Very well customized tour
5/5

I have asked for a private, customized tour in selous national park. Within a few hours a get very fair priced offer for a 4 day safari from Jacob. He is the owner of smile with us tours.
The driver and guide (Kassim) was waiting at Dar Es Salaam airport and picked me up for driving to the national park. First he helped me by getting a local sim card and changing money. While driving to the lodge he has given me a lot of informations about Tanzania. If I have asked him questions a could give me always a good answers.
By driving he gave me good tips for more customizing my tour. So we have changed the plan of the tour a bit. A have made a cultural village tour, a boat safari, a bush walk and a national park drive. Every experience has been great.
The Africa Safari Lodge is a very pleasant lodge with spacious rooms, good food, very friendly staff and a nice pool.
Thank you Jacob for organizing this tour.
Thank you Kassim for driving me so safe and respectful, for giving so many good informations and for your funny jokes. you have given an unforgettable experience.

5/5

Great price, great communication from the beginning which really put us at ease. And questions were answered promptly and any problems we had were resolved and talked through. We would do another trip again through Jacob as he made the whole process great and Freddy was an excellent driver and guide.

Excellent experience, knowledgeable and friendly
5/5

Jacob and Freddy have been terrific! From the beginning Jacob was prompt in accommodating and developing an itinerary that worked for our group. He went above and beyond to schedule our COVID19 testing with a local doctor before our departure.

Freddy was our safari guide and driver and was with us during the entire stay. He understood what animals we wished to see and worked hard to spot them. He was great company and very knowledgeable about the culture, animals, plants and may other questions we asked during our trip together.

We highly recommend using Smile with us travel and would use them again.

In love in safari))
4/5

we had a 3 day safari (tarangiri, ngorongoro and manyara). picked up from the airport and taken to the place of overnight stay.
love the safari, I recommend taking more days to see more animals. seen at arm's length: giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffaloes, lions, monkeys ... it's just incredible))
very nice guide Fredy, it was as comfortable as possible with him ... he tried to show us all the animals that are in the parks (we saw a rhinoceros even ... about 150 meters away (they were looking for him all over the park).
my top recommendations for smile with us. good customer reference

Unforgettable experience in a lifetime
5/5

We had booked a safari to Selous. It was the best experience we had in our life. It was beyond our expectations.

Starting from quotation until the end, everything was clear. Jacob informed us about everything and helped us with getting a pcr test in Dar Essalaam.

The accommodation, jeep, driver/guide (Hassan) and food were well organized, clean and good. No hidden costs or disappointments.

We truly recommend everyone to book with Smiles with us Tours.

Amazing adventure
5/5

We participated 4 Days mid range safari Tarangire np, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater.
Jacob, the operator of Smile with us tours in Africa, communicated sincerely and speedily from the e-mail inquiry stage, so I was able to leave it with confidence. During our stay in Arusha, he picked us up on time, so that his behavior was perfect.
The tour was guided by Freddy. He is a very experienced and dependable guide, he discovered animals from a great distance and knew how to move, so we were able to see animals more and closer than any other tour company.
In addition, we stayed at the hotels prepared by Smile with us tours in Africa for three nights, all the hotels were well-cleaned, sophisticated,and the staff were friendly. We asked with other tour companies in advance, but we believe that the quality of the accommodation was best provided by Smile with us tours in Africa.
From the above, I think that it is absolutely advantageous if we can get that service at the price we paid. I would like to ask Smile with us tours in Africa again if I have the opportunity!

Great Adventure
5/5

We booked a 3-day safari to Selous. The communication was very good. Since it was our first Safari, we had a lot of questions and Jacob, who organized everything, replied very quickly.

Our driver/ guide Kassimu was very reliable and picked us up on time. He had very good knowledge about flaura and fauna and was very professional and friendly during the whole safari. We were lucky to see all the animals we wanted to see (incl. lion, giraffe, zebra, elephant, hippo etc.). The lodge (Africa Safari Camp) was very nice and clean!

On our way back to the ferry, the driver made sure we arrived safely. We had a very good first experience and can only recommend Smile with us tours in Africa.

Splendid time with Smile with us Africa!
5/5

My family and I booked a 2 day Mikumi safari trip with Smile with us in February 2020.
Our guide (Zack) was really helpful, knowledgable, always minding the comfort of all family members and all-around great companion on our trip.
We saw many animals in just two days game drive, including a sighting of lions walking just past our car and resting in its shade.
The accommodation was nice and cozy with great staff and good meals.
Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend Smile with us Africa tour to everyone!

Canceled tour
5/5

We booked the tour and made the full prepayment but had to cancel the trip to Tanzania because of the family reasons. The company "Smile with us" fully reimbursed our expenses as it was agreed and described in the terms of conditions. They were all the time online and responsive to the different requests. I trust this company because in addition to the professional tour's arrangements they were fully committed to send the prepayment back. Good service and smart work with the customers.
