Friendly and experienced driver and safari guide mr. Hassan, we had a very pleasant 5-day trip!
5/5

Communication about our wishes for this 5 day safari trip to Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous was very good and we got quick responses via e-mail and whatsapp - thank you, mr Jacob!

We both eat vegan food and that is no problem at all, meals are delicious and our accomodations perfect. Jacob and Hassan (our driver and safari guide) are very helpful to help planning our trip.

Hassan, thank you for your pleasant company, we highly appreciate it!
This trip exceeded our expectations and we’ll never forget the beauty of Tanzania.

Professional guide and wonderful experience
5/5

Communication was fast and easy. I had exact information and very good service.

We visited Selou game reserve and Mikumi national park. They were very different from each other: in Mikumi there was savanna and in Selou it was more forest and brushwood. Our guide called was Hassan and he was polite, nice and knew a lot about animals and nature and what is the most important: he respected animals and the beautiful nature around us.

I recommend Smile with us tours!

Great experience with the Professionals !
5/5

We had 3day/2nights (with one full day game) safari at Selous with "Smile with us tours in Africa". The journey has fulfilled all our expectations. Despite the fact that January is not the best period for safari we were lucky with the weather and have managed to see huge number of the animals.

The key to success of our safari was Hassan, our guide and driver: real professional and very nice man. Hassan explained us how to act, what to do/not to do when animals come close to you. His percistence in tracking the Lion was something. If somebody told me before safari that you can approach to the Lion less than for 2 meters, I would say it's not possible...but it is!

Thank you, Hassan! I hope to see you again sometime..

5/5

Jacob was the man behind the operation, he was very helpful in answering my questions and helped me plan the trip and SAVE money. Yes! He helped me SAVE money on lodging by offering the Taji Rest House, which is a great lodge in the middle of the Serengeti (5 stars to the staff that work there, as well). The prices were great, better than other companies.

Freddy was the man behind the wheel. He did a great job. He has eyes like binoculars... most of the time, he saw the animals before we did. He had extensive knowledge of all of the animals, as well as the area, itself. He answered all of my questions and did his best to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible... which we did. I'm very happy.

The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater are amazing. I highly recommend going to both places for your safari, and I highly recommend booking your trip with SmileWithUsTours. Also, one more thing I forgot to add: Freddy recommended that I double-check my flight, because he said Precision Air cancels flights a lot... and he was right. Thanks to him, I was able to find out that my flight was delayed and I was able to stay at the safari longer. Thanks again, guys!

The most helpful team and the greatest experience
5/5

This was our first Safari tour and we did not know what to expect.

It all started with the most helpful Jacob, who helped us organise the tour, listened to all the special requests and adjusted the tour when our flight home was changed.

We then got to meet our guide, Fredy, who was the best guide we could wish for. We went on exciting and informative game drives, and in the evening, we had a lot of fun over dinner learning Swahili and talking about our lives.

Overall, this has been one of the greatest travel experiences we have ever had.

We highly recommend booking the trip with Jacob, and make sure to ask for Fredy and then you will definitely have an amazing time!

Amazing safari experience with the most caring guide Msese
5/5

Everything what we wanted to experience was perfectly organised since the pick up to the drop off at the hotel reception in DAR! We spent a really amazing time with the most caring and very kind guide Msese who is strongly knowledgeble of all the animals, and nature. We liked all the walks and interaction with the locals in the villages, the walking safari with the bushman. The safari itself was something special to us, just to sit and watch the raw narute was really cool! Thank you Jacob for all the organisation, you surprised us with time accuracy! wow! and huge thanks to Msese who made all the trip unforgeteble! We will strongly recommend your services!

Unforgettable life-time experience!
5/5

We booked 5 days’ safari Mikumi, Udzungwa and Selous/Nyerere np.
It was the best experience we had in our life! Our guide, Said was really awesome! Many thanks to him for this wonderful experience.
He always tried to see as much as possible. He is really a professional and a person in the right place! We learned a lot of interesting information not only about animals, he was always willing to answer our sometimes stupid questions. He always informed us and planned for the next day and also offered alternatives.
Seeing animals from such close proximity is a unique experience. Lion was less than 2 meters from us! We were fascinated and enchanted by so many things! For example, a picnic in the park overlooking the reservoir, where the animals went to drink, a walking safari with a bushman and lot of others.
The accommodation was always very beautiful and clean, we especially remember the truly magical accommodation in Selous! The food and service was excellent, sometimes quite large portions for us. :)
It was our honeymoon and we even had a room with decorations ready. What a lovely suprise!
It can be seen that everything is done with the heart and with love!
We also thank you Jacob for organizing this tour.

We highly recommend booking the trip with Smile With Us Tours, if you do it then you will definitely have an amazing time!

Just great organisation, everything took into account!
5/5

Thank you so much for this tour and especially for our guide Allen!
The route was interesting and Allen pointed us all the important movements. He was riding to all the places the animals could be and we’ve seen a lot - and all the animals in their nature environment were just adorable. Thank you for all these impressions!
Also he is a good storyteller and can tell you all interesting things about African nature.
Many thanks Allen for that!

Accommodation for both nights was really good too, especially for the last night. Only great impression from this tour, highly recommended!
