Unbelievable
5/5

Unbelievable tour and absolutely recommend to anyone. Did 5 days/4 nights in Uganda with gorilla trek, chimp trek, and Queen Elizabeth national park. Great communication with their team, answered all questions quickly and efficiently and they took care of all my permit stuff. The activities were genuinely unbelievable and once in a lifetime. Did the budget lodging option and it was insanely nice with great value. Worked with Jason during the booking and Darius and Dan during the tour, the team was great.

Awesome
5/5

Had a great time on the tour. Very fast communication with their team and got questions clarified quickly. My schedule was quite different than others (3 nights Masai Mara, 1 night Nakuru) so I joined other groups throughout the trip, the logistics were actually quite impressive. My main driver for the trip was Dennis Hinga who was great, I also got James and Kikitu for other legs who also did a great job. We got up real close to the animals without disturbing them and got incredible pictures and experience with them. Solid accommodation for the budget level. Absolutely recommend.

Dom was fantastic, very knowledgable and professional at his job.
5/5

Dont really know where to start on how much of an incredible time me and my partner had whilst on safari going through the serengeti, taranguire, lake manayara and ngorongoro crater.

A massive thankyou to the tour coordinator mr frederick, he was outstanding, quick at replying to emails and always giving the best advice and reccomendations.

We wouldnt of had the experience we did if it wasnt for our tour guide dominik. From the get go he was professional in every way and giving useful information as we was enjoying our safaris. Having an unexpected cancellation of flight it would of meant missing the crater but somehow dom mamaged to squeeze it in such a small time frame. Dom also played a massive part of finding us the most incredible spot of the serengeti for our engagement he went above and beyond and we couldnt thank him in enough, if anyone was going to want an experience like we did i would definately recommend him!

Overall we had the most incredible time with serengeti smile they wouldnt of made us feel any more welcome so thankyou to you all.

Amazing
5/5

Our experience with Serengeti Smile was nothing short of exceptional, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

From the very beginning, Fredrick, our booking agent, was outstanding. As travellers from the UK booking with a company based in Tanzania, there is naturally a degree of uncertainty, but Fredrick completely put our minds at ease. He was always incredibly quick to respond, answered every question thoroughly, and provided valuable guidance and suggestions to help us make the most of the time we had available. His professionalism, knowledge, and reassurance gave us complete confidence throughout the booking process, and we knew we were in safe hands long before we arrived.

Our safari itself exceeded every expectation, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide and driver, Dominic. From the moment he collected us from our hotel to begin our adventure, right through to dropping us at the airport, he was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had the best possible experience.

During our safari, we visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dominic worked tirelessly to make sure we saw everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to see the entire Big Five multiple times throughout the trip. His ability to spot wildlife and position us perfectly for sightings was truly impressive.

What made the experience even more special was how far Dominic went above and beyond for us personally. He worked with my partner to help plan the perfect location for a proposal, creating a moment that we will cherish forever. On top of that, when our return flight was unexpectedly changed and brought forward, meaning we would lose our final morning game drive, Dominic found a way to get us back into the park the day before. Not only did he save us from missing out, but he also helped us spot two rhinos — the final animals on our safari bucket list. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable trip.

We genuinely cannot thank Dominic enough for everything he did. He was far more than just a driver and guide; he was the person who made sure we experienced every moment we had dreamed of and more.

If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we would wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile. The service, communication, organisation, and overall experience were exceptional from start to finish. Should we be fortunate enough to return in the future, we will absolutely book through Fredrick again and would not hesitate to request Dominic as our guide.

Thank you, Serengeti Smile, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Flawless customer service from end-toend.
5/5

Estleon was selected by us after reading reviews by other people who described the company's service as outstanding. We were glad we chose Estleon. Esther was our contact in the office and we worked with her in developing a safari tour that met our needs and price range. Peter was our safari guide and he was a great game driver. With many years of game experience he knew where to go to maximize our chances to see the various animals of Masa Marai. We highly recommend Estleon Adventures.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Ramja Safaris in the Maasai Mara!
5/5

From the very beginning, Steve, the owner, was incredibly communicative, organized, and professional. He made the entire process smooth and seamless, with excellent logistics and attention to detail. We especially appreciated his integrity, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to making sure everything was taken care of from start to finish.
Our safari drives with Naftali were exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Maasai Mara, the environment, and the incredible variety of wildlife we encountered. He provided fascinating insight into the animals and their behaviors, making each drive both exciting and educational. He also went above and beyond to ensure that we felt safe and comfortable each day.
The combination of great organization, reliable logistics, knowledgeable guiding, and genuine hospitality made our experience truly memorable. We are so grateful to Steve and Naftali for making our Kenya safari such a wonderful experience.
We highly recommend Ramja Safaris and would absolutely choose them again!

Superb
5/5

Ayal Tours helped to provide me with an absolutely unforgettable experience in Kenya, with many new memories and friends made. This was a last minute trip to Kenya and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I booked it, particularly as a solo traveller from the UK, but from the moment I engaged with the Ayal team they made the whole experience incredibly easy and straightforward. My guide Sammy was absolutely superb, providing an amazing insight into not only the animals in the Amboseli, with his skill and knowledge enabling me to see some amazing sights, but also into Kenyan life and Masai culture. It was a pleasure to spend time with him and the rest of the Ayal team who made me feel most welcome and I’d definitely recommend using their extensive services if wishing to explore Kenya.

Rastaman - Best of the Best!
5/5

I have already reviewed the actual safari from Suricata, which was an exceptional experience and earned 5 stars. But, what made this an over-the-top memorable safari for me was our guide Rastaman! I have been in the travel and tourism industry for many years so I have a lot of experience with tour operators and guides and have never met anyone like Rastaman. And how lucky for us that he was our guide! Yes, all the basics were seen to but Rasta made everything more special. He taught us about the wildlife, the native trees and plants, and the culture. We learned how to use certain plants for medicine, how the climate changes, and how the animals adapt to it, and how everything is related. I could go on and on. It was an amazing experience. So much more than simply driving around to see wildlife. He brought everything to life for us with genuine warmth, generosity, and kindness. He had me wanting to stay longer and then come back again for more. Any company would be lucky to employ Rastaman and I will be sure to follow him whenever I plan to return to Tanzania. Rastaman was an unexpected gift which added so much to an already wonderful life experience.
