5 Days Group Camping Safari

My daughter and I really had a wonderful time on our safari with Suricata. We saw all animals we would ever hope to see - lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, buffalos - the list never ends. The nature is absolutely gorgeous and the guides were so knowledgeable both about the animals and the context, we learned so many new things and they didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile and knew everything about the area, especially Ecky in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - a huge thank you for that. We also had a great time in Lake Manyara with Bonifacio and in Tarangire with Jordan. Even though we changed guides 3 times it didn’t matter as they all are so great and the people in the different groups as well. The food was excellent and we got cooked warm food for every meal (compared to other companies that only got lunch boxes) so thanks to all chefs as well. Sleeping in tents was an adventure, hearing the animals at night and meeting a zebra on your way to the washroom! Bring a jacket though, it gets cold. In summary we are so honored to have seen the animals, the nature and having met all warm people in Tanzania- hopefully we’ll be back!

The five-day safari is an enjoyable and educational experience. It provides an opportunity to explore Tanzania's natural beauty and understand the importance of wildlife conservation.

We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, all of them from very close up! But beyond the incredible wildlife, what really impressed us was how well organized everything was and how amazing the food was — you can hardly imagine how they manage to prepare such great meals out there. We were especially lucky to have Felix as our guide, together with Chef Salimu and Sous-Chef Godwin. An absolutely top-notch team that made the whole experience even more special!

I started with a 4 day safari and ended extending to a 5 day! The views, the animals, the people, our guide, everything was breathtaking and just so surreal. Pascal, our guide, was so passionate about his country, the land, and the animals that accompanied it. He explained everything there was to know and answered all our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable in so many different areas. Our cook, Salim, was awesome! He always greeted us and made sure everything was satisfactory. Always had a smile on his face and the food was always good! We were all so so lucky with all the animals that we got to see and encounter. I can’t say what my favorite part was- the herds of elephants with all their sweet babies, waking up to zebras outside out tents, or watching the lions roll around like the giant kitties they are. I will forever cherish the amazing memories 🥰 Thank you!

The experience was awesome. Our guide Pascal was knowledgeable, passionate and very patient with us. The food was great and the camping sites atmospheric, situated right in the middle of the wilderness. Prepare for a camping experience and expect some mild mannered hyenas and Zebras in your camp. We had enough time to process the experience, rest and socialise. Altogether: it was awesome.

The safari tour was just amazing! We were always a group of 6-7 people which is a good amount! The jeep is quite comfortable and has enough place to sit there for a long time. Our guide Pascal knows really well about all the landscape, history, and of course animals. He knows the streets by heart, his English is really good and his driving skills as well. Our cook Salim followed us all the way through the safari and is doing a great job. The tents are always already put up when we arrived at the camps, the food is always warm (at breakfast, lunch and dinner) and really nice! The camps have different kind of luxury style, while some have hot water and pretty good toilets, others (e.g. Serengeti) are a bit more rough - however that makes it possible to actually see the wild life marching through the camp and in between the tents! Amazing. The picking up has been a bit tough, unfortunately we were forgotten at the airport, which forced us to take a private taxi. We did get reimbursed for it, so it was fine in the end, it was just a bit rough to arrive during the night waiting for the pickup, and when we arrived at the hotel, unfortunately the room was not ready yet. The picking up times during the safari are also a bit more flexible, but mostly not to the mistake of our driver/guide, but the car broke down twice, which is expectable when going through the tough roads! Apart from that - all great! So all in all, it was all exactly the experience I dreamed of and I would advise the company to my friends if they went here. I can’t even talk about the animals and the feelings it made me feel - I guess for that experience you gotta go there for yourself.

frank and pius are nice. 多嗦要小霏，看我仪个人，辻块给了不够，说要辻唔块。也不介邵冻物，岔的憋莱

I had a wonderful safari. My tour guide was Frank and he was amazing. The whole time he made sure that we are all happy and everyone has a great experience. Frank knew so much about the animals and the land and was able to educate us all. We learned so much from him. We even managed to see all of the big 5 and a lot more animals of course. Frank always made sure we had the best view of the animals. The camping stop were all amazing as well. Really clean and well organized and all the people were so kind and friendly. Our chef Pius is an incredible chef! The food was so delicious and always freshly cooked. I will really miss the food! I had such an amazing time on my safari and I will miss all the people and the animals and the landscape. I really can recommend to do the safari with Suricata Safaris. You can do it as a family, as a couple with friends or even alone because everyone is welcoming you!

