Sailing across the wilderness, the wind is always favorable; a journey through mountains and seas is always peaceful.
Our eleven-day journey to Tanzania in East Africa has come to a close. Seven days were spent traversing the vast Serengeti plains, embarking on a wild and magnificent safari; four days were spent wandering the Indian Ocean islands, enjoying the tranquility of turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Between these two contrasting experiences, we witnessed two distinct facets of the African continent's beauty.
This trip was made possible thanks to your company's meticulous planning. The itinerary was well-balanced, neither rushed nor aimless, perfectly balancing grassland adventure with island relaxation. It allowed travelers to both experience the vastness of the land and enjoy the gentle pace of life.
We are especially grateful to our guide, Regnard. He was dedicated, warm, humble, knowledgeable about the wilderness, and possessed a keen eye for nature. In the vast wilderness, he was intimately familiar with the tracks of birds and beasts, deeply understanding the patterns of the grasslands, always able to pinpoint hidden creatures and maximize the safari experience. He acted with composure and meticulousness, thoughtfully handling every detail and resolving any worries along the way. Even more commendable was his witty and open-minded nature; his conversation dispelled travel fatigue, transforming the monotonous journey into a vibrant natural classroom, making the wilderness trip not only scenic but also warm and enjoyable.
Eleven days of whirlwind travel, from the vast grasslands to the azure coast, were filled with breathtaking scenery and a sense of peace. Your local tour operator, with integrity and professionalism, lived up to the expectations of those who traveled from afar, imbuing this exotic journey with unique depth and warmth. This trip, filled with beauty and inspiration, is a heartfelt thank you, and we sincerely recommend it to travelers worldwide.

Almost too Easy
This trip was all around almost too easy to believe. I booked the trip rather last minute and Piniel was prompt with replies. This company made the daunting task of planning a safari in Tanzania remarkably easy. There was a driver ready for us every step of the way, the hotels were secured, and the food was provided. I felt that my 10 day safari and Zanzibar experience gave me everything I expected and more. Our safari guide Pius was wonderful. We saw so much up close and learned so much thanks to him. The food was all good, the hotels and lodges were perfect, and the hospitality was great as well. It was easily worth the money and made this a once and in lifetime trip come true. I would recommend this trip to anyone! The only things I would mention to others is to bring more money than you anticipate for tips.

Amazing
We spent several days exploring Ngorongoro, Seronera, and the Northern Serengeti with Domi, and it couldn’t have been better. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we came for, including the Big Five and the incredible wildebeest river crossing. His dedication and determination were impressive, and made the most out of our 4 day trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Incredible !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Domi was an amazing guide from start to finish. He was incredibly patient, friendly, and always took the time to answer all of our questions. You could really tell how much he knows about the wildlife and the parks. He never rushed us and always stopped whenever there was something interesting to see or a great photo opportunity. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable safari experience. Highly recommend!

I would repeat this wonderful experience with Serengeti Smile, and no one else
We were delighted to have our safari with Serengeti Smile, on the special occasion of our honeymoon. During July 2026, our tour included Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti (Migration), and Ngorongoro. The accommodations included Central Lodge, North Migration Lodge, Farm of Dream Lodge, Serena Arusha, and Serena Ngorongoro.
From the very first inquiry, communication with Serengeti Smile was prompt, clear, and reassuring. Godian answered every question quickly, and the itinerary preparation was handled smoothly and without stress.
Our guide Aminiel is attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. Please take this advice into account: your guide will make your safari. Animals don't come to you, you go to them…so an experienced and committed guide makes all the difference. High costs don't guarantee that, by the way; we witnessed some game drives from other companies and were quite concerned. If you have the chance, ask for Aminiel to be your guide, he will really make the difference!!!
Even when one of the Tanzanian airlines changed our flight itinerary, we could rely on Aminiel and the Serengeti Smile team to arrange everything, so we could live the entire experience!
Considering the quality of the accommodations, the expertise of Aminiel, and the seamless organization, this was excellent value for money. Nothing felt rushed or cut short to save costs. The dinners at the lodges/hotels were very good, and the lunch boxes for the safari, among many other things, exceeded our expectations.
The safari itself exceeded every expectation: incredible wildlife sightings, stunning landscapes, and a real sense of connection with nature. It was, without question, an unforgettable experience…and the best honeymoon.
