They are very organized, competent and welcoming!
I had an unforgettable experience with Serengeti Vacations. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded my expectations. The safari itself was breathtaking, with incredible wildlife sightings and beautiful landscapes, but what made it truly special was the outstanding service provided by the company. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. I can highly recommend Serengeti Vacations for anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure!

Better than advertised
Tribon was great. He was great for information about all animals and areas in all parks. He kept us laughing and in high spirits throughout the entire experience. He made all efforts to show us as many animals and delivered more animals and areas than we thought we would ever see. It was the high note of our trip to Africa.

Very happy
Tribon is a very good tour guide. He made our trip very pleasant and he is very lively. We like him very much and the itinerary is very reasonable. I recommend him to everyone. The tour arrangement is very reasonable and the price is also very reasonable.

Goes out of their way to ensure a trip of a lifetime
My family booked a 6 day safari and were lucky enough to be paired with our guide Tribon. Lenchada was professional and accommodating from the beginning. Alex answered all our questions even before we arrived to Kenya, accomodated adding an extra Traveller without issue. Our guide Tribon was phenomenal, got us everywhere safely, worked hard to show us all big 5, and was friendly and informative. Would recommend this tour and this guide without hesitation. Thanks for making our bucket list trip a reality!

A dream
We loved our trip with Gilbert, he was such an amazing driver and guide. His patience, kindness and knowledge about the animals was outstanding. He was the best!!!
When my luggage got lost (due to the airlines, got to love them) Fiona was answering my text messages till very late. I didn’t expect to get an answer that quickly, and I really appreciated that!
I would have loved staying with Gilbert as our guide, but he didn’t have the same itinerary as us.

Great safari experience and good communication from organiser
My friend and I really enjoyed the safari and the trip, Fiona was such a lovely person to communicate with. She was very transparent, caring and helpful throughout our stay and while booking the trip. She also made sure to be very responsive whenever we had questions or issues. We were with Gilbert for the first part of our safari and absolutely loved him. He was very patient, on top of everything, communicated our planning, and during the game drive he wanted to make sure that everyone was able to see what they wanted to see, but also that we had enough time to take pictures and admire the animals. We wished we would have been able to do the whole safari with him!
Overall we had a great experience with inspired feet safaris! The itinerary that was sent us, including the accommodation, was exactly what was booked and what we did. We had an amazing time and would book with them again!

Once in a lifetime trip! Thanks to Pius and Godian
If you’re considering Serengeti Smile, don’t hesitate just book it.
Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice to how amazing it really is.
This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I can’t recommend it enough.
First off, a big shout out to Godian, who planned everything for us. From the very first WhatsApp message, he was super responsive and patient with all our questions.
Booking something like this abroad can feel a bit daunting, but he put us completely at ease. He organised every detail, flights, transfers, activities and it all ran like clockwork.
When we landed, we started off with a hike on Kilimanjaro, which was beautiful and also arranged by Godian. Then the safari began, and that’s when we met Pius, our guide and let me tell you, he made the trip.
His knowledge, patience and pure skill at finding animals is unbelievable. He always seemed to have us in the perfect spot at the right time.
We began in Tarangire National Park, spotting elephants, giraffe, zebra, and even two lionesses, a great warm up for what was ahead.
We moved on to the Serengeti, which was out of this world.
In central Serengeti we saw everything we hoped for and more.
Up north, we took a hot air balloon ride over the Great Migration herds which was unreal.
Later, at the Mara River, we witnessed a wildebeest crossing. Again, thanks to Pius, we had the best view.
Over the days we saw (but not limited to):
- 30+ lions, including 8 males and 4 cubs
- 3 lionesses tracking and hunting a warthog, very rare, and Pius was superb
- leopards, one of which gave us an incredible view
- A cheetah
- Loss of Hyenas including 13 feeding on a zebra for breakfast
- A serval cat (a special sighting and hard to spot, but Pius did!)
- Buffalo, giraffe, elephant, zebra, hippo, vultures, eagles and the list goes on
The whole thing was just sensational.
We then went to the Ngorongoro Crater, which is breathtaking in itself.
There, Pius found us a pride of 10 lionesses wandering about.
For anyone wondering, we didn’t see a rhino but that was our own choice, as we decided to stay with the lions. No regrets!
We also had a brilliant cultural day organised by Godian, visiting the Hadzabe tribe where we went on a hunt and tried out the bow and arrow.
Then visited another tribe where we saw traditional tool making. Really fascinating and a nice change of pace.
Our last stop was Lake Manyara, where we saw loads of baboons and a few elephants.
It was a smaller, calmer day compared to the Serengeti, but a perfect way to wind down and wrap up the safari.
At the end, Pius drove us to the airport for our flight to Zanzibar. Godian had organised the flights and the transfer from Zanzibar airport to our accommodation, which was seamless as always.
Another highlight for us was sitting down to dinner with Pius in the Serengeti.
After the excitement of the day, chatting through everything we’d seen while learning from his incredible knowledge was something special.
To sum it up: Godian and Pius made this the trip of a lifetime. Serengeti Smile is an excellent company that you can trust, they’re professional, friendly, and they genuinely care about making your experience unforgettable as they take pride in showing their native Tanzania. We’ll be recommending them to everyone.

Amazing Safari experience- the best!
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel a lot, but this Kenyan safari stands out as one of the best journeys of my life. Every lodge, every experience, every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it a seamless and unforgettable adventure.
Masai Mara Serena Lodge was our first stop, and it set the bar high. The spa was a perfect way to relax after exploring the Mara, but the absolute highlight was the balloon safari. Our guides chose a fantastic company, and floating quietly above the plains as giraffes and zebras ran alongside us was simply magical. We ended the flight with a breakfast in the Mara, surrounded by breathtaking scenery—it was a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
At Lake Naivasha, gliding across the lake among hippos and then riding at the stables gave me a new appreciation for the beauty of Kenya’s diverse landscapes. One of the unexpected highlights was simply driving through the country—the journey from the dramatic cliffs of the Great Rift Valley down to the sweeping savannah plains was breathtaking, a constant reminder of how diverse and spectacular this land is.
Moving on to Amboseli Serena Lodge, the hospitality was unmatched. Watching elephants roam against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro during sunset felt almost spiritual. But if I had to pick the single most extraordinary highlight, it would be Salt Lick Lodge. From the moment I stepped onto the balcony, I was captivated—elephants, zebras, and more animals gathering right before our eyes, as if the savannah put on a private show just for us. The sundowner was absolutely electric with great food, live entertainment, and lots of dancing under the stars—one of those nights that makes you feel fully alive. The night game drive that followed was thrilling, especially photographing lions in their nocturnal world.
At Taita Hills Resort, we were treated to sweeping views, a fascinating WWI museum, and a final safari through Tsavo National Park. Everywhere we went, the food was outstanding, and the staff were some of the warmest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met—they made us feel at home instantly.
I cannot thank our guide Shem enough. He went above and beyond every single day—patient, funny, and always making sure we felt safe and cared for. His warmth and genuine nature made him more than just a guide; he truly became part of our experience and a friend we’ll never forget. Riding in the brand new Toyota Land Cruiser added both comfort and style to the adventure.
This was a five-star safari in every sense—Kenya at its very best, and hands down our most memorable trip to this incredible country.
