Fantastic 3 day Safari to Selous!
5/5

We had a great 3 day Safari including pickup from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and drop off at the Ferry to Zanzibar. The trip was well organised and the diversity in wild life seen during the boat, jeep and walking safari was stunning. Hassan was a superb driver and guide who made every effort to make our trip enjoyable. He even went out of his way to arrange ferry tickets for us so we wouldn’t miss the boat. I highly recommend this safari.

Awesome tour, awesome people to enjoy Tanzania
5/5

We absolutely loved our safari to Selous. The experience was relaxing and so enjoyable - all details were taken care of and we were able to sit back and relax. Our ride in the morning of the first day arrived on time and was quite pleasant to chat with. Our guide for the safari, Hassan, was fantastic. Hassan made sure that everything, to the best of his ability, went smoothly: from driving through the most seemingly untraversable roads to to securing the best spot to observe elephants crossing the road in front of you to helping you buy and ferry tickets for your next steps after the safari. Hassan's passion for the animals real showed and he was eager to share his knowledge with you. I would highly recommend this company to couples or families safari.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
