Champion!
I loved our 5-day safari around Tanzania. It was even better than I imagined. Our tour guide was experienced, we even got to see the Big 5! Champion (our tour guide) was friendly, knowledgable, and went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. He was reliable every morning and I felt safe with him during our trips.
The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because the company did not pick us up from the airport and we could not contact them, we had to arrange our own taxi at midnight to the hotel. They did, however, refund us the amount for the taxi. On the first day, we were told we owed $2000 when we didn’t … this was quickly rectified when we showed them our bank statements.
In summary, we had a great experience and I would recommend Serengeti Smile and Champion to my friends at home.

What an experience
Our safari with Serengeti Smile was nothing short of unforgettable! what truly made the experience special was our incredible guide, Champion. His knowledge of the wildlife, warm personality, and genuine passion for what he does brought the whole adventure to life. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the best of the Serengeti and always felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to Champion, we didn’t just see the animals — we understood their behaviors, habitats, and stories. This trip has given us memories to last a lifetime, and we couldn’t recommend Serengeti Smile (and Champion!) more highly.

5 star safari
Johny Jackson is an exceptional Safari guide whose expertise and passion for wildlife made our safari unforgettable. With his deep knowledge of animal behavior and local ecosystems, he skillfully led us to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, and rare bird species in their natural habitats. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking an authentic, awe-inspiring wildlife adventure in Africa.

Amazing Safari with Abdul and Serengeti Clarity
Our safari experience with Serengeti Clarity was amazing! Our guide, Abdul, has 12 years of experience. He had amazing knowledge of all the animals and the different terrain in the Serengeti. He could even smell when some animals (hippos) were near!
There are a lot of safari vehicles in the parks, and most of the other guides stay near the main road. This meant that when an animal was seen there was a huge crowd. However, with Abdul, he brought us where very few guides go and this is where we saw the most lions, elephants, leopards and cheetahs. Since there were few guides in these areas we were able to get closer to the animals and get the best pictures. We were able to see every other animal we hoped to see - lions, hippos, buffalo, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos and so many more.
Abdul made our safari better than we could've ever expected. He is such a nice and friendly person, which really makes a difference when you are spending all day, every day with your guide. You can tell Abdul is very passionate about his job, getting excited every time we saw a new animal and truly wanted us to see everything we came to see. I highly recommend booking your Tanzanian safari with Abdul and Serengeti Clarity!

Brilliant communication
We booked a family safari at Amboseli, Tsavo West and Taita Hills. The accommodation at Kibo Safari Camp and Severin Camp was beyond excellent. There was some communication regarding dates and type of accommodation; while booking, all of our changes were accommodated by Leisure Escapes. Our driver Duncan was very attentive and suggested different timings and waited patiently to watch the animals. We managed to see all the Big Five and more. Water and blankets were provided. Throughout the safari. We asked them to pick us up from Nairobi and drop us in Diani, which was a five-hour drive away from the last safari location, which they did with grace. Thank you for a brilliant experience.

Excellent memorable safari tour with George, Gosheni
We have really good luck to have George, Gosheni as our safari tour guide for our first trip to Africa.
He arranged our 8 days safari tour in Tanzania perfectly.
Thanks to his excellent hospitality and arrangements, we managed to see a lot of great moments.
E.g. Elephants, we saw a lot of different amazing scenes like a huge family in the element spring Tarangire, a family teaching a calf how to swim, two calfs training how to fight in the Manyara NP etc..
In addition to his excellent knowledge about Tanzania and the circle of life in Safari with his well experience, he has a great personality.
Although I can’t speak English, he was always communicating smoothly with me.
Always kind, reliable, polite not only to us but also all locals and visitors (all nationalities).
Thanks to his great kindness, we also saw people in Tanzania helping each others.
In addition to that, he was cleaning the vehicle every day and we felt comfortable in the vehicle as well.
He taught us Swahili and we enjoyed with people in Swahili as well.
He cooked also lunch for us on the first and second day which was just lovely and delicious.
We can definitely recommend George as the best amazing tour guide to all.

Glorious days with George, Gosheni in Tanzania
This is the first time for us to visit Africa and experience the safari tour.
We are really glad and very lucky to have George, Gosheni as our tour guide.
The tour guide for the long journey is the most importance.
Thanks to his incredible professional arrangements and kindness, it is the best journey ever which we will never forget it.
Our tour was 8 days starting from Arusha NP, then Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Serengeti NP and Lake Manyara NP.
He has the erudite knowledge not only about the Safari world but also all about Tanzania.
On the way to journey, he was also showing us the life in Tanzania with his deep and clear explanations.
We really enjoyed the glorious days thanks to him.
During the safari game drives, he always knows when the amazing moments.
It was always the best perfect timing in the great moments.
We met a lot of lovely families of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, baboons, hippos, dikdiks, hyenas etc..
He knows what will happen in next a few seconds. We were always in the best position to see the wonderful moments and could take the great photos.
On top of that, even though we have already met e.g. lions, he showed us the different scenes. We saw a male lion walking, two females walking to the other females, females with a lot of cubs, three males chilling etc.. far exceeded our expectations every day.
I can't express my gratitude in words.
We will definitely ask him to be together as our tour guide for next safari in the future.
Asante Sana, George!!!!!
