Absolutely incredible experience. 1 of a kind. Frank was our tour guide and was exceptional. He knew where to be at the right moments in the game drives and ensured that the big 5 was covered as well as offering information along the way. Highly recommend to all thinking about booking this. Incredible experience
My boyfriend and I spent three days on safari with Suricata Safaris, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our lives! Everything was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Elias, was absolutely fantastic and made the experience extra special. We got to see and experience so much wildlife, and our chef prepared delicious meals throughout the trip. Staying in tents was also a great experience and much easier than we expected. Communication with Suricata Safaris was excellent. They were always quick to respond, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions. We have absolutely nothing to complain about and would highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. These three days gave us memories we will cherish forever!
We had an amazing safari experience in the Serengeti, even better than we expected! From the very beginning, communication with the agency was outstanding. They were always responsive, answered all our questions, and clarified every detail before the trip. Our guide, Jesse, was fantastic – very knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to share interesting information about the wildlife and the area. The entire team was extremely professional, and the food was absolutely delicious! We even had a private chef traveling with us, preparing fresh meals every day, which made the experience even more special. Everything was very well organized, and the team went above and beyond to make our safari truly memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
Simply put, my partner and I had an absolutely perfect experience with Suricata from start to finish. From the very beginning, no matter how many questions I had, no matter how many times I needed to change our schedule, no matter how many times we needed to work through logistics, I had exeptionally quick, helpful, and kind help from Suricata's sales/support team (a huge extra special thank you to Benjamin there!). As any such Safari can have a good number of things to work through to set it up, it was a huge relief and help to have such great support through out. The experience itself was equally as wonderful. For the lowest cost I could find for comparable experiences, the 3 day camping option with Suricata was in no way lacking. Airport pick up (included) was welcome, the hotel before/after the safari was high quality, and, of course, heading out to the Serengeti/Ngorongoro was an experience like none I have had before. Thanks to our top notch, kind, personable, and greatly knowledgable guide Lewis (his facts about local communities and the animals we saw really made the experience that much better for us), in only 3 days we saw the big 5 and much much more. With such full and successful days, 3 days was honestly the perfect amount of time. We were six in the car, and also had a great time with the new friends we made. Towards the end of the dry season in October, to me, seemed like a great time to go with clear skies, plenty of animals, and relatively less crowds than the high summer season (though still certainly be prepared not to be the only car out on the savannah). It is also worth mentioning the camping experience and the food. We originally chose to camp to save money, but honestly, if money was no issue, we would easily choose to camp as we did again. The camp sites features large amply roomy tents, very clean showers and bathroom facilities, and even a canteen in the second with beer and other drinks. Going out to explore the Serengeti, camping definitely fit the atmosphere of the experience with no lack of comfort nonetheless. And finally, I need to speak to the food. We were prepared for a few paultry sandwiches and to go through the weekend with a relatively empty stomach. But in the end it could not have been more different. We were absolutely SERVED with plenty plenty of food for full breakfasts, lunches, and dinners each day. And the food was good let me say. Absolutely phenomenal mix of local dishes, with meat and vegetarian options. Even had a few bottles of wine to go along with it. Several Suricata safari concurrent tours would meet up at camp for the meals also making for a nice community eating feel. All and all I could not say enough good things about my first safari experience with Suricata and I am honestly very thankful to the whole team who kept up with all of nonestop inquiries and changes. Would reccomend without a doubt!
Our family of seven went on a three-day safari with Suricata Safaris, seeing the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The car had plenty of room for everyone and was tidy, roomy, and cozy. Jeremy was a patient and informed guide who helped us learn more about the wildlife and made every day fun. Seeing elephants, zebras, giraffes, and lions in their natural habitats was one of the trip's highlights. Compared to the stunning, expansive plains of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro offered a different landscape and fantastic wildlife viewing. We were pleased with Jeremy's handling of the three-day trip, and everything went without a hitch. It was a memorable family experience in Tanzania.
Well organized safari and incredible experience from start to finish, in this safari was like planned few month ago with a friend of mine with camping budget, everything is worthy to us. special thanks to Melita and suricata safari.
