Incredible experience
I was concerned about booking a safari through the internet but I’m very glad I booked with Savannah Woods safaris. They were great from start to finish. Communication with the team prior to the trip was quick and easy, as was the pick up. Our tour guide Johnstone was fantastic. Not only was he knowledgeable, amenable, and funny, but he went out of his way to ensure we see as many animals as possible and have the most successful safari. I highly recommend using this company!

Amazing experience in Maasai Mara
I never do reviews but this time I couldn’t help but do it. My experience has been amazing with Lucy being always responsive, sharing all the info, and checking on me as well during the safari. But I have to say that the best part came with Sami, our guide and driver. Since the first moment it was easy too see how much he cares about the people with him, super knowledgeable, I learnt a lot from him, and a good person to jokes with. He drove us around for 10h no stop even if he was sick, thanks a lot Sami for this experience and the Savannah group for the great organisation.

Very responsive and great value for money
Lucy was very helpful and always very quick to respond to our questions and requests.
Our driver Evans was great, very friendly and reassuring. He knew the park and other drivers well and was able to get us really close to lions and even an elusive leopard. He went out of his way to help members of our group catch their flight on the way home.
The tented lodge was great for our needs and we were fed well.
For a more budget friendly package we would definitely recommend Savannah Woods safaris.
The only thing I would say that could have been better was that in our group we had members who had booked with different operators and were staying in other accommodation. This meant we didn't get to socialise in the evenings which was a shame but also meant we spent half an hour in the morning and evenings picking up and dropping off everyone from their camps. I appreciate the scheduling won't always work out but I would have liked to have been aware in advance.

Unreal, what an amazing experience
4 day - 2 nights Masai Mara (stopping at sopa lodge), and 1 night lake Nakuru (inside lodge)
Lucy organised my trip, she gave me very quick responses with full information, the tour guide John was exceptional, both lodges were clean and very pleasant with the most amazing views at Nakuru lodge! John definitely knew his stuff when it came to the game drives, he gave us the greatest chance of seeing as many animals as possibles!

Amazing experience from start to finish!
Communication started really well, Lucy helped me find the right package for my honeymoon, and continued contact throughout via whatsapp which was really easy and helpful.
We stayed in a hotel the night before/after the safari which was arranged for us by Savannah Woods too.
We were picked up by Alvin, our guide. The safari was for 2 nights and in that time we saw so much.
The Lodge (pride inn) was lovely and staff were so helpful.
Alvin made sure we saw all we wanted to, and focused on our favorites. Along the way he gave us facts about the animals and told us about life in Kenya which was great. We were recommended a hot air balloon ride as well as a boat tour to see hippos - both of which were amazing and a fantastic addition to the trip.
If I come back to Kenya, which I no doubt will, I would definitely book with Savannah Woods again and would definitely ask for Alvin :-)

Fantastic service and communication
The 3 day Masai Mara safari was fantastic, Lucy made the organisation and communication very easy and our guides Rodger and Caleb were super we in navigating the park and showing us all the Masai Mara has to offer. I found not recommend this safari enough and the people involved made the experience all the better!

Excellent
Absolutely wonderful experience with Savannah Woods Safari.
Lucy provided excellent communication and service from the start and created a tailored Safari experience according to my strict timelines.
The whole team went beyond expectations to ensure I was well supported and taken care of. Very experienced and knowledgeable drivers who really made the safari experiences memorable.
Alvin operated as my tour guide and driver for Amboseli. Very knowledgeable and great company. Went out of his way to ensure I had the best views of Mt Kilimanjaro and extra even took me to extra attractions such as the Giraffe Centre.
Albert operated as my tour guide and driver for Masai Mara. With his skill and knowledge we were able to experience some amazing close up views of lions, elephants, cheetahs and more.
Overall I was able to experience everything I wanted and would highly recommend to others, extremely reliable and great value for money.

Very responsive, well priced, and overall a great experience!
We took a leap of faith and we had a wonderful time in our 4-day Safari!
We found Savannah Woods Safari online, without any specific reference. However, from our interactions on WhatsApp with Lucy, I had a very good feeling. They were responsive and accommodating, even with our several changes of plans. The communication was always professional, and the agenda shared was extremely detailed and descriptive. Last but not least, the price was comparable or better than most of the other companies we contacted.
We decided to go with them, going for a 4-day safari in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. We did a bit of a leap of faith, but it paid off!
Kevin, our tour guide who with us for the whole 4 days, was amazing. He was talkative, attentive, and with a lot of experience, both in Maasai Mara and in Lake Nakuru National Park.
I would recommend both this agency and Kevin for any other trip in Kenya :)

Very good, it was a real pleasure and a great adventure!
We went on a 4 day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru national park. It was absolutely fantastic! Our guide Kevin was the best- he never hesitated to literally go the extra mile for us to see as many animals as possible. He's very knowledgeable and funny. The places we stayed in were amazing, the food was good and beds comfy. The communication with the company and with Kevin was great. We were picked up from the hotel in Nairobi and dropped off at the Airbnb after the trip. The activities organization was great with enough time for breaks on the road, meals and shower at the hotels we stayed in, so that we were comfortable throughout the whole journey. The safari in parks was super exciting and we've seen many animals from very close. The flora was also impressive and I would recommend the experience to everybody; it's exciting but you feel safe at the same time.

Amazing Experience
Our trip with Savannah Woods Safaris? Wonderful! We had a unique experience, enjoyed learning about the areas we visited and the many different animals we saw. Dennis, our driver and guide, who took the at times tricky roads with ease and cool, also kept us safe when the weather was a little inclement. He was great! Since it was our 25th wedding anniversary, the staff at the Sopa Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge made it very special for us! We felt well taken care of by Lucy and her team who really went the extra mile - Asante sana!
