Great service with professionalism in spotting and helping us learn about animals
Libe has done a great job with finding animals and keeping us informed of why they were behaving in certain ways. Awesome driving skills. Very attentive to our needs. Found all the animals we wanted to see. Highly recommended!

Well Organized & Extremely Communicative
We just got back from a wonderful trip to Tanzania organized by Serengeti Smile during calving season and would highly recommend that anyone considering a trip to Tanzania reach out to them. Baraka who handled all our communication was diligent and clear. Our driver-guide Zacharia was an exceptional spotter and we were very lucky to see the Big 5 on our first African trip thanks to him.

Professional, passionate, friendly, and hardworking!
We had an amazing seven days in Tanzania! The Serengetismile team was incredibly professional, from the initial sales process to our guide—everything was perfect! They were always prompt in responding to my messages and used their expertise to organize all aspects of our trip.
I would like to give a special thanks to our guide, Champion. He was exceptionally professional and hardworking. We saw all the animals we hoped to see in Tanzania, especially the Big Five. We encountered herds of lions, elephants, zebras, and wildebeests. Champion's keen eye and expertise allowed him to spot animals from far away and notify us. If given the chance, I would definitely choose him again as my guide for future trips.
Additionally, I want to express my gratitude to Erick, the salesperson I initially contacted. At the very beginning, he carefully planned our itinerary and helped us book both our guide and hotels. Erick was always responsive, even answering messages late at night in local time. On the last day, when we made a last-minute change to our schedule, he promptly rearranged everything for us.
In summary, I highly recommend Serengetismile for their outstanding professionalism. Everyone on the team is incredibly friendly and goes above and beyond to assist you. With them, you can let go of all your worries and simply immerse yourself in the awe and joy of wildlife, as they take care of everything for you.

Road trip of a lifetime
We just came back from our 4 day safari tour. Everything was great and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Justin, was very professional and experienced. He and his assitant Ombeni made us feel safe and comfortable. We were lucky to see the big 5 and observe most of the animals up close. We are very happy that we chose serengeti smile and we recommend it to everyone. Tanzania, the people and animals will always remain in our hearts.

Reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. Serengeti Smile offers an unforgettable safari experience
We had the pleasure of booking a 4-day safari with Serengeti Smile, which took us through breathtaking locations like Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, Karatu, and the Ngorongoro Crater. From the very first moment we were picked up at the airport, we knew we were in good hands.
Our main guide, Justin Kimambo, and his assistant, Ombeni Alfred, made the journey an unforgettable experience. Justin is a young but incredibly experienced and professional guide, who impressed us with his calm and composed demeanor and vast knowledge. No matter how long we were on the road or what challenges arose, he always stayed calm and knew exactly where to spot animals in their natural habitat.
His ability to spot wildlife was astounding—he often noticed animals we would have never seen as amateurs. In addition to his professionalism, his sense of humor made the drives even more enjoyable. We always felt safe and the entire safari went smoothly, perfectly according to plan.
A small incident on the last day of our trip showed how committed and reliable the Serengeti Smile team is. Unfortunately, we had a technical issue with our vehicle, which can happen on safaris. Justin did everything he could to fix the problem, and when that wasn’t possible, he quickly arranged for a solution. Another guide took us to the entrance of the national park, from where we were gradually transferred back to our hotel. Although the transfer was time-consuming and a bit tiring, especially since we had long-haul flights the next morning, Justin did everything he could to ensure the transition was as smooth as possible.
We wholeheartedly recommend Serengeti Smile and especially Justin Kimambo. His professionalism, knowledge, and calm attitude made our safari a unique experience. For future trips, perhaps the transfer could be organized a bit more efficiently in unexpected situations. However, overall, the safari was an incredible adventure that we will never forget.
Thank you, Justin, for these wonderful days!

Fantastic organisation form Serengeti Smile. 100% recommend!
Thank you to Serengeti Smile for organising a fantastic trip. Special thanks to Benjamini who helped plan what we wanted to do and was so responsive via WhatsApp, we had instant responses making the planning and booking of the trip super easy. The accommodations/ lodges were all welcoming and comfortable with great food. Our guide was local to the Ngorongoro area so was able to offer us insights into the local people as well as the wildlife we saw. And we saw lots of wildlife, some amazing sights we will never forget (wildebeests crossing the river!). Our guide was always respectful of the animals and did not linger too long if there were many other jeeps - something we appreciated. I definitely recommend adding a trip to Zanzibar to relax after Safari (again the accommodation - Villa Kiva - here has been spectacular!). Thank you for an amazing trip Serengeti Smile! Would 100% use SS again and recommend!

He is the best tour guide.
I did not expect that I would meet a tour guide like Joseph, who has an excellent eyesight and can satisfy your special demands on animals. Thanks to Joseph, we can spot a group of lions and leopards many times. We even have plenty of time to see behaviours of animals and to some extent understand animals. He is definitely an expert in animals and we are so lucky to have him there.
I would also like to give my sincere appreciation to Flora. She really knows what we need and help us arrange everything!

unbelievable trip
The tour guide + driver was very helpful on this trip. They led us to find animals all the way, explained enthusiastically, and told us the habits of various animals, local customs, and people's habits. I was quite satisfied. Have a pleasant trip!

Professional and provide nice service.
The price is reasonable and the travel experience is good. We saw almost all the animals we should see, and we also saw cheetahs eating. We were introduced to a lot of animal-related knowledge, which was an unforgettable experience
