Once in a Lifetime Trip - Fantastic sights and tons of animals! We were even lucky enough to see Lion cubs on our expedition. Special thanks to Adam our driver for going above and beyond!

Suricata Safari review - Everything was amazing, very well organized, everyone was very helpful I saw the big 5 and it was amazing, I highly recommend Suricata Safari for book a safari

All expectations exceeded ❤️ - Absolutely unforgettable experience of the three-day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater national parks. It was my first safari, and I didn't really know what to expect, but it was truly amazing. The service and the organization provided by Saricata Safaris were top-notch, all the details were very well arranged, and went smoothly from the airport pick-up to warm lunches during the trip. Our guide Alias is super knowledgeable about animals and navigation in the parks, and his driving skills through the muddy roads are impressive. We saw some other cars struggling, but it was never the case for us. We have managed to see all the Big 5, most of them multiple times, and some with the babies which was super cute. Moreover, we saw zebras, giraffes, hienas, and various other animals and birds. Huge thanks to the Suricata Safaris team and special thanks to our guide!

Perfect Safari with Gerald and Samson - I was on a 3 day safari in January 2026 with Gerald as guide and Samson as driver. Madness... Gerald was incredible, discovered every animal worth seeing for us, explained a lot and by the way he is still an incredibly nice guy. I slept in lodges, but the rest of my troupe slept in camps and I was always allowed to enjoy lunch by Samson ... Horny what he conjured up all culinary. Great experience with wonderful guys ... gladly again

Mr - Great experience, guide, safari and company. We saw all big 5. Driver was very good and he knows much and have good information for all questons.

none - A safari is an unforgettable adventure that lets you get close to nature’s most magnificent creatures in their wild homes. Every moment feels magical—watching lions lounge in the sun, elephants walk in herds across savannas, and giraffes nibble tree tops at dawn. The fresh air, vast open lands and the quiet thrill of spotting rare animals make it way more than a trip—it’s a humbling reminder of how amazing our planet is. Guides are knowledgeable and kind, keeping you safe while sharing cool facts about each animal. It’s a perfect mix of excitement and peace, leaving you with memories to cherish forever and a deeper love for wildlife.

Best tour - Best experience I have ever had Truly recommend!! Feel the greatness of mother nature

Recommended experience - Amazing experience!! Highly recommended to do, I highly highlight the attention of the guide we had and the service was excellent. An experience not to miss

Experience to remember! Right balance between adventure and comfort. Going on safari really enriches the trip to Africa - Before leaving I was very undecided whether to see only Zanzibar or go on safari. And then what safari, lodge, tent, 3 or 4 days? In the end I chose 2 nights and 3 days of safari +2 nights in hotel in Arusha (day 0 and day 3) with lodge accommodation in mide range with Suricata Safari. The tour included first night in Arusha, very early wake up and departure to Serengeti Park (which is 4/4.5 hours from the park). By 18:30 we arrived at the lodges after a day full of game drives. The next day wake up at dawn, breakfast and then tour to Ngorongoro conservation area which is an area where also the Masai who decide to live in tribes live. After mass day of game drive (excluding travel) we stopped for the night in a neighboring area in the second lodge, around 18:00 (attention the time varies depending on the destination to choose between lodge and tent and this varies according to the members, you have to be flexible otherwise you can book a private tour). The next day wake up just before dawn and then tour of Ngorongoro caldera (which is a nearby area but different from the Ngorongoro conservation area), here we shot all morning and after lunch we returned to Arusha where I recommend sleeping before further flights and travel. Ayma answered all my questions while I was in Italy. A pickup truck picked me up at the airport and took me to a comfortable hotel in Arusha. Here I received a briefing. The next day the group tour started (there were 7 of us including the driver Gherald). A second jeep went on safari with us and it was nice to meet other people. Both guides are very experienced in both driving (and it is not easy on a safari) and providing all the information. I always felt safe. I was always asked if I was satisfied with the stop before moving on to another animal (I am passionate about photography so time is important). I asked Gherald a thousand questions, also in relation to the Masai. I discovered that there are various types and each decides how closely to observe the rules of the tribe, where to live (not everyone lives in the tribes or in the conservation area) and who to marry, so some live isolated without technology in the homes of the Masai tribes and others you can see them riding on a scooter in the city. The experience in the lodge was very comfortable, the one in the Serengeti National Park is really magical, the photos only partially give an idea of how beautiful it was. Dinner was served in comfortable restaurants. The private bathroom was really a valued resource at the end of a long day. I woke up with giraffes circling, but I never felt danger. Campsites and lodges do not have shared facilities and are typically 15-35 minutes apart. The difference in price is justified by the difference in services, but everyone knows if they are ready or suitable for a more tailor-made solution or if it is better to prefer comfort after a long day. I saw all the animals possible, I was lucky enough to see 5 lionesses, 4 antelopes and 3 hyenas competing for a meal the carcass of a zebra. My eyes and my heart have been filled with green, nature and beauty. I highly recommend this experience.

Horrific Logistics and Predatory Pricing - I am writing this review to warn future travelers about the severe lack of organization and accountability at Suricata Safaris. While the parks were magnificent, the "scam-like" pricing and communication I endured nearly ruined my trip. Pre-Trip Issues & Poor Communication My experience started with Grace, whose communication was consistently poor. She frequently dodged questions and would go silent for days. Jesca was also involved during the pre-trip phase and was an awesome help from the start. However, because Grace was the one receiving the commission for my sale, Jesca was unable to fully step in and manage my booking, leaving me stuck with Grace’s incompetence. The Arrival Nightmare & Predatory Pricing I arrived approximately at 1:40 AM on a Monday, expecting my 3-day Serengeti/Ngorongoro package to start that morning. Instead, I have learned from the drivers (two people came to pick me up at the airport) that my tour would start on Tuesday, the 7th, a result of Suricata (Grace) messed up my dates. When I contacted Grace, she refused to take responsibility and offered a "private tour" as the only fix. The pricing was a blatant scam. My group tour was $1,200 (inclusive of food, lodging, and safari). Grace quoted me $8,400 for a private tour. It was obvious she simply multiplied the $1,200 price by 7 (the capacity of a Jeep). By that logic, she expected me to pay for the food and hotel accommodations of six non-existent people just to fix a mistake she made. To be quoted this after 20 hours of travel felt like predatory exploitation. Internal Failure & Commission Issues A major issue at Suricata is their internal culture. Other staff members were initially hesitant to help me because they didn’t want to "interfere with Grace’s deal/commission." It was only after I kept escalating within the company that Jesca was finally able to step in and ignore the internal "territory" rules to actually help me. Grace eventually also stopped picking up calls entirely (that was what other staff has told me as I also didn't want to talk to Grace ever again after she quoted me $8400 to fix her mistake). In the end, I had to pay an additional $250 out of pocket just to get a private driver to help me "catch up" with the group tours I had already paid for. Accommodation Discrepancies The "bait and switch" continued with the lodging. My package explicitly stated I would stay at the SG Premium Resort. Instead, I was taken to a place called "Suricata Home" which did not feel like a legitimate hotel without any prior explanation (the accommodation place was not even listed on Google map). Final Feedback for Suricata Safaris If management is reading this: Your commission structure is broken. Giving the full reward to the person who happens to collect the deposit results in agents like Grace who ignore clients and provide poor services. I paid the deposit not because of Grace' sales tactic but because of the existing great reviews on Google and Trip Advisor. You should consider setting up rewards base on customers' feedback and experience. Advice to Travelers: If you book here, insist on working with Jesca. She is professional and solution-oriented.
