Seamless and helpful
5/5

Our experience with Serengeti Smiles has been nothing short of amazing. From the start of the booking process, through to our incredible time with Zachary, our guide. Zachary has been phenomenal. He has illustrated immense knowledge of the African wildlife and ecosystem, and was able to answer any question we had! We also saw the big 5 which was such a happy surprise for us, as we know the leopard and rhino are hard to see. Zachary did everything in his power to get us there, even when we know animals have a mind of their own! We felt safe driving with him, which was so important. The tour overall was great. Loved the accomodation and food! I highly recommend the mid range and private tour. My fiance and I had the most amazing time. Thank you Serengeti Smiles!

Organized and thorough. Piniel, the salesperson, went above and beyond to assist us with transport and booking even outside the tour. The value for money was good and the lodgings were comfortable. Would overall recommend

A fantastic safari that far exceeded our expectations. Everything was more than perfect!!!
5/5

We spent four days on safari in Tanzania. Everything was perfectly organized (thank you, Godian!!!) and the safari far exceeded our expectations! We saw all of the Big Five, many big cats – even in large prides (once eight lionesses!). Alex Luanda was a fantastic guide – fluent in both German and English – he knew every animal and plant, and it was a real pleasure to listen to him. We were incredibly lucky to have him as our guide. Deo Gratius was a superb driver who got us safely along the difficult roads – without any breakdowns or getting stuck. Thank you to Alex and Deo, you gave us four unforgettable days.

a first class service built on knowledge and intelligence
5/5

Justin is an incredible guide. he is so knowledgeable and passionate in his craft. I was constantly amazed that he would spot animals in the distance whilst driving around the serengeti. In relation to that, he is a great driver and also knows the best spots to stop for lunch and where the best views are. Justin also put up with and answered my various questions over the week. the lunches were also very nice. top marks!
Serengeti smiles were also incredible in the planning of the trip before we left and we are grateful to Patricia for that. the organisation knows all of best places to stay and we thought the value for money was excellent. thanks so much!

I would recommend this safari to everybody, booking was smooth thanks to Jeremiah assistance and the guide Simon was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about parks and animals. We had a great time, slept in great lodges, felt safe all the time and saw many animals, including big five. Thanks a lot !

Professional and flawless
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Serengeti Smile thanks to Musa, our guide, helping us to enjoy this awesome country. His experience and knowledge made the real difference, e.g., spotting all the animals and solving all the challenges. Huge thanks to Musa!
Also the hotels are very good, including the camp site at the park, and the food is awesome!

Great safari company, reliable and for a fair price.
5/5

We had the best experience with Serengeti Smile. Since the moment we requested for a quote to the end they ware spectacular. Accommodations were superb👌

Our safari guide, Amniel, was truly experienced, professional, and kind. He drove very cautiously, especially in challenging conditions—such as the day we encountered heavy rain and many other cars got stucked in the road. Over five days, he guided us through stunning Tanzanian parks, where we saw breathtaking landscapes and an abundance of wildlife.

Great memories we will carry for life.

Very well coordinated
5/5

We have had wonderful experience with Serengeti Smile. They coordinated airport transfers to Safari and timings of everything were all so perfect. I would highly recommend Serengati Smile if anyone planning for Safari. Our Safari guide and driver Zack was an expert driver and very knowledgeable about animals and jungles. Zack made our African Safari so special and memorable experience.

Attentive and knowledgeable
5/5

Amniel is a very careful and attentive drive. I feel it is important to highlight it as we have seen many cars stuck in the mud or broken down, and even one accident in Serengeti.

He is also very knowledgeable and had a keen eye for the animals. But I feel most of the tour guides will be like so, as people from all companies communicate and give tips to where to find them.

Outside the game drive, the accommodations were really good. I didn't expect this level of comfort for a safari.
