Great experience with trip and guide!!
We had a great experience with Serengeti Smile. Our first interactions were via email where we had quick and clear responses on our questions. The most important part of the trip, next to the itinerary, is the guide and we locked in with our guide Champion. He was very easy going (hakuna matata couldn’t be a better fit for him) and also knowledgeable when guiding us through the safari. We loved him! We saw tons of animals and nature which was the main purpose of the trip but also extra experiences I didn’t expect such as the birthplace of the human race (cradle of birth) and visited a Masai village. Really cool. I couldn’t asked for more in terms of experiences.
The only thing I would advise future travelers is to do your homework on the itinerary. I didn’t fully understand it until we were out in the safari. I have no regrets but didn’t expect the days to be so long which can be hard for kids if you are traveling as a family. I would ask about the time in the car to make sure it meets your needs or if you want to customize certain parts of the itinerary.

excellent
we had a great experience with Serengeti Smile.
Booking agent - Jonyo - We highly recommend him. He booked all our stays and planned out the entire trip. Everything went great.
Guide/driver - Lucas - He was excellent. Saw all big fives. Had 4x4 land cruiser with two rows(not the one with three rows) which was way more comfortable and roomy than the regular land cruisers that has three rows. Lucas is very knowledgeable and patient. We were a family of four and kids of 9 and 13 years of age. Lucas took appropriate time to stop, describe animals and take pictures.
We witness the migration and were staying at different hotels every night. I think it was worth spending night at different places since central, western and northern Serengeti have different ecosystem. We had enough time for shopping and also visit Hindu temple(BAPS) in Arusha.
Overall we were very happy and satisfied with our trip.
Hotels that we stayed at - Maliaka camp, Kirawira Serena camp, Serena lodge in central Serengeti, Mt Meru hotel and Farm of dreams.
All are good hotels.
Thanks.