One the best experience i have ever had in my lifetime with suricata safari , to see the beatifilness of Ngorongoro and Serengeti was my dream, thanks to my guide for sharing with me nice informations about all the animals and landscapes. Asant sanna
Our safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was honestly amazing. The days were packed with safari time, but somehow still felt relaxed. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, had great food, lots of laughs and came back with way too many animal photos. A big shout-out to Suricata Safaris for arranging such a beautiful experience. Communication was always clear and easy, the service was lovely, and they were very helpful in personalising the safari around what we wanted. I would 100% recommend doing the camping safari. Yes, you sleep on mats. Yes, it can get pretty cold at night. And yes, at some point you may question your life choices while crawling out of your tent in the dark. But then you wake up with zebras casually walking around the campsite and suddenly it is all worth it. Camping also made the whole experience feel much more adventurous. The people arranging the campsite were lovely, and sharing dinner with other safari travellers was such a nice part of the trip. You start as strangers and somehow end the evening exchanging stories, travel plans and inside jokes. Another huge shout-out to our cook James, who somehow managed to serve us healthy, fresh and tasty food every single day. Great lunches, great dinners, meat and vegetarian friendly, and delicious Tanzanian food that had us licking our fingers afterwards. And finally, the biggest shout-out goes to our guide: Frank the Man. Frank kept the good vibes going from morning until evening. He had endless knowledge and fun facts, was ridiculously good at spotting animals, and managed to get us to see the Big Five. There were a few logistical setbacks along the way, but Frank always did his absolute best to solve them and make sure we still got as much safari time as possible. Nothing seemed to kill his enthusiasm or the mood, and that made a huge difference. Thank you so much, Suricata Safaris, for an unforgettable experience, and asante sana Frank for giving us three days full of animals, fun, fun facts and great memories. If I could give 10 stars, I would :)
Great company, great guide, great camps, great food, and the Big Five with cubs thrown in. If you're deciding between safari operators in Arusha, stop reading and book Suricata. One of the best experiences of our lives. Yes, it's touristy in places, but once you're there you understand why. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat makes you rethink everything. First, credit to Suricata. They are a polite, experienced and professional company. We arrived in Arusha by night bus rather than the usual airport pickup, and even though the bus was badly delayed, someone was still waiting for us and took us to our hotel without any fuss. Then there's Frank, our guide. He's funny, knowledgeable and kind, and an excellent driver who made us feel completely safe in the car. He is a big part of why this safari was so good. Both campsites were incredible. The first, inside the Serengeti, had antelopes and elephants right next to us and a night sky we'll never forget. The second looked out over the Ngorongoro crater, with a herd of zebras grazing in front of our tent. James cooked lunch and dinner every day, and it was consistently delicious. The game drives themselves were everything we hoped for. We saw the Big Five, including cubs. Asante Suricata, asante Frank.
Our 3-day Serengeti safari with friends was an incredible experience, and Emanuel played a huge part in making it so special. He was an excellent guide—very knowledgeable about the wildlife, patient, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. He knew the Serengeti so well and took us to amazing spots where we could see the Great Migration and other wildlife up close. Emanuel also made the safari fun with his stories, explanations, and great sense of humor. We truly appreciated his care and professionalism. Thank you, Emanuel, for an unforgettable safari and wonderful memories! 🦁. We'll always recommend cheetahtrekking.com to everyone they're Top.
The places themselves were incredible, but having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even more rewarding. Jeremy was attentive during our time in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and helped us understand more about the surroundings and wildlife. The camping element also gave the three-day safari an adventurous character that we really enjoyed.
Absolutely fantastic safari with these guys. Yes its basic camping and yes you need toiler roll but this makes the safari the experience you wont forget . Don’t take fancy clothes or expect anything more than this and you are onto a winner . Good food at meal times so you don't go hungry . Best of all the safari parks are amazing and you don’t have to queue as entrance is all sorted . What a wonderful 4 days we had . Would definitely recommend.
