Fantastic safari tour operator
We booked Serengeti Smiles for a family trip to my father’s birthplace of Tanzania. It was important to us to use a company that was local, but also that delivered an incredible experience. Serengeti Smiles was both of those.
Our Safari guides were Walter and Zak. They were outstanding guides who were knowledgeable about all of the wildlife we saw. They had great instincts and were able to find all of the big five for us, including the elusive leopard and rhino. I would highly recommend both of them if you are requesting specific guides.
After the Safari, we spent time in Zanzibar, which was relaxing and gorgeous. Overall, I would recommend Serengeti Smiles without hesitation.

best and the most skillful driver ever
our tour guide Wilson was really a good and skillful driver, we just saw almost all the animals in the first day of Safari, and he was really a nice guy, always cares about us, BTW he literally got a Hawkeye cause he can find those animals in a really far distance. he also known a lot details and habit of those wonderful animals, anyway, i really recommend Wilson, best trip ever

Amazing, we saw all the Big 5 and the Wildabeest criossing.
It was a great trip, Abdi and Steve were great guides. They showed us everything we wanted to see and helped us get around town in Arusha. We had amazing wildlife sightings, food, cultural experiences, and nice accommodations for a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing
A car picked us up from the hotel we were staying at and drove us to the office. There my parents (they organised the trip) sorted cost out rather quickly and we were supplied with shirts and off we went. The tour guide, name Peter Kapino, was excellent. Water was supplied in the car, charging stations were turned on when needed. Stops at the best places were made with stores and food. We reached there within a good time. Most of the resorts recommend were great apart from one, but that is not a deal breaker to the tours themselves. Peter was flexible with all our times, and waited when we took too long. He understood English well, and was chatty and pleasant when we engaged with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us in-depth explanations about every park we visited and the animals within it. He managed to get us to the best areas for photos and though most of it was down to luck, I believe his skill in knowing the animals lead us to be able to see pretty much all the animals, save the migration which again was nowhere near a dealbreaker for me. One thing is the cost, as I did not help plan this trip I don’t know about cost, so if that is a major issue then be careful. But is was thoroughly splendid and I personally could both have imagined a better tour
