Magical experience - great guides, good service and so many animals
My partner and I embarked on our first Safari together. Our expectations were matched by Serengeti smile as a result of their welcoming, informative and chilled service.
They picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8am the first morning, we were greeted with cold bottles of water in the car which I'm sure you can imagine, in the hot weather was very needed! They continued to provide snacks like peanuts and other little bits throughout the day.
As we progressed to the different areas, they provided facts and information about the land, animals and tribes which was good as it adds that educational layer.
The tour guides always seemed like they had our best interest at heart, getting the good spots to see the animals and pointing out little things that we may have missed, for example a Dung beetle pushing a pile of poop with his little friend on it (you can imagine, this is fairly hard to spot in the Serengeti while driving)
I think the experience was good value for money (it was the most cost effective in comparison to the rest of the options), ways in which this trip could be improved is by providing better quality and more thoughtful packed lunch and upgrading the accommodation provided (the first accommodation was a tented camp, which was a great experience but not particularly luxury) however the 2nd lodge was lovely, it had better food options and better facilities. I think my partner and I largely share this opinion due to being foodies and having quite high expectations, so given that I would say the accommodation and food were sufficient but just not up to our standards. I also think that organising the permits well ahead of time would reduce any wait times and delays which in turn would improve the overall experience and make it more seamless.
Nonetheless, we had the most amazing experience - we saw all of the animals except for the Leopard, it was truly magical and we would 100% recommend this to anyone!

Outstanding tour with Serengeti smile
We had a lovely tour with Serengeti's smile. It was effortless to communicate with them, and they were flexible and very professional. We were so happy with our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and attentive. We saw so many animals, and it was terrific.
The reason for the four stars is because of the lunch boxes. The lunch boxes were terrible, and we were travelling with a child. On the last day, we even asked if the kid could get something else, but we didn’t get it.
I would recommend Serengeti Smile, but let them know about your food requirements.

Amazing guide in the parks
Our guide Champion Godwin is a very careful driver, knows everything about the animals, the parks, the Maasai village and went above and beyond for us to have an amazing experience in Serengeti.

Good, quick response
The response is in time, the service is good. But maybe some areas can be better, bc we want to see the flamingo and it’s not the right season but the company didn’t tell us.

Best tour company in Tanzania, [email protected]
I visited Tanzania for the first time and I was amazed by the professionalism Serengeti Smile team handled my safari. It was short and sweeet. I had the best experience thanks to them. I'll be sure to book my next safari with them!

Big Five
From the moment we contacted Serengeti Smile, we had so many questions, and they patiently answered each one. Even during our trip, we sought their advice on hotels and trustworthy websites, and they were incredibly helpful.
Our safari was truly an adventure-filled, unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide Justin and his assistant Ombeni. They made sure we spotted all the Big Five and spent quality time with our favorite animals. We took hundreds of photos, and they always positioned us for the best shots. I still can’t believe how close we were to the animals! Over our four days together, we were never bored and shared plenty of laughs.
I highly recommend requesting Justin as a guide. His experience and constant big smile made the trip even more enjoyable.
Thank you again for this amazing experience!
