We saw all the animals we wanted to see! Great safari tour!
My husband and I enjoyed our 5 days safari tour. The destinations were Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu and Lake Manyara National Park.
Serengeti National Park was not included.
Our wonderful guide, Pius, found all the BIG 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant).
Thanks Pius for a safe and exciting trip.
The best operator there is!
The overall experience was everything we hoped for and so much more. It was very well organised and an experience we will cherish for a long time!
Booking process & communications:
Throughout the entire process, the response rate was very fast. Furthermore, all requests for individual adjustments were picked up immediately.
Also, the pick up at JRO airport went seamless, despite arriving at 2.30am on January 1st. Moreover, all accommodations were booked in advance and everyone was prepared for our stay. Overall, the organization of the trip was extremely well done.
Tour & guide:
Starting our tour at the Mataruni waterfalls including roasting our own coffee and enjoying delicious local food was a wonderful experience with two highly professional guides.
The Safari in the Tarangire NP, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Lake Manyara were truly incredible. Our highly skilled guide located all the animals (lions, elephants, cheetahs, rhinos and many more) and made sure we got the best view all the time. Thank you very much Libe!
Another highlight was the hot air balloon ride, watching the Serengeti from the sky during sunrise. A truly amazing experience. Despite being operated by a third party provider, the organization by Serengeti Smile was seamless.
Overall, we really enjoyed our Safari with Serengeti Smile. Assante San for the incredible trip! We would definitely book again.

Champion was really polite and know everything about the animals.
When we arrived our tourguide (Champion) waited for us. We give every day fresh water and cola in the clean car. The 3 days programm was incredible interesting and exhausted as well, we saw a lot and we have luck with Champion!
He told lot of interesting thing from the animals. So we highly recommended him. My 10 years old son was with us and he paid attention for him although. He gave telescope as well. It was a big help.

polite, quick, smart, kind, sharp-sighted, precise, attentive
Everything was fine. We were on a 3-day safari. The sequence of programs was good, the accommodation was great and our guide was great (detailed above) (his name is Champion). We made the reservation with them via email and whatsapp. Real good value for money!

Perfect Safari with good Hotels and a great Guide
We booked a 6 day safari with Serengeti Smiles and it was absolutely stunning. We saw the Big5 and many other animals of Serengeti’s Wildlife. The nature is absolutely beautiful and the people in Tansania are very friendly.
Our driver Justine has an excellent general education and knows a lot about his home country, nature and animals. He was able to answer every of our questions.
We would strongly recommend Serengeti Smiles and especially our Guide Justine. We had a great time!

An experienced man with endless knowledge
We had the most amazing time away, we spent 4 days on safari and saw all of the big 5 and more. What made the experience even better was our tour guide and driver Champion, his knowledge of the parks and animals was second to none and was also an incredible driver, the routes through the park are not easy to navigate I can assure you. My wife and I had a great time with him and I hope for future customers of this company are lucky enough to have him.

Fantastic
Our safari was a 3 night, 4 day safari in Serengeti. We booked through Baraka who was very informative from the start and the booking process was very easy. Booking safaris can be complex and Serengeti Smile made the process very easy.
The safari itself was absolutely fantastic and that is down to our guide Champion, who made us feel welcome, safe and made our safari a once in a life time experience. We saw all of the Big Five as well as tons of other wildlife. He knew where to go, what angles so we had full view and was extremely knowledgable (we asked 1000’s of questions!). I am a nervous passenger but did not feel so with Champion - he is an excellent driver.
We couldn’t recommend Serengeti Smile (and specifically Champion!) highly enough. I contacted 4 other companies who were well above the price we paid with SS but this did not comprise the quality of our safari - very good value for money. If you are looking to do a safari in Tanzania/Serengeti, then this is the company to use!

professional and reliable
Serengeti smile is professional—Jeremiah gave us excellent planning advice and booked the hotel we wanted, making the trip perfect. Dedicated drivers Ima and Domy guided us to find all the animals we hoped to see with their sharp eyesight, even introducing them through books. We witnessed a thrilling hunt, which was unforgettable! Despite the tiring safari, I felt completely satisfied.
