Well organized safari with a fantastic guide
We had a great time on our five day Safari with our Safari Guide named Good Love. He is a passionate guide and created a very thoughtful itinerary for us So that we got to see everything that we could in five days. He is an expert in identifying birds, as well as seeing animals from extremely far away. He is also very safe driver. As well as kind! We had an experience we will remember forever.
Communications Before the Safari were good. The accommodations varied but all were nice and clean. And the dinners were also good.
Recommend! Two thumbs up!

Professional, responsive, and well-balanced Kruger experience.
Ric was highly responsive and addressed all my questions in detail. The Kruger National Park trip I booked struck a great balance between luxury and affordability. I’d definitely recommend Junglers.

Fantastic Safari in Tanzania
I recently returned from an exceptional vacation in Tanzania with friends. The trip was organized through a local company, Serengeti Smiles. We found that arranging the trip directly with Serengeti Smiles was more cost-effective than going through Swiss or German agencies, which we had initially considered. For those who are not accustomed to organizing travel independently, using a travel agency might be advisable. However, the savings and the experience of working directly with a local company were well worth the effort. Having previously organized self-drive safaris in Botswana and Namibia, I felt confident in this approach.
From the outset, Eliad from the main office was extremely helpful. He proposed an excellent itinerary and schedule, accommodating our specific requests. Once we confirmed the offer, everything was meticulously organized. I extend my gratitude to Eliad and the team for their outstanding work.
Our group consisted of five people: two couples and one teenager. The trip included a 10-day safari for all five of us, followed by an additional five days in Zanzibar for three of us. For the safari, we had a private guide and vehicle for the entire duration.
Special thanks are due to Pius, our guide and driver for the 10 days in the wild. He was a safe driver, attentive, knowledgeable about wildlife, and possessed a great sense of humor. Over time, he became a friend to us. We enjoyed not only the time spent in the vehicle searching for animals but also the evenings at the tented camps and lodges, where we dined and conversed around the campfire. We highly recommend Pius as a guide for anyone seeking an enjoyable and informative safari experience.
The vehicle provided was as depicted in the company's promotional materials. It was comfortable, with an open top for excellent wildlife viewing and photography, and equipped with charging stations. However, the roads, particularly in the Serengeti, were challenging and took a toll on the vehicle, which was not in its prime mechanical condition. We experienced a few breakdowns, and on one occasion, a replacement vehicle had to be sent from the city. Nevertheless, Pius handled these issues with professionalism, keeping us informed and ensuring our safety at all times. He also maintained the vehicle daily, ensuring it was clean and ready each morning.
The lodging arrangements were flawless. We received the specific room configurations we requested (one single, one double, one twin) without exception, despite booking relatively late. The lodges were excellent. Arusha Planet Lodge and Farm of Dreams Lodge in Arusha and Karatu, respectively, were very comfortable. In the Serengeti, we stayed at tented lodges: Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp, Mara Heritage Camp (Kogatende), and Serengeti Kifaru Tented Lodge. Kon Tiki and Kifaru are permanent camps with more upscale amenities, while Mara Camp is temporary and moves according to the season, offering a more rustic experience. All accommodations were excellent, with amenities such as hot showers, toilets, washbasins, and mirrors. The food was consistently very good, served buffet-style, and the staff were extremely welcoming and professional. We particularly enjoyed spending time around the campfire, mingling with the staff and sharing stories.
I cannot provide a review of the Zanzibar portion of the trip, as our friends are currently en route there from Arusha. They will provide a separate review.
I highly recommend Serengeti Smiles to anyone looking for an exceptional experience in Tanzania.

Incredible experience, we loved everything
Our safari was an incredible and unforgettable experience. We saw so many animals (elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, etc.) and had such a thrilling time. Our guide, Graceson, was very helpful and did everything he could to show us as many animals as possible and to fulfill our requests. He also took us to visit a Masai village. Our chef, Miriam, cooked delicious and rich meals for us. Mountain Warriors brought together a wonderful group of people from different countries, so we made new friends along the way. We stayed twice in lovely lodges and twice at a campsite. It was truly an intense experience. We recommend everyone to go on a safari with Mountain Warriors.

The Dancing Simba team is friendly and well organised. The experience is good value for money.
This was our first safari experience and my first time in Africa, and I can safely say that it is one of the best weeks we have ever had. We spent one day in Lake Manyara, two days in Serengeti, one day in Tarangire, and one day exploring the Materuni waterfalls and doing a coffee tour. Every day was completely different and we got to see a unique environment with beautiful animals. Dancing Simba Safaris was always committed to making sure our needs were met. David was always accessible and helpful. He gave us an upgrade on a few of the accommodation days because he wanted to make sure we had the most comfortable stay. We mostly stayed in lodges and some "glamping" sites, and all of them were very comfortable.
One of the best parts about this week was the guides!!! They were so welcoming, approachable, and incredibly hard-working. We ended up becoming really comfortable with them at the end of our trip. Special mentions:
Julius: super friendly guide, always smiling and positive. He always went out of his way to make sure we were making the most of our time there. Great music playlist!
Owen: Very friendly and absolutely lovely guy
Fausten: Very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had about the animals.
Endu: we only got to spend a short time with him, but he was full of energy and made us laugh so much. Great Bollywood knowledge!
We also had a lovely chef with us for the week called Joseph, who catered to my dietary preferences (pescatarian).
Thank you so much to Dancing Simba for this wonderful experience that we will be talking about forever. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering doing a safari experience in Tanzania.

Three Day Safari with Bush and Forest, amazing Experience!
I did a three-day safari with Bush and Forest, visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was an amazing experience.
We saw a lot of animals and the nature was beautiful. Our guide was very friendly, professional, and explained everything really well.
It was a unique experience that I will never forget. I totally recommend doing a safari with this company!
