3 Days Nyerere NP [Selous GR] Game, Walking and Boat

we have just got back from such an amazing experience with this company!!!!from initial interaction with the team here it was seamless, the hotel to airport transfer was completely private along with the tour. The guide named 'Eric' was the best guide- nothing was a problem for him and made sure we got very close to the animals but always kept the animals feeling safe and not scared. his communication was outstanding,a really really nice man. the lodge which we stayed was also very comfortable and luxurious again all staff where very friendly. would highly recommend Smile with Us tours 5 start company Eric and Isack made the experience amazing!!

I went on a solo safari trip with Smile With Us Tours in January 2023. The experience was super from the beginning to the end. Everything was very well organized to meet my wishes, and I felt so taken care of from the moment I was picked up from my hotel in Zanzibar. At arrival in Nyerere National Park (the plane landed while giraffes and other exotic animals were walking by the runway!), I was met by the most welcoming and genuine guide, Eric. He made sure I had many moments I will remember for life during my two days game drive with him. He put in all his effort to find the animals, we got up really close with them, and he was full of knowledge. I saw hippos, lions, zebras, elephants, African wild dogs, hyena, buffalos, crocodiles, giraffes, warthogs, baboons, black face monkey, impalas, waterbuck, wildebeest and more. I am so thankful for everything he did for me to give me the best experience possible. I also did a safari walk and a river safari where I got to see even more animals, birds and learned about animal tracks, herbs, plants and trees, and about surviving in the wilderness. My accommodation during my stay was at Selous Jimbiza Camp. Here I was met by a very welcoming staff. I was treated as a queen, the food was great, the crocodile and elephant bread the chef made were impressive, and I felt safe both day and night. I totally recommend Smile With Us Tours, and would love to go on a tour with them again!

The safari days in the Nyerere park were way above my expections! We saw so many animals (18 lions of which 3 were very young cubs, tens of elephantes, huge amount of hippos, over hundred zeepras, tens of giraffes, 1 hyena, several diff types of antilopes, tens of pumbas, big herd of buffaloes, diff birds, tens of crocodiles, diff monkeys, etc) ! And what was very suprising we saw them very close (some were only 2m away but we felt safe!). Animals were not afraid of us in the big car and that allowed us to approch the animals. We had a very good guide Eric who knows so much about the animals and the nature. I kept asking so many questions and he was happy to answer them all and more. This is the type of guide that everyone should have! You can tell that he loves the animals and the nature and telling stories of them. He was always in time which we (too much) time oriented people appreciate. If we had any additional request he was happy to help us out. I wish him all the best in the future! May your dreams come through! If I could do something differently, I would first have the boat trip (sun set was beautiful) and the Bushman walk, and then go for safari. Safari days were so impressive, climax of all, so that could be saved for last. We were not looking for exlusive accommodation since we only slept&ate there, so the camp and huts were really good for our purpose: good beds, good level of hygine, good showers, good food and a bar with cold beers. All staff members were friendly and customer oriented. Big thanks to them! We were a group of 3 adults (family 30-55y) and had a private safari car just for the three of us. I recommend this if you like to do things on your own rythm. We were watching the huge amount of diff animals coming to drink for a good long moment, meaning as long as we wanted. This would have not been possible with others in the car wanting to rush forward. I fell in love with the nature and animals in Tanzania! I hope I can come back one day. Hakuna matata! ???? ”If you can be anything, be kind, and the rest will follow”
