5/5

We had an absolutely wonderful safari trip with Serengeti Smile. Our guide Regnald is extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsible. He tried his best to help us find all kinds of wild animals patiently, gave us detailed introductions about the wildlife and local scenery. The communication was smooth, the service was thoughtful and reliable, and the trip was great value for money. We really enjoyed this unforgettable journey and highly recommend this team to every traveler coming to Tanzania.

Reliable and safe for booking your trip
5/5

Serengeti Smile came in contact with us through Patricia. She was our main point of contact during the booking of this safari. She took care of everything while still answering all or questions and doubts without much delay.
She appointed Joshua to us as a Guide for the whole Safari. He was very kind to us and told us a lot of details during our Safari. Joshua was very helpful to try to get us to see as many different animals as possible.
We appreciate Patricia’s patience and Joshua’s effort during our trip.

Serengeti Smile
5/5

We had an amazing safari experience in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Serengeti Smile and Zack as our guide, and we highly recommend him!

We were a family of five: two parents, 17-year-old twins, and a 13-year-old, and Zack made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. He was always punctual, patient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable.

He worked hard to find the animals we were hoping to see, gave us plenty of time to watch them and take photos, and answered every question we had with enthusiasm and expertise. He knew how to adapt the experience to all ages, making it interesting and enjoyable for both the adults and the kids.

What stood out the most was his calm personality, professionalism, and genuine passion for wildlife. Thanks to Zack, our safari became one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania.

If you’re lucky enough to have Zack as your guide, you’re in great hands. Highly recommended!

Deo is an enthusiastic guide with plenty of experience and knowledge and answers every question!
5/5

Overall loved travelling with this company, service was great everything was on time. Super flexible with our group, if we didn’t like anything, it was always possible to go around or figure out another way. It is quite expensive, but there’s definitely reasons why that is, especially later on in the trip.

Amazing tour
5/5

Our family booked an 8-day, 7-night wildlife safari, and it was truly a magical journey. Every experience on this trip has become a cherished memory that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Our driver and guide, DEO, was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped to see, making this safari even more unforgettable.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to DEO for his outstanding service and dedication. Thank you for giving our family such an amazing and once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We truly enjoyed our safari experience over the past seven days with our guide, Deo (Dale). He is pr
5/5

The company is professional, trustworthy, and offers good value for the money. The itinerary was well organized, and overall we had a wonderful experience.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to reduce the amount of time spent driving for travelers on a 7–8 day safari. Spending a little more time in the parks and less time on the road would make the experience even better.

Overall, we are very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend this company to our friends and family.

Libe was amazing! Very knowledgeable and accommodating
5/5

This was one of the most fun and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat was exciting, and every drive felt like a new adventure because you never knew what you would see next. The scenery was beautiful, our the guide (Libe) was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience was relaxing while still being full of excitement. Watching elephants, giraffes, lions, and other animals up close made the trip feel truly special. I would recommend Serengeti Smile to anyone because it’s a unique experience which created memories we’ll never forget.

Fantastic safari experience with a highly skilled and professional driver - Barnabas
5/5

Really great experience, our driver Barnabas made sure we saw all the animals in great viewing spots.
Including countless lions, leopards, cheetahs, the great migration etc. Barnabas was very skilled navigating the rough terrain and knew exactly what to do when we had vehicle troubles.

The best driver and guide in Tanzania!
5/5

Barnabas is an absolute legend! He made our safari unforgettable. His knowledge of the animals and the parks is incredible, and he has a magical ability to spot wildlife that we would have completely missed. Beyond his driving skills, he is kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about his job. We felt safe and well-cared for the entire time. Asante sana, Barnabas!

Safari bliss
5/5

What an amazing experience!
We travelled as a group of 6 friends, 3 couples in our 50’s and 60’s. We planned a safari to see a few of the main Tanzania parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro conservation area, and Serengeti (central, and the northern part close to river Mara). While up north we also went on a lovely balloon ride at sunrise!

Serengeti Smile and their tour expert Godian were super responsive, professional and efficient, helping us plan the itinerary to suit our interests, offering prompt support throughout the trip (including visa questions, airport transfers when required), and organising excellent accommodation and the balloon ride.

The safari itself was an incredible adventure, our driver and guide Champion Gody made sure that every day brought new amazing sights - he is the best wildlife spotter! Calm, patient, knowledgeable, he guided us through these amazing 6 days of Tanzania safari experience. It truly felt like the trip of a lifetime, and this was due to Champion’s approach and experience.

The Serengeti Classic View and the Migration tent camps were extremely comfortable, had excellent food and amazing welcoming staff (especially Denis the Migration camp manager who talked to us about their solar power and how the camp can be easily demounted and moved, leaving no trace in the natural park!)

We would definitely recommend Serengeti Smile, we’d all come back to the same company and guide for another trip, to southern Serengeti!
