Super recommended!
We organised a family trip to Namibia with children, too. Thanks to Hanneke in the organisational phase, we could adapt the itinerary to our needs as much as possible. Always ready to satisfy our requests and timely in answering our questions. Maximum availability and efficiency. It offered us excellent facilities. A very capable and Italian-speaking guide (a rarity). He thought of everything, offering us support during the tour, too. Truly wonderful at every stage of the journey. We can't wait for her to plan another African experience...Botswana?! Super recommended!

Trip of a life time, thanks to Ayubu & Serengeti Smile!
We had the most amazing experience, all thanks to Serengeti Smile! The service from start to finish was 5 star. Albert from sales was so patient & answered all of our questions. We changed our dates & times so many times before deciding which trip to do & Albert was great - he wanted us to have the best trip! Once we arrived we didn’t have to think about anything but looking for the animals. Ayubu (best driver & guide ever!) came & picked us up from our hotel & was the most friendly guy you could have hoped for. We chose a 4 day / 3 night Safari & it was amazing. The accommodation, the car, the food - everything was exactly as we had hoped & more. We saw the big 5 by day 2!!! Ayubu was an expert in finding the animals & giving us so many facts - thank you!
Overall, I can’t recommend Serengeti Smile enough !!

Super punctual and responsible.
He explained the weekly itinerary but was flexible on the safari when it came to organising times or taking us to see particular animals. He tried to avoid crowds of cars, which is very much appreciated as it is more enjoyable when you don't see other cars. He was flexible to give us time to admire the animals as much as we wanted. He was always more than punctual, arriving early for pick-up and respectful and tolerant of my slowness in the mornings. In the end it felt like being in the family with him.

Perfect from start to finish
From the moment we emailed our interest to Vanessa to the moment we landed back home, our entire experience was wonderful! Vanessa was quick and so helpful in organising everything for us and answering any questions we had. Once we landed in Kenya, she had every transfer/collection, hotel, guide etc organised to perfection, we had no issues and could just relax our entire trip, knowing we were being taken care of.
The Safari was incredible, once in a life time views, our guide taught us so much and was friendly and helpful.
Everywhere we stayed, we were greeted warmly, the places were all comfortable and spotlessly clean, the food was incredible.
We loved Kenya and everyone we met along the way, 10/10 recommend to anyone considering it.

7-day private safari in the parks of the North and Zanzibar
In the first fortnight of this month of October, together with my family I went on a safari in the parks of northern Tanzania and a stay in Zanzibar. We visited the Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park and the Tarangire National Park.
The vehicle at our disposal was a very comfortable and sturdy seven-seat Toyota, equipped with every comfort and equipment (fridge, binoculars, pillows, drinks, snacks).
The safari was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, thanks also to our extraordinary guides Justin and Barack from Safari Avventura. Justin was impeccable in his organization and Barack was very skilled in driving the off-road vehicle in all terrains and in all conditions. Both were wonderful travel companions who guided and assisted us in exploring the parks and sightings of numerous animals, including the very rare Rhinoceros.
Barack took us to every point where there was an animal to observe, always very close: zebras, warthogs, buffaloes, antelopes, gazelles, impalas, hippos, flamingos, vultures, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards and lots of lions. The observations of the lions, both in Ngorongoro and in the Serengeti, were among the most exciting moments. In strategic positions, reached thanks to Barack's skill, we were able to watch and photograph, through the sunroof, entire families of lions just a few meters away from them, but in absolute safety.
Justin, combining competence, availability, warmth and professionalism, made every moment of this experience a special moment for us. In perfect Italian, he clearly explained to us the habits of all the animals. He organized picnics in the parks with good and plentiful food and we will not forget his truly delicious coffee which we were able to taste at the end of each meal, even though we were in the middle of the African savannah.
All the facilities we stayed in were excellent. The Planet Lodge in Arusha is welcoming and restful. The Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge is exciting. The two nights in the heart of the Serengeti in Into The Wild Tented Camp were unforgettable. The Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge is very beautiful.
On the last day of the Safari, Justin and Barack made us live two other wonderful experiences in Arusha, such as a visit to a market and lunch in a typical restaurant.
We completed our wonderful trip to Zanzibar in the beautiful MyBlue Hotel, in the north-west part of the island not far from Nugnwi, where we worked off the pleasant fatigue of the safari.
Unfortunately, however, everything ended at the airport.
Thanks Justin! Thanks Barack! Thank you for being our travelling companions during the Safari, for having supported and anticipated our every need. We won't forget you.
Finally, a special thank you to Michela from Safari Avventura, who was always very kind and helpful both in organizing the trip and during the stay, when we contacted her for clarifications, and also after returning to Italy. Thanks to her competence and availability we were able to organize and create a beautiful, unforgettable trip.
