The most AMAZING trip of my life!!!
Our safari with Serengeti Smile was hands down one of the best experiences of our lives! From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. The whole trip was so well organized, from the amazing camp and hotels to the logistics of each day. It was all seamless, which let us fully enjoy every second of this adventure.
We saw so many animals, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, leopards, you name it, we saw it. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. But what made it even better was our guide, Champion. I don’t even know where to start with him. He’s beyond knowledgeable, super friendly, and absolutely hilarious. Champion made every moment fun, exciting, and unforgettable. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were traveling with a friend.
If you’re thinking about going on a safari, stop thinking and just book with Serengeti Smile. And here’s the best tip I can give you: request CHAMPION as your guide. You will NOT regret it, he’s the absolute best and will make your trip unforgettable!

The best safari!!
Serengeti smile provided us an awesome experience! Since the first moment we arrived to Tanzania, they provided us the best experience and vibes of all.
Champion is the absolute best guide you could ask for on a safari in Tanzania. From start to finish, he made the entire experience unforgettable. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and engaging storytelling made every moment magical. Whether it was finding elusive animals or sharing fascinating insights about the local ecosystem, he went above and beyond. This was not just a safari, it was the adventure of a lifetime, thanks to him. Five stars don’t do justice to the experience he provided. Highly, highly recommend!

"It was a great experience to see various animals
The booking process was smooth, and the response from the person in charge was quick, which was great. Also, Serengeti Smile provided great cars and guides, and their quote was the most affordable among those I received. And the guide made a great effort to help us take good photos and showed us the Big Five along with many other animals
However, there are some disappointing points.
First of all, the person from the office initially mentioned that a tip of 2 to 5 USD per person per day for the guide would be sufficient,
but the guide asked for a tip of 15 USD per person per day.
Secondly, they promised to provide binoculars, but none were available.
Additionally the guide seemed very tired from the long drive, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience together.
Lastly, they didn't inform me in advance that the flight time had changed on the last day even though they were able to contact me by whatsapp.
Aside from these few situations, it was an enjoyable trip. Serengeti Smile made their best effort to provide a great experience, but our trip ultimately depended on the individual guide.

Champion made the trip perfect
Champion is a wonderful guide--knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient. We couldn't ask for more. The trip was great. Everything was communicated well and we had flexibility to customize it to our needs. The package had a little bit of everything. We had a variety of national parks and saw so many animals. I never thought I'd see so many elephants in my life! I would recommend it to my friends.

Ultimate honeymoon was a dream come true
What an amazing trip with Serengeti Smile! From the jump, every aspect of our trip was catered to and it made this experience so special.
We arrived just after our wedding and excited to see what we could on safari. Champion was absolutely amazing, knowing so much about each animal and flora.
Despite it being the beginning of wet season, we had such luck seeing the Big Five plus hundreds of other species. My heart was bursting.
The accommodations were top-notch as well and the food at each place was great.
Champion always checked to make sure we were hydrated and okay from the long game drives each day.
This trip was completely worth every penny and I’m so excited to share these stories with friends back home.
Thank you, Serengeti Smile, for making our honeymoon truly spectacular.

Absolutely amazing!!
This intinery could not have been better planned out, and our guide could not have been more educational, kind and went out of his way to make sure we had the most amazing honeymoon. Shoutout Libes !(arsenals top fan).
He really is so clever, the way he finds the animals for you especially when he knows you want to see it desperately. He knows so much about them too!
All of our lodges were also amazing, can not thank everyone enough.
The itinerary captured Tanzania perfectly. The Serengeti especially was our favourite
Amazing Tour!
This tour was incredible and such a great value! They were super communicative beforehand and always quick to respond, and on the actual trip everything was so smooth. We loved Justin and everything we saw was gorgeous! Can’t recommend it more

Excellent and experienced driver with deep knowledge and appreciation for safari animals <3
Serengeti Smile met all of my expectations and beyond. The communication leading up to the trip was organized and clear. The service was top notch and I felt safe and secure the entire time. A life changing adventure and affordable as well. The tour was magical and a truly wild adventure. My group was able to see and identify 4 out of the big 5 as well as over 100 other animals. I had so much fun!

Justin was extremely accommodating, friendly, she's knowledgeable!
I am so glad we picked Serengeti Smile for our safari vacation! We stayed in four different lodges and all were very comfortable and accommodating. Our guide, Justin, indulged us every time we wanted to stop and look at the animals we encountered and helped us figure out what we were looking at. He also made sure we saw things we might've missed. Each day was truly incredible, but the highlight for me was our two night stay in the Serengeti. Both the lodge and the game drives were my favorites of the trip. I also should mention that every meal here in Tanzania has been delicious! I didn't know that to expect but the food here would have surpassed any expectations anyway.
