Best experience and service
Our trip to Kenya was absolutely unforgettable, and we owe so much of that to Kimberly and the incredible team at Smart Voyage & Safari.
From the very beginning, everything was organized flawlessly. Every transfer, every hotel, every activity, and every detail was perfectly planned, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
Our safari in Masai Mara exceeded every expectation. The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five and countless unforgettable moments that we will cherish forever.
Our stay at Giraffe Manor was truly magical and one of the highlights of the trip. Everything was seamlessly arranged, making this once-in-a-lifetime experience even more special.
After the safari, Watamu was the perfect place to unwind. The beautiful beaches, crystal-clear ocean, and peaceful atmosphere created the ideal ending to an incredible journey.
What impressed us most was Kimberly’s personal attention, responsiveness, and genuine care throughout the entire trip. She was always available, ensuring everything went smoothly and making us feel completely looked after.
If you’re planning a trip to Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly and Smart Voyage & Safari. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences are truly exceptional.
Thank you for giving us memories that will stay with us forever. We can’t wait to return!

Very professional and organised
I did not have any headache with the tour operator unlike my past experience. Every thing was well curated which gave me value for money. I'd definitely recommend them any day.

Friendly, helpful and quick response
We had an outstanding experience booking our Victoria Falls, Zambia trip with Naomi. The accommodation, activities, and transfers all went smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the incredible beauty of Victoria Falls and Zambezi Dusk Lodge. We highly recommend her services to anyone planning a visit to Zambia and Victoria Falls!

Wonderful, Organized and Professional
We were a group of 4 friends that went on a 9 day tour of Madagascar. Mialy was amazing through the entire booking, handling any questions leading up to the trip and even met us at the airport. Our tour guides Hasina driver Jimmy were amazing and so friendly. Hasina made sure that we saw everything. The tour completely surpassed our expectations. We were so lucky to see the beauty of Madagascar and its people. I cannot wait to return.

Superbly organised, great value for money.
We’re so happy we chose Nafika for our Kilimanjaro climb. Everything was superbly organised, with Swiss-level punctuality, and the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely made every day of the trek a pleasure.
Their singing during the final summit push kept us motivated when we needed it most, and it will stay with us forever.
A huge thank you to our guides, Justin and Frenki "Meru", for leading us safely to the summit, to Elias for the outstanding organisation, to Jonas for some of the best food we've ever had on a trek, and to all the porters for carrying everything up the steep Umbwe Route. Your hard work and positive attitude made this adventure possible.
Two tips if you're planning to climb Kilimanjaro:
The portable toilet that Nafika provides is absolutely worth it. Trust us—you'll understand why once you're on the mountain. (Not every company provides one.)
If you're fitter than expected and descend earlier than planned, be aware that the extra hotel night in Moshi is not included in the package, as it replaces a night you would otherwise have spent on the mountain.
If you descent earlier go and experience Moshi for a true glimpse of what is life looking like in this part of the world.
Thank you, Nafika, for an unforgettable adventure. We couldn't have asked for a better team!

Surreal
The tour was an exhilarating experience especially if you love nature. The tour guide was educating us about the animals as we came into interaction with them or spot them. She was also very friendly, kind and thoughtful she gave us blankets in the morning as it was cold.

Lacking
Our driver Freddy M. Was exceptional at finding wildlife. Freddy was dangerously aggressive driver as squeezing a lady on her pedal bike onto a truck(happened). Freddy did not hear or chose not to hear my request for lunch box( fruit) till I got upset. The transfer of drivers to get to the airport was surprise and not agreed on, caused us concerns and unnecessary trouble, stated in emails guide to take us to airport period. Freddy only talked to our daughter and basically ignored Donna and I.

Splendid organisation of the tour with a heartful team
The office is very responsive on WhatsApp and open to any questions about the tour. The drive to/from the hotel is very reliable and on point with good drivers. The team on the tour readily answer any questions regarding the tour/animals/scenery/food and are very hearty people and fun to spend a few days with. For the price you pay you get that and more than expected. Can only recommend! Thanks to the team of Daniel, Naftaly, Stephen, Simon, Stephen, Sammy, Mary and Stella for the wonderful experience!

Impeccable service from start to finish. Philemon was attentive, reliable, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable, making every part of the experience seamless and enjoyable. My family and I booked both the boat cruise and game drive with him, and they were easily some of the highlights of our trip to Chobe. His professionalism, warm hospitality and knowledge of the area truly set him apart. Exceptional value for money, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
