An amazing safari with Serengeti Smile that exceeded my wildest expectations!!
We selected Serengeti Smile for our Safari based on a number of things but in particular the response we had from Baraka. Numerous emails over a 10 month period always answered promptly and no question was ever too small. Baraka helped us to develop an itinerary that worked perfectly.
We requested Champion as our guide and were so lucky to have him. His knowledge and understanding of the environment and the animals was amazing. We were lucky enough thanks to Champion to have 5 leopard sightings really close, many many lions from tiny cubs to full grown males, elephants from huge bulls to tiny almost newborn and more than one sighting of the remaining two of the big five- buffalo and rhinos. We saw 2 wildebeest Mara river crossings and also an elephant Mara river crossing which is not so common. Champion looked after us very well and we were happy with the accommodations and food provided through our 8 day safari. Serengeti Smile you are truly the best safari operator in my opinion!!

They made sure we all were taken care of and were able to see all the animals
The day started out raining but that didn’t stop them from showing us all the animals. We got to see so many giraffes up close.

Very available
We took a private safari tour in Tanzania and were very satisfied with the experience and organization.
Special thanks to our Italian guide Nelson, our driver Joel, and our chef Prospar, all professional, kind, and always available. Nelson was an excellent guide in Italian, knowledgeable, and passionate. Joel took us to see all the animals we hoped to see, demonstrating his great experience, while Prospar won us over with his cuisine: even at the campsite, he prepared truly excellent dishes.
We had some unexpected issues, including a car problem, which was resolved quickly without us missing a day of safari. Even the issue of camping towels, which we hadn't been told we needed to bring, was resolved by the agency purchasing them for us before departure. We really appreciated their ability to quickly find solutions.
Overall, the itinerary was well-organized. The only thing I'd improve on was the day at Ngorongoro: we started from a point quite far from the crater entrance and wasted a lot of time on the journey, leaving us with little time inside the crater.
The only other small complaint concerns the car: compared to the other jeeps we saw during the safari, ours was dirtier and didn't look like it had been washed before departure or during the safari.
The overnight stays were overall good, except for one very basic one, due to the fact that we had chosen the budget package. One of the campsites, however, was truly beautiful.
Overall, it was a positive experience, with a few areas that could be improved: the team's helpfulness and professionalism were the best thing.

Easy communication
An excellent agency for the Kilimanjaro climb; communication via email in English was prompt, and the welcome at the agency on the day of departure was great. The two guides (Ramashani and Toeydi) were perfect—highly experienced and attentive to our needs. The porters and the cook gave us the best possible chance of reaching the summit.

Competent, caring, and always attentive
We were satisfied with the trip organized by Savana, where we saw everything we wanted to see. Our only comment is to better evaluate the transportation to the lodges, as the journeys are often tiring.

Everything perfect
My experience with Asili Explorer was wonderful. We went on a four-day group safari, including one night in a lodge and two nights in a tent at a campsite. Everything went smoothly with the organization; Joe picked us up at the airport and they dropped us off even with our flight delayed. The safari was wonderful, and we did it at the most economical option possible. I highly recommend them; they're incredibly professional and helpful.

THE BEST
I had the amazing opportunity of partaking in a two day safari at the Ngorongoro Crater and the Tarangire National Park. We started our amazing experience by getting picked up from our hotel in Arusha and after a smooth two hour drive we arrived at the fig tree lodge and it is genuinely something out of a fairytale as the rooms were amazing, the place is stunning and the service is efficient (you could even buy souvenirs there). First day at the crater we were woken up by an amazing breakfast to fuel us up as we woke up around 6am and it was so worth it! We spotted most of the animals apart from the cat family which we ended up seeing on the second day at the Tarangire park. Both days we were given a delicious lunch (don’t be scared to go for seconds) and it was genuinely an amazing experience which I recommend and has to be done once in your lifetime. I would like to thank Ben which was our driver on the second day, he was so welcoming, given us plenty of fun facts and his high experience helped us spot so many animals.
