Incredible service!
Incredible door to door service. Johnson and his team are very professional and the very best people to help you explore the region. He's very down to earth and extremely helpful and always ready to cater to any request you through at him. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Best experience in Kenya ☀️
This trip was amazing, we saw a lot of animals very closely, including the Big 5. Our driver Evans always did his best to find good spots and give us information. Evening and meal organisation was also well manages, closed water bottle are always available in the car. Despite we did our safari during low season the weather was perfect. Jocky tour is a very good choice for quality and budget safari.

Unforgettable
We had an unforgettable experience with Suricata Safaris, camping amongst lions, elephants and buffalo. Our guide Mandela was experienced, relaxed, a safe driver and reliable, expressing his passion and expertise for animals throughout the safari. Mandela was sure to persist in finding animals, especially Cheetahs who had just finished a hunt. Tito our chef made incredible food and plenty of it! He was very kind and helpful and every meal was delicious and filling. The trip was well organised and we saw so many incredible animals despite it being low season! Thank you for having us! 🦒🐘🦛🦁

A fantastic honeymoon Safari
Highly recommend Serengeti Smile, they have been extremely adaptable to our requested wants for this holiday. The safari in Tanzania has been out of this world, and would recommend going just before the high season. Our safari Guide and vehicle were fantastic, and feel incredibly lucky to have seen more wildlife than imaginable.

Honeymoon: Easy organisation, good flexibility of itinerary/budget, excellent safari.
6 nights/7 days safari: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater.
Overall a fantastic safari. May was a good time of year: the rains had just finished, the hotels were quiet and there were fewer vehicles in the parks/around animals than during peak season.
Albert at Serengeti Smile was very happy to cater for our fussy requests, chopping and changing plans, hotels and flights to suit our exact wishes for our honeymoon.
We had a great guide, Zach, who was friendly, knowledgeable and a good man. We enjoyed learning about the animals and parks, but also the Tanzanian people and Kiswahili language, from him. He was a very good driver and keen to show us the best that Tanzanian Safari had to offer - we saw all of the big five, easily, thanks to him.
We changed the lodges to suit our budget. Marera Valley Lodge (3* - Tarangire/Lake Manyara) was good, with friendly staff, an intimate atmosphere and a good pool. Meliá Hotel (5* - Serengeti) was superb - the staff were fantastic and the food was delicious. But, the location would have been better suited for other times of year during the migration: ask your operators when is best. Serena Hotel (4* - Ngorongoro) was quite tired and the front of house staff were less friendly. The staff in the bars/restaurants were brilliant, though, with good evening activities - Masai music and acrobatics.
We explored a lot of Tanzania in a short period of time and it seemed to be a beautiful country with friendly people and a lot to offer. It was less touristy than Kenya, but the safari was just as good. I would recommend it highly as an East African experience and Serengeti Smile seemed a good company to use.

Safari in rain season
We did a safari in rain season (mid of april). We decided to do the tour really in a short term. But the company worked really fast and everything what we liked to do was possible. With our guide Patrick we had a perfect guy! He was a really kindly person, perfect in animial and bird knowing and a top driver. And he has to be a good driver in that extremly road conditions. We felt always save with him! Thanks for this unforgettable Safari to the team and especially thanks for Patrick! Best guide we ever had.

Authentic
Absolutely incredible experience with Alytexx safaris on our safari in kenya. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly arranged. The booking process was smooth and the staff was incredibly helpful in answering our questions. The safari drive itself was beyond everything we could have imagined. One unforgettable moment was watching a pride of lions lazing in the golden afternoon sun. The vehicles we used was comfortable and well maintained. If your looking for a top-notch safari company in kenya, look no further cause Alytexx safaris is there for you. We highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking an unforgettable adventure.

TERRIBLE TOUR
I would first like to say that this was the worst tour company I could have ever taken. The tour guide Audence picked me up and off the bat had an attitude. He didn’t introduce himself, or seem
Enthusiastic at all, as I expect a tour guide to be. The tour
Company
Lies on the itinerary, I was supposed to do a few things that I didn’t get to do on the first day because Audence who was the tour guide thought that it wouldn’t work for him. In turn I didn’t get to do one activity towards the end, and other activities felt rushed because they weren’t done on the first day. I mentioned this issue to Elvis, who is the owner of the
Company but nothing seemed to have changed for the rest of the trip. The tour guide was not informative on any
Of the important sites we visited. He didn’t provide any information, only just pointed out the “names” of them. As we went to these historic sites, I had to google most information.
In addition to this, the company and the owner failed to mention that none of the accommodations provided had air conditioning or a fan. I mentioned this to Elvis and he acted as if he didn’t know, but when I asked the hotel they informed me that this has always been the case for that specific hotel. As we were driving throughout Uganda and Rwanda, I asked Audence many times about stopping to get something to eat, but we drove non stop from place to place.
This tour was a dreadful experience. Having to deal with a guide who had an attitude, and is uninformative shouldn’t be a guide at all. The company lies and should not even be taking any customers.
From the lies, to the unprofessionalism this was by far one of my worst experiences traveling 7 countries in Africa. Uganda and Rwanda are both beautiful countries, but I urge you to choose another tour operator with more reviews than this company has.