It was an incredible experience. We got to see everything we hoped to see. Also the the people are amazing and care for everything you need. Especially our guide Frank and the cook Pius with his amazing food made the trip unforgettable. I would absolutely reccomend this Safari. Thank you for Everything!

One of the best things about this safari was the constant question of what might be coming next. We came across a big herd of buffalo and then had an amazing leopard sighting in the trees. Jeremy was very good at explaining the animals and what was around them. I had a wonderful time travelling with Suricata Safaris.

Some travel experiences stay with you because of the people you share them with and the moments you experience along the way. Our safari with Suricata Safaris was exactly that kind of journey. From elephants crossing the grasslands to unforgettable lion and rhino sightings, we saw so much together. Jeremy was attentive and knowledgeable throughout, and we are very happy to have these memories captured in our photographs.

Being out in the open wilderness together was an amazing experience. We saw elephants, lions and a rhino during our safari with Suricata Safaris, and each encounter gave us a different memory to take home. Jeremy was friendly, knowledgeable and patient during the game drives. The photo we took together with him is one of our favorite reminders of a truly memorable adventure.

We had a really great safari experience and would definitely do it again! We saw so many animals, which made the whole trip absolutely worth the price. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included every day. The food was quite similar from day to day, but there was always a good variety to choose from. For breakfast, for example, there were pancakes, fresh fruit, toast, eggs, and more. Overall, we had an amazing time, saw lots of wildlife, and felt that the safari was definitely worth the money. We would absolutely recommend it!

Amazing. All was so good The location confortable and clean Chef was so good And they give bear and wine

You really feel like you're taking care of from the booking to the very end. Everything is thought through. The food is really good. The guides are always happy to share their knowledge. We were happily suprise to see that much animals in diversity and number and really healthy (they eat good!). Special thanks to Robat and Franck

My 5‑day Tanzania safari was an outstanding experience with incredible wildlife, smooth logistics, and free park admission. Crowd sizes were manageable throughout the parks, allowing peaceful and uninterrupted viewing. The lodges and camps offered high‑quality service, comfortable rooms, delicious meals, and beautiful views in campsite, with staff who were consistently attentive and welcoming. This journey is ideal for nature enthusiasts and travelers seeking an authentic African safari. I confidently recommend it and would gladly return.

I had an amazing safari experience! Opting for this 5 day group camping tour package was the best decision I made. It is budget friendly, but the service and experience were superb! In this tour we were a group of 6-7 heads which for me is just right group size. We get to meet new friends along the way and we’re lucky to be in a very down to earth group. The staff/crew were all welcoming. We really felt taken cared of. I felt completely secure throughout the trip, even though my friend and I are both girls. So don't worry ladies if you wish to do the same, go for it!

Over 5 action-packed days, we encountered four of the Big Five, including a leopard lounging on a sausage tree branch just meters from our vehicle. Jeremy is a master at reading animal body language; he anticipated where a lioness was moving before she even stood up, giving our group front-row positioning for photos. Camping at night was surprisingly refined—sturdy tents, thick mattresses, and hot water showers set up in the bush. Suricata Safaris exceeded every standard we had set.

Antony accompanied us on our 5-day safari—including 2 days in the Serengeti, 2 days in the Ngorongoro Crater, and 1 day in Tarangire—and he did a fantastic job. You could tell immediately that he genuinely loves what he does. He brings over 10 years of experience as a safari driver, and that routine showed in every situation: he knew exactly where to find the wildlife, stayed completely calm, and made sure we got to see the best spots across all three parks. We jokingly called him Mister Sunshine because he has such a positive vibe and went out of his way to make sure all our wishes were met. Aside from speaking decent German, he is also completely fluent in English, which made communication completely seamless throughout the entire trip. Anyone looking for an experienced, relaxed, and dedicated guide will be in the best hands with Antony. Thanks for the great time!

The experience was so good, the guide Isak was fantastico, 10/10

Our 5-day safari with Anthony was simply unforgettable. He was always attentive to what we wanted, stopped whenever we asked, and gave us plenty of time for photos. On top of that, he had fascinating facts to share about every animal we saw. You can tell he’s truly passionate about what he does and puts his guests first. Highly recommended – thank you, Anthony!

We had an amazing safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Suricata. Our guide, Anton, was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and always determined to give us the best possible view. Thanks to his effort, we saw every animal we had hoped to see. Anton made us feel comfortable through all the tour. We highly recommend Anton and Suricata!

