One of the most incredible experiences of my life with the absolute BEST tour guides!!!
This Safari tour was hands down one of the most spectacular trips I have ever experienced and this is entirely due to the effort put in by Smile With Us Tours. Right from the initial booking, through information for planning, pick up from the airport, the game drives, lodging, food, and everything in between, the tour operators were nothing short of incredible!! We booked a 5 day Safari trip starting at the end of May and covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guide Eidi was without a doubt one of the best guides you could ever ask for. Extremely knowledgeable about every single question we asked, as well as exactly where to see the animals, and most importantly extremely fun guy to just hang around with! He made the five days go by in a flash and we never once had a dull moment, seeing Lions, Leopards, Cheeta, Buffalo, Hippo, Vultures, Hyena, Elephants, Giraffe, and so much more. You name it, Eidi knew where to find it! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting him as your guide. He knows exactly what he is doing and knows how to have a lot of fun all the while doing it! :) Similarly, our chef Mataio was one of the best cooks I have ever seen in my life and is also an extremely upbeat and fun guy! He took care of us so well that I actually think I ate better while on the safari in the middle of the Serengeti than when I do at home...The food was absolutely fantastic and by the end our whole truck had named him "Mr Delicious". He definitely lives up to that name and you can not possibly have a bad meal experience if he is your chef. Do not go with anyone else for your tour other than Mataio! On this trip we got to see more than I ever could have asked for and because of Eidi and Mataio the trip was so much more fun that I ever could have imagined. I cannot recommend this tour group enough and especially these two guides specifically. Thank you Smile With Us tours for being a part of the most memorable experience of my life! If I could do it all again I wouldn’t change a single thing! You are exceptional!

Nice 5 Day Safari

The most helpful team and the greatest experience
This was our first Safari tour and we did not know what to expect. It all started with the most helpful Jacob, who helped us organise the tour, listened to all the special requests and adjusted the tour when our flight home was changed. We then got to meet our guide, Fredy, who was the best guide we could wish for. We went on exciting and informative game drives, and in the evening, we had a lot of fun over dinner learning Swahili and talking about our lives. Overall, this has been one of the greatest travel experiences we have ever had. We highly recommend booking the trip with Jacob, and make sure to ask for Fredy and then you will definitely have an amazing time! Iana and Igor Canonic from Moldova

Professional and easy going tour of Ngorongoro
It was easy to book a tour, even though we needed some modification to the itinerary initially suggested, and the price was more than fair. We had a great time in Ngorongoro and many thanks to Jacob and crew for it.

Fantastic
From the absolute start we were treated exceptionally. Our driver Abduhl was very prompt and couldn’t have been nicer The flight over was amazing and once we arrived at the park the same treatment resumed Our guide Kennedy and our driver Dula were an amazing duo! We managed to spot so many animals and Kennedy was on hand to give us information about them. His knowledge of the whole savanna was incredible. I’d give this tour 100 stars if I could.

Awesome tour, awesome people to enjoy Tanzania
We absolutely loved our safari to Selous. The experience was relaxing and so enjoyable - all details were taken care of and we were able to sit back and relax. Our ride in the morning of the first day arrived on time and was quite pleasant to chat with. Our guide for the safari, Hassan, was fantastic. Hassan made sure that everything, to the best of his ability, went smoothly: from driving through the most seemingly untraversable roads to to securing the best spot to observe elephants crossing the road in front of you to helping you buy and ferry tickets for your next steps after the safari. Hassan's passion for the animals real showed and he was eager to share his knowledge with you. I would highly recommend this company to couples or families safari.

Awesome experience
We did an amazing 3nights-4days safari in August in NgoroNgoro conservation area and Serengeti National Park. All our expectations have been exceeded. Jacob answered to all our requests doing his best even if we booked few weeks before departure. Our itinerary was pretty tough as we asked to go to the northern Serengeti to see the migration. Our guide Mike was very experienced and professional that drove us just in Front of Mara river to enjoy the crossing and throug hidden spots to see as many animals as possible. Accomodations were great and confortable, we spent 2 nights in a tented camp in central serengeti and 1 night in a mobile camp in the northern serengeti. Great food and amazing service in both of them. We were overall 100% satisfied, i would recommend to ask for Mike as guide and try to stay closer to the river if you wanna see the migration because our tented camp was quite far from It.

