Professional and helpful
I did a five day safari. The safari at the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks was amazing! I chose to stay in a tent which I think was the best way to connect to the nature. I saw all the big fives and took many photos and videos. It was an experience that I never envisaged that would change my perspective of life but it did. I would like to come back next time to learn more about not only the nature and the animals but also the Maarsai culture and how to engage with them.

Unforgettable 15-Day Safari! Fantastic Guide!
Our three-generation family of six had an unforgettable 15-day safari experience thanks to Jon Paul, our dedicated safari guide at Serengeti Smile. Jon Paul was knowledgeable, punctual and professional, with a friendly, welcoming demeanor and willingness to answer our endless line of curious questions during the trip. He was a wealth of knowledge concerning wildlife hotspots, animal behavior, local customs and Tanzanian culture. He was experienced (25 years) and well connected with the safari community; he always knew exactly where to be in order to ensure first-class wildlife sightings for our family on any given day. He put our needs above all else and customized our daily game drives to suit our preferences in the moment. Every day out was successful, with highlights including spotting 6 cheetahs within one hour in Central Serengeti, watching a lion feed on a wildebeest in the midst of the great migration in the Western Serengeti, spotting two black rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater, finding seven leopards, including a captivating close-up encounter for our family alone in Tarangire, and locating several tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara. Jon Paul was very familiar with the lodges and logistics during our travels, coordinated our boxed lunches and kept our crew comfortable (including 2 kids) throughout the journey. Serengeti Smile enabled us to experience a customized itinerary enriched with numerous cultural experiences and add-ons, including meeting and engaging with the Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga people, going on several walking safaris with park rangers, handling ancient fossils in the Olduvai Gorge, and partaking in a hot air balloon ‘safari from the sky.’ The variety of excellent lodges on our trip kept the evenings exciting and offered great sunset views; the food and evening entertainment were great every step of the way. Thank you to Serengeti Smile and Jon Paul for making this trip truly extraordinary and unforgettable for three generations of our family!

Amazing operator!
Our trip was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all our expectations. Every lodge we stayed in was amazing—comfortable, charming, and perfectly located. The human service throughout the trip was excellent, and the wildlife experiences were simply indescribable. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was beyond anything we could have imagined.
From the very first contact, Susan provided impeccable service. She was always quick to respond, attentive to our needs, and made every effort to tailor the trip exactly the way we wanted. Everything went smoothly without a single issue, and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.
We highly recommend Discover Africa and will definitely plan future trips with them!

Spot on in every way
We used this company for a full week of exploration including Kruger Park, the panoramic route, chimp sanctuary and transportation to the airport for our flights home. They sent the same wonderful guide/driver for the whole week and he made every trip memorable and informative.

Wonderful
We did a three day Keurig private Safari with our guide Jerry. We had a fabulous time, the people, the scenery, the wildlife… we loved every second.

The best of Africa
Bring heavy coat for safaris, it gets cold at night and early morning and the open cab lets cutting wind come thru.

Four-day Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater extraordinary safari experience!
I didn't think it was possible to see so much in just 4 days, but Seven Wonders Safaris made it possible. Our stay in Karatu was great; the food was also very good. I was amazed by the natural beauty of Ngorongoro. To see lion and cheetah sitting side by side in the Serengeti one evening - it was like dreaming!

Semu Gorila Safaris
It was a great experience in Africa, the trip was personalized, I was the only tourist, my guide was very kind, smiling and patient, I value your great experience and knowledge, took me to various places of interest, was very punctual and contributed to making my experience unforgettable. Although it was a few days, I managed to see Girafas, Lions, Elephants, Panthers, monkeys and other animals in their inhabitants, many of them through binoculars as in the park they do not walk very close to humans.

Meeting Rodger is the luckiest thing for our trip.
This travel agency is relatively affordable and we are generally satisfied with it.
Let me talk about the unsatisfactory aspects first:
1. The Chinese customer service said that you can only specify a guide if you customize the group, but in fact, if you find the boss guide who has a schedule, you can give priority to the guide you want. In the end, our favorite Rodger was not the originally designated guide. Fortunately, Rodger is quite good, but I think this needs to be communicated with us in advance.
2. The guide got the wrong address for the hotel address for the last two nights and took us to another hotel. This is not the guide's problem, because the hotel recorded on his itinerary is not the hotel we booked, but after we raised the problem, he contacted the company in time to deal with the problem, but the Chinese customer service told me that the room type is a tree house, but we only stayed in the camp.
Satisfied aspects:
All because of Rodger, this perfect guide, I can ignore all the above dissatisfaction and still give a 5-star praise! He is very sincere, enthusiastic and experienced! He can always predict the movement trajectory of animals and find the best position in advance! We have experienced lions, elephants, giraffes, etc. walking in front of our car many times! You can fully trust his professional ability and experience!
