Nature at its finest!!
5/5

We had an unforgettable 4-day safari with Serengeti Smile where everything was tailored to our needs and organised by the company so the trip ran smoothly. Our driver, Abia, was superb - friendly and full of interesting facts which made the experience so much more enjoyable. The safari itself exceeded all expectations with memories made to last a lifetime. We managed to see the big 5 which was a spectacular view. Thank you Abia and Serengeti Smile for such a wonderful trip.

Amazing Adventures with Domi
5/5

Serengeti Smiles arranged an absolutely amazing guide for our 7 day Safari, Domi. Domi’s knowledge of the parks, routes, the animals, birds and culture is exceptional. He has developed a fantastic network of guides that he constantly communicates with to assure we were at the best location for observation and pictures. He has a fantastic sense of where to place our vehicle to view and take breath taking photos. Finally, he assures each nights lodging and meals are excellent and goes the extra mile to assure each day is enjoyable.

Use SERENGETI SMILES & Domi for best Safari!
5/5

My husband and I booked a 7-day Tanzania safari with SERENGETI SMILES and have been incredibly happy with the booking process and Safari price with Pinel, for making the arrangements and a few modifications, as well as our tour guide, Domi!
In fact, Domi’s guide services have been beyond our expectations! He asked about our interests the first day, and has been very persistent and assertive in getting just the right spot in the Land Cruiser for us to get amazing close-up photos of the Big 5 animas as well as many more animals and birds. He ensures the Land Cruiser and windows are clean every morning and there are cold drinks and box lunches. He is extremely knowledgeable about animals and birds and has great experience to know where to find these amazing animals as well as to communicate with other guides for the absolute best photographer point of view. He also has proven his elite driving skills by not getting stuck in a lot of mud (like some other guides) in the parks or getting caught in flooding from a torrential rain downpour. We HIGHLY recommend SERENGETI SMILES and DOMI for the best North Tanzania safari experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible 5-Day Safari Experience with Serengeti Smiles
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing five-day safari experience with Serengeti Smiles. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine kindness.

Piniel was our main point of contact and was incredible. He communicated with us via WhatsApp the entire time, was extremely responsive, and helped with everything—from airport transfers and hotel arrangements to planning our safari route and matching us with the perfect guide. His service was so outstanding that we even met him in person at our hotel in Arusha.

Our guide, Hussein was phenomenal. An excellent driver, incredibly knowledgeable, and so kind throughout the entire trip. Thanks to him, we saw all of the Big Five and more—lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and even a very rare black rhino. He answered every question we had and made the experience both educational and unforgettable.

The value for the money was exceptional, and we couldn’t recommend Serengeti Smiles more highly

Professional & experienced
5/5

We have just completed a 5 day safari across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu & Ngorongoro. We have the best experience of our lives. The booking process was smooth and any questions we had were answered sufficiently and quickly.

We were lucky to have Zack as our guide who was absolutely brilliant. We felt safe at all times, he was a very skilled driver even in difficult conditions. Zacks knowledge and experience was superb, his eye for spotting different animals and choosing what routes to take really made our experience and meant we were able to see some incredible sightings. We saw more than we ever expected we would thanks to Zack including a serval cat, 3 leopard sightings, 4 rhinos, many close elephant and lion encounters and so so much more.

We would recommend Serengeti smile to anyone thinking of coming to Tanzania, we have truly had the most amazing time and are feeling very grateful for the experience we’ve had.

Outstanding Safari Experience – We saw it all!
5/5

​We had an unforgettable 4-day safari for 4 people thanks to our exceptional guide Pius Meiliar. He was incredibly polite, calm, and attentive to our every need. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we managed to spot not only the Big 5, but also the Ugly 5 and Small 5, always getting us close enough for the perfect photos.
​His eye for detail was amazing—he pointed out everything from lions and rhinos to "Pumbas," unique lizards, and tortoises. Communication was seamless, and the daily itinerary he planned was comprehensive and perfectly structured. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and full safari experience! The overall experience relative to the price was more than great, offering truly exceptional value for everything we experienced.
