Overall it was fine
4/5

The safari itself went smoothly, we saw all the animals we wanted to see, the driver Goeffrey did the best he could with the program he was given. We agreed on a 5 day-safari that included Northern Serengeti and that was way too rushed.

We felt that the office should have advised us to do it differently, as the distance and road conditions are not suitable for such a short time. We saw the migration but not the river crossing as there was no time for it.

Also they changed our first hotel which was nice but way out of town, and they should have communicated the change with us beforehand. There’s room for improvement on the operation side of things.

Accommodations with Classic View chain was excellent.

Very professional

A very comprehensive tour with several days of safaris
5/5

Excellent service, fantastic days with wonderful and friendly people. The guide spoke Spanish, and our driver, John, was always very attentive and willing to take us to amazing places to ensure we saw animals. We even managed to see the Big Five! Thank you, excellent service.

Incredible ! I have no words
5/5

Our experience with Serengeti Smile was absolutely incredible! We were lucky enough to see the Big Five while always observing the animals with respect and care.

This experience would not have been the same without Champion and Nickson, who were absolutely amazing. They welcomed us as if we were part of their family. Over the three days, we shared so many moments of laughter and joy and created unforgettable memories together.

If you are hesitating about booking your safari with Serengeti Smile, don’t hesitate any longer — you won’t regret it!

A special thank you to Jeremiah, who was in contact with me throughout the organisation of our safari and made everything so easy. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness, availability, professionalism, and positive energy.

This experience truly would not have been the same without you. Thank you for making our safari so special and unforgettable! ❤️

Well-organized and personalized safari experience, with an excellent guide and attention
5/5

We had an exceptional safari experience with Serengeti Smile, and we would especially like to recognize Godian for his excellent communication and organization during the planning of our trip, and Domi, who was our main guide for most of the safari and played a huge role in making the experience so memorable.

From the very beginning, Godian was responsive, flexible, and willing to work with us to create an itinerary around what we really wanted to experience. He helped us arrange the accommodations, transportation, itinerary changes, dietary requirements, and other details. He also made sure our anniversary was recognized at the lodges, including cake and wine, which was a very thoughtful touch.

The biggest credit goes to Domi, who was with us for most of the safari. He made every effort to understand what we wanted to see and then worked tirelessly to make it happen. We wanted to see the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, lions, and as much wildlife as possible, and Domi consistently went the extra mile to find them.

He didn't simply follow a fixed route. He communicated with other guides, followed animal movements, and adjusted our game drives based on what was happening in the park. He made every effort to get us as close as possible to the animals while maintaining safety and respecting the wildlife, which gave us some incredible viewing and photography opportunities.

One of the major highlights was experiencing the Great Migration and the Mara River crossing. Domi put considerable effort into finding the best opportunities for us, and we were fortunate to experience the migration, see crocodile activity and hunting, and witness the incredible wildlife around the river. These were experiences we will remember for a long time.

Domi was particularly good at finding animals that could easily have been missed. Whether it was a leopard hidden in the trees, cheetahs in the distance, lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, or other wildlife, he was patient and persistent. When we told him what we hoped to see, he remembered it and continued looking for those opportunities throughout the safari.

We also appreciated how well Serengeti Smile handled our personal requirements. Our dietary needs were communicated to the lodges and accommodated, and the team made sure the accommodations met our expectations. The anniversary arrangements with cake and wine at the lodges added a personal touch that made the trip even more special.

We also want to acknowledge Stanley, who guided us for part of the safari and continued the same level of effort and professionalism. Having knowledgeable guides who were focused on our experience made a significant difference.

Overall, what impressed us most about Serengeti Smile was that this did not feel like a standard safari where you simply follow an itinerary. Godian listened to what we wanted during the planning, and Domi turned those wishes into reality on the ground.

One issue we did encounter was a problem with the air conditioning in our vehicle, which was uncomfortable during some of the drives. We brought it to the team's attention, and Serengeti Smile responded by arranging a change of vehicle and guide to resolve the problem. We appreciated their willingness to address the issue rather than letting it affect the rest of our safari.

One more area that could have been handled better was the additional fuel surcharge requested after our safari had already been booked. We were asked to pay an additional amount. We would have preferred clearer communication about the possibility of such surcharges at the time of booking.

A special thank you to Godian for the excellent planning and communication, Domi for his dedication, knowledge, patience, and determination, and Stanley for his contribution during his time with us.

We highly recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone planning a Tanzania safari. If seeing specific wildlife and having a personalized experience are important to you, we found them to be an operator that genuinely listens and makes every effort to deliver what you came for.
