Fantastic Four Seasons Stay
We had an absolutely fantastic three-night stay at Four Seasons with Sere Safari. From start to finish, everything was excellent, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
We were fortunate enough to have two fantastic guides who were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the wildlife and the surrounding area. The guided drives were undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. We saw four of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo — with only the rhino eluding us. The guides went above and beyond to make every drive exciting and memorable, while also sharing so much knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem.
The entire experience, from the accommodation and service to the safari drives, was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to safari and would highly recommend Sere Safari to anyone looking for a truly memorable experience.

Personal, well-organised and genuinely caring from start to finish.
We had a fantastic trip through Tanzania with Lazy Lions. The itinerary was very well planned, with highlights including Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
Our guide Issah was excellent: knowledgeable, calm, friendly and always made us feel safe. A special mention also goes to Koen, who is clearly one of the driving forces behind Lazy Lions and an important part of the overall experience. His personal involvement, regular contact and willingness to help whenever needed made the trip feel genuinely well cared for from start to finish.
What stood out most was the combination of good organisation and a very personal approach. The trip never felt like a standard package holiday, but like a journey that had been carefully put together for us.
We look back on an unforgettable experience and would definitely recommend Lazy Lions to anyone looking for a personal and well-organised safari in Tanzania.

Excellent and very professional
We were collected and later returned to our hotel, but in the mean time we were escorted through the boarder procedure and collected by our guide Cilo who gave us the most informative walking tour of the falls. We were given lots of time and shown the best spots to take the most memorable photographs. In time we were taken to the helicopter for a airborne view of the falls which is a must do.
Then lunch and back to the boarder for the drive home. This was all faultless from start to finish. Brilliant.

Friendly and well willing
We enjoyed our time in Kenya very much. The Safaris were world class and we have seen more animals than we could hope for. Some things which could be improved; the amount of different drivers (4 in 8) days were a bit much. Also the changing of people in the Safari jeeps during the days. For example the first day we had to change people 3 times, this did not give the idea the combination of people in the jeep was planned before and had to change because of different itineraries.
And last, sometimes the driver asked where to go as if they were not told exactly what to do, so we had to look it up multiple times, or another example, they dropped us at the wrong hotel. After checking the itinerary we told the guides and it was no problem and they fixed it right away and dropped us at the right hotel.
And that was the thing, it got fixed every time, which was good. But we felt that if they got a little more information in beforehand of which people to bring to which place. It would feel more streamlined.
Overall the experience was great, thank you for this.

KIRICHE safaris met all of their commitments during our Safari Trip
The safari was the trip of a lifetime. We saw fantastic scenery and wildlife, including all the major species. Our guide Francis showed tremendous knowledge of the landscape and animals. He is also very knowledgeable of birding which delighted my birder partner. The KIRICHE luxury lodges were of outstanding quality and comfort. We visited 4 national parks in 5 days. KIRICHE was very helpful with our transfers from Kenya to Tanzania.

Great trip!
Willy was a great guide! He gave us a very fair rate of 24000 for his services to take us around Nairobi national park, and was able to use his experience to make sure we saw all the different animals there! It is hard to control all the factors of safari but finding a guide that can think quickly of different plans to give you a phenomenal experience is the most imprtant and Willy was able to do this!

Not a normal Safari experience
I had an amazing 7/8-day safari with Serengeti Smile and can highly recommend them!
I booked the trip quite last minute, but they still managed to organize everything perfectly and make the whole safari possible. All of my wishes were taken into consideration and fulfilled, and the communication from the beginning was very easy, friendly, and reliable.
A very special thank you to my driver and guide, Gama, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire trip. He took such good care of me, was always helpful, patient, friendly, and did everything he could to make sure I had the best possible experience. I was traveling alone, and I always felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
What I especially loved about this trip was that it was not only about seeing so many incredible animals and learning more about them. I also had the chance to experience more of the local way of life and culture, meet kind and welcoming people, and enjoy very good food along the way. That made the whole journey feel much richer and more meaningful.
From airport transfers to the safari itself, the accommodation, meals, and all the organization in between, everything went smoothly. Everyone I met from the Serengeti Smile team was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, and I am very grateful to Serengeti Smile and especially to Gama for making this trip so special. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
