Julius is reliable, precise, and always ready to meet your needs.
I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who—like me—doesn't live a life of luxury but doesn't want to miss out on a unique experience that should be had at least once in a lifetime.

Excellent guide, friendly well organized company
We booked two day-trips from Moshi, one to Arusha Nationalpark, the other to Tarangire. The organization was very fast, from one day to the other everything was organized. In Arusha-Nationalpark we booked a walking safari, to get in real contact with nature. It was very nice, we could see the great Mount Meru and some smaller animals. After that, on the way to the place where we had lunch (with the car now) we saw a lot of giraffes and had plenty of time to watch. On the way back we saw monkeys and even hippos.
On the second trip we went again with Kiva, who is a great guide. In Tarangire we had lunch with elephants. They did make their lunch break at a little river, drinking, playing, swimming, it was so nice to watch them and again it was not only a short look but plenty of time. Kiva found a lion for us, who was lying under a tree and was not disturbed, what is also very important to me. Thanks to Kiva!!! and Migration Venture Africa. If I go back to Tanzania I would love go with you again!

Amazing Safari Adventure in Tanzania
Great experience with Serengeti Clarity. Teresa’s communication was prompt and thorough as we planned this once-in-a-lifetime trip. One small accommodation hiccup came up but was eventually rectified. We highly recommend the accommodations at Mbuni Serengeti Camp and Eileen’s Trees Inn.
Shout out to Ebenezer, who picked us up from JRO and gave us a great city tour to start the trip.
My husband researched extensively, and from previous reviews, we knew we wanted Abdul Mhando as our guide. Wildlife encounters depend on nature and timing — never guaranteed. But Abdul’s experience made all the difference, positioning us perfectly for photos and videos. He has sharp eagle eyes, spotting wildlife from far distances. As he put it, “you are here to see” — and he made sure we were in awe of what we saw. He’s also courteous, polite, and a safe driver on the bumpy roads — we always felt safe in his hands.
Huge thanks to Teresa, Ebenezer, and Abdul for an incredible safari. Highly recommend — be sure to ask for Abdul! Asante sana!!
Tips: Vegetarian meals are well accommodated, but pescatarian isn’t always available. Bring toilet paper, a buff for the dust (dry season), and hair ties + good conditioner — hair gets knotted and dry. Don’t expect wifi in the vehicle or reliable network in parts of the Serengeti.

Simply out of this world—👍
It was an unforgettable trip. A huge thank you to Artem. We hadn't experienced such a wealth of impressions and such an explosion of emotions in a long time. We saw so many beautiful animals right next to our comfortable jeep; the driver anticipated exactly where they would emerge onto the road, so we always managed to both watch them and take photos. The logistics were expertly planned, and the hotels along the route were excellent. We definitely recommend this trip and will certainly be back.

Exceptional
Had the most amazing time climbing Kilimanjaro with the amazing team behind kiliclimb! The experience really exceeded expectations, the food was amazing, the guides, porters, and janeth were all super attentive. I rented a sleeping bag for the hike which wasn’t particularly warm which I did mention after the hike and they discounted the price I paid and hopefully they can invest in better ones for future! A lot of effort is put in by the porters (13 in total) to get equipment to camp which we preemptively underestimated when we calculated tipping - we didn’t realise how many there would be! All in all great experience and would highly recommended :)
Unbelievable
Unbelievable tour and absolutely recommend to anyone. Did 5 days/4 nights in Uganda with gorilla trek, chimp trek, and Queen Elizabeth national park. Great communication with their team, answered all questions quickly and efficiently and they took care of all my permit stuff. The activities were genuinely unbelievable and once in a lifetime. Did the budget lodging option and it was insanely nice with great value. Worked with Jason during the booking and Darius and Dan during the tour, the team was great.
Awesome
Had a great time on the tour. Very fast communication with their team and got questions clarified quickly. My schedule was quite different than others (3 nights Masai Mara, 1 night Nakuru) so I joined other groups throughout the trip, the logistics were actually quite impressive. My main driver for the trip was Dennis Hinga who was great, I also got James and Kikitu for other legs who also did a great job. We got up real close to the animals without disturbing them and got incredible pictures and experience with them. Solid accommodation for the budget level. Absolutely recommend.

Dom was fantastic, very knowledgable and professional at his job.
Dont really know where to start on how much of an incredible time me and my partner had whilst on safari going through the serengeti, taranguire, lake manayara and ngorongoro crater.
A massive thankyou to the tour coordinator mr frederick, he was outstanding, quick at replying to emails and always giving the best advice and reccomendations.
We wouldnt of had the experience we did if it wasnt for our tour guide dominik. From the get go he was professional in every way and giving useful information as we was enjoying our safaris. Having an unexpected cancellation of flight it would of meant missing the crater but somehow dom mamaged to squeeze it in such a small time frame. Dom also played a massive part of finding us the most incredible spot of the serengeti for our engagement he went above and beyond and we couldnt thank him in enough, if anyone was going to want an experience like we did i would definately recommend him!
Overall we had the most incredible time with serengeti smile they wouldnt of made us feel any more welcome so thankyou to you all.

Amazing
Our experience with Serengeti Smile was nothing short of exceptional, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, Fredrick, our booking agent, was outstanding. As travellers from the UK booking with a company based in Tanzania, there is naturally a degree of uncertainty, but Fredrick completely put our minds at ease. He was always incredibly quick to respond, answered every question thoroughly, and provided valuable guidance and suggestions to help us make the most of the time we had available. His professionalism, knowledge, and reassurance gave us complete confidence throughout the booking process, and we knew we were in safe hands long before we arrived.
Our safari itself exceeded every expectation, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide and driver, Dominic. From the moment he collected us from our hotel to begin our adventure, right through to dropping us at the airport, he was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had the best possible experience.
During our safari, we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dominic worked tirelessly to make sure we saw everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to see the entire Big Five multiple times throughout the trip. His ability to spot wildlife and position us perfectly for sightings was truly impressive.
What made the experience even more special was how far Dominic went above and beyond for us personally. He worked with my partner to help plan the perfect location for a proposal, creating a moment that we will cherish forever. On top of that, when our return flight was unexpectedly changed and brought forward, meaning we would lose our final morning game drive, Dominic found a way to get us back into the park the day before. Not only did he save us from missing out, but he also helped us spot two rhinos — the final animals on our safari bucket list. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable trip.
We genuinely cannot thank Dominic enough for everything he did. He was far more than just a driver and guide; he was the person who made sure we experienced every moment we had dreamed of and more.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we would wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile. The service, communication, organisation, and overall experience were exceptional from start to finish. Should we be fortunate enough to return in the future, we will absolutely book through Fredrick again and would not hesitate to request Dominic as our guide.
Thank you, Serengeti Smile, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.
