Superlative organization and experienced guide
the Safari organized by Savannah is truly organized down to the smallest details, nothing is left to chance, the accommodation facilities are of a high standard. the food, cleanliness, comfort and friendliness at the Marera view and the kifaru tented lodge are truly exceptional and make you fully enjoy your holiday. our guide Thomas led us on a breathtaking safari, introducing us to the heart of Tanzania with its animals and its territory. the experience of more than 15 years in guiding Safaris can be seen and felt, and in an experience of this type it is an essential characteristic. Thomas did his utmost to try to make us see the greatest number of animals, leaving us time to enjoy the view and to take photographs both real and in our memories. as Thomas says, in the serengeti what you will see not only washes your eyes, but above all washes your heart. thank you very much. Asante Sana

A trip for life
At the end of January - beginning of Februart me and my partner have travelled through Kilimagiaro, trekking on the Marangu Route, and the Parks of Taranguire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, with Savannah Explores. It has been a unique experience: a tremendous us nature and landscape, but also a human experience, having spent two weeks with the guides and porters of the organization.
Trekking on Kilimangiaro is not an everyday thing. It requires strenght, spirit of adaptation, sensitivity. Dancan, our Italian speaking guide from the Masai tribe, toghether with Calvino, the over-the-top enthusiasm-maker, has made it possible, supporting us in all ways, providing stuff and comfort. All the porters who have carried our stuff up to the Kili have left a sign in our heart, from maître Jackson to chef Leopard. Surprized? Yes, on the trail we have had every day hot meals, freshly coocked, and hot water for washing.
Technically, I’ve had a health problem, and I couldn’t reach the Peak. Dancan has always been by my side, escorting me to the camp, while my partner got the top with Calvino and a porter. We will never forget and thank enough them for being so professional and friendly.
As for the facilities, the camps have no hot water, not always electric current (we had a solar panel but for 3 days there was no sun), not always Internet (if you are about to plan a trakking, take it into account). We had to share the hut only once in 5 days.
But the adventure continued.
We had a 5 days safari with another guide, Maolidi, which we called “Maurizio” or “Mau”. Mau is an excellent driver, speaks Italian very well, but above all he finds the animals. Always! We’ve travelled in the low season, but we have seen so many animals that we never expected. Mau knows the places (I still wonder how he gets hos bearing, without a navigator) and has an exceptional eye for spotting animals. Punctual, dicrete, professional: he has made the difference.
Both near Ngorongoro and in the Serengeti we stayed in a really stunning hotel and a glamour camp with all facilities.

Spectacular Sightings
We did a seven day (five full) covering Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti (south and central). Every day felt distinct and presented new exciting animal sightings. I kept thinking "we can't top that", but every day I had another wow moment.
Our tour guide, Jackson, was amazing. He clearly communicated the schedule for the day and provided details about the behaviours of the animals we saw. He was great with our 9 year old and accommodated sudden needs for bathroom breaks. Also, I'm pretty sure he had binoculars for eyes because his ability to spot animals was uncanny. He identified a rhino down in the caldera from a lookout high above Ngorongoro. Even with 7x binoculars it was still tiny. Unreal.
Some of our sightings included; a herd of Wildebeest (and a few zebras) crossing a lake (and then some of them crossed right back); giraffes galloping, eating, and looking at us with suspicion; lions sleeping and 100% not caring about us at all before disappearing in a bush that seemed too small to accommodate them; hyenas eating and others playing in the water; and cheetahs just being cats (thrilled we got to see them).
One day Jackson kept us out late because he'd heard that a leopard had been spotted. We had our way through the park and found her sleeping in a tree. While we watched she woke up, stretched, came down the tree, ran past the safari vehicles, up another tree, and started eating a kill she has stashed. Great experience. Hilariously, she was still there the next day, sleeping.
On our last day we came across a large herd of elephants (not our first) with juveniles of many ages. As we made our way down the road we found ourselves blocked by a large one who starred us down until the others had cleared the path. It made for some great photos.
Overall, a great experience.
P.S: I'm not an expert photographer (or any kind really) and everything I took was on my phone. So don't judge the experience by the quality of the photos, but the opportunities they represent.