Exceptional! Our guide and driver, Anton was amazing. He is truly the best and made sure everyone was comfortable and took the best pictures during safari. Anton went out of his way to accommodate all individuals within the group. He also made sure my birthday was celebrated with the rest of the group. Recommended 12/10. I would only suggest for an improvement in the food offered during the trip. I believe it was basic and lacked Tanzanian culture, which we expected.

If you book this 5 day camping trip with Suricata Safaris, bring a dust mask or scarf for the road sections! The vehicle was well kept with working charging sockets for our camera gear, which was very helpful. Jeremy positioned the pop-up roof vehicle perfectly whenever we came across elephants or zebra groups near the waterholes. Camping life was basic but fun, and the group dynamic was really great.

We joined a 5-days group Safari with Suricata this year. Our contact was Jesca, she organized everyhing perfectly, even wishes for additional overnight stays at the beginning and end and additional day trips. Our guide Pascal teached us many things about the national parcs and the animals in Tanzania. We were glad to see the big five, thanks to his great experience. Catering was wonderful and we were glad to have chosen Suricata again.

The safari was amazing. We had amazing animal encounters and were lucky to complete the big five! Pascal has been an amazing tour guide, who made sure we were having the best time. He knows a lot about all the animals, the history of the national parks and the people and tribes living there. He was very patient with answering all of our questions :) he was making sure that we leave with a lot of great new memories and information about Tansania and the nature. We can completely recommend the experience!

We had an amazing time and spotted so many animals including the Big 5! Our guide always found the perfect place to watch the wildlife and for some great pictures! Thank you very much, Pascal, for this unforgettable tour!

Good expérience, we can see lot of animals even the big fives ! ! Thank Pascal for this trip !

A brilliant safari with Pascal, who gave us a really good insight into Tanzania’s national parks.

First day of safari! We were really looking forward to it and felt nervous, thinking it would be very hard to spot animals, but with Steve, no animal can hide from us! As soon as we entered, zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes. My mother cried with emotion. We saw elephants up close and even found lions! We never imagined seeing so many animals on the first day. We had lunch in a quiet spot with very pretty views. The safari companions were very nice; it was their last day and they told us many stories. The food was very delicious. I can only say wonderful things. To wrap things up, Kashada prepared an incredible dinner for us, and since I'm a vegetarian, I couldn't have been happier with my margherita pizza :)

I had a fantastic experience with Suricata Safari. From the accommodation at Safari Homes upon arrival, to the safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with our excellent guide Louis and exceptional chef, everything was truly outstanding. The final safari in Tarangire with our guide Steve was the perfect way to end the trip, allowing me to experience unforgettable moments in one of Tanzania’s most beautiful parks. A truly memorable experience from beginning to end.

Frank was excellent guide, the places were amazing and the campings and food very nice.

Amazing experience , Adam was a very well prepared and experienced guide. I suggest this Company absolutely for your best safari in Tanzania.

We were lucky enough to go on a safari with Suricata, with Simon as our guide, and what a wonderful person he is! Simon is such a lovely, kind and caring person, and above all, he is truly passionate about his job. He really wants his guests to have an unforgettable experience. Thanks to him, we laughed a lot, learned so much about the animals and their environment, and most importantly… we were lucky enough to see ALL the animals we hoped to see, including the famous BIG 5! What we particularly appreciated was the respect Simon has for the animals. He always made sure that the animals were not surrounded by too many vehicles and that our presence had as little impact as possible on their natural lives. You can really feel that he genuinely loves and cares about the animals and wants to protect them. A huge thank you to Simon for these amazing moments, his explanations, his good humour and his passion. We will keep an incredible memory of this safari and would recommend him without hesitation! ❤️ Thank you, Simon, for this wonderful experience!

