Great Service + Knowledgeable Guide = Amazing Experience
5/5

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, we were impressed. Our driver Nordin was absolutely incredible. He was prompt and patient. He escorted us to the airport where we boarded our flight to Selous. Once we arrived Erik was there to pick us up and our 2 day 1 night adventure began. The breakfast and lunch were amazing and both our walking tour and boat tour were educational. We then went out for a late day drive which turned out to be incredible. On day 1 we had already seen 2 of the big 5. (not to mention all the giraffes, zebras, impalas, wild dogs, baboons and pumbas. Our driver was an experienced pro behind the wheel. His maneuvering skills were very impressive. The next day was also incredible. From the packed breakfast on the reserve to our AMAZING lunch at Impala Selous, we were pampered at every turn. This was truly a 5 star experience and we will tell all of our friends about our experience! Don't hesitate to book with this organization.

5/5

We had such an amazing time on our safari! We were able to see almost all the animals, many of them were very close to us. Our tour guide was great and really did everything he could to help us see as much as possible. Definitely recommend!

Reliable operator with amazing guide
5/5

I can highly recommend Smile with us Tours. I went on a 3-day safari in Neyere national park with a friend of mine and truly enjoyed the experience, mainly thanks to our guide Eric. Eric is incredible knowledgeable, very friendly and amazing in spotting the animals. We stayed in Neyere tented camp, which is a 15min drive from the gate of the reserve. Due to the large amounts of rain the past period the park was beautiful green, but it made spotting the animals a bit more difficult, luckily for us Eric knew exactly where to go. Can also highly recommend the Boat safari and Bush walk. Smile with us Tours is easy to communicate with and fastly answered all our questions prior to the safari.

Outstanding tour operator offering the opportunity to get a once in a lifetime experience!
5/5

Outstanding experience!

I went on a solo safari trip with Smile With Us Tours in January 2023. The experience was super from the beginning to the end. Everything was very well organized to meet my wishes, and I felt so taken care of from the moment I was picked up from my hotel in Zanzibar. At arrival in Nyerere National Park (the plane landed while giraffes and other exotic animals were walking by the runway!), I was met by the most welcoming and genuine guide, Eric. He made sure I had many moments I will remember for life during my two days game drive with him. He put in all his effort to find the animals, we got up really close with them, and he was full of knowledge. I saw hippos, lions, zebras, elephants, African wild dogs, hyena, buffalos, crocodiles, giraffes, warthogs, baboons, black face monkey, impalas, waterbuck, wildebeest and more. I am so thankful for everything he did for me to give me the best experience possible. I also did a safari walk and a river safari where I got to see even more animals, birds and learned about animal tracks, herbs, plants and trees, and about surviving in the wilderness. My accommodation during my stay was at Selous Jimbiza Camp. Here I was met by a very welcoming staff. I was treated as a queen, the food was great, the crocodile and elephant bread the chef made were impressive, and I felt safe both day and night.

I totally recommend Smile With Us Tours, and would love to go on a tour with them again!

Great communication making the trip easy and wonderful!!
5/5

I couldn’t have been happier with Smile with us Tours. From getting a quote to invoicing, etc., they were always very quick and professional to respond and answer any questions I had along the way. They also were less expensive than any other safari I got quoted and the experience was top notch! I didn’t have to stress or worry - they took care of everything and my family had a wonderful time, especially with their knowledgeable guide who went out of his way to see ALL the animals. :) 100% recommend their company.

Unforgettable trip with amazing tour guide
5/5

We flew in from Zanzibar and did a 2 day safari in Nyerere, and everything was very well organised. We can't say enough good things about our guide Eric, who does his job with a lot of passion. He is very knowledgeable, and never got tired from our many questions. Our kids (15-22 y/o) enjoyed every minute of the trip, from the moment we arrived. Seeing a giraffe even before touching down sure helped to get them enthusiastic, but honestly, the breakfast location, the people, the safari, the lodge, everything was just super special. Our kids ate termites during the bush walk, were fascinated by the many different and special birds we saw during the boat trip, and couldn't get enough of the truck ride. It was december so we didn't get to see zebras or buffalos (at least not living ones) but we saw all the other animals. Elephants wading through the water with little babies, tens of crocodiles resting after feasting on a buffalo, hippos from far and very nearby, giraffes with their babies, a pregnant lioness, baboons, turtles, impalas, warthogs, bush babies, waterbucks, it was just amazing. Thank you Eric, for giving us this unforgettable experience.

Would go again - highly recommended
5/5

Great trip with Smile with Us Tours - went to Selous and Mikumi national parks and hiked to the Sanje waterfall. Great guides, accommodations and activities - would do it all gain. The office is good to communicate with - no issues. When we met before we started it looked like the air-conditioning of the vehicle was broken but it was resolved with a different vehicle the next morning.
