Tremendous Safari Experience with an Amazing Guide
We had a wonderful experience with Mama Savana from start to finish of the trip. Allex was extremely helpful in designing our itinerary based on our needs and was more than willing to make adjustments to the itinerary to make sure the trip was exactly what we wanted. His communication was excellent as he quickly responded to any questions we had and any itinerary specifications we wanted. Throughout the entire planning process he was extremely accessible and understanding.
The trip experience itself was beyond amazing. It is hard to put into words how wonderful each and every part of the safari was and this was made even better with the absolutely amazing guide we had - Allen. Allen knew so much about all of the animals, helped make sure we had the best photos and even took some himself to make sure we not only captured the moments on camera but also truly experienced the moments. There was never a dull moment in the car between seeing hundreds if not thousands of animals as well as the laughter that was provided by Allen throughout the drive. Every place we stayed was extremely accommodating, had delicious food and the service was excellent.
We would highly recommend anyone looking to take a safari to go with Mama Savana as it truly felt like a family experience. This trip built memories that would last a lifetime with a group of people who ensured we had the best time possible.

Dream Vacation
We booked the 7-Day Tanzania Lodge and Tented Safari through the Safari Bookings website (Mama Savana does offer many more safari options on their website). We were pleased from start to finish. Alex responded to my inquiry promptly and answered all of my many follow up questions quickly and professionally! Upon arrival we were picked up by Harun, who was friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area, but was also understanding that we were very tired from a long flight. Allen was our guide for the rest of the trip and I truly couldn't suggest anyone better. He is extremely attentive and intuitively understands what clients need. He is knowledgeable about the animals, parks, photo taking, and life in general. He is very funny, and most important of all, kind. Many times he offered help or directions to other drivers, which gave us a good impression of him and the company. In addition to this, he has a great eye for the animals, of course, and we saw so many more wonderful landscapes and critters than we could have dreamed. All of our accommodation was wonderful, we especially loved Sangaiwe and the Kati Kati Camp (although we did wish the lodges and camps had some local Tanzanian food!) Allen and Mama Savana made our trip the vacation of a life time, and we couldn't be more happy!

Amazing, friendly, reasonably priced and could not recommend highly enough
Just finished my 5 day safari with Mama Savana in the Sarengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. Started in Arusha after travelling after a few weeks in Kenya. Mama Savana is a local company with competitive prices.
Was concerned about arranging the Safari after hearing so many disappointing reviews of tour operators and decided to use Mama Savana because of the excellent communication given by Alex who runs the company in Tanzania and is based in Arusha. In 4 days he came up with a fantastic intinary with excellent accommodation and a stay in the Serengeti for 2 nights.
Alex went above and beyond my expectations and the service was excellent. Our driver Emanuel was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and would ask for our input to shape our Safari experience. He made sure that we left early every morning to experience the Safari when other tour operators hadn't even picked up their clients - with some not leaving until gone 10am and returning for lunch - we were out all day and stopping at some great places to have lunch whilst looking at great views, this meant that we saw more animals than we had even hoped for.
To top it off - I told Alex we were going to Zanzibar afterwards and he even arranged flights and accommodation there with some brilliant local recommendations. All in all genuinely a fantastic experience and again cannot recommend this company highly enough.

He knows a lot about savana and the animals, very professional and friendly with me and my boyfriend.
The hotel suggestion was very nice and the balloon safari magic!

Unforgettable Safari / Zanzibar
Our experience with Mamasavana was impeccable. From the initial planning stages to the end, Alex was very prompt in answering questions and emails were answered swiftly. We decided to do the 7 day safari and 7 day beach. The price he quoted for the package was much more reasonable than the other quotes I got. We went to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park - the northern and central parts and then to Karatu. In Zanzibar we had 2 nights in Stone Town , then 5 nights on the east cost in a beach hotel in Jambiani. I went with my 19 yr. old daughter and was concerned about the meals as she is vegetarian and also does not eat fish. Well no worries; the food was plentiful and tasty and her new food is pumpkin soup! All the lodges and tented camps were excellent and very spacious. The bucket showers were great. My favourite lodge was Sangaiwe Tented Lodge. It had a rustic feel with a beautiful view and a pool. The dining experience was great with candlelights. Our safari driver/guide was Allen and he had good driving skills. The roads were only suitable for land cruisers as the terrain was very bumpy, dusty but he got thru. He had great knowledge about the animals and the terrain. He could spot an animal at a distance whereas I could not see any. He was great company and courteous. We saw plenty of animals and including the big 5 (the rhino was too far for me to see). Saw cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and of course wildebeast migrating over the Mara river and hippos. Tanzania is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I highly recommend Mamasavana as your safari provider as they can customize your safari. We had a great time and will always remember our first safari and hopefully not our last.
