You’ve earned your credentials. You’ve built your career. But now you want something more—something meaningful that doesn’t come at the cost of leaving your family behind.
Welcome to Safari N Smiles, where dental professionals earn CE credits, engage in mission work, and experience wild African beauty—with their loved ones by their side.
Here’s how to plan the ultimate dental safari for your family—one that blends service, connection, and once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Many CE trips are built for solo travelers. Not us. Safari N Smiles is intentionally designed for dentists, hygienists, and dental entrepreneurs to bring their spouses, kids, or even parents.
We offer multi-day trips that include:
Daily dental outreach opportunities
Family-friendly safari excursions
Cultural immersion experiences for all ages
You won’t have to choose between serving and spending time with your loved ones.
Each trip offers up to 16 hours of accredited CE, often through hands-on clinic work, case reviews, and evening fireside lectures.
You’ll return home with:
Your CE requirements completed
Clinical experiences you’ll never forget
A deeper understanding of global oral health
And the best part? You did it while exploring the savannah and bonding with your family.
Your kids will never forget seeing a giraffe walk past your safari van or hearing lions roar at night. We organize safe, guided game drives that are both educational and thrilling.
Even the youngest travelers will learn about:
Wildlife conservation
African geography and culture
The value of giving back
“My 7-year-old still talks about the elephants and how we helped children like him get clean teeth.” — Dr. Melissa P., Illinois
In addition to safari drives and dental outreach, we organize experiences like:
Visiting Maasai villages
Learning traditional African crafts
Cooking with local chefs
Attending tribal dances and storytelling nights
It’s not just a vacation—it’s a deep cultural dive for your whole family.
There’s something profound about serving together. Watching your kids pass out toothbrushes, seeing your spouse interact with a patient, or comforting a child in pain—these are moments that stick.
Families leave our trips more connected, more grateful, and more aware of their privilege and power to make a difference.

This was my first mission trip and I was unsure what to expect. It turned out to be a fantastic and humbling experience. Morris and his team put together a very well organized schedule mixing charity work with sightseeing and leisure time. The small group of professionals worked so well together it was amazing to see them in action. I am ready to go again and pitch in where I can. I highly recommend these folks for your next tour. Thanks again Morris. Take a bow! #ghana2024 Omar Hamdy06/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing team and they do tremendous work overseas!

Laura B08/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just co-hosted the latest Safari N Smiles trip with founder, Morris. 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. Thanks to the Safari N Smiles team-- Morris, Keshy, Joseph, and Robinson for being such kind people and for taking such good care of all of our guests!

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!
