Amazing Safari and Excellent Service
Our safari experience was amazing from start to finish. Of course the animals are great, but the service is what set it apart. We had some pretty unlucky travel getting to Africa. We had 19 hours of flight delays...and when we finally made it...our bags did not. The team helped to adjust our safari to work with our new arrival time and made many calls to the airlines to help arrange our bags making out to the park and into our rooms. Jacob and our guide Muddy were such a help making our stressful travel better and making the safari enjoyable.
Once we got going, the safari was awesome. Our guide Muddy had great knowledge of the park and knew good spots to go see many animals. He was also very knowledgable on all the animals we saw and taught us many interesting facts that I never knew. We got to see all the normal animals and got to see very cool lion experiences every day. Got to see so many cool things throughout the trip.
Aside from the game drives, we also got to see some cool cultural things. Visiting the Masai camp was very interesting and we also enjoyed the bush walking tour. Got to learn about local people and how they have survived and thrived here for many years. Muddy was also very accommodating while we drove around. Some of my friends saw baskets on the side of the road they were interested in and he helped to get them. Muddy also helped go to the airport and work out some refunds for us for all our troubles and also helped get us onto the ferry to Zanzibar at the end of our trip. We really enjoyed every part of the trip. Would definately recommend friends to Smile with Us if they are coming to Africa. Great value, great service and amazing sites. Thanks for the great safari!

Amazing 5D/4N safari in 4 national parks: we saw ALL ANIMALS we wanted to!
Great safari with great guide! Fredy shown us looooooots of animals - lions, cheetahs, leopard, flamingos, zebras, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and many more. Accommodation and food were excellent as well. Fredy knows everything: about animals, national parks and their history, and also he his English is perfect. But the most valuable thing was his amazing eyesight! Fredy sees animals even when they hide in the grass, even if they far away from us! He can predict their behaviour. That's why we have seen everything we wanted to. So I absolutely recommend this company and this guide. Thank you for unforgettable and safe trip!
Hasan and Jacob were amazing operators. Very knowledgeable and helpful. We Recommend them!
The whole trip was really amazing. Hasan knew exactly where to go, all the different spots and routes to find us the best animals and get the pictures and videos for a unforgettable trip. I was able to plan a surprise engagement with Hasan and Jacob, and everything went perfectly.

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.

Great experience
We did a 4 day safari in mikumi nationalpark and selous game reserve. Everything was perfectly organized and on time. Our driver Henry was awesome, he knew a lot of things and was very kind. We would definitely recommend the safari to everybody.

Fantastic safari experience
All the trip was really well organized by SMILE WITH US , starting from the pick up to the drop off. Jacob was always punctual to reply our questions. The Africa safari camp is beautiful and relaxing. It is just outside the park and you are surrounded by the nature protected every time by Masai.
In boat safari, guided by Singha (Masai guide) we saw many hippo, crocodiles, monkeys and birds.
The safari was incredible Mr Hassan was a perfect guide, helpful and gentle. He found a lot of animals for us, and he explained their behavior and features. Selous park is a paradise.
If we want to find a small flaw, we personally didn't like so much the bush walking because 1hour in our opinion is too short to appreciate it..
Very Thanks to SMILE WITH US

very interesting new experience!
Safari and game drives was very new adventure for us!
Jacob the organizer put all our needs and wishes in to a same package. Arrival and departure hotel, tented camp accommodation, transportations and safari game drives. Thanks for that! Everything went just how discussed and communication before and during the trip was fast. Tented camp was great, with those silly staff people and our driver Isack many thanks for him for teaching us a lot about animals and their life but also telling about local people life, culture and history. Isack was just right guide for us, although he learned Finnish very slowly :) Arrival and departure hotels was B&B so they were what they were.
One star we have to take away, the reason really is the cost. Safari is quite expensive. And we never really got a clear idea of what the sum consists of. Afterwards, I wondered if I had paid too much, too little or just right. Well, usually you can't make new adventures without money.
