Fabulous 2 night safari in Nyerere
5/5

I was a little nervous about booking a with a local independent operator but I didn’t need to. Jacob put my mind at ease sorting everything out. Our guides picked us up on time from our hotel in Dar es Salaam before driving for just over 4 hours to Nyerere Tented camp where we received a warm welcome and stayed in a fabulous “room”. Our guides drove us to the meeting point of our boat safari and this was brilliant. Our boat guide was fantastic and we saw hippos and baby crocodiles before watching the sunset. The next day our guides took us on a full day drive at Nyerere NP. And although we didn’t see any lions we did see loads of other animals (baboons, elephants including baby’s, giraffe, zebra, impala, crocodiles, hippos, wildebeest, buffalo, hyena & lots of birds). It was a really amazing day. The following morning we were driven for a walking safari, which was ok, a bit more comedy than educational but still saw monkeys & interesting insects. We then had breakfast and were driven back to Dar es Salaam where our ferry tickets to Zanzibar were sorted for us. Jacob also arranged a driver from the ferry to our hotel. Overall a really amazing few days.

Brilliant Safari with Smile with us tours
5/5

3 generations went on Safari in Nyerere NP. 2 people had been on safaris before. 4 not.
Our guide, Allen, picked us up from our hotel in Dar. We went to the Nyerere tented camp. Such luxury! We had a lovely lunch. Got picked up by Allen. Went sailing with Shamban and Amin. Saw 30-40 hippos, crocodiles, birds and an elephant. Went back and had a three meal course. Next day pick up early in the morning. Game drive for 7 hours. This was what we wanted. We saw A LOT of animals. The lunch boxes were good. Allen is an amazing guide; knowledgeable, a good driver and punctual. And has the most heartwarming laugh

Wonderful
5/5

My partner and I went on a 5 day safari between Mikumi and Nyerere NP. Our driver Salum, who has a great knowledge of the animals and places visited was very good. We managed to see almost all the animals present and we had a memorable experience. The structures in which we stayed were all welcoming and offered buffets for various meals. I would recommend this experience with Smile With Us to everyone

Amazing safari
5/5

We had an amazing time in Mikumi and Selous National Park. The communication with the tour operator was really easy and quick. Our guide Salum was the best driver and spotter! He drove very safely and was really experienced. The trip was worth very penny. We can highly recommend this tour (even during rain season)!

Great experience, the best tour operator!
5/5

What a fantastic experience we had! Everything was arranged to perfection. Our guide Erick is the best guide ever! He has a lot of humor, speaks good English and knows a lot about nature and animals. He does everything to see all the animals. The overnight stay was great. The people were very friendly and the food was really perfect! I can really recommend this reliable party if you are looking for a once in a lifetime safari! We had booked a two-day Selous safari from Zanzibar (Dutch couple).

Accommodating, friendly, knowledgable
5/5

My wife and I did a one day Safari - drive from Dar es Saalam to Mikumi (this was actually a last minute change request by myself as we were supposed to go to Nyerere NP, but I found the roads to be too bumpy for my wife earlier in the week, showing that the company is very accommodating). Though we had less time at Mikumi, we left Dar early and the drive was very nice. Our driver handled the roads well. When we got there, we had another local guide take us in on an open safari vehicle (I had requested this for Nyerere, but they were also able to make this happen at Mikumi last minute). He was able to find many of the highlight wildlife for my wife. It ended beautifully with the guide playing some songs from the lion king (Circle of life) as we drove out watching all of the animals. It was a great experience. Recommend!

Truly amazing experience
5/5

we have just got back from such an amazing experience with this company!!!!from initial interaction with the team here it was seamless, the hotel to airport transfer was completely private along with the tour. The guide named 'Eric' was the best guide- nothing was a problem for him and made sure we got very close to the animals but always kept the animals feeling safe and not scared. his communication was outstanding,a really really nice man. the lodge which we stayed was also very comfortable and luxurious again all staff where very friendly.


would highly recommend Smile with Us tours 5 start company
Eric and Isack made the experience amazing!!

Great Service + Knowledgeable Guide = Amazing Experience
5/5

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, we were impressed. Our driver Nordin was absolutely incredible. He was prompt and patient. He escorted us to the airport where we boarded our flight to Selous. Once we arrived Erik was there to pick us up and our 2 day 1 night adventure began. The breakfast and lunch were amazing and both our walking tour and boat tour were educational. We then went out for a late day drive which turned out to be incredible. On day 1 we had already seen 2 of the big 5. (not to mention all the giraffes, zebras, impalas, wild dogs, baboons and pumbas. Our driver was an experienced pro behind the wheel. His maneuvering skills were very impressive. The next day was also incredible. From the packed breakfast on the reserve to our AMAZING lunch at Impala Selous, we were pampered at every turn. This was truly a 5 star experience and we will tell all of our friends about our experience! Don't hesitate to book with this organization.
