This man saved our safari
After we were swindled by another tour operator Jakob stepped up and saved our safari for us. Even though this had to be arranged at the very last minute, everything was great! We had a fantastic five day safari with excellent car, driver, cook and lodging. All in all a very good experience and we recommend everyone to book their safari with Smile tours.

We did a 4 day safari in mikumi nationalpark and selous game reserve. Everything was perfectly organized and on time. Our driver Henry was awesome, he knew a lot of things and was very kind. We would definitely recommend the safari to everybody.

Splendid time with Smile with us Africa!
My family and I booked a 2 day Mikumi safari trip with Smile with us in February 2020. Our guide (Zack) was really helpful, knowledgable, always minding the comfort of all family members and all-around great companion on our trip. We saw many animals in just two days game drive, including a sighting of lions walking just past our car and resting in its shade. The accommodation was nice and cozy with great staff and good meals. Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend Smile with us Africa tour to everyone!

Amazing Selous park!
We took a two-day tour to the Park Village (not far from Dar-es-Salaam). It was a delightful journey! Now in order. The tour we booked on WhatsApp. Manager Jacob answered all questions, advised how best to conduct the tour. You can write to him all your wishes and be sure that you will choose the right price and duration of the tour. After booking the tour, we agreed to meet with the guide before the Safari. Our guide Matata came to us. Very charming and sociable person. With him we discussed once again the route, asked our questions and got answers to everything. You can pay him immediately or agree to pay directly on the Safari, if you are afraid that you will be deceived. The next day we were provided with a large land rover. There were four of us, and each had a seat by the window. There were no problems with viewing the Safari. The price of the Safari includes everything. Food, water, accommodation for the duration of the trip. Nothing to worry about. on arrival to the Park we were settled in simple houses, without frills. There was hot water, Wi-Fi, a big bed. The food was delicious and plenty. All the staff in the camp are friendly. Now about the Safari itself. Spent 1,200 dollars on 4ykh and nor breath not regret! This is what you need to visit Africa for. Matata drove us all 2 days from morning to evening. We looked at almost all animals (lions, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos). The mass of impressions. The guide will tell you absolutely about any animal here. He knows the parks, he knows where to find the animals, how to behave towards them. With this guide we felt completely safe. Many thanks to him! Be ready to drive around the Savannah all day. Physically, it's not easy.

Very good experience
We spent a very good day with a visit to a Masai village. Our Masai guide was very intersting and very kind. We had a picnic to a very nice place, a little far away. Jacob is very professional and accomodating.

Customized our safari to meet our needs and desires and great value for the price!
I worked directly with Smile with Us Tours in Africa to book a 9-day safari in southern Tanzania to the lesser visited parks--Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa Mountains, and Ruaha National Parks. I was assigned to the travel program as curator of education at a top US zoo, so I knew wildlife safari operations and possibilities. I purposely chose these lesser visited parks as I wanted to experience African ecosystems and wildlife without the crowds and swarms of vehicles--I wasn't disappointed as three days we only encountered two to four other vehicles! We saw a plethora of wildlife, including birds and the landscape was beautiful and the ecosystem was intact. Smile with Us Tours in Africa worked with me to customize their 8-day fly by safari and even arranged a visit to a site they had never gone to before. They listened and added a variety of activities, 2-night drives, a walking safari with rangers, and two cultural experiences with the Maasai. The daily itinerary was full, but our driver/guide shortened a couple of days so we could relax at our "camps". The three camps where we stayed at were very nice and the staff worked diligently to take care of our needs and desires. Smile with Us Tours offered the option to upgrade our camps if we wished. The food was varied and offered a variety of local and continental dishes. There were always choices and plenty of vegetables and fruits. Our driver/guide went out of his way to listen to us and work to meet our wishes and expectations (as much as possible). He worked 12-14 hours each day and provided us with some extra experiences and tastes that were not part of the itinerary. It was nice to have additional guides join us and help lead the safari drives, boat trip, night drives, hikes and walking safari. Our driver/guide recognized that he needed to improve on his English comprehension, but overall, he very good as a leader and his personality was fun loving, yet serious and concerned that we had a great experience. The land cruiser was adequate, but showed some wear and tear as the roads were rough on a vehicle. There was plenty of room in the vehicle and the roof raised to allow all of us good viewing of the wildlife we encountered. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues, but they were remedied quickly or taken to the "shop" after we were dropped off at camp. All in all, great value for the 9-day safari and I would recommend you book with Smile with Us Tours in Africa.
