Complete Satisfaction!
To see animals in their natural habitat was a dream come true. What beauty! Our guides, Moses and Antony were exceptional. Kind, courteous, educational and ready to take us at any time. We went to different reserves, stayed in amazing lodging, and did other tours other than game drives. We went to the Giraffe Sanctuary, Masai Village and a boat tour. All of it was top notch. Seven by Far Tours was excellent and we would definitely use them again.

Perfectly planned, informative and friendly
Our day out with Alex was fantastic - he shaped up a tour that took us to Nairobi national park, the giraffe centre and the Karen Blixen museum, allowed plenty of time at each, and made the whole thing easy. Communication was a breeze, pickup and drop off were exactly as planned, and Alex was a wonderful host for the day. Absolutely would recommend.

Great
The booking went smoothly and our questions, desires and queries were answered in a timely manner via email. When the time of the trip approached, the faster communication was via whatsapp. The driver / guide David was amazing, the trip went really well and we explored the country. The company made an extra effort and assisted us with a delayed luggage. Above all, a great experience.

Nyasi has been my go-to safari company in East Africa (esp. Tanzania) for years.
Nyasi Adventure has consistently given me everything I've wanted in my East Africa experience. I work in global environmental conservation and I have been working with Davis and Robert (Nyasi owners) since 2017. I have depended on Nyasi for field work, taking stakeholders on trips, and for my own sight-seeing. The company has never steered me wrong. I have always had a good experience and I never worry once I'm in country and in their vehicles. Davis (and Robert, whom I don't know as well) is fair, easy to work with, and fun to be around. If you are in Tanzania, I highly recommend Nyasi. Even if they are unavailable, they will be able to connect you to other, trustworthy companies in the region.

Authentic company that combines local expertise with a family welcome.
Our booking experience was simple and straightforward. Albert at Serengeti Smiles was very responsive and helped us tailor our safari experience. Payments were easy to make.
We opted for a five day safari covering Tarangire Safari Park, Ngoro ngoro crater, Northern Serengeti and Central Serengeti. It meant some longer connecting transfers but allowed us to see a wider variety of terrains. We also opted to include a hot air balloon ride.
Our safari guide was Max Ayo. We could not have asked for a better person to share our safari experience. We were collected promptly from our hotel by Max and we instantly felt at ease. Originally from Arusha, Max was able to share both local and safari knowledge.
Within the safari parks, Max was eagle-eyed and spotted things we would have missed. He was able to give us fascinating facts about the animals that we saw. He also seemed to know everyone and used his connections to stay on top of recent sightings.
While there are no guarantees about what you will see on safari, having Max played a huge part in us seeing the Big 5, a cheetah chase a buck, hyenas fighting over scraps and a crocodile take a wildebeast.
All of the accommodation provided was very comfortable, and provided a nice variety with a mix of lodges and camp sites. Dinners were filling and offered good variety. Packed lunches were provided by the previous night’s accommodation. They were simple but tasty.
Overall, we would whole-heartedly recommend Serengeti smiles. They provided excellent value for money and in Max, we made a new friend.

Reliable, honest and trustworthy
I really enjoyed working with Mr. Oscar. In addition to being polite and honest, he is very reliable, always arrived or sent a driver on time, all excursions and tours began and ended according to the program. We felt completely safe and were surrounded by care and attention. I will definitely come back again and address only Oscar. I recommend him and his company!