There are not enough stars in the world to rate this experience. Some people simply do their job. Others become part of a memory that you will carry in your heart for the rest of your life. Elias is one of those people. From the very first moment, Elias made us feel safe, welcome and genuinely cared for. He was not simply our driver or our guide, somewhere along the way, he became our friend. His knowledge of Tanzania, the wildlife and the landscape is extraordinary. His ability to spot animals that we would never have seen ourselves was unbelievable. He is so patient, so kind, so respectful, he always looked after us and was always s on time. He also wasn't just following other cars, he knew every road as if it were his back yard, it was mind-blowing. He never made us feel like tourists. He made us feel like people who were lucky enough to experience his home with him. Elias was with us for some day trips and for a camping safari and I would do it all again in a heart beat. Our second driver, for the last day trip, was also absolutely wonderful. He was kind, professional and did an amazing job, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for us. But Elias was simply in a league of his own. And then there was Lucas. What an incredible cook and person! After long days of adventure, coming back to his food felt like coming home. Every meal was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared and made with so much love. We honestly don't know how he managed to create such amazing food in the middle of nowhere. Last but not least, Neema helped us plan everything and she left not a single wish open. She is so fast in replying to emails, super patient with every question, wish or change of plan. To the entire team: thank you. You gave us far more than a safari. You gave us memories that we will talk about for years. The landscapes of Tanzania were breathtaking. The wildlife was beyond anything we could have imagined. But it was the people who made this journey truly unforgettable. I can recommend Suricata in a heartbeat and without a single doubt. Everything from the organisation to the people, the care, the professionalism and the experience was exceptional. You have an incredible team, and I hope you know how special the people working for you are. There is a saying: “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.” I am trying very hard to do exactly that. But saying goodbye was genuinely difficult. Because sometimes you have an experience that you know, even while you are living it, will never happen in quite the same way again. This was one of those experiences. I will cherish it forever. Thank you, Elias, for being the best guide we could possibly have wished for. Thank you, Lucas, for feeding us so beautifully and putting so much heart into everything you made. And thank you to every single person who made this journey what it was. We arrived in Tanzania as guests. We left with memories, stories, full hearts and people we will never forget. Asante sana, from the bottom of our hearts. Until we meet again. ❤️

We had five wonderful days. We stayed at the campsites and had so many fun and memorable experiences. Adam was incredibly attentive and shared valuable insights about the local culture and wildlife. We absolutely loved the experience.

Fantastic 5 days in nature with amazing people. We took this safari trip as a family of four, joined 3 other travelers, and had an unforgettable time together. We saw the Big 5 and so much more. Everything was well-organized. Our driver and guide, Izack, was superb. If you want to experience Tanzanian nature while learning its secrets, hearing engaging stories, and having fun, ask for Izack. Great safari, great team, great guide!

We had an amazing 5-day safari in Serengeti, and spending two full days in the park was the right choice. It gave us enough time to explore without feeling rushed. Our guide Izack was fantastic, going the extra mile to help us see the animals we hoped for. He was patient, attentive, full of fantastic humor and made the experience special, sharing great knowledge and stories about the region and wildlife. Both - the Big Five and the Ugly Five - checked! We also got great care and delicious food from our Chef - Jeremiah. We were lucky to have a great group, which made the trip very relaxed, fun and enjoyable. A truly memorable safari — highly recommended!

I had a great experience with Suricata Safaris. Izack was a fantastic guide and was so informative about everything we were seeing! Definitely recommend!

I feel if you love animals and nature, going in a safari like this will always be wonderful. The prices are high, mostly because of the high entry fee for the national parks. That fee also goes to maintenance of the park, which is comforting. Due to Suricata's flexibility we were five solo travellers together in one jeep. We like minded people also found a good match in our amazing guide! Izack was very informative and genuinely seemed to care about the park and animals. He wasn't just driving around, but actively going out of his way to look for the animals we wanted to see. He clearly worked hard those five days to make our experience top-tier! Our cook Lucas also made sure we were well fed with good food. In short, an experience I'll never forget, thanks to the animals, nature, my group, dikidiki and most of all Izack - asante sana!

The 5-day camping safari was an exceptional experience—one that can only be found in places as unique as these. The organization of the tour was excellent. Communication was always clear and timely, so you knew exactly what to expect, when to be ready, and where you were going. Whenever there were any questions or uncertainties, the staff were more than willing to help. Our guide, Isaac, was a perfect example of what makes a safari truly memorable. His in-depth knowledge of the wildlife and the environment, combined with his enthusiasm, made every game drive engaging. His driving and navigation skills consistently brought us to the best locations for both wildlife sightings and breathtaking landscapes. Above all, his patience, empathy, and genuine care for the group made the experience even more enjoyable. All of this came together to create a safari that exceeded expectations and will remain an unforgettable experience.

