Serengeti Smile is awesome! John is awesome!!!
I recently had the pleasure of booking a safari trip with Serengeti Smile and I highly recommend them. From start to finish, everything was handled seamlessly. They responded to my emails in a timely manner and accurately booked my hotel rooms and safaris.
But what really made the trip was our driver and tour guide, John. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local plants, animals, and birds, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. He even taught us some local songs! Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to witness some amazing wildlife sightings, including wildebeests crossing mara river, lion hunting, and crocodile hunting. We were even at the best spot for lion hunting, the nearest among a dozen of cars, and were the first to find three male lions sleeping.
Overall, I had an incredible experience with Serengeti Smile and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to book a safari trip in Tanzania. Thanks again to John and the team for making this trip so memorable.

It was personal and well organized
We had 3 day tours (Shimba Hills, Mombasa, Wasini Island), everything was well organized and on time. In Monbasa there was also a tour guide for Fort Jesus and the old town and told us a lot about the history.

Professional, Meticulous and Friendly
We had an amazing experience with Serengeti Green Tanzania. From dealing with Mr. Davies in the office and Mr. Look Luck our guide on the safari, the service was brilliant.
All communication before and during the tour was excellent, very clear and helpful in planning our trip. The tour itself was an wonderful experience, amazing guide and accommodations. We always felt safe and the guide made sure we have a good time and was very knowledgeable about the country, parks and wildlife.
We recommended our family and friends if the consider to do a safari to make sure to book it with Serengeti Green Tanzania.
Thanks for an amazing experience.

Great Safari with Leisure Escapes: A Journey of Wildlife, Warmth, and Eye-Opening Moments in Kenya
We had an amazing 7-day safari in Kenya with Leisure Escapes. The service provided by the company, especially Esther, was exceptional. She answered all our pre-trip questions promptly and kindly. Our guide, Jeff, made us feel safe throughout the trip, and he and Esther even joined us at the farewell dinner, going above and beyond her working hours.
The highlights of the trip included the stunning Amboseli sunset game drive surrounded by hundreds of animals, close encounters with giraffes and zebras near Lake Naivasha, and witnessing lions in the Masai Mara. The special tent accommodation in Masai Mara added to the unique experience, and many more!
For future travelers considering this tour, I have a few suggestions:
1.Consider removing Lake Nakuru from the itinerary as it feels similar to Lake Naivasha (or the opposite). Replace it with a night of cultural or city experience to enhance the tour’s cultural aspect.
2.Visit the village near Amboseli to witness the local poverty firsthand, as it’s an eye-opening experience.
3.Request more a la carte local meals from Esther whenever possible, as the majority of meals are international buffets. It’s rarely possible though as there aren’t many options in national parks. While the food was good in hotels, experiencing more local cuisine would be appreciated.
4.Don’t hesitate to ask your guide and hotel staff questions to learn more about the culture, as the safari focuses on animals by its nature.
Overall, it was an incredible tour, and I highly recommend Leisure Escapes for your safari adventure.

Nice excursions in Zanzibar for a decent price
We had lots of communication with Erick / FIF Tours prior the to trip. They requested a deposit via bank transfer but our bank was causing issues, so we agreed on on a cash deposit upon arrival in Tanzania.
The guide in Zanzibar was very knowledgeable and friendly. He also cared very well for our dietary need (our previous guide failed on this).
Overall a very good experience, would definitely recommend.

Very accommodating and professional service
We did the southern circuit of Tanzania. From the very beginning Smile with Us were quick to respond to our queries, and were very accommodating when it came to tailoring our itinerary.
We had a fantastic journey around 4 national parks with a private guide/ driver Khalifa. We saw everything we hoped to see and lots more. Our guide went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We would highly recommend.

Beacon safaris is now become my all time favourite
Actually during year 2019 i want to come kenya with them, however because of some personal case i haven't make it happen
At this year of 2023, i finally made my trip
to kenya with beacon safaris and they not disappointed us! What a wonderful service they have done!
At first, Robert give us many suggestions based on my need, he have done his job in a really professional manner. After his professional and nice advise we have customized our 8days 7nights trip with almost all included in amboseli, naivasha, nakuru and masai mara
During the first day of trip, my wife and i decide to have a break in nairobi after a long flight.
Robert and Victor has made us a airport
transfer, also they have spent their time to let us buy safaricom sim card in the city in order to avoid long queue in airport. It is a really nice and easy way to get sim card in the city.
After one night stay in nairobi our 8days trip start with Peter and his van.
Peter is really a professional and a super nice man, always with smile on his face. driving safely and super on time during our whole trip.
We always have a good communication! And the safari itself become my splendid memory at all time. Peter always keep his mind on the radio to hear where the interesting animal is, and he is also good at to find animals by himself.
We have easily found all big five many times.
Overall it is really a super nice trip with beacon safaris and i will definitely choose them again in kenya!
Wish you the best
