Reviews of Smile With Us Tours in Africa

Excellent tour guide and lot to see

We had 3- day safari in Nyerere NP. Everything went according to the plan except some confusion with the flight to Nyerere and with pick up after arriving. The safari itself was great and we felt we got value for the money. Our guide was Eric, who was really good and service oriented. Eric was in a hurry and we had always time to watch the nature as long as we wanted. Eric speaks good English and he knows a lot. We saw so many animals and more than we expected. Boat safari was not very interesting and we didn’t get much out of it. Bushman walk was only a one-man stand up show. If we go there again, we will skip boat trip and bushman and add even more game drive. And for sure ask for Eric. Thanks for the great safari and special thanks to Eric - you did a super job.

Great Adventure

We booked a 3-day safari to Selous. The communication was very good. Since it was our first Safari, we had a lot of questions and Jacob, who organized everything, replied very quickly. Our driver/ guide Kassimu was very reliable and picked us up on time. He had very good knowledge about flaura and fauna and was very professional and friendly during the whole safari. We were lucky to see all the animals we wanted to see (incl. lion, giraffe, zebra, elephant, hippo etc.). The lodge (Africa Safari Camp) was very nice and clean! On our way back to the ferry, the driver made sure we arrived safely. We had a very good first experience and can only recommend Smile with us tours in Africa.

Amazing Safari Experience

We had an absolutely amazing time during our 3-Day Safari trip at Selous National Park. Our driver and guide Allen was outstanding. We fully enjoyed the time with him. Very kind, funny and at the same time very experienced and professional. The boat trip with Kazim, the walking tour with bushman simba and the village tour with Shaban. Everything was perfectly organized and well explained. Additionally everyone at the camp (Africa Safari) including the helpful masai and the service team were great. Always smiling and providing excellent service. We can definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

Great experience, the best tour operator!

What a fantastic experience we had! Everything was arranged to perfection. Our guide Erick is the best guide ever! He has a lot of humor, speaks good English and knows a lot about nature and animals. He does everything to see all the animals. The overnight stay was great. The people were very friendly and the food was really perfect! I can really recommend this reliable party if you are looking for a once in a lifetime safari! We had booked a two-day Selous safari from Zanzibar (Dutch couple).

Amazing

2 friends an I went for a 4 days safari with smile with us to Mikumi and Selous Park. Our guide, Msese was the best we could imagine. He did everything to make our safari incredible, comfortable and magical. We saw all the animals possible thanks to his perfect knowledge of the parks and the animals. He was very attentive both to our comfort and to explain the animal world to us. The lodges and the meals were perfect! Thanks again for the experience. We recommend 3000%.

Wonderful

My partner and I went on a 5 day safari between Mikumi and Nyerere NP. Our driver Salum, who has a great knowledge of the animals and places visited was very good. We managed to see almost all the animals present and we had a memorable experience. The structures in which we stayed were all welcoming and offered buffets for various meals. I would recommend this experience with Smile With Us to everyone

We had spend 4 days with my family in Mikumi, it was a trip full of joy, laugh and quality time!

We had a driver, "Abe" who knew a lot about animals and who drive us safely every where we had been. He was humble enough to apologize when things went wrong. With my family and friends, we had spend great time in a beautiful place: Bastian camp. I recommend this Safari.

Amazing safari

We had an amazing time in Mikumi and Selous National Park. The communication with the tour operator was really easy and quick. Our guide Salum was the best driver and spotter! He drove very safely and was really experienced. The trip was worth very penny. We can highly recommend this tour (even during rain season)!

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE SUCH ATTENTION!!

We spent a great time with Smile With Us Tours in África!! We did a one day tour to Kilimanjaro and we had a wonderful time. Since the beginning, the communication with Jacob, the owner, was amazing. He was so attentious and efficient. We made a bank transfer one month before and paid the rest amount in person. Everithing worked perfectly. The day before the trip, he went with the guide Chafii to the hotel to a quick briefing about it. The trip day, the driver picked us up at the hotel and we went all together to Kilimanjaro National Park. Jacob himself, did the hiking with us. He is the kindest person on this planet!! We could see how passionate about his country and about África he is. In the end, we contracted his service to transfer us to the airport, and he gave us a special discount. So, if you need to visit the area for Safaris or Hikings, you should do it with them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Unforgettable and amazing experience

We did a 4 night/ 5 day safari at Mikumi and Nyerere National parks as well as Sanje waterfall hike. This was the perfect combination and variety of activities. Tony was our guide and he did an amazing job showing us around, made sure we saw all kinds of animals and got us as close as possible. Tony was very knowledgeable about the different species and always took him time to explain what we see. We felt very safe with Tony and he was always on time. We absolutely recommend Smile With Us tours and most of all Tony!! Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Nicole

A+ Safari Experience

Jacob was the man behind the operation, he was very helpful in answering my questions and helped me plan the trip and SAVE money. Yes! He helped me SAVE money on lodging by offering the Taji Rest House, which is a great lodge in the middle of the Serengeti (5 stars to the staff that work there, as well). The prices were great, better than other companies. Freddy was the man behind the wheel. He did a great job. He has eyes like binoculars... most of the time, he saw the animals before we did. He had extensive knowledge of all of the animals, as well as the area, itself. He answered all of my questions and did his best to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible... which we did. I'm very happy. The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater are amazing. I highly recommend going to both places for your safari, and I highly recommend booking your trip with SmileWithUsTours. Also, one more thing I forgot to add: Freddy recommended that I double-check my flight, because he said Precision Air cancels flights a lot... and he was right. Thanks to him, I was able to find out that my flight was delayed and I was able to stay at the safari longer. Thanks again, guys!

Having a great time in Tanzania thanks to Smile with Us.

In the beginning, I had a few questions about our safari. I was very pleased with quick and fulfilling answers from Jacob. We were picked at the airport and start the route to Mikumi. We spent a half-day in the park and saw many animals. next day on the long way to Selous, we could observe the real life of Tanzanian people and we found very interesting. The third day we spent looking for more animals in the Selous game reserve and we were quite successful. Our driver Hassan was very friendly and knew these parks very well. Thanks to him was our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, we cancelled the boat safari and bushwalk because of the heavy rain, but anyway we had a great time during this little adventure. Both camps provided us with nice accommodation and surprised me with their pleasing approach to accommodate my (vegan) diet needs (thanks to Jacob´s involvement). Thanks to Smile with Us my safari dream came true and we would definitely book a safari with them again and recommend them to our friends and family.
