Serengeti Smile - One of the Best Tanzania Tour Operators

“What a journey this has been — our very first trip to Central Africa as a family of four. We discovered the tour through SafariBookings and reached out by email. Francisca responded promptly with three package options, and we chose the mid-luxury experience. Everything was organised seamlessly and our deposit was processed smoothly — we were incredibly excited for the adventure. Unfortunately, our flight to Kilimanjaro was cancelled and rebooked before the trip while we were en route to Johannesburg, which meant we had to forfeit the first day of our 5- day safari. Despite this setback, Francisca was exceptionally helpful right up to the last minute. She assisted with all the changes and kindly provided the necessary documentation for our travel insurance claim for the park fees at Tarangire National Park. Our guide, Abia, truly made the trip unforgettable. With over 10 years of experience, his wildlife spotting skills and driving were outstanding. To make up for the lost day, he planned our game drives so well that we saw the Big Five across Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in just three days — an incredible achievement. Beyond his expertise, his character stood out too. At one point he stopped to help a fellow guide (his own brother) fix a flat tyre, showing genuine kindness and professionalism in the field. From witnessing a magnificent pride of lions, herds of elephant to the black rhino during calving season — the experience was beyond anything we imagined. Despite the travel disruption, this safari exceeded our expectations. The organisation, communication, guiding expertise, and overall experience were exceptional. We would highly recommend this team to anyone planning a safari — they truly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make the journey special. Photos are copyrighted (by me 📸)”

“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! 🦁🌍✨”
