Getting to see some of the behind-the-scenes work in action was such a treat. Not only are SNS creating beautiful and amazing experiences for travelers, but they also care deeply about the impact they can create to support the people of Kenya and other African nations. With a trip of 20 people, everything felt seamless and very personal. We were picked up by team members from the airport, and the rest was taken care of. The moment we arrived, we were taken care of. From life-changing safari adventures in the Maasai Mara to a beautiful few days at the Indian Ocean in Diani Beach, this trip is one that will always be a top memory.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Safari N Smiles in Kenya, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The trip was exceptionally well-organized, with the perfect balance of thrilling activities and relaxation so there was never a dull moment. One of the highlights was experiencing the Masai Mara from a hot air balloon at sunrise - truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The safaris themselves were breathtaking, with knowledgeable staff who enhanced our experience with their expertise and passion for wildlife. The food throughout the trip was second to none and the accommodation was great. I also had the opportunity to connect with like-minded innovators who have became good friends along the way. This trip was worth every penny, leaving me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Kenya. I highly recommend Safari N Smiles for anyone looking to combine their dental career with the adventure of a lifetime, it's worth every penny!
