Tanzania successfully experienced
The safari was all in all a great success. With Mama Savana there were no complications and everything ran perfectly. Thanks also from our side to the great trip.

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.

A great experience!
Our safari experience was absolutely great! The email communication with Alex was very professional (both through email & whatsapp). He was very flexible and picked us up from the Airport at 3am! He also got us a honeymoon dinner on our last night in Arusha. Overall, he made us feel the experience was definitely worthy!
Allen, our driver and guide was very nice to us (and he even spoke a little bit of Spanish, which was definitely unusual to see!). He is a very experienced driver and guide, has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the parks. And, he definitely has the best eyes to spot animals (no matter how far they are). We managed to see the big 5 and had some amazing experiences (close to elephants, a cheetah, lions, etc). Absolutely magical!
Overall, everything was absolutely great and the only tiny downside is that we hardly felt we were in our honeymoon. The places where we stayed overnight were all great (Alex made magnificent choices for us!), but almost none of them treated us in a special way. We just felt we were doing a great trip, but not a honeymoon trip (except on a couple occasions, including the last night in Arusha that Alex took great care of).
P.S.: If you are planning to go to Tanzania in June, beware of the weather! It is colder than you might expect, make sure you bring warm clothes with you!

An unforgettable experience!
We decided to book the "7-Day Tanzania Lodge and Tented Safari" for our honeymoon based on the good reviews and the very competitive price. The tour includes starting in Arusha, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro. We noticed that in case you want to customise your Safari or have special wishes, they are very flexible.
The first pleasant surprise was that mamasavana offered us a free upgrade to luxury lodges with most spectacular views! The second surprise was that we were the only ones at that moment to join the Safari tour, so we basically had a private tour.
The email communication with Alex ( the manager) was very professional and clear and he met us personally for a nice chat in Arusha before we took off for the Safari in the next morning.
Allen, our driver and guide was another pleasant surprise, I strongly recommend to have Allen as a designated guide. He is a very experienced driver and guide, has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the parks, is funny and has the eyes of an eagle!
We were able to see the big 5 and many more animals, and most spectacular of all: we witnessed the kill of a wildebeast by a group of lions, from strategic planning all the way to the finish. We also saw a group of cheetahs feasting on a freshly killed gazelle.
We will definitely recommend Mamasavana safaris to anyone who wants to visit Tanzania and hopefully we will be back soon!
To Allen and Alex: You have given us an unforgettable experience!
Asante sana!

The most wonderful experience I ever had!
Allen was the guide and driver of Mama Savana Safari I booked from Miami USA. If you book a tour I strongly recommend to ask the company to have Allen as a designated guide. He is very professional, has a lot of knowledge but most importantly, knows a lot about animals and their life cycles. He speaks very good english, and is fun, patient and agreeable person. Most importantly, he was able to find in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti all the animals I wanted to see. There are many safari companies but I recomend Mama Savana Safari! Thanks for your service!
Allen was a truly outstanding guide!
Very good experience. Would definitely repeat. Allen was knowledable, pleasant and personable.
