Professional & experienced

We have just completed a 5 day safari across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu & Ngorongoro. We have the best experience of our lives. The booking process was smooth and any questions we had were answered sufficiently and quickly. We were lucky to have Zack as our guide who was absolutely brilliant. We felt safe at all times, he was a very skilled driver even in difficult conditions. Zacks knowledge and experience was superb, his eye for spotting different animals and choosing what routes to take really made our experience and meant we were able to see some incredible sightings. We saw more than we ever expected we would thanks to Zack including a serval cat, 3 leopard sightings, 4 rhinos, many close elephant and lion encounters and so so much more. We would recommend Serengeti smile to anyone thinking of coming to Tanzania, we have truly had the most amazing time and are feeling very grateful for the experience we’ve had.

Outstanding Safari Experience – We saw it all!

​We had an unforgettable 4-day safari for 4 people thanks to our exceptional guide Pius Meiliar. He was incredibly polite, calm, and attentive to our every need. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we managed to spot not only the Big 5, but also the Ugly 5 and Small 5, always getting us close enough for the perfect photos. ​His eye for detail was amazing—he pointed out everything from lions and rhinos to "Pumbas," unique lizards, and tortoises. Communication was seamless, and the daily itinerary he planned was comprehensive and perfectly structured. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and full safari experience! The overall experience relative to the price was more than great, offering truly exceptional value for everything we experienced.

The best!

Our safari guide in Tanzania, Pius Meiliar, was absolutely AMAZING!!! 🤩 We truly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible he was! With great experience, outstanding knowledge, and genuine passion for wildlife, he gave us some of the most magical moments of our lives. He had an incredible ability to spot animals and always positioned us perfectly to experience every scene up close — it felt like we were inside a live documentary! Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five, which made our experience even more unforgettable. Always smiling, kind, patient, and full of positive energy, Pius made our safari not only exciting but also completely safe and comfortable. Pius Meiliar made our adventure truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend him to anyone who wants an authentic and extraordinary safari experience in Tanzania! 🦁🌍✨
