Made me fall in love with Tanzania
Suricata Safari made me fall in love with Africa, and Tanzania. Everything from when I was picked up on the airport to when I left has been so amazing that it's difficult to spell out in words.
Our guide and driver Charles was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the big 5, most of them on several occasions. The chef Mukhucin was amazing and made some of the best and diverse food I have ever tasted. Make sure to tip them well!
The camping spots were very good and most of them even had hot water for showering. I would recommend bringing some earplugs though since the animals can make quite some noise at night. We had everything from small dik-dik to elephants visiting our camps so you really get to get close to the wildlife. Also, if you are going to Ngorongoro, make sure to bring some warm clothes.
The only criticism I have is that when I was going to Serengeti we were a bit late and didn't get that much out of the day, and in Ngorongoro two other people were joining our group and there was an issue with the permit which made us all very late for the crater. They did solve this in a very good way though and I was very pleased with how it all turned out.
I am for sure returning to Tanzania after this experience!

Ok
The camping safari is pure adventure.
However, there were a few things that didn't go perfectly.
We were reliably picked up from the airport by taxi. The taxi driver told us the safari started at 7:00 a.m. At the hotel, we were told the safari started at 8:00 a.m. The actual start time was 8:30 a.m., but we were misinformed. The safari itinerary was also changed (Lake Manyara on Friday instead of Tuesday), which isn't a problem in principle. However, this needs to be communicated. According to the description, the game drives last about 6-7 hours. In reality, however, they lasted a maximum of 4-5 hours, as we didn't start at the agreed time on a single day.
Some of the campsites were very run down, often with only cold water, and only one of the three showers working.

Suricata offered us an excellent tour and amazing experience with o my some organizational issues
On our 3 day tour through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater we got to see so much of the wildlife mostly thanks to our amazing tourguide Melita. His experience and knowledge about the Nationalparks helped us see all the different species, including the big 5! He was an amazing guide and made the experience very special.
The campsites were very clean, equipped with the necessary amenities and very well located. We had amazing sunsets, sunrises and Zebras in the camps. The food included was always delicious and big portions so that everybody had enough.
The safari tour experience and our guide deserve 5 stars without a doubt!
Unfortunately we can only give 4 stars for the overall experience because of some organizational issues in the beginning. We were told to be picked up at the airport and after waiting for one hour with nobody responding to our messages or calls we had to find ourselves a taxi. Also the included accommodation was not very clearly communicated so we double booked. After a long exchange we were compensated to make up for the caused trouble, which we appreciated after the frustrating arrival.
Either way we would recommend the tour to anybody considering it.

5 days mid range safari, amazing experience
Our 5-day mid-range safari was an unforgettable experience. The Suricata team was always friendly, supportive, and communication was fast and clear. The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully accommodated our dietary restrictions, including lactose and gluten intolerance.
A special thanks to our guide Melita, knowledgeable, fun, he was great in spot all of the Big Five. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, with Suricata Boma Lodge and the Land of Nature campsite in the Serengeti standing out in particular.
Totally recommended tour and agency!

The best
We make the great safari in Tanzânia with Suricatas and we love the experience.
Rocky was our driver and he is fantastic.
Thanks
Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, this safari was an absolute highlight! Our guide Rocky made the days truly special – with a warm personality, great sense of humor, and incredible knowledge about wildlife, plants, and nature.
We didn’t just visit the best spots; we also learned fascinating stories and facts that brought the whole experience to life. Thanks to his sharp eye, we spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more – always with the utmost respect for the animals and their environment.
The accommodations along the way were comfortable, clean, and full of character – each with its own charm and spectacular views. The food was equally impressive: fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, with delicious local dishes that made every meal a treat.
Our guide answered every question with patience, always knew where the next adventure was waiting, and made sure we felt safe and well taken care of at all times.

Lifetime experience with a great company and great guide
5-day tour going through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara was spectacular, each one with a different landscape. We saw incredible scenes of so many different animals. The trip was perfectly organised, with time for adventure and time to rest and relax. Would 100% recommend this company for people doing a safari. Our guide Elias was incredible, very knowledgeable, experienced and dependable, and also a very good company. He knew where to find all the animals and de felt total confidence in him from the first moment. The accommodations and food were nice, and the route through the parks was well planned.

Outstanding 5-day safari with impeccable planning and a great guide
We had a fantastic five-day safari with our very friendly and knowledgeable guide, Adam, who told us a great deal about the animals and the history of the people and the country. It was a unique trip that we will never forget. We were also very impressed with Ayman's service throughout the safari, which saved us a lot of organizational effort.
Best regards to both,
Niklas
