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.

An Unforgettable Dream Experience: A Safari with Friends in Tanzania!

I can't find words enthusiastic enough to describe my four-night safari in Tanzania with a group of 10 friends. It was an experience that far exceeded all my expectations and that I will carry in my heart forever. Being part of a group of friends made this adventure even more memorable. Divided into two jeeps, we shared emotions, amazement, and smiles at every corner of the parks. The duration of four nights and five days was perfect to completely immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of African wildlife and create indelible memories together. We had the opportunity to visit some of Tanzania's most iconic parks, including Serengeti North, Serengeti Central, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Each of these parks gifted us a unique and captivating view of the region's natural diversity. Breathtaking landscapes and sightings of wild animals contributed to making this adventure an authentic and engaging experience. Our group was incredibly lucky with the sightings. We had the extraordinary opportunity to see all five members of the "Big Five," making each jeep ride an endless source of enthusiasm. The wildebeest crossings we observed were spectacular and breathtaking, while the scene of a lioness hunting left us breathless. But undoubtedly, the highlight was the sighting of a rhinoceros, such a rare moment that made our safari truly unique. The guides, Danny and Anthony, were instrumental in making the journey even more special. Sharing their deep knowledge and contagious passion, they turned each jeep ride into an educational and engaging experience. Their friendliness and dedication contributed to creating an atmosphere of friendship and adventure that made our journey even more special. Jacob's professionalism in crafting the itinerary was truly noteworthy. He managed to create a program that fully met our expectations, perfectly balancing sighting moments with accommodation comfort and travel arrangements. Isack's dedication in picking us up from Arusha and taking us to the airport for the flight to Kogatende was extraordinary. His courtesy and attention made us feel as if we were among longtime friends. The impeccable organization, both before and during the safari, added a touch of professionalism and comfort to the overall experience. The "Smile With Us" agency demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to ensuring that every aspect of our journey was well taken care of. From airport arrival, transportation to the various parks, comfortable accommodations, and delicious meals, everything was managed with exceptional precision and attention to detail. In conclusion, I can only highly recommend the experience of a safari in Tanzania to anyone who loves nature, adventure, and untamed beauty. These four days were a journey of discovery, excitement, and wonder, made even more special by the company of my friends, the outstanding guides, impeccable organization, and incredible animal sightings. "Smile With Us" is more than an agency: it's a gateway to a world of wonder and adventure. I can't wait to embark on new adventures with them and my friends in the future.

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.