The experience was amazing with the aid of Pascal (Pasco), but with some caveats. Starting with our guide, he was very knowledgeable about various topics ranging from the wildlife to history. His positive mindset and the lengths that he would go through to accommodate requests were commendable. Truly, he helped make the experience. However, there were issues regarding timetables. There were many down times whether it be at the entrance of a park or at a scenic point where the over staying became an issue. This would result in rushing at certain points. His inability to communicate defined times or duration at certain points would be detrimental for the group's overall experience as many times would be spent loitering at a gate where there was neither animals nor a scene. That being said, I would rate the tour as a 3 if not for Pasco. Regarding the company, improvements should be made to logistics and organization. When arriving, we were moved to a different hotel and had left some stuff not needed for the safari as there's also a weight limit. When the safari was finished, our guide asked us several times where we we stayed. We no longer knew, but found it strange that the company that organized it did not know either. Furthermore, on pickup day, the pickup was 30 minutes late. On the last day, coming back to Arusha, our guide had said our gear we had left behind would be at the new hotel (which was where we were suppose to stay originally). Upon arrival, our stuff was not there. This was an issue since our next tour had to inspect our gear for the lemosho route of kilimanjaro. On top of that, our guide stated someone from the company would come by for a debrief of the pickup for departing Tanzania with no defined time. To add to the confusion, the itinerary received didn't mention anything about accommodation after the tour, so we had booked our own. When we were dropped off, we were told that the stay was included! Speaking of the itinerary, it also said visiting the Maasai would be $15 USD, but, when getting to the village, the price was $20 USD. The lack of consistency and communication made it difficult to properly plan things. It's as though "pole pole" or "slowly slowly" is a way of life that should be integrated when planning for this trip as company oversights could force you to plan again. With that being said, the provided food was consistently good, especially since it wasn't just sandwiches, and the workers are very nice. I recommend being patient during the actual safari since it's based on luck if you see certain animals and what they're doing. Also, there was no AC in the car, so be prepared to open and shut the windows whenever vehicles drive by as there will be a lot of dust. Talking to other groups that booked with the same company, some had WIFI for their trip, this one did not. Despite the complaints, it was still an overall great experience that just had some questionable points every now and then.

Nice safari if you want to see many parks in a few days ! We saw sooo many animals, with a great variety of sceneries. Good food :) nice camping, pack warm jackets for the one next to Ngorongoro ! The distances are quite important so expect a lot of driving.

Our 5-day safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Anthony. He is incredibly friendly, professional, and very experienced. Thanks to his knowledge and dedication, we were able to see the Big Five as well as many other amazing animals. Throughout the entire trip, Anthony was always in a great mood, happy to help with anything, and solved every problem that came up quickly and professionally. He made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and could fully enjoy every moment of our safari. We highly recommend Anthony to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If we ever come back, we will definitely choose him again. Thank you, Anthony, for making this trip so special!

Amazing trip with Suricata Safaris! Everything was perfectly organized, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Special thanks to our guide, Anton, who was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. His passion and engaging explanations made the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience with driver Elias and chef Lucas! Elias is an experienced guide with great spoken English and Lucas cooked very tasty meals. We're so happy we saw all the big 5 and more different animals. Recommended!

Absolutely loved this experience with Suricata. I am so happy i went with this company. Our guide Elias was the best with lots of knowledge about all the animals. He was able to answer any question we asked. He drove very safely and gave us plenty of opportunities to see the animals up close. Camping felt very authentic and the sites were great (as long as you are happy with a cold shower sometimes ;)). We even saw Zebras in our Ngorongoro campsite which was something i will never forget😊 Also shoutout to Lucas for some of the yummiest traditional food and for catering gluten free !!

Overall a great safari trip with our guide, Charles. We appreciated his explanations of the places we visited and animals we saw. We were able to see the elusive leopard and rhino, along with plenty of lions, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, zebras, ostriches and many more. The food was also very good. It's great having someone who can consistently take you to the animals! There are a couple things the company could probably make more clear in the initial itinerary, though, so I'll list those here to help future travelers. - Each person should only bring about 10kg of luggage. You can leave the rest in your main suitcase in the hotel. - Mostly you'll be showering with cold water at the campsites. - Pack toilet paper, all toiletries and a towel. - It's best to have all the snacks you want for the car from the beginning, as you may not have a chance to buy them later.

The 5 days safari experience in Tanzania with Suricata was very positive and memorable. The wildlife was incredible, with opportunities to see elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals. The landscapes were beautiful, especially the wide Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater. Charles - our guide was very informative and shared valuable knowledge about the wildlife and landscape. He explained the animals’ behavior clearly and made the experience more interesting and educational. Food was really good!!!! Made alot of friends! One area for improvement would be providing a packing list or guidance on what to bring well in advance, rather than only the night before the trip. This would give guests more time to prepare properly for the safari.
