5/5

I just experienced the safari of a lifetime in Tanzania, all thanks to our extraordinary guide, Baranaba. His expertise, dedication, and infectious passion for wildlife transformed our trip into something truly magical.

Baranaba took our dream of spotting the Big 5 as a personal challenge—and delivered spectacularly! With 8 years of experience, his tracking skills were unmatched. He knew *exactly* where to go, used his radio and mobile to collaborate with other guides, and even predicted animal movements like a wildlife whisperer. Every sighting from a leopard chilling on a tree to a rare black rhino in the distance felt like a triumph thanks to him.

Baranaba’s driving skills were exceptional! Fast and swift, ensuring we never missed a moment while staying safe on rough terrain. Whether navigating dusty Serengeti tracks or positioning us for the perfect photo angle, his precision was impressive.

Beyond his expertise, Baranaba’s warm personality and humor made every drive a joy. He answered our endless questions, shared fascinating insights about animal behavior and Maasai culture, and went out of his way to create unforgettable moments like a surprise find of a pride of lions and a pair of cheetahs up close.

If you’re booking a safari, insist on Baranaba he’s the kind of guide who turns a great trip into a legendary adventure. We left Tanzania with hearts full of gratitude and cameras full of once-in-a-lifetime shots!

Our safari was simply magnificent and exceeded our expectations.
5/5

The tour ran very smoothly and was great value for money. The safari transport was comfortable and made viewing the animals and scenery very easy. Amazing how close we got to everything. Out guide, Champion, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of. Accommodation was very comfortable and well catered. Can thoroughly recommend both Serengeti Smiles and our guide Champion for an unforgettable experience.

It was a great Safari experience with Serengeti smile

5-Day Serengeti Safari
5/5

The safari was well organized from start to finish. We went on a 5-day safari with Emmanuel. He is a very knowledgeable guide and taught us all about the parks and animal behavior. He helped us find all of the animals, even the leopard and the fox! And he always made sure that we were well taken care of and having a great time. The two nights at the Serengeti Classic View Camp were very special--watching the sunset and zebras from the "tent." The accomodations at the lodges the other two nights were very nice, and the food was really good at their buffets. The communication with Patricia in the office was prompt and always helpful. I would definitely recommend this company and Emmanuel as the guide.

10/10 trip
5/5

TLDR;

5/5 for our guide, Champion — a true ambassador for Serengeti. If you are able to request for him, please do!!

5/5 for the staff at Classic Camp Serengeti

4.5/5 for Serengeti Smiles— a reliable company with room for growth.

We had an incredible trip to Serengeti (6 adults + 1 child), and the highlight — by far — was our guide, Champion. His infectious energy, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for wildlife made this experience unforgettable. We saw an amazing variety of animals, and every moment felt special thanks to him. If I could give a separate 5/5 just for the guide, I would — he truly made the trip.

As for Serengeti Smiles (SS)— the company was reliable and responsive. Their sales team communicated promptly and professionally, and we always felt safe and well-coordinated throughout the journey. Lodging was decent, and the overall experience was very smooth and hassle-free. They also freely shipped something we had forgotten in one of the lodges as goodwill which we really appreciated and definitely upped the rating of this company for me.

That said, there are a few areas where improvement would take the experience from good to exceptional:

Lodging choices could be better optimized — some locations were very remote, requiring long drives that could have been avoided with more thoughtful planning.

The safari van clearly needed maintenance (jammed doors, windows that didn’t open), and we weren’t informed of the AC vs non-AC vehicle option beforehand.

One concerning point: we got a sense that individual 5-star Google ratings are expected from each member of the group — and that these ratings apply not just to our guide or lodge staff, but to Serengeti Smiles as a whole. This presents a problem: while we felt our guide and lodge staff absolutely deserved 5/5, we couldn’t honestly rate the company itself at that level due to other factors. Unfortunately, this seems to impact the guide’s evaluation, even though their performance was exceptional.

However all in all, it was a 10/10 trip!
