Having a great time in Tanzania thanks to Smile with Us.
5/5

In the beginning, I had a few questions about our safari. I was very pleased with quick and fulfilling answers from Jacob.
We were picked at the airport and start the route to Mikumi. We spent a half-day in the park and saw many animals. next day on the long way to Selous, we could observe the real life of Tanzanian people and we found very interesting. The third day we spent looking for more animals in the Selous game reserve and we were quite successful. Our driver Hassan was very friendly and knew these parks very well. Thanks to him was our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, we cancelled the boat safari and bushwalk because of the heavy rain, but anyway we had a great time during this little adventure. Both camps provided us with nice accommodation and surprised me with their pleasing approach to accommodate my (vegan) diet needs (thanks to Jacob´s involvement).
Thanks to Smile with Us my safari dream came true and we would definitely book a safari with them again and recommend them to our friends and family.

Excellent Tour with a lot of animals, good operator and guide
5/5

We took a 5-Day Safari to Selous and Mikumi park. It was a long car ride to get from dar es salam to selous, selous to Mikumi and back to dar es salam but totally worth it. During the ride you see all lot of small villages and see how the people live there. They always friendly and waving when we passed by.

The to parks where also very good. Not much other Safari cars so we could enjoy the silence of the nature and the animals. We saw a lot of animals (lions, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, hippos...) up close just a few meters ahead of us.

The driver Hassan did a great job to show us all the animals and was a safe driver during the 7-9 hours ride between the hotels and parks.

Trused and organised company, great safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area
5/5

I can fully recommend the Smile with us tours in Africa as a safari organizer. We went for private and budget accommodation option 4 days and 3 nights trip in January 2020 to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area.
We book the drip 2 months in advance. The communication with Jacob was excellent before, during and after our trip. We paid a deposit before the trip through pesapal and the rest in USD in Arusha. Try to get the most recent USD notes as 2006 & 2003 dated ones are rarely accepted. The company picked up from Arusha airport and helped with doing some shopping before safari. At the end of the safari, they provided transport to Kilimanjaro Airport. All that has been agreed before trip. From the beginning to the end everything was well organised and in line with all agreements. The driver and guide Mr Amani is every experienced and tired the best to show us all kind of animals. A chef surprised us with his excellent cooking skills. The car had a foldable roof what is a key during safaris. Camping sides were as expected, all with showers and toilets. The tent was spacious. We managed to see the big 5 but please remember this is not a zoo. It is more about the luck. Summarizing we are impressed of level of organisation and quality of services we received from Smile with us tours in Africa. Please feel free to contact me in case of any questions.

Everything promised and more!
5/5

Safari can be expensive, but Smile with Us definitively delivered everything promised and more. The communication via WhatsApp is quick and easy; Jacob really comes through. The cooking was good and guide was really attentive. We toured Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro privately for 4 days and saw the big 5, cheeta’s and many more animals up close. Camping was well arranged but in a tent expect to sleep accordingly with other people on the grounds around you. Even the airport transfers were really pleasant and well taken care of. Thank you guys!

Amazing Safari Tour Service ❤
5/5

First at all, I want to show my appreciation to this magnific Safari tour that in all the tour they had an incredible service in all the senses. Me and my friends we had 3 days safari with Smile With Us and from the first day we had very good connection with the driver and the cheff (Thanks Amani and Erasto), they explain to us everything about the animals and spots that we had during the trip. The cheff was awesome with all the breakfasts, lunchs n dinners. People was jealous from us for having such an amazing meals jajaja TOP!. #Erasto number 1. The driver was totally good in the whole trip. We enjoyed so much with him, his pattient and good humour with us for taking pictures everywhere and talk about everything of the safari was very good. He struggled a lot to search the best animals around for looking at them. The jeep is super comfortable, the roof is nice to have other views. The windows is ok. Generally, the car is perfect for the tour. Thank you so much Amani. Finally the conection by whatsapp with the guy fixing the planing and the options for the safari was very good. He answer really fast and help in everything u need if u have doubts about the trip. So if I have to give a rate to this marvelous team is 100 of 10. I truly recommend this team for ur future adventure. From all my crew THANKS!

Friendly and experienced driver and safari guide mr. Hassan, we had a very pleasant 5-day trip!
5/5

Communication about our wishes for this 5 day safari trip to Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous was very good and we got quick responses via e-mail and whatsapp - thank you, mr Jacob!

We both eat vegan food and that is no problem at all, meals are delicious and our accomodations perfect. Jacob and Hassan (our driver and safari guide) are very helpful to help planning our trip.

Hassan, thank you for your pleasant company, we highly appreciate it!
This trip exceeded our expectations and we’ll never forget the beauty of Tanzania.

Professional guide and wonderful experience
5/5

Communication was fast and easy. I had exact information and very good service.

We visited Selou game reserve and Mikumi national park. They were very different from each other: in Mikumi there was savanna and in Selou it was more forest and brushwood. Our guide called was Hassan and he was polite, nice and knew a lot about animals and nature and what is the most important: he respected animals and the beautiful nature around us.

I recommend Smile with us tours!
