Unforgettable safari experience
My friend and I have just finished a 5-day private safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
A big part of that was our guide, Edward. Thanks to his experience and knowledge of the parks, we were able to see all of the Big Five. Beyond that, he was always happy to answer our questions, share interesting facts, and make sure we had all the information we needed throughout the trip.
We are coming back home with amazing memories and a much better understanding of Tanzania, its wildlife, and safari life in general.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide and feel very lucky to have had Edward with us for this adventure. Highly recommended!

An amazing safari
We have just finished a private safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and I can honestly say that Edward was a huge part of what made this trip unforgettable.
From the very beginning, Edward was professional, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn't just drive us from one park to another—he helped us understand everything we were seeing. Whether it was animal behavior, hunting strategies, social structures, migration patterns, or simply answering our endless questions, he always took the time to explain things in a clear and engaging way.
We were two friends traveling in a private jeep, and Edward made every day enjoyable. He has a genuine passion for wildlife, and it shows. He was constantly looking for the best sightings and sharing interesting facts, even before we thought to ask.
Thanks to his experience and determination, we managed to see all of the Big Five during our safari. As if that wasn't enough, we were also lucky enough to witness a live cheetah hunt, something we never expected to see in our lifetime. Moments like that don't happen without a guide who knows where to be and when.
Beyond his skills as a guide, Edward is simply a wonderful person to spend time with. He is kind, wholesome, respectful, and always made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania and have the opportunity to choose Edward as your guide, do not hesitate. He helped turn an amazing safari into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Thank you, Edward. We will be talking about this trip for many years to come.
Excellent operations
I recently went on my first safari, and choosing a company is very hard when you don't know anything about the company. I was lucky to choose the right one. Patricia and Zac are hardworking individuals who represent the company's values and beliefs, putting the guests' needs first. Thanks, guys, for making this a memorable holiday.
I give 6 starsif I could. ❤️🇬🇷

Our incredible 8 day trip to Tanzania
Organising our trip with Serengeti Smile was excellent. Piniel was very helpful in getting us the exact trip and experience we wanted at the best cost we could afford. We started with a fantastic day hike of Kilimanjaro with a really great mountain guide. Wisdom (our driver) was also really accomodating as he picked us up from different places and taking us to our next destination. Then we met John, our safari guide for the rest of our trip. And that was absolutely exceptional. We got to see so many animals and experience unforgettable events (such as witnessing the hunt of a cheetah finally catching a gazelle). John was an amazing guide and made the trip so enjoyable for us. Highly recommend.

A top-notch team, well-organized, and always kind and welcoming with good advice.
We went on a 5-day safari as a couple. We visited Tarengire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, and finally, the Ngorongoro Crater. We were contacted by Erick after requesting a quote through Safari Bookings. He was always very friendly and responsive, and he prepared a tailor-made safari for us based on our requests. During the safari, we were accompanied by Zuzu, our French-speaking guide, who was attentive throughout the trip and has extensive knowledge. We learned and saw so much. We were also accompanied by Édouard, our English-speaking driver who speaks a little French and always made sure we had the best possible experience. They were always very kind, smiling, and welcoming. We really enjoyed sharing our different cultures with them!
We highly recommend Serengeti Smile for a safari. We're now off to Zanzibar for new adventures!

Five stars all the way up
From pick up to pick up great service. Domician was our driver very friendly and he is local from a town near arusha. We had chance to see all the big fives thanks to him. The smile company was great coordinating with me during my stay.

that’s sooooo cool!
Our trip to Serengeti Smile truly exceeded our expectations! From airport pickup to drop-off, every detail was perfectly arranged. Our guide was professional and humorous, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and pinpointing the best viewing spots, allowing us to witness the awe-inspiring migration of lions, elephants, and wildebeest up close. The 4x4 vehicles were comfortable, and the accommodations and meals were even more thoughtful than anticipated, especially the romantic and unforgettable dinner on the savanna with the sunset. The entire trip was filled with a sense of security and constant laughter. Serengeti Smile truly lives up to its name as the "Smile of the Savannah"! Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of visiting East Africa.