Wonderful 1Day Nyerere/Selous Safari from Zanzibar
Jacob and his team at Smile with Us organized for us one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had, and they did it with just two days notice! If you come to Zanzibar please do not miss out on doing this safari with them. The animals in the wild, and the beautiful scenery will forever be part of our memories. We saw so many animals thanks for our wonderful guide Ramadhani! Jacob was even able to accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions. More importantly the whole process was seamless! They take care of everything, you just walk to your hotel reception and they pick you up and bring you back. Amazing experience!!! Once in a lifetime! Asante Sana Jacob and Ramadhani!!

Perfectly organized, the nicest tour guides and a magical experience
We booked a three day safari tour with Smile with us Africa and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was so well organized! We got a transfer from our hotel in Zanzibar tot he airport and the flight tickets were booked for us to the Tanzanian mainland. We were picked up by Erick, a very nice tour guide who would guide us the whole weekend. We had a village tour, boat safari, game drive in a jeep and a bush walk. All this divided over three days. Erick was a really good driver and we felt really safe on the road with him. Maiko was the other guide and he spoke very good English and French. He knew a lot of things about the animals, nature and the villages. We really learned a lot! The accomodation: Selous Safari lodges was also very nice. It was really clean, very nice staff and the food was very good! We felt really welcome and we would recommend this tour for everyone. If you stay at Zanzibar: book this trip to the Tanzanian mainland!!

Reliable operator with amazing guide
I can highly recommend Smile with us Tours. I went on a 3-day safari in Neyere national park with a friend of mine and truly enjoyed the experience, mainly thanks to our guide Eric. Eric is incredible knowledgeable, very friendly and amazing in spotting the animals. We stayed in Neyere tented camp, which is a 15min drive from the gate of the reserve. Due to the large amounts of rain the past period the park was beautiful green, but it made spotting the animals a bit more difficult, luckily for us Eric knew exactly where to go. Can also highly recommend the Boat safari and Bush walk. Smile with us Tours is easy to communicate with and fastly answered all our questions prior to the safari.
Monique

I think they deserve a five stars ratings regarding on how the serve and communicate with the customers compared to other services I have encountered this one gave me what I expected.

Very accommodating and professional service
We did the southern circuit of Tanzania. From the very beginning Smile with Us were quick to respond to our queries, and were very accommodating when it came to tailoring our itinerary. We had a fantastic journey around 4 national parks with a private guide/ driver Khalifa. We saw everything we hoped to see and lots more. Our guide went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We would highly recommend.

Great Service + Knowledgeable Guide = Amazing Experience
From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar, we were impressed. Our driver Nordin was absolutely incredible. He was prompt and patient. He escorted us to the airport where we boarded our flight to Selous. Once we arrived Erik was there to pick us up and our 2 day 1 night adventure began. The breakfast and lunch were amazing and both our walking tour and boat tour were educational. We then went out for a late day drive which turned out to be incredible. On day 1 we had already seen 2 of the big 5. (not to mention all the giraffes, zebras, impalas, wild dogs, baboons and pumbas. Our driver was an experienced pro behind the wheel. His maneuvering skills were very impressive. The next day was also incredible. From the packed breakfast on the reserve to our AMAZING lunch at Impala Selous, we were pampered at every turn. This was truly a 5 star experience and we will tell all of our friends about our experience! Don't hesitate to book with this organization.

Kilimanjaro and Safari
From beginning to end there is nothing I can fault with the 6 day Kili climb and 4 days Safari. The teams, guides, porters all totally professional and knowledgable in their areas of expertise. Totally recommend Smile without any shadow of a doubt
