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!

Amazing 5 day safari for family with Suricata Safaris - Our family of four just returned from our private 5-day/4-night safari with Suricata Safaris. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend Suricata! Planning was easy and Hilary was very helpful and informative. Their prices were very reasonable, and the door-to-door service by Tawlib once we arrived at the airport made the trip easy. Our guide and driver, Ezekiel, was absolutely fantastic. We really appreciated that he taught us so much about the animals, birds and even the plants. He found every animal we wanted to see and could spot and identify them from so far away! It was easy to spend 5 days with such a kind and friendly person! He also arranged our itinerary so we could stay two nights in a row at the same lodge, which was great. We were upgraded to a stay at the wonderful Suricata Boma Lodge at Lake Menyara. It was amazing—beautiful resort-like villas with incredible views and unbelievably kind and welcoming staff (plus a pool and spa). We also stayed at two different Angata Tented Camps (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) which were very comfortable and welcoming and the staff made our youngest feel so special he didn’t want to leave! The food was terrific at every location and we were served a hot cooked lunch every day on safari. Suricata staff asked about our food allergies/restrictions and preferences and the food was so delicious! Overall Suricata Safaris was incredible and I highly recommend them!

Safari 5 days - It was an incredible experience in which I was able to see the big five. The lodges were very comfortable and had excellent service. My guides were Chuke, Golden and Brayton, all very good and friendly, but Chuke's cheerful and welcoming attitude stood out. Halima's valuable support from before the start of the trip was also very important.

Good trip - We liked this trip very much.food was delicious and our guide Mandela explained everything well and show all animals that we wanted.

good experience - Mandela was a great guide. we saw all the animals we wanted, and we always had a great lunch.l wish to come back here
