Too good to be true
First of all, the way I learned about the Serengeti Smile was through an online review. There were a lot of good reviews, so I trusted and chose it. There are times during a safari tour when you have to move quickly or get a good spot to see a specific animal, and the ability of a guide is very important. Including your ability to get to know about animals, including your luck, and all this, the champion was such a great guide! The champion is a professional who also tells a lot of pleasant and funny stories!

Fantastic safri experience with Ozon Light
We had an amazing 5-day safari with Ozon Light, visiting the Tarangire NP, Ndutu area and the Ngorongoro crater. Everything was very well organized, the company representative was quick to respond to all questions and requests, and all the accomodations were excellent. Our guide Alan was very knowledgable, about the wildlife in particular but also the local culture. He showed great skills in finding all the animals we wanted to see, and made exactly the right calls about when it was worth being patient and waiting and when it was time to move on.

Great profession
The serengeti smile provided a very reasonably priced and good service. In particular, our guide, champion, was a tremendous professional and passionate guide, and did his best to show and experience many things to us. Thanks to that, I was able to experience various animals and beautiful Tanzania. If I have a chance, I would like to go on a safari tour with the serengeti smile, especially champion.

Highly Recommend Benja as Your Guide in Uganda
在多位朋友的推荐下选择了这家旅行社，果然不负所望，我们的向导是Benja，他真的非常非常有耐心并且有极优秀的驾驶技术，去Jinja和去看银背大猩猩的路况很不好，这是我之前没有了解到的，但是Benja的驾驶技术高超，很会挑选道路，我家人一路都在夸赞他开车胆大心细。
除此之外，他还在路途中主动介绍路过的景点，以及在保证安全的情况下也给我们短暂停车拍照路遇的美景和一些动物，很耐心很细心。由于我们的英语不是特别好，在追踪大猩猩前的分配向导时，Benja一直跟着我们，帮我们及时跟上向导，这点很让我意外也很感动。
乌干达的旅游很精彩，但回头细想，精彩旅程最重要的就是有一位驾驶技术优异并且有时间概念的向导，这样才会大大增加游玩的体验感，很荣幸我们遇到了这么一位向导，真心感谢他并且强烈向即将要来乌干达旅行的游客推荐这家旅行社以及Benja！
Following recommendations from several friends, we chose this tour operator, and they did not disappoint. Our guide was Benja, who was incredibly patient and an exceptionally skilled driver. I hadn't realized how challenging the road conditions would be on the way to Jinja and to see the mountain gorillas, but Benja navigated them masterfully. He has a great instinct for choosing the best paths, and my family repeatedly commented on his confident yet cautious driving.
Beyond his driving, he took the initiative to point out landmarks along the way. He was also thoughtful, finding safe spots for us to briefly stop and photograph the beautiful scenery and animals we encountered. This really showed his patience and attention to detail. As our English isn't the strongest, we were especially touched when, during the guide allocation before the gorilla trek, Benja stayed with us to ensure we kept up and were assigned correctly. It was an unexpected and truly heartwarming gesture.
Our trip to Uganda was fantastic, but reflecting on it, a skilled and punctual guide is absolutely essential for such an experience; they truly elevate the entire journey. We feel so fortunate to have had Benja. We are genuinely grateful to him and highly recommend both this tour operator and Benja to anyone planning a trip to Uganda.

Incredible experience
The tour was perfectly organized, everything went smoothly. Ibra was a very good guide: he is very competent and gives a lot of info about animals, nature and life in Tanzania. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. The accommodations were always beautiful and clean. If you add to all of this that nature is stunning and we were able to see the animal very very close, then It is the recipe for a perfect trip! Worth every penny!

Exceptionally brilliant
Our African safari arranged by Matumi Destinations is something our family will talk about forever.
As Australians travelling with teenage daughters, we weren’t sure who would enjoy it most - but it turns out, all of us. Our kids absolutely loved the thrill of tracking animals from our open game vehicle almost as much as seeing them up close.
Our guide Gert was outstanding - friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every time the vehicle stopped, we learned something new, whether it was about the Big 5 or the tiniest creatures. Learning about the Open Plan system, where vast pridelands and surrounding reserves connect into one massive borderless wilderness, really brought home how special it is to see animals roaming freely.
Gert spoke to us about the lodges’ and operators’ efforts to prevent rhino poaching, and after seeing these majestic animals up close, it's easy to understand why they're worth every bit of energy protecting.
There are many moments will stay with us forever: the smell of the bush air in the open vehicle, eating biltong while watching a lion rest under a leadwood tree, hearing an elephant flap it's ears as it walks past, or heading out on night drives armed just with a spotlight (slightly scary, but very exciting - especially when a buffalo’s eyes reflected back at us in the darkness) are only a few.
Our evenings were pure magic too. We'd sit around a log fire under a sky full of stars, listening to the sounds of the river, the bark of wild dog not too far away, and sleep in a five-star retreat right inside the reserve.
Matumi and Gert, our own guide, gave us experiences we’ll never forget from the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off again.
Now that I'm back in Australia, the African bush seems like a world away but I have no doubt that we'll return - just to revisit one of the memories we made on our incredible African adventure would make it worth it.

Amazing safari experience with seeing all the Big Five!
I had an amazing experience with Swahili Safari Escape. Everything was very well organized, and the safari itself was unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which made the trip even more special.
Peter took great care of everything before and after the safari, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Even though my schedule was short, I was able to enjoy a very full and meaningful safari experience. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari.
I definitely want to come again.
