Good in communication, need to be improved vehicle safety
Our communication with Serengeti Mystery Adventures were very smooth. Responded immediately whatever we asked. It made us really relieved. Trip it self went well according to the schedule. Only one things disappointed and not able to recommend was lack of safety in quality of vehicle such as no seat belt, broken handle, car break down (old battery). Cars need to be well maintained.

Harrison was exceptional, he became part of our family during our trip!
My family and I recently embarked on an unforgettable 8-day safari, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
From the moment we landed to our departure, every aspect of the journey exceeded our expectations. We were warmly greeted at the airport and transferred to our first destination, then picked up the following day to start our National Park adventures. Each park brought it's own surprises, but all were filled with wildlife and views. We were amazed at how close we were to some of the animals, witnessing elephants walking in front of your jeep is truly an incredible experience. Harrison, our guide's knowledge of the park’s history and wildlife made the experience even more enriching.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural wonder that took our breath away. The diverse landscape within the crater provided an excellent backdrop for our game drives. We saw an array of wildlife, including the elusive black rhino; which seeing that helped us complete seeing the "Big Five."
I can't say enough positive words about Harrison. He was exceptional! His extensive knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture significantly enhanced our experience. He was not only a guide but a storyteller who brought the history and wildlife of Tanzania to life. His enthusiasm when trying to get us to a wildlife sighting, patience as we wanted to sit for periods of time to watch the animals, and attention to detail ensured that we had a flawless and enjoyable trip.
Overall, we had absolutely no complaints. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, the food was delicious, and the entire trip was well-organized. Every day brought new adventures and unforgettable moments.
HIGHLY recommend this to anyone thinking about doing a safari!

SMA provided the perfect environment and guide staffing for an unfortgettable safari adventure
SMA provided us with two guides, one younger and one oled guide/driver, which worked out wonderfully for our family of fourt (2 adults and 2 children 11+14), as we received a lot of attention and educaitonal information from the non-driving guide while the driver focused on the roads. we saw all Big 5 plus so much more. from black cobra and rock python fighting with Marabu Storcks to a Wildebeest defending itselfagainst a lion attack to lions going in formation to sneak up and kill their prey. we also saw a leopard and cheetah plus many elefants, lions, hippos and even a rhino.
we stayed in amazing plazes and could not have planned our 5 day rtip any better, spending 3 days in Serengeti and 2 days in and around Ngorongoro Crater.
Great experience
Make sure to take with you a daily dust mask with exhalation valve. Check with your driver tiolet stops in advance as in some places you won't be able to get out of the car.

Well done
Communication with the rep/sales (Deus) was excellent. Driver-guide Kalvin was also polite, punctual and knowledgeable.
Points to improve though are vehicle - could have been newer (keep in mind very dusty and shaky roads, so additional comfort would not harm), program though good - I was not aware of Tarangire national park, hooked only by the big names of Serengeti & Ngorongoro - so it was a perfect addition, but more precise info would have been nice, especially about times - as from Tarangire to Serengeti it took almost the whole day and not just 1,5 as it was stated in the program.
Also it feels like that you should better know what you want on safari - otherwise stops times might be either too long or too short.
Accomodation was quite good, especially Baobab tented camp.
Lunch could have been better - lunchboxes are provided by accomodation mostly, but we spotted also one group being catered with metal pots instead of humble lunchboxes, so there is room to grow (consider to buy some snacks in advance )

Wonderful safari of a lifetime
This is our first time visiting Africa and first safari. Reservation manager Mr. Deus customized itinerary based on our visit time. Everything went smoothly. Hotels and meals were very nice. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our driver and guide was Mr. Kefas along with Mr. Isaac. Mr. Kefas has extensive knowledge and is very dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience. He was very experienced in spotting animals and we were able to see all big fives and other big and small animals. Seeing them in different settings and behave differently is very eye opening. And getting to learn more about them is also very interesting and humbling. It was busy five days. We covered a lot of ground, visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Grumeti area, and also Maasai tribe village. We saw a lot of animals, experienced a lot of culture, went on a few ATV like rides, and brought back a lot of memories.

Very informative and caring tour company and guide
We did the five-day tour. At the start of the tour, two parties were arriving at two different locations -- one at the airport in Arusha and one at the airport in Kilimanjaro. Deus from Serengeti Mystery helped coordinate pick-up at both locations and brought us to Kikuletwa hot springs (at our request). The driver had packed lunch for us to eat while we were there. After the springs, we were brought to the hotel we had booked to spend the night. In the morning, the driver picked us up and brought us to Arusha airport for our flight to the Seronera airstrip in the Serengeti. Once we arrived there, we were picked up Keyfas (hopefully the spelling is correct), our guide. Starting directly from the airstrip, we began our safari adventures.
Keyfas was an awesome tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and was super patient in both dealing with us and in finding animals. He went to great lengths to make sure we saw all the animals we could possibly see. He also helped coordinate with the hotels we were staying in. At one point, a member of the party had forgotten their laptop at a hotel and he spent two hours driving out of the way to go get the laptop. He was, without a doubt, an awesome guide!

“Unique experience”
We spent 5 unforgettable days on the safari! The group we chose was excellent, as was our guide, Focus! I would recommend it to everyone, as it’s one of the most affordable options and they are very professional!
