They took excellent care of our group of 13 people ages 60 years to 81 years for eight days.
We had two guides from MamaSavana who were sub contracted by Intrepid, Allan and Amenities. They went over and above to make our stay in Tanzania spectacular. For example, one day it was very clear and Allen changed our day to go to The Cradle of Civilization so we could be guaranteed to see the site without rain or fog. He had to phone to our camp and rearrange lunch. One of our party became quite ill and even after a long day on our game drive Allen drove the lady and her partner around 45 minutes each way to the closest clinic. Both Allen and Amenities were excellent in naming all the plants, animals and birds we saw.

Perfect from booking to finish! 100% recommed Mama Savana
We had a fantastic time on our safari. From requesting a quote from Mama Savana and getting in on the same day from Alex by email and getting to ask questions and clarifying all points we had via whatapp immediately plus help booking our international flights, to going on the actual safari guided by Allen, that was patient, friendly, knowledgable and caring amongst many other adjectives we can give him, we felt at home and part of the family. They both made sure we got the best time and saw all wished for. We did and saw... the big 5, the big 9! Was amazing.

An excellent safari with our guide Harun
We have just returned from a 5 day safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti which surpassed our expectations We saw the 'Big 5' at pretty close quarters as well as numerous other animals. Our driver/guide, Harun, seemed to have a sixth sense as to where we would find animals.
The accommodation, both the tented and the lodge were extremely comfortable providing really tasteful food and the staff were amazing. You felt you were welcomed as friends.
We cannot recommend highly enough

amazing 7-day safari in Kenya & Tanzania with the best company
As you know , there are hundreds of companies operate safari , but what I would say , Mama savana is absolutely the best one.
After a long time dream of Africa , my wife and I decided to make the dream come true. We built a 2 couple team with our friend and his wife. This is our first time to be in Africa , our bucket list include: to take photos with animals on the MT. Kili background, to see the landscape of endless savanna, to witness great migration and wild killing. As our holiday isn’t ample, how can we realize this list? Mama savana helps come true.
We took a 7-day safari, the beginning was from Nairobi airport. When we arrived, George, our Kenya guide, was there early and welcome us warmly. He took us to Amboseli ,then Namanga border. It was a short but unforgettable tour. We saw the animals on the background of Mt. Kili, it was the picture I imagined and dreamed ever. We also saw the male lion, through he was old, stepping in the sunset with dust, toward his wives, how awesome he was! George accompanied us still we cross the Tanzania border, He is really a caring man, He was always glad to tell us about Kenya, about animal and what we interest. Through it’s only a short time, when we say goodbye, we all miss him.
In the Tanzania side, our guide/leader was Amani, an experienced and humorous guide. He took us to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We had seen the big 5, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, crocodile, Flamingo etc, Amani was a magician, whatever we want, he always showed us. Migration, wild killing, even mating (we had witness lion and zebra mate closely, it’s a very special experience ),all these amazing scene was vivid in my eyes. Amani was a kind guide, he always said “if you want to take photos, just say Amani, then car stopped”. And more, he was a excellent leader. He set the pace on safari, he knew when you can or you should have a brief without missing anything, he told you animal behaviour when you were enjoy your photo work, he would also interrupted your repeated photo works like zebra, gazelle,wildebeest,etc. and suggest you”let’s see something new”. He made you enjoy your safari and experience all things happen in this wild world during your short holiday, and you didn’t even feel a little tired.
People live in modern society maybe worry about the environment in animal kingdom. Just don’t worry and trust Mama Savana’s arrangement, condition of accommodation here is no worse than in your world, and much more special. You can sleep on a queen size bed, have a shower in hot water, view the landscape of endless savanna in your room. Even more, the food is beyond imagination, enjoy your delicious food, meat and beer, then forget the weight you gained.
Maybe there are companies operate higher standard safari with higher standard price to let you experience luxury. Mama Savanna let you experience raw animal kingdom in most comfortable way with reasonable price.They show you what the true animal kingdom is like and the animal kingdom never be luxurious.
Unforgettable memory, Mama Savanna Safari, highly recommend.

Amazing experience with an exceptional guide.
We had an amazing experience with Mama Savana. In the lead up to our safari, they were very prompt and responsive to all our queries. We were fortunate to have Harun as our safari guide. I'd say what made our safari special was 50% the animals and 50% Harun. He had the eyes of a hawk and the brain of David Attenborough. His love of animals was contagious. We got to see three lion hunt fails and on the last day, we saw a pride of lions take down a buffalo. We saw a lazy leopard barely notice a family of warthogs graze beneath his branch. We saw a herd of 50 beautiful elephants emerge from nowhere. We were expecting much more primitive accommodation, but the lodges were as comfortable and welcoming as any high end hotel. If I could have my time again, I'd spend a 3 days (instead of 2) in the Serengetti, but the safari itself was about as close to perfect as you could get.

Excellent service
From the moment we entered Tanzania, we were well looked after by Team Mama Savana. During the ascent of the Kilimanjaro as well as during the safari we had very competent and nice guides, who took care of us very much. On the whole trip we met friendly people without exception. I highly recommend Alex and his team from Mama Savana. Mama Savana helped to make the farewell from Tanzania difficult. I return!

Quick and flexible organization and excellent guide
Communication with the manager Alex was quick and pleasant. He irgsnized our private safari in a very efficient and professional manner. The guide Allen had incredible sharp eyes to spot lots of animals so we could see the big five and much more then we had hoped for (as animals move freely and nothing is guaranteed). In addition, Allen gave us a lot of information, answered every question, was fun to be with and also showed his intercultural intelligence and sensitivity.
We had the best time and enjoyed it so much! Thank you!

Amazing safari experience which exceeded our expectations
From the start, communication with Alex was excellent. He was very flexible and patient about customizing our safari trip and always answered in a short time. Alex went above and beyond compared to the other tour companies we had contacted, providing us with pictures and a variety of options regarding lodging, truly making the booking experience clear and trustworthy. From our arrival to Kilimanjaro airport, to the various locations of our safari including Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and back to the airport for our journey home, we did not encounter any problems. Our guide Allen was great, very knowledgeable about all the animals and was able to answer all of our questions! He was also great at spotting animals from far away. I would recommend booking with Mama Savana for anyone looking for an amazing and memorable experience!
