HAKUNA MATATA
The safari tour was really good, especially our guide Kikitu.
One day was only to transfer from masai mara to nakuru lake and we expected some activity.

Incredible Experience!
We had the most amazing 6 days with Serengeti Smile as a family of 5 adults. From the moment we enquired about the booking, the communication from the office staff was fantastic and they were so helpful with advice and answering our questions.
Our guide, Champion, was incredible. He took care of absolutely everything - not just spotting and finding amazing animals but making sure we were always comfortable, the Land Cruiser was super clean, and I have to mention his excellent off-road driving skills!
Our accomodations were wonderful, particularly the Southern Serengeti Migration Camp, which is owned and run by the same company. Unbelievably attentive and kind staff, who even surprised us with a birthday cake.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Smile Serengeti to absolutely everybody - a fantastic, local tour operator, who have earned every single one of their 5* reviews!

Will, Cosma, and their entire team are simply fantastic! They listened carefully to our wishes and were incredibly kind. They love sharing their passion, and it shows! You can trust them completely. They put together a superb safari for us and it was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you again, and see you soon!

An experience of a lifetime!
Our safari trip with Serengeti Smile was an absolute joy from start to finish. Our guide Champion was brilliant in every way: he spotted animals from miles away and helped us find much much more than big five! His driving skills were outstanding and we enjoyed some great chases, mud sliding and uphill climbs - all done in exceptionally fun and safe way! Our lunches were prepped, packed and nicely delivered to us daily and all clean up was also done by Champion with great care for environment making sure we done leave anything behind. I can not recommend him and the company enough - we had the best time and will definitely come back again! Asanta sana!

Big five
Very good experience, we saw the big fives and a lot of newborn animals. One elefant was just by our camp site.

Ayubu was an outstanding guide with deep knowledge, sharp eyes, and great humour.
Communication before and during the trip was clear and responsive, and everything ran smoothly and reliably from start to finish. The service was excellent and the safari offered great value for money, with well-planned game drives that allowed us to see all of the Big Five and unforgettable moments like a cheetah mother teaching her cubs to hunt. We learned so much about Tanzania and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour.

Good & reliable
We only had a transfer from the Kruger park to Johannesburg by Tiyani. It was good. The only thing is that the wifi was very spotty in the mountains, probably due to lack of cell service.

Well done!
This was a great option for our first day in Entebbe. After a long flight we didn’t want to do too much. This excursion fits all the right boxes. Not to strenuous, amazing guide Patrick, field guides truly knew their material and boatsman safely handled the boats. We were able to see not only a very large Shoebill but also a juvenile. The pit stop at the equator sign finished a perfect day

12 DAYS MIDRANGE GROUP SHARED SAFARI
The safari trip was excellently organized. Fiona was always available via WhatsApp at very short notice and provided helpful tips in every regard. All guides and drivers were always absolutely punctual, very friendly and reliable – it was a pleasure traveling with them and experiencing the fascinating wilderness of Kenya and Tanzania.
The vehicles were occupied with 4-8 people on different days. It's naturally more comfortable when it's a bit less crowded, but thanks to the pop-up roof and the excellent skills of the drivers, you can always see everything.
The lodges maintain a very good standard and offer comfort, cleanliness, a good food selection (also for me as a vegetarian) and a very pleasant atmosphere – many had pools, there was often a fireplace or campfire, and always large and comfortable rooms.
Value for money for this type and scope of trip is really excellent.
We added a few days at Diani Beach on our own – if you have time, I'd highly recommend it (or, easily reachable by plane from Arusha: Zanzibar).