I highly recommend the tour. I had an amazing experience with my friends. Saimon is the sweetest person on earth, very friendly, nice and knowledgeable. He made our days special and Salim was our cook, very kind and happy guy the food was so delicious. We loved it!
Our experience was awesome. Simon, our guide, was kind, knowledgeable and very responsible. The food was amazing and the whole staff were so kind. We were lucky to see the big 5 and much more. I would totally recommend suricata safari
Amazing experience, a real adventure! We had a great time during the safari, thanks to our guide Simon and also our cook Sallin! The food was delicious throughout the whole tour and our guide Simon made the experience very memorable with all his knowledge and experience. Thanks so much, Simon!! Can’t wait to be back!
My mates and I booked a 3-day trip with Suricata Safaris, and it turned out to be unbelievable from day one. Jeremy was an incredible guide who knew the parks inside out and brought us right up to the best wildlife sightings. A huge highlight was taking a break during game drives to sit on the grass under a tree, having lunch, and opening some cold beers and wine. The views from the Ngorongoro crater lookout were insane too. Unforgettable trip!
Overall good experience. Tents were clean, food was decent and being in a group of 6 was a lot of fun! Our guide Pascal went out of his way for us to see the big 5!
Suricata Safaris gave us an unforgettable 3 days! Right from the start of the safari, our group enjoyed cold drinks, beer, and wine during our scenic lunch stops out in the bush. Stopping at the Ngorongoro crater view for pictures with the guys and watching wildlife up close made this trip legendary. Jeremy knew all the best spots away from the crowds and ensured every drive was packed with action.
Excellent experience with the best guide that I really recommend. Thanks GodBless !!
Anton was an amazing guide! He took great care of us and searched tirelessly to find us the coolest animals. We saw 4 of the big 5 and he was very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw
We had an absolutely incredible time with Saricata Safaris, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver and guide, Gerald. From the moment we set out, it was clear he genuinely loves what he does — his knowledge of the animals, terrain, and local ecosystem was outstanding, and he had a real gift for spotting wildlife the rest of us would have completely missed. Gerald made sure every game drive felt personal and exciting, patiently answering our endless questions and going out of his way to position us for the best possible views and photos. He struck the perfect balance between being incredibly professional and making us feel completely at ease throughout the trip. His passion for the wildlife and the land was contagious, and it turned a great trip into a truly unforgettable one. This safari is worth the cost, as it was essentially all inclusive (admission fee included). We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, 2-3 meals a day and tents + sleeping bags included. The vibe was unmatched, sleeping in nature and enjoying all the new friends we made! If you book with Saricata Safaris, do yourself a favor and request Gerald — he is the reason this trip will stay with us for years to come. Can't recommend him and the whole team highly enough!
It was such a beautiful experience, our tour guide Gerald was amazing he was really enthusiastic and had so much knowledge about the different kinds of animals. The company Suricata Bomba Lodge really raised my expectations coming to my first safari, they were very organized and very kind people. I truly recommend this beautiful experience if you’re up for some fun!
Suricata Safaris took us on an incredible journey through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The sheer variety of wildlife was mind-blowing—we saw endless herds of wildebeests and zebras roaming the open plains, a lioness silently hunting, and even an ostrich striding through the tall grass. Dropping down into the Ngorongoro Crater felt like entering a whole different world packed with hippos and flamingos. Jeremy was a brilliant guide who knew exactly where to find the action!
suricata safaris did a fantastic job organizing this 3-day safari. jeremy was our driver and guide, super friendly guy who knew all the best spots for wildlife photos. seeing thousands of zebras and wildebeests up close in serengeti was unbelievable. tents were clean and camping setup was very comfortable for a budget tour. highly recommended!
Incredible experience!! Love my guide Melita!! Got to see everything and then some!! 10/10 experience for sure
Frank was a nice guy, we saw the big-5 and we had an amazing experience
Such a great experience which I highly recommend! Isack was the perfect guide, always making sure that we got to see all the animals we wanted, and telling us more about them, and making sure we were comfortable during the trip. The 3-days was the perfect length for this safari experience, as it was more than enough to see Serengeti and Ngorongoro; and also to have the camping experience alongside other tourists, which made this trip even more memorable. Thank you to Suricata Safari!
