I’d like to clone this tour operator for all my international travel!
I can’t imagine a better travel ambassador for Madagascar! Our 14-day adventure included a delightful mix of hotel accommodations, restaurants, jungle tours, wildlife sitings, cultural and historical education, shopping experiences, and even a 2-day riverboat ride with tent camping and a refreshing swim under a waterfall! Tour Guide Joushia was an invaluable resource along the way with his translation help, cultural knowledge, unflagging enthusiasm, and accommodation of our several schedule-change requests. Driver Ambinintsoa skillfully negotiated the rural roads and city congestion, and faithfully safeguarded our group and our belongings. I can’t imagine a more positive introduction to this beautiful island nation!

A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our journey with Serengeti Smile was nothing short of unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our exceptional guide Domician. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his professionalism, warm personality, and deep understanding of the national parks. He was always on time, highly organized, and navigated every route with complete ease and confidence.
His background as a trained ranger really shone through. He shared his knowledge about the animals, landscapes, and ecosystems with genuine enthusiasm, and he always seemed to know exactly where to look. Because of his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five, along with cheetahs, hippos, and countless other animals. Every sighting felt special, and every drive was both exciting and comfortable.
What made the experience even more meaningful was knowing that Serengeti Smile is a local company that treats its employees fairly and ensures they receive proper compensation. Supporting a business that values its team and invests in the local community added an important and positive dimension to our trip.
Without a doubt, this safari deserves 10/10. We truly couldn’t have asked for more and would wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile — and especially Domician — to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Amazing vacation thanks to Tailor Made Safaris!
In January, we visited the holiday fair at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. We were looking for a safari in South Africa. The presentation at the Safari op Maat stand was the deciding factor for us. A tailor-made safari (with lots of input from us) in South Africa's Elephant Coast. Tailor Made Safaris put together a fantastic self-drive tour for us.
Everything is well organized, they listen carefully to your wishes, no effort is too much, and answers to your questions are never long in coming (thanks to our personal contact Angela). We received a beautiful travel book in advance with all the addresses, information about the country, customs, and where to find the best restaurants. The personal contact during the trip is also great.
We traveled through South Africa for 24 days—from Cape Town to the Drakensberg Mountains, Kosi Bay, Tembe Elephant Park, St. Lucia, Pongola Game Reserve, etc. to Makongo Hills. Here we experienced an unplanned trip, attaching a tracker to an elephant. In a word, it was a great vacation!
Special thanks to Angela.
Tailor Made Safaris - highly recommended!

First-Time Magic in Kenya
My trip to Kenya was truly unforgettable. What struck me immediately were the friendly people and the unexpected, meaningful conversations I had along the way. It felt special to be welcomed with such warmth and openness.
The nature was breathtaking, far greener than I ever imagined, and the wildlife made every day remarkable. As a first-timer, I experienced things that you can only do once for the very first time: a hot air balloon flight over the Maasai Mara at sunrise and horseback riding in Laikipia among the wildlife. Both were truly magical moments.
I also had an incredible stay at the private camp Enasoit, where the peace, scenery and personal service were exceptional. And in the Maasai Mara, I enjoyed delicious meals at Olkupelia, which became a highlight every evening.
Kenya exceeded all my expectations, in beauty, in experiences and in how deeply it stayed with me. A journey I will carry with me forever.

Good organitation
The communication was always easy and helpful, and the price–quality ratio was really good. Even though I didn’t trust them at first, I would recommend this company to any of my friends.
