A fantastic journey in Tanzania with the best guide Zack
Jonyo as our consultant has made a perfect individual itinerary for us. It took almost two weeks to discuss the plan and the accommodations. He has totally provided us 8 versions and finally closed everything. It is a big challenge for a family with teenagers like us so Jonyo combined one-day Kilimanjaro hiking and long term safari gaming. For a 10 days Tanzania safari trip I think it couldn’t be even better.
Also million thanks to our great guide Zack, we had unforgettable experiences in Tanzania. We got the Big five and the cross with him. At the last day we’ve even seen the lions eating their breakfast. Lucky for us, we saw the cross twice in different places and different time in one day. That’s all because of the rich knowledge and experience of Zack. He was also very nice to cooperate with us to change the itinerary during the trip, to make sure we had chance to visit Olduvai Gorge Museum. That’s also a quite interesting place worth to go.
Will recommend to my friends. Next time when I back I hope I can travel with Zack again.

Expertly Planned, Incredibly Guided a journey to Remember
As someone who had dreamed of visiting Africa for years, this 10-day safari with Serengeti Smile was everything I hoped for and more. Traveling as a family, we wanted something that was both adventurous and well organized and Serengeti Smile delivered on every level.
From the start, Baraka made the planning process incredibly smooth. He was attentive, flexible, and genuinely cared about making the experience perfect for us. Every detail was handled with care from our comfortable, well-situated accommodations to the seamless logistics between parks and lodges. I especially appreciated how relaxed and hassle-free everything felt.
But what truly made this trip stand out was our guide, Champion. His passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the parks turned every game drive into something special. We saw an incredible variety of animals including some up-close moments I’ll never forget. He always managed to find the perfect spots for viewing and was more than happy to adjust the day based on what we were most excited about.
Champion also brought a great energy to the trip professional, easygoing, and fun to be around. By the end, it felt like traveling with a good friend who just happened to be an expert in everything around us.
If you're considering a safari, don’t hesitate book with Serengeti Smile. It’s more than just a vacation; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m incredibly grateful to have shared it with my family through such an exceptional company.

A Dream Safari Brought to Life by Serengeti Smile
Our family just returned from a 10-day safari with Serengeti Smile, and the entire experience exceeded all expectations. This was our first safari, and it was truly unforgettable from start to finish.
Baraka took excellent care of us during the planning process. He was responsive, thoughtful, and put together an itinerary that matched our preferences and budget perfectly. We stayed in nice accommodations throughout—comfortable, well-located, and offering great service and views. Everything was well-organized, and we never had to worry about logistics.
Our guide, Champion, was outstanding. He made each game drive engaging and informative, and his knowledge of the wildlife and parks was incredibly impressive. We asked plenty of questions, and he answered each one with patience and insight. His ability to read the environment and position us for the best sightings led to some truly unforgettable moments—lions, elephants, a leopard, and so much more.
Champion also did a fantastic job tailoring each day to our pace and interests, which made the experience feel relaxed and personal from beginning to end.
If you're planning a safari, we wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile. Baraka and Champion created a once-in-a-lifetime journey for our family, and we’ll be talking about it for years to come.

Fantastic tours, easy booking and great experience
From the outset Munashe and the team at Fuhara (Matthew, 'Hippo', Tomic, Delight and everyone else we met) were amazing. Great communication and we added on transfers, a Vic falls tour and sunset cruise all at the budget prices (better than any other provider we enquired with). The tours were brilliant, information filled and safe. We did the budget camping option for Chobe 2d/1n and the camp tent was great for us under the stars with a camp fire. Also a unique tour as you get two game drives and two boat trips, which most other companies do or offer. They were able to cater for vegetarian diet easily too.
Overall excellent experience and thank you to the whole team. 5/5, would easily recommend to anyone looking to travel to Zimbabwe/Zambia/Botswana.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Serengeti Smile
1. Unforgettable Safari Experience with Serengeti Smile
We recently returned from a 10-day, 9-night safari in Tanzania, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we started planning, Baraka made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. He really listened to what we were looking for, worked within our budget, and still managed to line up some of the most beautiful lodges and unforgettable experiences. Every detail was well thought out, and everything ran like clockwork.
Our guide, Champion, took the experience to another level. From day one, he made us feel comfortable, safe, and completely immersed in the adventure. He kept us laughing, answered all of our questions with insight and patience, and his deep knowledge of the wildlife and parks brought everything to life. He tailored each game drive to match our interests and always managed to get us into the best viewing spots.
Together, Baraka and Champion, through Serengeti Smile, crafted a journey our family will treasure forever. We highly recommend booking with Serengeti Smile if you're looking for a seamless, personal, and truly special safari experience.

It's been great! It was especially nice that Eric and driver John were with us! They're the best
We booked a tour easily and simple. Paid the minimum price, and received maximum colichesvo points on the program. Especially I want to note the Navy jeep with comfortable seats, safety on all the way. The best impressions were made by Eric and driver John. They always tried to do as best for us. Always helped us and did all our wishes. We saw all the animals from a big five and even more. We were very much saphari. I recommend everyone to buy Safari from this firm. It's a key to excellent travel!

Professional and welcoming
I joined a 3-day Masai Mara tour with guide Kevin, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Kevin was not only a skilled driver but also very knowledgeable about the animals and local cultures. He answered all my questions with patience and enthusiasm. The company itself was highly professional and made sure everything was well organized. Because of this, I was able to fully enjoy breathtaking views, encounter incredible wildlife, and take some amazing photos.