Isack was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable about Serengeti wildlife and helpful in sharing his knowledge. The food was perfect, the tents provide the ideal atmosphere, and the entire organization of "Suricata Safaris" deserves five stars.
Amazing experience! Izack was very knowledgeable and the chef provided fantastic meals. The entire trip was a positive energy and a lot of fun! It never felt like we were stalking the animals whilst still being able to observe and capture photos and videos of animals in the wild!
Was an epic time, managed to see all of the big five. Guide was very knowledgeable. Food, tents and sleeping was great. We even had zebras at the camp
Great experience. Communication was good and our guide was very informative. We learnt a lot and bonus… saw the big 5!
Good Safari company. Would recommend camping, it was a great experience & camping equipment was very comfy and warm, tent was setup and campsites good. Delicious food throughout. Our jeep had some problems, it kept breaking down which wasn’t great. Our guide was well informed and experienced but at times did not make it clear what the plan was for the day, meaning it was sometimes confusing/disappointing. Overall, recommend! Saw the big 5 and enjoyed a lot
Amazing experience with Anton and the chief Salim. Anton was really good to find the big five and all wild animals during the Safari. Great 1 to 1 meeting with Lions , Buffles and others. Thanks their attention and warm welcome
Thanks for this amazing experience ! We were Lucky to see so many animals thanks to your guide Anton. Everything was ok from the start to the end..pick up explication food camp... great experience
Anton was cearly one of the most experienced and knowledgable guides. Rapid, timely itinerary and arriving to the best phoyography positions even with other tours around. We could not ask for more.
It was fabtastic! I will never forget. Our Driver Anton knew to stop at special moments very close to the animals. And our chef Selim made excellent food. It was better then I expected. Camping was also beautiful in nature and comfortable. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful and beautiful experience 😍 highly recommended. The team is very professional and good at their jobs. The animals are beautiful and we could see every of them 🤍
We had an outstanding time on safari. Our guide (Joachim) took us to the best spots, and we were delighted to be able to see all the animals. The highlight was witnessing a cheetah successfully make a kill. Joachim provided us with plenty of information and kept the mood high throughout, while also accommodating the wishes of all the participants. The group's well-being was his top priority, and I would go on a safari with him again in a heartbeat. Our cook (Jeremiah or Joshua) also deserves special mention; the food was delicious, varied, and suitable for a vegetarian. A note on budgeting: a generous tip of 15 to 20 US dollars per day is expected for the cook and tour guide. We were initially unsure about this, but in hindsight, the tip was more than justified given the quality of their service.
Thank you for the safari. It was one of the best experiences of my trip, thanks to the amazing guides.chaz melita jery
Amazing experience, we had the chance of seeing all the 5 big fives! The guides (Anthony, Freddie and Lewis) were great!
An Unforgettable Safari with Suricata Safari. We just finished an incredible 2-night camping safari with Suricata Safari, and it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our guide Anton was fantastic — very experienced, knowledgeable, and always making sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and an amazing number of lions! 🦁🐘🦏🐃🐆 A huge thank you also to Samson, our chef, who prepared absolutely excellent food throughout the trip. It was honestly impressive to have such delicious meals while camping in the middle of the wilderness! 🍽️🔥 Everything was well organized, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. From the wildlife and breathtaking landscapes to sleeping in the tents under the sky, it was something we will never forget.

Great experience! We did the 3-day Safari with Anton, who is a very experienced guide, great driver and always looking out for spots to watch animals. I recommend him and Suricata Safaris for a memorable experience!
Frank has been amazing. We saw everything we were promised, thanks to Frank.
An absolutely beautiful experience! 🇹🇿🦁 We met incredibly kind and helpful people who guided us through Tanzania and made every moment truly unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see all the Big Five in their natural habitat — an experience that is difficult to put into words. 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃 A special mention goes to our chef, who was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious every single day, despite being right in the middle of the safari! 🍽️ But above all, a huge thank you to our driver, Charlie, who truly made the difference. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always focused on making sure we had the best possible experience.
