Best safari experiencw for first timers
5/5

We had an amazing safari experience and couldn’t have asked for a better trip. What made it even more special was that we chose a small local company—they were incredibly professional, friendly, and truly cared about making sure we had the best experience possible.

A special thank you to our guide, Champion. He had an incredible eye for wildlife and spotted so many animals that we would have completely missed on our own. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made every game drive exciting. He was also extremely helpful, kind, and always made us feel comfortable throughout the trip.

We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Tanzania. If you’re lucky enough to have Champion as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable safari!

Our safari exceeded every expectation, and that was largely thanks to our incredible guide Samuel. From the very first day, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes.

Samuel was patient, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about what they do, making every game drive exciting and educational. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip, and their warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to Samuel, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five as well as many unforgettable wildlife encounters.
This wasn't just a safari—it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania. Thank you for giving out family memories that we will treasure forever!

Champion was a great scout in finding all the animals!
5/5

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Serengeti Smile safari with two othe couples. It surpassed all expectations. Our trip planning was especially easy with Godian's professional guidance and quick response to our questions before and during the 6 day trip. Accommodations were quite comfortable and well appointed in our tent camps, and the food was plentiful and delicious each meal of each day.

Our guide, Champion went above all surprising us again and again with great vantage points so that we could enjoy the natural habitat of the "Big Five" and many other varieties of big beasts and fowl. One of the days, my wife and were unable to travel with the group, and Champion went well above expectations so that we missed very little. We highly recommend that you consider Serengheti Smile for your safari adventure as we hope to join them again some time.

Lastly, we found that this particular safari package was priced more modestly and gave us wonderful views of the animals with full descriptions on habitats, migration patterns, and their hunting and defense techniques.

Great safari trip

Had a wonderful safari experience and trip with Libe who knew a lot about the animals. Although some of the accommodations changed last minute, in our opinion they were betters than those planned before.

Serengeti Smile exceeded our expectations for an incredible and amazing safari!
5/5

Safari Smile was fantastic! Godian was professional, prompt and most helpful before and during our safari in his communication with us, answering all our questions and arranging for all our transfers and needs. We wanted to support a local tour operator but also to receive the benefits of their local knowledge and networking. Champion, our second generation guide, was phenomenal. His ability to spot animals, foresee their movements, his extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna, culture and history, along with his excellent relationship with other guides allowed for an amazing experience. We had fun, felt safe and well taken care of.
The accommodations were comfortable and the staff at each of their lodges and camps were helpful, conscientious and joyful! We loved the singing! We are running out of superlatives to describe our experience!

Serengeti Smile - Simply Amazing
5/5

Our 6-day safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti was truly the trip of a lifetime, and our guide, Champion, made it unforgettable.

From the very first day, Champion was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the wildlife and the Serengeti. Thanks to his expertise, we experienced breathtaking sightings and were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other incredible moments that exceeded our expectations.

What stood out most was the personal attention Champion gave our group. He always made sure we were in the best position for wildlife viewing and photography, patiently answered every question, and shared fascinating insights about the animals, landscapes, and local ecosystem. His passion, positive spirit, and sense of adventure were contagious and made every game drive exciting.

Champion didn’t just guide us through Tanzania—he created memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.

Serengeti Smile is incredibly fortunate to have a guide like Champion. If you have the opportunity to go on safari with him, consider yourself lucky. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Champion, for an unforgettable adventure and memories we will cherish forever!

Thank you Serengeti Smile. Thank you Champion !
