Amazing Safari Experience
We had an incredible experience with Serengeti Smile on our 7-day safari. The accommodations were fantastic for the entire trip. Each had their own character and special feeling about them, and all of the staff were fantastic.
But what was by far the best part of our experience was the once-in-lifetime opportunity to see all of the wildlife we got to see. We spent a day in Tangire, 3 days in Serengeti, 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater, and 1 day in Lake Mananyara . During our time, we saw all of the big 5, including 3 different leopard sightings, and more than 100 lions! We also saw cheetahs, and everything else you could possibly see— elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, hyenas, 3 very special rhinos at the end of the trip, and so much more. Being out there and seeing those animals was one of the highlights of our life. And this is all thanks to our amazing guide, Samuel. He was kind and caring, professional, and so incredibly talented at finding animals. On our game drives, he would ask us what we wanted to see, listen to the radio, and drive to areas where we would likely find the animals we wanted. We were pretty much in awe the entire time. It was so much fun, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime.
We are so grateful for the experience, and equally grateful to have had Samuel as our amazing guide. He is now our friend forever. We hope to come back someday soon.

An unforgettable experience, thanks to Erick and John!
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to our guides, Eric and John, for giving us the best experience of our lives. From the very first moment, they were incredibly professional and welcoming, always making us feel safe and at ease. Their deep knowledge of the region and its wildlife turned every second of this safari into something truly magical. If you’re looking for a perfect, memorable adventure, put your trust in them—they are simply extraordinary!
Knowledgeable
We had an amazing first safari experience with Smile Safari, and our guide, Hussein, made it truly unforgettable.
Hussein was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. He knew exactly when and where to go to give us the best opportunities to see wildlife. His sharp eyes and extensive knowledge made every game drive exciting, and we managed to see all of the Big Five in just two days.
The absolute highlight of our trip was seeing rhinos pass right in front of our safari vehicle ,an incredible experience we will never forget.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our first safari. A big thank you to Hussein and Smile Safari for such a memorable experience. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Respectful and streamlined experience that met all our expectations
Our safari with Serengeti Smile was an unforgettable experience, and the team delivered on everything that mattered most to us.
From the very beginning, communication with Patricia, our local operator, was seamless, even while organising everything from Spain. She was helpful, responsive and made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free. Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything ran smoothly, from airport transfers to every pick-up and drop-off, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the journey.
Our guide Stanley was fantastic: knowledgeable, respectful towards nature and the animals, and always happy to share fascinating insights about the wildlife and its behaviour. We really appreciated his approach, which made us feel like observers in their world rather than visitors disturbing it.
The accommodations were another highlight. They were comfortable and practical while remaining beautifully integrated into the natural surroundings, with a genuine local feel rather than a generic luxury-tourism experience.
Our favourite part was spending two nights at a campsite in Central Serengeti, with wildlife roaming incredibly close by. There is something truly special about falling asleep and waking up surrounded by the sounds of the wilderness, knowing that animals are moving freely just beyond your tent.
We were lucky enough to see all the animals we had hoped for, but what made the experience so meaningful was something beyond the sightings themselves: witnessing wildlife living entirely on its own terms, with no enclosures, no performances, and no guarantees. You are simply there to observe, to feel humbled by the scale of it all, and to remember that you are only a small part of a much bigger world.
We would absolutely recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone looking for a well-organised, authentic and respectful safari experience. Thank you, Patricia, Stanley and the whole team, for making this part of our honeymoon so special!

Super helpful, flexible and organised
We did a 4-day private safari with Serengeti Smile, visiting Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and had an incredible experience from start to finish!
Francesca was so helpful in putting together the perfect itinerary for us and patiently answering all our questions before we arrived. Our driver, Deo, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. His genuine enthusiasm for spotting wildlife and sharing fascinating facts about the animals made the experience even more special.
Matthew also shared his knowledge of the Maasai people and organised a visit to a local village, where we learned more about their culture and way of life.
Everything was so well organised, from airport transfers on arrival and departure to arranging our hot air balloon safari. We didn't have to worry about a thing once we arrived, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
We would highly recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!
