Everything promised and more!
Safari can be expensive, but Smile with Us definitively delivered everything promised and more. The communication via WhatsApp is quick and easy; Jacob really comes through. The cooking was good and guide was really attentive. We toured Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro privately for 4 days and saw the big 5, cheeta’s and many more animals up close. Camping was well arranged but in a tent expect to sleep accordingly with other people on the grounds around you. Even the airport transfers were really pleasant and well taken care of. Thank you guys!

Trused and organised company, great safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area
I can fully recommend the Smile with us tours in Africa as a safari organizer. We went for private and budget accommodation option 4 days and 3 nights trip in January 2020 to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro area.
We book the drip 2 months in advance. The communication with Jacob was excellent before, during and after our trip. We paid a deposit before the trip through pesapal and the rest in USD in Arusha. Try to get the most recent USD notes as 2006 & 2003 dated ones are rarely accepted. The company picked up from Arusha airport and helped with doing some shopping before safari. At the end of the safari, they provided transport to Kilimanjaro Airport. All that has been agreed before trip. From the beginning to the end everything was well organised and in line with all agreements. The driver and guide Mr Amani is every experienced and tired the best to show us all kind of animals. A chef surprised us with his excellent cooking skills. The car had a foldable roof what is a key during safaris. Camping sides were as expected, all with showers and toilets. The tent was spacious. We managed to see the big 5 but please remember this is not a zoo. It is more about the luck. Summarizing we are impressed of level of organisation and quality of services we received from Smile with us tours in Africa. Please feel free to contact me in case of any questions.

Excellent Tour with a lot of animals, good operator and guide
We took a 5-Day Safari to Selous and Mikumi park. It was a long car ride to get from dar es salam to selous, selous to Mikumi and back to dar es salam but totally worth it. During the ride you see all lot of small villages and see how the people live there. They always friendly and waving when we passed by.
The to parks where also very good. Not much other Safari cars so we could enjoy the silence of the nature and the animals. We saw a lot of animals (lions, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, hippos...) up close just a few meters ahead of us.
The driver Hassan did a great job to show us all the animals and was a safe driver during the 7-9 hours ride between the hotels and parks.

Awesome tour, awesome people to enjoy Tanzania
We absolutely loved our safari to Selous. The experience was relaxing and so enjoyable - all details were taken care of and we were able to sit back and relax. Our ride in the morning of the first day arrived on time and was quite pleasant to chat with. Our guide for the safari, Hassan, was fantastic. Hassan made sure that everything, to the best of his ability, went smoothly: from driving through the most seemingly untraversable roads to to securing the best spot to observe elephants crossing the road in front of you to helping you buy and ferry tickets for your next steps after the safari. Hassan's passion for the animals real showed and he was eager to share his knowledge with you. I would highly recommend this company to couples or families safari.

Fantastic 3 day Safari to Selous!
We had a great 3 day Safari including pickup from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and drop off at the Ferry to Zanzibar. The trip was well organised and the diversity in wild life seen during the boat, jeep and walking safari was stunning. Hassan was a superb driver and guide who made every effort to make our trip enjoyable. He even went out of his way to arrange ferry tickets for us so we wouldn’t miss the boat. I highly recommend this safari.

Amazing tour of amazing Tanzania!
We had a group of five people taken on an amazing tour of the southern part of Tanzania. We were able to witness countless animals of all different types with the expertise of Muddy as our guide. We felt very safe on the tour with him. We also had amazing meals at the lodges selected for us with the tour. I will never forget this amazing moment in my life. Thank you to Jacob, Muddy, and the rest of the tour company!

Amazing Selous park!
We took a two-day tour to the Park Village (not far from Dar-es-Salaam). It was a delightful journey!
Now in order. The tour we booked on WhatsApp. Manager Jacob answered all questions, advised how best to conduct the tour. You can write to him all your wishes and be sure that you will choose the right price and duration of the tour. After booking the tour, we agreed to meet with the guide before the Safari. Our guide Matata came to us. Very charming and sociable person. With him we discussed once again the route, asked our questions and got answers to everything. You can pay him immediately or agree to pay directly on the Safari, if you are afraid that you will be deceived. The next day we were provided with a large land rover. There were four of us, and each had a seat by the window. There were no problems with viewing the Safari. The price of the Safari includes everything. Food, water, accommodation for the duration of the trip. Nothing to worry about. on arrival to the Park we were settled in simple houses, without frills. There was hot water, Wi-Fi, a big bed. The food was delicious and plenty. All the staff in the camp are friendly.
Now about the Safari itself. Spent 1,200 dollars on 4ykh and nor breath not regret! This is what you need to visit Africa for. Matata drove us all 2 days from morning to evening. We looked at almost all animals (lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos). The mass of impressions. The guide will tell you absolutely about any animal here. He knows the parks, he knows where to find the animals, how to behave towards them. With this guide we felt completely safe. Many thanks to him!
Be ready to drive around the Savannah all day. Physically, it's not easy.

Having a great time in Tanzania thanks to Smile with Us.
In the beginning, I had a few questions about our safari. I was very pleased with quick and fulfilling answers from Jacob.
We were picked at the airport and start the route to Mikumi. We spent a half-day in the park and saw many animals. next day on the long way to Selous, we could observe the real life of Tanzanian people and we found very interesting. The third day we spent looking for more animals in the Selous game reserve and we were quite successful. Our driver Hassan was very friendly and knew these parks very well. Thanks to him was our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, we cancelled the boat safari and bushwalk because of the heavy rain, but anyway we had a great time during this little adventure. Both camps provided us with nice accommodation and surprised me with their pleasing approach to accommodate my (vegan) diet needs (thanks to Jacob´s involvement).
Thanks to Smile with Us my safari dream came true and we would definitely book a safari with them again and recommend them to our friends and family.
