Very friendly, varied tour, great organization!
We had a wonderful time in Tansania with Sandpiper Safaris. Everyone of them were more than friendly and helpful. The booking was quite easy and the accommodations were excellent. Our guide drove us safely through the country and he was motivated to show us as many animals as he can.

Excellent
Today is our last day in Zanzibar...a little rest in a location in the south of the island recommended by Mirta, who perfectly organized every detail of our vacation. She assisted me step by step with everything and organized a spectacular six-day safari for us. From Tarangiri Serengeti to the north with the great migration, and then Ngoro Ngoro, everything was planned and organized down to the smallest detail. Every time I called or asked for information, Mirta was immediately available and super professional. The accommodations were always perfect and in line with our requests. Hassan, our safari guide, was kind, professional, and an excellent driver. Our seaside stay in Zanzibar...was refreshing and magnificent. Overall, highly recommended.

Hardworking team that put all their effort in ensuring that our safari experience would be amazing.
We did a 7-day camping safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was well-organized, and our team made the trip unforgettable.
Our guide Tom (Tumsitu) worked hard to make sure we kept “enjoying,” and thanks to him we saw an incredible variety of animals — even a lion hunt! He shared interesting insights about wildlife and Tanzanian culture.
Our chef Sulle cooked us delicious meals every day and served then with a big smile. We especially appreciated breakfast pancakes, freshly baked bread, and the variety of foods including many local dishes.
Camping in the middle of the wilderness was exiting. I'll never forget hearing lions roaring in the Serengeti at night. Highly recommend this safari, especially with Tom and Sulle!

Amazing.
My safari in the Masai Mara was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Peter Kapino. From the moment we started the journey, he was welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had such a great way of explaining the wildlife, the park’s ecosystem, and even bits of Maasai culture, which made the whole experience much richer.
What really stood out was his sharp eye and patience. He could spot animals from astonishing distances and always made sure we had the best possible view. Whether it was watching lions up close, tracking elephants, or finding rare animals, he gave us plenty of time to take it all in and capture photos. He was also a very skilled driver, handling the bumpy and muddy Mara roads with complete confidence, so we always felt safe and comfortable.
On top of his guiding skills, he was kind, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made the long drives so enjoyable. By the end, it felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide. I can honestly say that he turned a great safari into an extraordinary one, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Masai Mara.

The best memories
Even though we're not great at English, they were very kind to us, making it a truly enjoyable safari tour. Lunch offered a different menu every day, and everything was delicious—we never had any trouble with meals. Drinks like water, cola, juice, and wine were replenished daily, keeping us comfortable inside the vehicle. We even spotted the Big Five—truly an amazing guide.
Seamless, caring, and unforgettable safari experience with Serengeti Smile
We booked a 6-day safari with Serengeti Smiles covering Tarangire, Serengeti (Central and North), and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and it was the experience of a lifetime.
Patricia, our tour consultant, was fantastic engaged, responsive, and supportive from start to finish.
On the ground, our safari guide John was beyond exceptional. His knowledge, passion, and sharp eye meant we saw the Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard), cheetahs, and so much more. Every day brought unforgettable moments. He also took the time to answer my endless questions, explaining the different animals, birds, and behaviors in detail, which made the experience even more special.
Everything was looked after for us meals, transport (during and to airport), and our incredible accommodations. We felt genuinely cared for throughout, with the team going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. We also had specific dietary needs, and they accommodated them perfectly without ever making it feel like an inconvenience.
The entire trip ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommend Serengeti Smiles to anyone looking for an organized, authentic, and truly memorable safari.

NICE guide
I thought it was a reliable guided tour from the moment we were communicating on WhatsApp. He replied quickly, was friendly, and listened to me flexibly. The tour guide also responds to our poor English
He showed me a lot of animals. There is no doubt that it is a great guide and a great driving technique
