Friendly Group and Incredible Wildlife
5/5

Joining this safari was the best decision of my Tanzania trip. I met travelers from different countries, and the guide quickly created a relaxed atmosphere where everyone felt included.

Tarangire was full of elephants, and I loved watching them move through the baobab trees while our guide explained their behavior. Lake Manyara added a completely different landscape with colorful birds and playful monkeys.

The Ngorongoro Crater looked like a natural paradise, and we saw lions, zebras, buffaloes, and many other animals within a short time. The camping arrangements were comfortable, the meals were tasty, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

I left with wonderful photos, new friends, and memories that still make me smile.

5/5

Communication with Serengeti Smile was one of the smoothest I ever dealt with on any vacation I’ve planned, always responding in a timely manner and answering all my questions. Our tour was worth every dollar if not more, they truly made this a once in a lifetime trip. My family felt safe and looked after the entire trip. Would recommend Serengeti Smiles to all my friends and family.

Helpful and communicative
5/5

The tour providers were very helpful in the lead up answering all questions via WhatsApp. They briefed us at our hotel and kept our big bags safe for us in Arusha for 2 days so we could travel light. The accomodation and food was great!

The safari they deliver is outstanding.
5/5

We have traveled over 1,500km in a Toyota Land Cruiser over the last ten days starting from the Kilimanjero International Airport near Arusha then on to Tarangire and Serengeti National Park and finally reaching the Mara River in northern Tanzania before visiting Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park on the return leg. This trip has been something I dreamed about after reading National Geographic magazine articles when I was a kid. It was an adventure that I can best describe as magical. There is something about the spirit of the people, the unbelievable beauty and contrast of the landscapes, the sounds of the animals at night from your tent, and the diversity of the wildlife that makes you feel truly alive. Our guide Libe Essau who works for Serengeti Smile is awesome. He is a fully bilingual tour guide professional with comprehensive experience who specializes in the Serengeti region and brings comfort and appropriate pacing to enjoy nature. His abilities to spot wildlife, provide information, keep us safe, know exactly where we are and where we are going, and drive a Toyota Land Cruiser are remarkable. Serengeti Smile has proven to us that they are among the best tour operators in Tanzania. Everthing they told us was factual and they absolutely delivered on all aspects of the safari. Plus they are a locally owned company based in Arusha. Both Libe and Serengeti Smile are highly recommended. We have traveled to many places including the Amazon, Galapagos, the Arctic, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mexico the name a few and this trip was one of the very best. There is no place quite like Tanzania!!!

Marvelous experience, thanks to Victor and Sammy
5/5

The journey is definitely out of expectation. I took my parents to the trip and chose the agency because Victor is one of the most patient, professional and responsive operator I have reached. I appointed some most popular hotels and knew it was hard to book, but Victor made it happen and almost all according to requirement details(although I wouldn't choose the one in Amboseli again as the view is mostly blocked). Our guide Sammy is a miracle, he is more than helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Not only managed to drive 4-8 hours per day, he knew all about the animals and the best place to find them(a little bit sad we didn't see wildebeest cross river, hopefully can see it the next time). Sammy is experienced and efficient, which makes the journey smooth and isolated from trivial things. I will definitely choose the agency again if it keeps this quality of service.

Unforgettable trip
5/5

We had an excellent African safari experience with Raymond as our driver and guide. He is very experienced, professional, and knowledgeable about all kinds of animals, including their behavior and habits. His arrangements were excellent, and he always went the extra mile to help us. He also knows exactly where to find wildlife, giving us many unforgettable encounters. Highly recommended!

Epic
5/5

Our safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures was an experience we will always remember. From the moment we started planning our trip, the team was helpful, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our journey special.

Everything was organized perfectly, and we were impressed by the professionalism of the entire team. Our guide made each day exciting and enjoyable, sharing interesting knowledge about the wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems we encountered along the way.

Tanzania exceeded our expectations, but what made the trip even better was having a company that truly cared about our experience. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, with incredible wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery around every corner.

We highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures to anyone dreaming of experiencing a Tanzanian safari. Their dedication, hospitality, and attention to detail made our trip truly unforgettable.
