Mama Savana has offered us a unique experience in one of the main wildlife destinations in the world
We spent 8 fantastic days with our guide Hassan starting from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Northern and Central Serengeti, Lake Natron and the Ngorongoro crater. We spot a lot of animals and experience many unforgettable moments. Hassan speaks very good English, he helped us to understand the dynamics of wildlife and fully enjoy our travel, teaching us a bit of Swahili, always with a smile and good energy. Thanks also to Alex for the accuracy in the organization, with the itinerary and the accommodations, the flexibility for last minute changes and the warm welcome at the amazing Arusha Coffee Lodge. Absolutely recommended, worth every single cent!

Perfect days!!
Already during the organization everything went perfectly: very friendly communication with Alex, always quick answer, responded to all my wishes and questions in a very friendly and helpful way.
When it started everything went perfectly from the first second on:
Our guide Gelasias picked us up punctually in our accommodation, we even had the great opportunity to get to know your team personally in your office in Arusha and off we went.
Gelasias was always extremely friendly, reliable and a safe driver. He was capable of answering all our questions about the animal world, but also about Tanzania itself. Thanks to him all our wishes regarding animal observations came true - and beyond that we were able to see and marvel at much more than we ever thought. He has always responded to our wishes, has made us further suggestions and made us an unforgettable time in Tanzania's dreamlike beautiful and impressive nature.
The Lodges County Lodge Karatu, Acacia Lodge and also the Tented Camp (Kati Kati) are outstandingly selected: Beautiful facilities, friendly staff and very good food.
We will never forget the experience of staying in a luxury tent in the heart of the Serengeti. The farewell song sung to us by the staff in the Acacia Lodge moved me to tears of joy: Happy to have such a wonderful experience and at the same time sad that it was already over.
We have experienced 4 wonderful days and are infinitely grateful for it.
We can only recommend a safari with Mama Savana to everyone: It was perfect!

Easy and friendly. We would use these again and have recommended our family to.
The safari was brilliant from start to finish. We were extremely well looked after. Our safari guide was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He somehow managed to get us into the right place at the right time. We would 100% recommend mama savana, especially Efraem. The accommodation was always brilliant.

Saved our Safari
Mama Savana managed to literally save our Safari. Beforehand we were cheated by another Safari company and were stranded in Nairobi. We had to book something fast if we wanted to continue our holiday. This is were Alex from Mama Savana comes in. We contacted the company via Safaribooking and Alex called us within an hour. He organised everything in less than a day and the next day we continued our Safari. We had a wonderful Safari with the Agency and our guide/driver Hassan was a gem, he respected the animals space and had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife. If we had an issue Alex would sort it out even after office hours. Mama Savana did let us forget our bad experience and created a great experience for us. Great Agency! The next time I am in Kenya/Tanzania I will definitely book with them again, Top Service.

Alex was very accommodating, however the tour guide was incredibly disappointing.
We got very close to a pride of lions, were present at a lion ‘marriage ceremony’ and watched a leopard/cheetah for many hours. Are your guide had a good eye but lacked communication skills, we were not sure where we were going half the time, he would make decisions without informing us or explaining to us. I believe this was because we were 2 young female travellers. Given the amount of money we paid I was highly disappointed at this and it ruined our trip.

Incredible safari - would definitely recommend!!!
We have just returned from a 5 day safari with Mama Savana. We had the most incredible experience!
Everything was so well organised from the start. The owner of Mama Savana (Alex) was really responsive via email and whatsapp, which made organising our itinerary very easy. Our itinerary was completely customised for us, working around our flight schedule and preferences for camps and national parks. Alex was very professional - meeting us upon arriving for a quick welcome breakfast, staying in touch throughout the safari and calling us at the end to wish us a safe onwards trip.
The safari itself did not disappoint; we couldn't have wished for a better driver. Amani has been doing safaris for Mama Savana for 7 years. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw, giving us just the right amount of information. We saw lions, cheetah, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, gazelle etc. To top it off, we even saw a river crossing as part of the great migration! Above all, Amani was very respectful of the wildlife (which is something we noticed some other drivers were not). Amani clearly takes pride in his job. He would get up early every morning to clean the jeep and was always punctual. We noticed other drivers asking him for advice on occasion. Water was free and the car had a battery in case phones or cameras ran out of power. The jeep was comfortable and Amani was a very safe driver.
We are still on a high from our trip - it was amazing! We would highly recommend Mama Savana Safaris for anyone looking to do a safari!

A beautiful tour by a beautiful person
This team has been wonderful. There are many positive things to say about mama savana and our tour guide (Haruuni). Where can i begin:
Communication is very easy and response to questions are immediate.
The entire team is accommodating and haruuni is especially attentive. We felt like family and had such a fantastic time.

MADE OUR SAFARI DREAM COME TRUE!!!
Mama Savana was very professional since the starting process. Alex always answered all questions right away. We went on a 7 day luxury Tanzania Safari, compared several safari companies and I can tell you Mama Savana has a very good price. All the places we stayed at were great.
Allen our guide was very friendly and professional, his spanish was very good and was always willing to make us feel happy.
We surely recommend Mama Savana. Thanks a lot Alex and Allen!!!

Excellent from first contact until end.
Really good communication (via mail) with Axel from our first request. Guided by Allen, we went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Apart from having knowledge about the animals, being a good driver and communicator, Allen is a very nice guy. It was a pleasure spending the five days with him. We were two adults and four teenage kids on the safari.
