Wonderful experience
It was an amazing experience. Was at Nairobi National Park on 8th/04/2024 and the experience is still memorable. The animals i saw were the real ones.... not the ones i see in pictures, movies and diagrams. am yet to meet someone who has ever touched the neck of a giraffe, let alone its thigh.... This thing is really loooooooong. best experience was our great driver. patient, accurate and punctual.... no mistakes. the drive was BEAUTIFUL....

unforgettable wildlife experience
We booked the safari on relatively short notice, but from the very first interaction, Meru Slopes made us feel well taken care of. Our inquiry was handled promptly, and they were very accommodating to our wishes and our (student-friendly) budget. Daniel was an outstanding safari guide! With over 20 years of experience, he shared a wealth of knowledge, offering insightful explanations and fascinating stories throughout the journey. Despite the bumpy roads of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we always felt completely safe with him.
Accompanying us was the amazing chef, Johana, who treated us to the most delicious Tanzanian cuisine for three days straight. Every meal was a delight, and we’re already dreaming of getting our hands on those recipes! The itinerary was perfectly organized, making the most of our time – we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and had two unforgettable nights camping under the stars. Even while being surrounded by the wilderness, we always felt secure and well looked after.
The care didn't stop at the end of the safari: Herrmann ensured a smooth and comfortable transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, with great service and personal attention every step of the way. We can wholeheartedly recommend the safari tour with Daniel and Johana – it was truly an experience of a lifetime!

Wondeful Experience!
We had an amazing experience doing a 9 day journey with See Endless Adventures.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongo Crater with Kindu and Geraldy as our driver/guide. Then we went to Mto wa Mbu town for a cultural tour with Priska as our guide. Finally, we took some days on Zanzibar Island... All our guides were extremely kind, fun, and knowledgeable. Everything was incredible!!!
The tour was fantastic in every way exploring unforgettable places and it was a lovely personal touch to meet Hamis on our arrival who provide all the necessary details. The hot lunches were one of the highlights of our tour and all accommodations were exceptional. Justin was very helpful since the beginning to personalize our tour and responded all our questions. We had the best time of our lives!
We would certainly recommend this company... Asante Sana!!

Best safari!
Me and my girlfriend booked our safari and zanzibar beach holiday with serengeti smile and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. Baraka was great when organising the trip and always responded to my whatsapp and emails promptly. We needed to make a late change and add an extra day due to our return flight being cancelled by the airline and this was quickly added on with no issues. We had George as our safari guide and we couldn't have asked for better! He was extremely knowledgeable both about all the animals we see plus tanzania in general. He helped us see all the big 5 plus two river crossings! George was also a pleasure to spend time with and he made our safari a trip of a lifetime! All the hotels and tented camps that we stayed at were excellent and again we couldn't have asked for better. Our transfers in Zanzibar were always on time with no issues. The whole trip ran extremely smoothly, i highly recommend serengeti smile and will definitely be using them again myself.
Safari trip with great guides/drivers
This review is for Omary who wasn’t my guide for the safari but was my driver back to Arusha on my final day of the safari. He was polite and gregarious with a great sense of humour and was a great driver to end the trip with.

Amazing Safari Experience
We just completed a 5 day safari with Goldfinch that included Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National parks. It was a fantastic experience. We saw tons of animals, including all of the big 5. Our tour guide Assad was extremely knowledgeable and located everything we wanted to see and got us as close as possible. Elisabeth was fantastic to work with to get the plan all out into place for us. We upgraded from tent camp stays to lodges, and we also did a hot air balloon safari, and she set it all up for us. The lodges were great.
10 out of 10 for Goldfinch on our safari. They made it a fantastic trip.

Incredible experience!
I cannot say enough about this tour company. Literally everything exceeded our expectations. First of all, the response time to any questions I had before and during the booking process was very timely. I was always surprised especially taking into account the 8 hour time difference. It was a fairly convoluted booking since there were 4 of us arriving at 2 different times but pick ups and transfers went smoothly. Caren did an excellent job!!
Now, on to the lodge. We stayed at Maisha Mara Lodge and, again, totally exceeded our expectations! The accommodations were excellent, the food was great and the service!!! OMG, the service!!! The staff at the lodge were beyond helpful and kind, quite literally the best service I have ever received. They were all so on top of things and just so eager to help. They were very observant and always asked if we needed anything before we had to ask them.
Then there were the drives. We were assigned John to be our guide/driver. When I say he went above and beyond, I am not exaggerating! He was very experienced and knew the land extraordinarily well. He was knowledgeable, helpful, funny and we really came to appreciate his expertise. We saw some amazing things on the drives including a pride of lions enjoying a fresh kill. We managed to see 4 of the Big 5, the rhinos proved to be too elusive but it was not from lack of trying. John was very tenacious! We were really sad to have to say goodbye to him.
This was an absolute trip of a lifetime and it was all facilitated by Nashibe Adventures. I cannot thank them enough for making my first Safari (it will not be my last) a dream come true!

Safe and secure trip
Vechile was marked with the company logo and very presentable. The driver waited outside the vechile and helped us to load all our luggage. He navigated the road with caution and care. We felt safe and secure. The vechile itself was also very good maintained and the seat were comfortable giving us a pleasent ride.
Thank you Safarilink for the good service provided.

Our trip of a lifetime!
I had the pleasure of working with Stephen for over 2 years, planning this once in a lifetime trip. Stephen was patient with all my questions and itinerary changes. We had a private tour. The accommodations he picked were indeed luxury out in the bush. The people of Tanzania are welcoming and gracious.
And there are not enough adjectives to complement Joachim as a driver/guide. A masterful driver on the worst of roads, made sure we were comfortable, picked the best spots to get our pictures and was very easy to get along with and a great sense of humor. With all the dusty roads and dirt tracked into the vehicle, each morning we got into a clean truck for the day’s drive. Joachim has a wealth of knowledge of the animals, birds of his country.
Planning on a return trip.
