Thank you to Serengeti Smile for helping us plan and execute a seamless trip to Tanzania!
5/5

We have just returned from an amazing trip to Tanzania where we were able to experience a magical Safari through Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater followed by a relaxing few days in Zanzibar. We are so grateful to Patricia who helped us with planning the trip months in advance and personalizing our itinerary to fit our needs. She suggested lodges and luxury tents to meet our needs and found us a wonderful Safari guide to help us through our adventure. Patricia was also available to us throughout our trip and was very accessible throughout. We also enjoyed day time tours of Arusha, a coffee plantation, and visit to a Massai village. We had a wonderful trip and made countless memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Serengeti Smile!

An amazing safari with Serengeti Smile that exceeded my wildest expectations!!
5/5

We selected Serengeti Smile for our Safari based on a number of things but in particular the response we had from Baraka. Numerous emails over a 10 month period always answered promptly and no question was ever too small. Baraka helped us to develop an itinerary that worked perfectly.
We requested Champion as our guide and were so lucky to have him. His knowledge and understanding of the environment and the animals was amazing. We were lucky enough thanks to Champion to have 5 leopard sightings really close, many many lions from tiny cubs to full grown males, elephants from huge bulls to tiny almost newborn and more than one sighting of the remaining two of the big five- buffalo and rhinos. We saw 2 wildebeest Mara river crossings and also an elephant Mara river crossing which is not so common. Champion looked after us very well and we were happy with the accommodations and food provided through our 8 day safari. Serengeti Smile you are truly the best safari operator in my opinion!!

An exceptional experience with a guide giving every effort to exceed our wishes and expectations
5/5

Serengeti Smiles from our first inquiry were very speedy answering our questions. Options given to us were helpful. We feel it was good value for money. We chose midrange but it was very comfortable both vehicle and accommodation. Our guide Champion however was top of the range. Couldn't fault his ability to find animals for us and remain courteous and kind and delightful company.

Wonderful safari but do not recommend
4/5

Do not recommend.

Good: Wonderful safari with skilled wildlife driver. We enjoyed what we would like to see, great river crossing, big 5 animals, etc.

Bad: 1. Office response is not speedy after we paid the balance.
2. The unacceptable thing is the office changed our camp without any information. Even I pushed them to provide the details and explanation, they still not tell me the new camp’s name. Please image you will be taken to an unknown place at wildlife park, what do you think?!

5/5

They run an excellent tour service. The salesperson who assisted me was very responsible and always replied to my messages promptly. Both our driver and interpreter were great‑warm‑hearted, and the driver drove very safely. We managed to spot all kinds of wildlife we hoped to see. I would definitely choose this travel company again if I visit Tanzania next time.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Smile Safari! From the beginning to the end,
5/5

A very special thank you to our guide, who truly made this trip unforgettable. He was professional, friendly, patient and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, nature and Tanzania. He always knew where to go and made a real effort to find the best wildlife sightings for us. Thanks to him, we saw so many incredible animals and experienced moments that we will remember for a lifetime.

We always felt safe and comfortable, and never felt rushed. Our guide listened to what we wanted to see and made every safari day exciting and enjoyable. He was not only an excellent guide and driver, but also a wonderful person to spend several days with.
The whole safari exceeded our expectations. Beautiful places, incredible wildlife and excellent organization.
We highly recommend Serengeti Smile Safari, and especially our fantastic guide. Thank you for making our Tanzania safari such a special and unforgettable experience!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience!
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Smile! Everything was organized perfectly from beginning to end, and the whole trip exceeded our expectations. The team was incredibly friendly, professional, reliable and always made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of.

Our safari was truly unforgettable — we saw so many incredible animals, visited beautiful places and learned so much along the way. Everything felt very well planned, while still being relaxed and enjoyable. The service, communication and attention to detail were excellent.

We are so grateful for all the wonderful memories we made in Tanzania. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better company to experience it with. We would 100% recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone planning a safari!
