Thank you for the wonderful memories
I had such a fantastic experience with Serengeti Smile and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
A huge thank you to Godian who helped me organise the trip over several months. He was incredible. Very professional, patient and helpful throughout, even when I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to travel. He helped create the perfect itinerary that matched my budget, expectations and plans.
The safari itself was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My guide, Saturo, was fantastic! So knowledgeable, patient, incredibly easy to be around and always willing to do his best to make sure I had the experience I wanted. Thanks to him I saw my first river crossing within just two and a half hours of arriving in the Northern Serengeti and I ended up seeing two crossings in total. I honestly saw everything I had hoped for and much more.
The Serengeti Classic View Migration Camp where I stayed for two nights was wonderful, with absolutely incredible staff.
I came home with some of my most special travel memories and am genuinely so happy I chose Serengeti Smile. I would absolutely recommend them.

A friendly, professional local safari operator that goes above and beyond
An incredible safari with Serengeti Smile!
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Smile and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
From the very beginning, Piniel, our point of contact, was fantastic. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our safari and tailored the entire experience around our wishes. He was incredibly flexible, prepared multiple quotes for us, responded to all of our questions (at all hours!), and was always friendly and helpful. We really felt that he cared about making our safari perfect rather than simply selling us a package.
And then there was our driver, Davis, who was simply amazing. He was extremely friendly, polite and professional throughout the entire safari. His knowledge of the parks and, most importantly, his ability to spot animals was incredible. Thanks to Davis, we managed to see virtually everything we had hoped for — including some absolutely unforgettable encounters with wildlife from incredibly close distances.
The whole experience exceeded our expectations. From the planning with Piniel to the actual safari with Davis, everything was handled professionally and with a genuine personal touch.
We are so happy that we chose a local Tanzanian company, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile to other travellers looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
Thank you Piniel and Davis for an incredible trip and memories that we will never forget!

Great !
We loved doing this journey with Serengeti smile! The planning was made via our personal preferences. Every camp we stayed in had an amazingly kind staff and was informed by the company of our food requirements (we only eat kosher) and were very nice and understanding about it. The guide was very patient and kind and really took his time explaining about the wildlife. You can rely on this company to take care of unfortunate issues that might occur and always make sure the client has left satisfied. We highly recommend them :)

Gives you the perfect smile with the best views on safari, places to sleep and best kindest guide.
Before we came there was a good and nice communication with Jeremiah. When we arrived there was a little miscommunication, but our guide Hussein took that straight away by showing us the most beautiful places and animals to see. He knows all the right spots and put the car right in front of a migration spot. The lodges and tented camps where spent the night were perfect, especially Karatu View Lodge (wow!!). If we are able to come back to Tanzania we will certainly book with Serengeti Smile again.

Beyond excellent
I have never encountered an organization or company in my life that knows its business, solves problems, sticks to the schedule minute by minute, always does its absolute best, and works around the clock, 24/7, to ensure its clients’ satisfaction quite like Serengeti Smile.
My wife and I visited Tanzania for the first time, went on safari for the first time, and also visited Zanzibar for the first time. Exploring the Serengeti feels like witnessing a miracle. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and if there is one company in this world that can make it even more special, it is Serengeti Smile.
We worked with Godian, who is simply the best organizer you could ask for. We went on safari with Kazi, an absolutely fantastic guide.
If you are planning a trip, contact Serengeti Smile and ask for Godian. Make sure you do your safari with Kazi. And definitely choose their tented camps in the heart of nature — they arrange the very best ones.
Then head to Zanzibar. Once again, they will arrange the best hotels and take care of every detail.
All I can say is: Thank you for everything, Serengeti Smile and Godian.

Excellent staff, accommodation selection and organization
We selected the mid range Safari tour to see the great migration at Serengeti. They organized the itinerary and provided separate private single accommodations for our group of 3. All the meals were healthy and delicious. They arranged a guide Abel who speaks Spanish and is very knowledgeable of local culture and animals. The driver Jonh was a fantastic ranger, driving safely always. He was always in the right time for the best views and respecting the distance from animals and other cars. We could see the great migration and the big 5.

Domi was dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We saw the big 5 thanks to Domi.
We had a great experience which I attribute to our guide Domi. He would ask every morning how everyone was doing and what we wanted to see for the day and then he would make it happen. It was truly the experience of a lifetime.

Dream life safari
With the tour operator Serengeti Smile we went on an incredible safari. Francisca organized a tailor-made program for us based on our needs and possibilities, and was always available for information and clarifications. Champion, our guide, was fantastic, he knows the parks very well and always knows how to spot the animals, always with respect for nature. An unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend contacting Serengeti Smile to plan your safari.

Amazing experience in the wild
Our safari with Serengeti Smile was an unforgettable experience. Starting with the organization, thanks to the help of Francisca, who was impeccable. Our guide Champion was fantastic — he led us through the wilderness with enthusiasm and tireless energy, taught us so much about the animals, and of course helped us make some incredible sightings. The price was very fair, and the lodges where we stayed were extremely comfortable.
