Reliable and good cost performance tour - All experiences were perfect. The guide, Gelard has a lot of knowledge and did everything for us throughout the five days.We saw much animals in spite of small rain season. All the people we met in this tour were really kind. Especially beyond my expectation, the food and accomondation were really good. That was really good cost performance. And as Japanese people, it was surprising that people were asked for tips less often than in other countries. 総じてすごくいいツアーでした。

A much bigger experience than just seeing the Big-5 - We made this trip from 12-16 November 2025 and if we had to do it again we would again choose Suricata Safari. First of all, we would like to share that we had a delay with the connecting flights, which forced us to lose a day in Tanzania. We immediately thought that the experience would be compromised, but the Suricata team carried out all the necessary diligences, with the proper changes of stays and routes, and it was possible to complete the entire activity, despite the downtime. Thank you very much to Mr. Ayman for all the help provided. Already in Tanzania, we would like to thank the team that received us on the first day, as the passage through the immigration department was very long, so we took almost 2 hours to leave the airport. Despite the delay, at the exit from the airport, there was a collaborator from Suricata to take us to the first accommodation, which promptly welcomed us so late and always with a smile. As for the safari, that was all we expected. The jeep, fantastic. Our guide Amiri, calm and fun. Perspective and attentive. He was able to adapt to the circumstances and provide the group with the best experience. With an incredible sight, I could see animals in the most unlikely places. He had a good instinct, always made us feel safe and knew how to read the group: when to make breaks and when to refer the group for time optimization. Amiri had knowledge not only about the fauna of the parks, but also about the surrounding flora, which helped to perceive the whole environment that surrounded us. We recommend the 5 day experience as the parks are all different from each other, there are more demanding days in terms of travel distance and others more relaxed, which completes the whole experience very well. Amiri, thank you again. We would like to recall that during every day of the safari we always had bottled water available, refrigerator in the jeep and hot food cooked by our chef (who accompanied us throughout the 5 days). Our congratulations to the chef, we thought the name was “Piurs”, because all the meals were quite tasty and in good quantity. About the accommodation, nothing to point out. We chose to sleep in lodge, but in the group we had people who slept in the “camping site”, who also loved the experience. All our accommodations were comfortable, with hot water available and above-average feeding. Helpful and available staff. In our opinion, it is mandatory to stay in one of these places inside the parks: listening to the hyenas at night while inside the tent is a memorable experience. For all this, thank you very much to the whole team. A lot of people passed by who we don’t know the name but who had a huge impact for everything to go as expected. Everyone, thank you so much. Votes of greater success.

A wonderful Safari experience. - We had a fabulous experience and saw a lot of animals in each of the national parks. The guide Melita was very knowledgeable and helpful, which made our trip very enjoyable. The accommodations were very good, especially at the Suracata Boma Lodge, and Simba in the Serengeti. Overall, the staff service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this agency for your future travels. They think of everything.

Incredible 5-Day Safari Experience with Suricata Safaris! - We did the 5-day mid-range safari back in October, visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and the experience was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Amiri, was exceptional and truly made the trip unforgettable. His ability to spot animals from miles away was incredible — we got to see so many animals up close, some of which we never imagined we’d encounter in the wild. The whole experience, from the communication with the company to the accommodations, food, and organization, was flawless. Everything was well thought out, and we felt truly cared for throughout the trip. A safari has always been a dream of mine, but I never thought I’d have the opportunity to experience it in such a spectacular way. I’m so glad I chose Suricata Safaris for this adventure — it’s been the trip of a lifetime, and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable safari journey.

Highly recommend - Our 4-day safari was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Lewis, was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was very knowledgeable and always made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip. Everyone involved put in so much effort to make everything perfect — from the organization to all the small details. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which made the experience even more special! A big thank-you also goes to our cook, Pius, who prepared delicious meals for us every single day. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable, and beautifully located. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that we would recommend to anyone, anytime!

Excellent and seamless safari - We went on a 5-day safari with a group of 7 that include my parents and siblings (ages 30-75). After reaching out to Suricata with our information and rough requirements, everything was so smooth. They responded promptly with a very reasonable quote, helped us finalize the length, dates, and locations and then we were all set. Literally all we had to do from that point was show up at the airport and we were taken care of. Neema was excellent to work with and highly responsive. The safari itself well exceeded our expectations. Freddy, our guide, was friendly, organized, knowledgeable (about everything even beyond just the wildlife), and was able to tailor the experience to our group’s needs. The lodging and food were great at every stop. We had several vegetarians and were able to have delicious and varied meals. Overall this trip was like a dream come true. If you want to worry about nothing and simply enjoy an incredible safari experience, book with Suricata.

Fantastic safari tour for 5 nights plus 2 nights in arusha - Our trip started with pick up in kilimanjaro Airport to kibo palace in arusha.. following day we was picked up by our guide Gerald to go start our trip on safari.. we had Gerald for our full 5 days and what a great guide he is. Really knowledgeable about everything and all the animals too.. I could go on about everything we seen but not enough room to write so ill keep it short... we managed to see the elusive leopards for the first 3 days every day that was great even 1 coming down a tree.. every day we seen lions elephants buffalo and lots of other animals.. a few times we also got to see prides of lions with babies and also cheetah's too with babies.. final day we got to see the rhinos in the nograngoro crater so that gave us our view of the big 5. Overall I would definitely recommend suricata safaris to anyone that wants a great experience. Everything was great straight from pick up at airport to dropping back off there too.. Accommodation was excellent also and food was good too..

Wide smile - Amazing experience, dreamt for a long long time finally became reality! We were every day surprised about new day had to come to share this wonderful trip with our guide and the new companions we never expected to see so many animals and feel them so close to us We were part of their wild life with all respect they need. For sure an adventure, really meaning it, but every night you go to sleep wearing a big smile

Loved it! - Go ahead and book this! We loved every minute of it. Lodgings comfortable, food good, and excellent logistics with quick responses to questions. The whole team was also incredibly kind. Would recommend to anyone and would go again. 5 days was an excellent length that allowed us to see a wide range of animals and landscapes. One thing to note - every day there is about 2-3 hours of “transit” driving. Well worth it to see all the different parks though
