback on how we had spent the four days. That was really nice. Suricata was always there for me throughout my stay. Everything went flawlessly from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Suricata. Thank you. 🤍

Amazing safari with Lewis and James
Lewis was our guide and James our chef for our family safari. They were both excellent and made this trip the holiday of a lifetime we had hoped for.
Lewis is knowledgeable, interesting, easy-going, organised and extremely hard working. We have a lot to thank him for. How James manages to produce varied and really tasty food (and masses of it) in pretty basic conditions, is beyond me. We really appreciate them both and would happily recommend them to anyone lucky enough to get them on their tour.

Amazing and funny
Our Tourguide (Melita) was really friendly and amazing. He could answer all questions we had. We saw all animals (except the rhino). Our travellergroup was really funny and amazing, too.

Unforgettable safari with Suricata – beyond anything we imagined!
Our 6-day safari with Suricata Safaris was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences you never forget — and honestly, it’s hard to describe with words. The connection with wildlife was so real, so raw… seeing lions just meters away, watching elephants stroll past us, the sunsets over the Serengeti — it felt like living inside a nature documentary.
From the very beginning, the Suricata team made everything smooth and easy.
⭐️ Grace helped us with the booking process and planning — super kind, helpful, and always patient with our questions.
📍 At arrival, Daniel welcomed us and walked us through the full itinerary in such a clear and friendly way that we felt instantly at ease.
🚗 And Adam, our guide and driver for the entire safari — what a gem! He was knowledgeable, fun, and always made sure we were safe, comfortable, and in the right spot at the right time. Honestly, Adam made our trip 10x better.
We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro conservation area and crater — every place had something magical. We stayed in Boma Suricata Lodge and Tortilis Camp, both amazing in their own way — cozy, well-located, and with that special feeling of being in the heart of nature.
After the safari, we ended our adventure in Zanzibar, relaxing on its stunning beaches — the perfect way to wind down after so many incredible moments.
If you’re thinking of doing a safari in Tanzania, don’t think twice — Suricata Safaris will give you not just a trip, but a life experience. We’re beyond grateful!

A safari experience that will leave you with so many special memories
I am not quite sure I can sum up my experience in a couple sentences, but I could not recommend Suricata Safaris more! They truly were the best! Our safari guide Rocky was so knowledgeable about the history of the national parks and the animals who call these parks home. His energy was contagious and kept us engaged and laughing. We were able to see the Big 5 and tons of lions, elephants, zebras, hippos up close. In addition to the animals, the food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was just spectacular, thanks to our chef Tito. Each meal was packed with flavor and local spices, with fresh fish, pilau, fruit, and much more. You won't regret booking with Suricata Safaris, I would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfection in details
I must say, much before my tour even started Suricata was on top of thier game. They responded to every query and every doubt I had very diligently. Special mention to M/s. Glory John who was always eager to clarify any doubts and queries I had.
From the time I landed at the airport till they dropped me back to the airport, Suricata staff took care of every little details. The hotels and food were very good. Guides were very experienced. They were excellent and patient.
Overall my experience with Suricata was marvelous. The safari itself was a great adventure.

Great safari experience: 10/10
We just came back from an amazing 4-day safari tour! We are still deeply impressed by the landscape and animals but also very glad for the people we have meet and friends we have found along the way!
The safari was well organized starting from the booking and emails, airport pick up and hotel transfer. Daniel did a great briefing and made sure we were well prepared.
We also did a walking tour with Kevin the first day in Arusha, exploring the city and the local market - learning a lot about culture and local dishes.
Then we had 4 action packed days with our great tour guide Lewis. He does not only know the best places to spot animals (lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetah, hippos, buffalo, serval cat and many more - often including sweet babies) but Lewis was also super funny and shared lots of information about the animals, history of the Maasai and Tanzania. Our small group was a super team and this really added to the experience! Lewis made sure that everyone felt welcome and had a great time. We can definitely recommend Suricata Safari, especially our guide Lewis and will come back one day!
Asante sana ❤️

Incredible experience
Amazing experience with Surictata company
On my arrival, they arranged the transfer to the hotel from the JRO airport. And the accommodation was great, the staff there were lovely.
On the day of my arrival Daniel guided me through the streets of Arusha.
On the next day, the safari started. I’m grateful for the people I met in our group.
Special thanks to Damian, our guide, and James, our cook. We were lucky to see all the big five amongst other beautiful birds and mammals (elan, antelopes, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras etc.). The food as well was incredible and tasty and the tents were comfortable. Great experience also at the Masai village.
It was an incredible and amazing experience to not miss while in Tanzania.
Thanks also to Felix, our guide to Tarangire.
The staff is amazing and they’ll do their best to ensure you have a great time.
Asante sana!

An incredible safari experience that I will dream of for years to come.
Really could not of wished for a better time, just incredible!
We saw so many amazing animals!
5 Rinos!!
Felix our guide was brilliant, friendly knowledgeable and fun, it was really interesting talking to him about the Maasai tribe. Rachel has been on two other safaris in Tanzania and said that he was the best yet and will definitely rebook with him!
Food was delicious, Jeremiah cooked a variety of flavour filled swahili dishes and the whole group really enjoyed.
Camping amongst nature and hearing the sounds of animals while you drift to sleep was a real experience.
Amazing value for money I would highly recommend Felix and the Suracata Safari team for your safari experience
Asante sana
