Excellent tour
We booked 7 days safari tour through Jungle Roam and from the beginning we were very satisfied. The communication with them was smooth, flexible. Our guide David was absolutely amazing, professional, knowledgeable not only about animals and wildlife but we get to know Kenya better thanks to him. Also all of the people from the agency are very helpful, we felt very welcomed, so we can definitely recommend! Thanks for this amazing experience.
Well organized and reliable
We had an outstanding experience! Benji was an exceptional guide, and we enjoyed our time. I would highly recommend! From the airport pickup to the provided lunches and the drop-off at the airport, everything was exceptionally well organized. I will personally refer friends and family to Termite Tour Travel.

Exactly what we have planned with them
I spoke with Enchanted Destinations in advance to organize our tailor-made private safari. Everything was respected, and the price was fair.
The guide was great, and very professional (always on time, helpful, good advices, etc...).
I recommend
Friendly and responsive
We booked our first ever trip from US to South Africa with Moafrika tours. Rishen was our main point of contact and was consistently very responsive and helpful. He was able to adjust our tour to our desires adding and subtracting days and even travelers as others joined our trip. Every time we had a sang or question Rishen and Moafrika were able to adjust on the fly and help us. Everything was smooth safe and high class. Highly recommended

Moloko is so entertaining and informative.
You should really consider this tour. We saw a lioness and a lion on our first ride. Food was nice too!

Excellent service. Very happy with my decision to book with Serengeti Smile.
Jambo! Thank you, Serengeti Smile, for a fantastic once in a lifetime experience. I booked this solo trip to mainly witness the great migration in Serengeti and wasn't disappointed. I started my search in March. I contacted a handful of companies but wanted to work with only Tanzanian owned company. Lambert was my contact, and he was very responsive to my questions and concerns and very prompt on Whatsapp. He suggested visiting July end which was perfect. From start to end, I was very happy with my experience but for a few things which I will address at the end.
Oswald received me at the airport and next day was a packed but relaxed pace tour of Arusha. Oswald was very helpful and good local guide. It was reassuring to see Oswald waiting at the airport after a long journey, He taught some Swahili words and shared some history about Arusha and Tanzania. Thank you, Oswald, for the warm welcome and introduction to Tanzania! Also, on the last day taking me the airport at 2 am and waiting patiently and cheerfully until I was through security was greatly appreciated.
My safari guide was Deo, and he was excellent. His knowledge of the parks, animals and roads (you really need to know where you are going) was incredible. I felt very safe and well cared for throughout the journey. He took off the beaten roads and did his best to find every animal I wanted to see. I saw all Big 5 except rhino much to my disappointment. He drove tirelessly with genuine care and has eagle eyes in spotting animals. He knew the right time when the wildebeests would cross 2 days in a row and got me front row seats. He truly wanted his guest to have an amazing experience. He was also an excellent photographer, and I was more than happy to entrust my camera to him. I couldn’t have asked for a better companion for this journey. Jeep was kept clean, and the glass was clear to take pictures. Thank you, Deo, for being my guide and sharing your knowledge and country. I hope to come back and see more animals, more chases, all the Big 5.I highly recommend Deo as a guide.
About the itinerary, I would've preferred to skip Tarangere and spend more time in Serengeti. About the accommodation, I really liked the Classic Safari Camp Lodge in Central Serengeti. The hotel at Karatu, Omega wasn't up to par. They included beef samosas for a vegetarian in my packed lunch. I know mistakes happen, but I wasn't happy biting into beef. Staff was great in all the lodges. All the lodges were clean and well maintained. They tried to make my stay very comfortable. Many vegetarian options. Packed lunches were good.
About things that should've been handled better, I had requested rooms close to the reception since I didn't want a long walk, but that didn't happen. There was some breakdown between the hotels and Serengeti booking staff. I would also like Serengeti Smile to organize better cultural experiences for the guests such as Masai village. They weren't very organized or well prepared in this area.
Overall, the trip was amazing and met my expectations. I highgly recommend Seregeti Smile for your next safari.

THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE
Our safari in Tanzania was amazing. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It has been an unforgettable. The lodges we have stayed in were fantastic, specially the staf!!!!
And the best part of the trip was our guide, Rajabu, a local guide that speaks spanish and knows a lot about the sabana.
Asante Sana!!!

The only company I'll ever choose for a Safari
This was truly a life changing experience. I don't normally write reviews that are this long, but this experience deserves a full spotlight.
The vehicle:
The safari vehicle is incredibly comfortable. It has about 7 seats and room for luggage. We were only 3 which was nice because we could jump from seat to seat for the view. The seats are comfortable and the vehicles are cleaned each day. The roof opens up for you to be able to get a better view of the incredible things you'll see. There are outlets, cupholders compartments and pockets and many other things to make this your 4 day home. Each day you have a meal at your lodge and then a lunch is packed for you. This tour company packs real delicious food so you sit down to eat rice and meat and vegetables each day.
The guide:
Ben!!! He was the perfect guide- really the best guide I've had on a tour led activity. His knowledge of the animals and their behavior shows just how many years he's spent observing everything. He is fun and treats you like family. He himself has fun on the safari, but he takes safety very seriously so there are difficult patches of road in which he concentrates- a point we really appreciated. He went above and beyond by taking us to places to make our hades, to see viewpoints and even to take care of our endless need for bathroom stops.
The parks
Honestly this Is a must do experience. Many would prefer longer Safari's and it is true that more days in the Serengeti can help you have the chance to see more animals, but we were so happy with the 4 days. It was just long enough to see 4 of the big 5 and a ton of other incredible animals, but it wasn't so long that we got restless being in a car for so many days. The parks will change your life. The facts you learn will give your life more meaning and purpose.
The company:
I spent a long while researching safari companies and finally chose samora explorers for one important reason - I sensed that we would be treated like family. We are three 20 something girls traveling alone and I wanted us to have a safe feeling like we are family. That is why I chose this company and that is exactly how they have treated me: like family. Iddy was so so helpful. After months of communication he never got frustrated. He always went above and beyond researching things and even giving me discounts and reminders. The company is through, family oriented, trustworthy, and so super helpful. There is no other company if rather have my adventure with!!!
Look no further, choose this company!!
