Incredibly professional tour operator
Me and Matteo did the 4-Day safari experience from dec 31 to jan 3rd starting from Arusha under the guidance of John, our special guide that greatly contributed to enriching our experience!
Day 1 we visited the Tarangire park, wonderful animals and landscapes
Day 2 and 3 - Ngorongoro park, Maasai village and Serengeti were we found ourselves immersed into paradise, everywhere we looked we could see incredible landscapes and animals everywhere. We slept in the Sera tented camp and Karatu tended camp that is situated inside the Serengeti and gives a full experience of the African safari wildlife.
Day 4 - Ngorongoro Crater: a natural wildlife park that doesn't even seem real. In the crater all the animals live side by side in harmony creating a truly magical place that we will never forget.
Every place and experience was enriched by our guide John that wisely indicated facts about the environment and the animals all along the way and made our safari even better.
We suggest to everyone to book through this tour operator - they are the best!

Absolutely incredible
Thank you so much to Serengeti Smile for an incredible tour. An even bigger thank you to our tour guide, Fadhil. He was amazing, super knowledgeable about the area and animals and ensured we got the best views and all with a smile. We saw so many animals. A dream like experience. We specifically chose this package as you get a full day in the Ngorongoro Crater. The accommodation at Marera Lodge and Sero Camp was fabulous and the lunch boxes were epic.

Great communication and fun trip
We did a luxury 12 day trip with Serengeti Smile that included safari and beaches. The communication throughout was amazing and we were able to customize our trip. It was reasonably priced! We HIGHLY recommend doing the hot air balloon tour - it’s worth it.
I encourage folks to look up the hotels being booked to ensure they’re what you expect. Accommodations vary and you should know what to expect. Luxury is defined differently by everyone.
Our safari guide, Goodluck, spent so much time with us looking for animals and we had a blast. He gave us animal info and made sure we saw everything we wanted.
Nungwi beach in Zanzibar is very crowded and not what we expected. If we were to go back we’d go for a quieter area of the island. But we still were able to relax. Do your research to ensure you know which area is best for you.
Overall a great experience with Serengeti Smile.

Reliable w/ good communication.
We booked a 9 days Serengeti safari. Communication from pre-booking until departure was excellent and quick.
Everything happened as arranged and at arranged cost.
This was our second time in Serengeti and our informed specific requirements were well catered for by our guide, John.
Overall, good value for money.

Trip of a life time, thanks to Ayubu & Serengeti Smile!
We had the most amazing experience, all thanks to Serengeti Smile! The service from start to finish was 5 star. Albert from sales was so patient & answered all of our questions. We changed our dates & times so many times before deciding which trip to do & Albert was great - he wanted us to have the best trip! Once we arrived we didn’t have to think about anything but looking for the animals. Ayubu (best driver & guide ever!) came & picked us up from our hotel & was the most friendly guy you could have hoped for. We chose a 4 day / 3 night Safari & it was amazing. The accommodation, the car, the food - everything was exactly as we had hoped & more. We saw the big 5 by day 2!!! Ayubu was an expert in finding the animals & giving us so many facts - thank you!
Overall, I can’t recommend Serengeti Smile enough !!

Fantastic experience!
We had an incredible experience with Serengeti Smile. Our guide, Ayubu, went above and beyond to ensure we spotted the big five, making the journey unforgettable. The owner, Albert, was a joy to communicate with. We highly recommend Serengeti Smile as a tour operator for a memorable safari adventure!

Professional, responsive, friendly - great for tourists, but may be not for wildlife experts
Just returned from a great holiday with our 3 children with 5 days safari, 1 night in Stone Town and 3 days in Villa Kiva.
From the start Serengeti Smile responded extremely quickly and professionally to our questions, and made tour adjustments to meet our needs, plus were competitively priced. The trip proposal was very similar in layout to other companies and really met our needs well. We saw many more animals than expected, and enjoyed getting to know our friendly guide, visiting a Masai village and having great quality time together. Overall a real 5 star holiday experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the large animals, was enthusiastic and able to tell us many great stories. There seemed to be some knowledge gaps though when it came to birds and trees. When in South Africa previously and particularly when we hadn't seen a large mammal for a while our guide would point out maybe a bird, an insect or trees and plants to tell us more about them and keep us interested. I think this would have been helpful here particularly with the children, but wasn't too critical for us. If you are budding nature experts however, this may feel like a miss.

Amazing experience and great guide
Really loved the safari. Our guide ( Ayoub) was super good, he spotted animals that I struggled to see with my super zoom camera ^^
The car is very confortable. Cleaned every day.
Our experience was magical. We saw lions cheetah leopard zebra giraffes buffalo elephants wildebeest antilope impala, monkeys,,…
Only missing the rhino from the big 5. We saw one in Ngorongoro but from very far. Couldn’t get a descent picture.
We stayed at the Serena hotel and it was the best choice we made. It cost more but it is worth it. Really make the full experience magical.no regret.
I compared many options and Serengeti smile was the best for price and options. You can’t beat them on the Serena Hotel price for sure.
