Meet Your Local Family

I remember when I was age 9, my mother took me to the Ngorongoro to see Big Five. That was the unforgettable memory of my lifetime. Since then, I never stop falling in love with nature and animals in general. I also love to meet new people 😊. Life is full of adventures and we Suricata Team are adventurers!

My favorite animal is Lion (Simba in Swahili )

“We had a great time on our 5 day camping safari with Suricata. The communication from start to end was excellent. Hillary, the owner of the company arranged Airport pickup, hotel stay in Arusha and the safari.

Our safari guide Ezekiel and chef Salim were the best duo you can ask for on a safari trip. Ezekiel worked hard to get us close to the animals and explained so much more about the animals and their behavior. After a long game drive, safari chef Salim always prepared the best meals - much more than you would ever expect.

We will definitely be back!” – Nick

When you come to your Suricata Safaris Experience you can be sure you will enjoy the best local Tanzanian food. Rice and “ugali” are staple foods while okra, spinach, beans, and cassava leaves are commonly used vegetables. At least seventeen varieties of plantains are known to grow in Tanzania. Our smiley Ndella’s favorite food is Porchop!

“We just loved it! We absolutely recommend Suricata Safaris. We learned a lot about the wildlife and we will never forget this amazing trip here in Tanzania. Everything was perfectly organized and we always felt very welcome. Our guide Mandela is just a great guy, who knows a lot about the nature and the animals. He was always very kind and helpful and we felt very comfortable every single second. He made our trip to an unforgettable time. We also loved the food, especially from the chef Tito. We would book it again!” – Linda D.

Guess what this grown man's favorite song is? The Lion King, "In the Jungle".

We agree with you Rocky, it's important to always nurture our inner child.

“We had an amazing 5 day safari with Suricata (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara). Our guide Rocky was very knowledgeable about all wildlife and is in addition a great fan of bird watching. So if you are interested in birds he can definitely arrange a great experience for that. He also managed to find the perfect balance in our group for watching wildlife and making pictures and ensuring sufficient pace to keep it very lively. He was also great fun and built a very nice group dynamic that way.

Our food was excellent throughout the whole safari, so kudos to our chef Ben for that. We saw many other groups having cold lunch out of a paper box but we always had a properly prepared meal.

All in all a wonderful experience and would totally recommend it to everyone!” – Pascal G.
