Local Business providing 5* Luxury
I was initially nervous about traveling solo as a woman, but Arcadia Safaris made everything seamless. My guides, Brian and Stanley, were incredible — I never once felt alone. They catered to my every need and treated me like royalty while remaining professional, warm, and attentive.
I saw all of the Big Five and had experiences I’ll never forget. The accommodations were excellent — I chose mid-range, and it was the perfect balance of comfort and authenticity.
What stood out most to me was choosing a truly local company. It gave me peace of mind knowing my money was supporting local businesses, and although I was hesitant about international transfers at first, Arcadia Safaris proved to be completely trustworthy and excellent value for money.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family, I have no doubt you’ll receive the same outstanding hospitality and professionalism. This trip exceeded every expectation, and I can’t recommend Arcadia Safaris highly enough.

Well planned-great experience - perfect choice and match
The perfect match for our 15 days in Uganda, focused on birds and wildlife.Well organized, great accommodations, the nicest team to spend time with. All well planned, safe and backed up. Even with a lot of moving around and various local tours and treks,everything was perfectly executed. Great destinations and wildlife experiences.

Tijani was so friendly, cheerful and helpful.
We had such a comfy trip from Jburg to Hazyview. My concern was the duration of the commuting that is a bit long. But the van was comfortable and it was not an issue at all.

Incredible and amazing.
Benson was the best guide anyone could hope for. He found every animal and where they hide and hang out. Much more than the big five. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Benson and super eagles for the trip of a lifetime.

Everything was easy and simple to us and worth for the money.
We booked our safari tour via Serengeti Smile, because we get from there the best customer service before safari.
We decided to go to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks. Tour itself was amazing. We get to see so many animals in many different kind of places. The operator made bookings to lodges of our behalf, so we had only to get in car and enjoy.
At the Safari, our guide Champion, was also the best. He knew right where to go and spot the animals. He also told us not only about the animals, but also the culture in Tanzania. It was really interesting to hear about those things.
It was worth for the money. I recommend Serengeti Smile.

Unforgettable experience
Travelling with Serengeti Smile was easy and simple. We were on our honeymoon, and this was totally unique experience for us as we hoped it would be. Everything went well, and we had the best time in safari. Our guide Mr. Champion was focusing on the things we wanted to see, he really was the best! We got to see all of the big five, and the most unforgettable moment was to see big lion family with cubs playing with eachothers. We went to Taranquire, Ngorongorong crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks. Our accommodations were excellent and no mosquitoes or flies were bothering our sleep.
Warmly recommend!
