Amazing
Alexandra
Our safari exceeded every expectation, and that was largely thanks to our incredible guide Samuel. From the very first day, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes.
Samuel was patient, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about what they do, making every game drive exciting and educational. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip, and their warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to Samuel, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five as well as many unforgettable wildlife encounters.
This wasn't just a safari—it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania. Thank you for giving out family memories that we will treasure forever!

Champion was a great scout in finding all the animals!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Serengeti Smile safari with two othe couples. It surpassed all expectations. Our trip planning was especially easy with Godian's professional guidance and quick response to our questions before and during the 6 day trip. Accommodations were quite comfortable and well appointed in our tent camps, and the food was plentiful and delicious each meal of each day.
Our guide, Champion went above all surprising us again and again with great vantage points so that we could enjoy the natural habitat of the "Big Five" and many other varieties of big beasts and fowl. One of the days, my wife and were unable to travel with the group, and Champion went well above expectations so that we missed very little. We highly recommend that you consider Serengheti Smile for your safari adventure as we hope to join them again some time.
Lastly, we found that this particular safari package was priced more modestly and gave us wonderful views of the animals with full descriptions on habitats, migration patterns, and their hunting and defense techniques.

Great safari trip
Had a wonderful safari experience and trip with Libe who knew a lot about the animals. Although some of the accommodations changed last minute, in our opinion they were betters than those planned before.

The Best Tour Guide Ever!!
Our safari with Serengeti Smile Safari Company was beyond anything we could have imagined! From the moment our journey began, every day was filled with breathtaking wildlife, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, and every game drive brought new surprises that left us in awe.
The highlight of our trip was our amazing guide, Champion. He is, without question, the best safari guide I've ever had! His knowledge of the animals, incredible ability to spot wildlife, and genuine passion for what he does made every moment exciting. He always knew exactly where to go and shared fascinating information that made us appreciate every sighting even more. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and warm personality truly made this safari exceptional.
If you're dreaming of an authentic African safari, look no further than Serengeti Smile Safari Company. They exceeded every expectation and created memories that will last a lifetime. I already can't wait to return, and I would choose Champion as my guide again in a heartbeat! Thank you for giving us the most incredible safari adventure we could have ever hoped for. We will definitely be back!

Serengeti Smile exceeded our expectations for an incredible and amazing safari!
Safari Smile was fantastic! Godian was professional, prompt and most helpful before and during our safari in his communication with us, answering all our questions and arranging for all our transfers and needs. We wanted to support a local tour operator but also to receive the benefits of their local knowledge and networking. Champion, our second generation guide, was phenomenal. His ability to spot animals, foresee their movements, his extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna, culture and history, along with his excellent relationship with other guides allowed for an amazing experience. We had fun, felt safe and well taken care of.
The accommodations were comfortable and the staff at each of their lodges and camps were helpful, conscientious and joyful! We loved the singing! We are running out of superlatives to describe our experience!

Serengeti Smile - Simply Amazing
Our 6-day safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and our guide, Champion, made it unforgettable.
From the very first day, Champion was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the wildlife and the Serengeti. Thanks to his expertise, we experienced breathtaking sightings and were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other incredible moments that exceeded our expectations.
What stood out most was the personal attention Champion gave our group. He always made sure we were in the best position for wildlife viewing and photography, patiently answered every question, and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local ecosystem. His passion, positive spirit, and sense of adventure were contagious and made every game drive exciting.
Champion didn’t just guide us through Tanzania—he created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Serengeti Smile is incredibly fortunate to have a guide like Champion. If you have the opportunity to go on safari with him, consider yourself lucky. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Champion, for an unforgettable adventure and memories we will cherish forever!
Thank you Serengeti Smile. Thank you Champion !

AMAZING! Our tour guide, Champion, went way beyond any expectations we had for our first safari.
From the beginning of our safari via Serengeti Smile to the very last (sad) moment we had to say goodbye, our trip was AMAZING in every way.
Godian, our sales representative, was responsive to our numerous questions on how to handle every aspect of our trip. He provided immeasurable information and did so with grace and unending patience.
Our safari guide, Champion, was FUN, knowledgeable, timely, organized, informative and oh, did I mention FUN! He took care of us from the tiniest of details of making sure our doors were closed tightly before we took off on our daily adventure to providing us with the next days itinerary at the end of each night. We always knew where we were going and what to expect.
What we did not expect, however, was Champions unending knowledge of where to go to get the best photographs of the animals, how he was able to track the animals and somehow knew of their every move, and how he could spot a lioness basking in the sand seemingly a mile away.
Ten minutes into our very first day on safari, we were surprised to see our first elephants and lions! Every day was an adventure of awe inspiring beauty with many animal surprises made possible by Champion.
We feel we have made a friend for life in Champion and we were very sad to say goodbye at the end of our spectacular safari. We know we will continue to enjoy our memories for a lifetime and are already planning our next safari adventure with Serengeti Smile!

Excellent 7-days Safari Experience with Serengeti Smile
When we decided to travel to Tanzania, we reached out to several safari agencies to compare our options. From our very first interaction with Serengeti Smile, we knew we had found the right team.
From the initial planning stages to the very end of our trip, everything was organized flawlessly. Before booking, Piniel took the time to present different itinerary options and patiently adjusted them several times to match our preferences and needs. Once the trip was confirmed, all information was communicated clearly and in great detail, giving us complete confidence before departure.
The experience itself exceeded all expectations. The accommodations were of excellent quality throughout the journey, and every aspect of the trip ran smoothly.
A special thank you goes to our guide and driver, Edward, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and shared an incredible wealth of knowledge about Tanzania's wildlife, landscapes, history, and culture. His passion and expertise brought every day of the safari to life.
Unfortunately, during our trip we experienced a family emergency that required us to return to Italy two days earlier than planned. Despite the unexpected change, the Serengeti Smile team quickly adapted the itinerary to make sure we didn't miss any of the highlights. Their flexibility, care, and professionalism during a stressful situation meant a great deal to us.
We cannot recommend Serengeti Smile highly enough. If you're looking for an authentic, seamless, and truly memorable experience in Tanzania, this is the team you can trust.
