Perfect and fully professional organization, definitely to be recommended
Our 5-day tour was very well planned and executed. All the lodges and the tour were in accordance with the offer, and we actually got a complimentary upgrade of one of camps which was a great surprise. Everything was greatly taken care of, from the process of the reservation until the last moment of safari. Alex has been super responsive via whatsapp and we were amazed that during our trip he has been contacting lodges himself to check all the details of our stay, our lunch packages etc. But the greatest part of safari was our guide Ellie who took the best care of us. He was very communicative, spoke perfect English, spotted all the animals instantly, made us feel safe and taken care of. And he also explained to us the complicated life on savanna. It was a great experience the whole safari and we are thankful to Mama Savana to make it so special.

Sensational Serengeti
From the very beginning this was a dream holiday! Alex responded instantly and helped curate an incredible itinerary, with valuable insights into where to stay, budget and what to expect. We chose mid-level price options which included full board and were blown away by just how amazing these were once we hit Tanzanian soil!
Harun our guide was super knowledgeable and hospitable, adding a personal touch to really make it feel like a trip with a friend. There are many safari companies and I’m sure they are all great, but Mama Savana really are well respected and know their business, namely offering a personalised and luxurious experience witnessing the greatest spectacle, the African bush!!
We saw the big 5, countless herds of elephant, prides of lion right up close as well as on the hunt for their prey. Harun guided us and taught us so much we felt connected to each animal. Serengeti and the Crater were highlights and will be memories for life - this was truly an epic holiday and something I will definitely do again one day!!
Thanks Mama Savana for everything. Hakuna Matata

Fast communication, trustworthy, excellent organization
We spent one week in Northern Tanzania. We covered Tangerine, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti national parks.
We chose this operator based on all the good reviews and we have not been disappointed.
Communication with Alex was excellent, as he replied every time very promptly and he was very honest with all his answers. The package price included everything (except of course personal expenses), no hidden fees whatsoever.
All the lodges included very comfortable and clean. No complaints at all. They were better than expected. The food served was very good and portions big.
As guide, we had Joseph who was extremely passionate about his job. Not only he was an excellent driver but he was also very knowledgeable about all the parks, fauna, and flora. Thanks to his excellent spotting skills we ended up seeing more than we had expected.
We had an amazing time and I can definitely recommend Mama Savana if you plan on doing a safari in Tanzania or Kenya. You can trust this company! They do deserve all the 5-star reviews they have. We plan to go back one day again and we won't hesitate to travel with Mama Savana!

An amazing tour.
We booked a 12 day tour for Kenya and Tanzania thru Perfect Wilderness Safari- Tanzania portion done by Mama Savana. Lodging was all nice with Osinon Camp the best. We saw such an amazing variety of animals. Our driver guide Harun knew the habits of the animals. We saw great interactions among the animals. A great tour.

Best Safari ever! Competent, friendly and flexible operator.
My girlfriend and I booked a 5 Days Safari Tour. All questions we had before booking were quickly answered and a detailed Plan for the 5 Days was sent to us. Also a quick rebooking because of a cancelled flight was no problem. Alex and his whole Team are very kind and made us feel super confortable.
We were picked up by our tourguide Harun and the journey began. We had 5 beautiful and unforgettable days. We visited three different Parks, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater where we saw the whole variaty of wildlife of Tanzania. We let the pictures speak for themselfs. Harun our tourguide was just awesome. He is a really funny guy, kind and he really knew everything there is to know about the culture and the Wildlife of Tanzania. Thanks to him, his skills and a little bit of luck we saw lions eating their prey right next to us two times. A leopard was right next to our car and so much more. We really had a great time with our new rafiki Harun. Also the cultural day, our last day, was really cool. We learned about rice and banana farming, the different tribes and had a really great local lunch.
Also the accomondations were outstanding. The lodges were pure luxury with nice views beautiful rooms and very good food. The tented camp was really clean and confortable with delicious food. You sleep savly right next to wildlife of serengeti. It was a real higlight for us.
Overall the service was incredebly good. We enjoyed every minute.

Mama Savana provides excellent value and service for a safari that you will love!
Mama Savana provided excellent service and value from start to finish. They responded very quickly to questions, regardless of time of day. They helped me plan the perfect itinerary, including an ending on the beach in Zanzibar after safari. The accommodations were as good as promised and in many cases even better due to a surprise upgrade. The food was consistently good to fantastic. Our wonderful guide, Allen, knew where and when to find the animals and got us so close I still cannot get over it. He taught us so much about the animals, local culture, language and music. He was a safe driver, knew the parks, and had a reliable car (hugely important). He helped us get to the best vantage point for taking photos. Everything about The entire experience was so much better than I could have asked for our imagined. Everyone at Mama Savana was professional, solicitous and just plain fun. I recommend unequivocally.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SAFARI IN KENYA AND TANZANIA
WOW! Can’t say enough how wonderful Mama Savana Safaris was to book with! My husband and I found the company on this website and the moment I began communication with Alex, the entire process was awesome. He told us everything we needed to do before hand and helped us along the way when we had inquiries. We had our guide Sammy take us around Kenya and Harun take us around Tanzania! The process of doing a covid19 rapid test across the border was quick and easy too. My favorite moments included seeing a large heard of giraffes at Lake Nakuru, seeing the two remaining northern white rhinos at Ol Pajeta, seeing the large property at Masai Mara, seeing the migration of wildebeest over the Mara River from the northern Serengeti side, seeing leopards hanging out in trees in the central Serengeti and just getting to know our guides in each country. They both were absolutely incredible and I HIGHLY HIGHLY SUGGEST booking with this company. We also had Mustafa drive us our last day and he was incredibly helpful and kind too. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and I will forever be grateful for everything we experienced! We saw all of the big five and then some. Get ready for cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephant herds, different types of giraffes, hyenas…everything! Oh and if you love birds too, this is the trip for you! I’ve posted tons of photos on my Instagram: @lindseyhenry0711

Fantastic safari experience!!!
An amazing trip organized by Mama Savana. Alex was very flexible while we considered several itineraries. He was very responsive and provided us all the solutions we could ask for. The safari experience was really amazing. Harun, was our guide in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He showed remarkable dedication and made our exploration fantastic. There was no day, we didn’t enjoy observing the wild nature so close, thanks to his knowledge and experience. Harun was so helpful in all the aspects of our trip.
Very grateful to Mamasavana and their guide Harun. Highly recommended if you want to have a unique safari experience.

Wonderful safari in Tanzania
We have just returned from a wonderful five day safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara) organized by Tanke Tours in partnership with Mama Savana.
This trip was unforgettable, especially thanks to our guide Joseph, who works with the local operator Mama Savana based in Arusha. Joseph knows to perfection the territory, its fauna and flora. Always attentive to adults and children alike, it is a pleasure to share his passion.
All health precautions were taken during this stay.
We wholeheartedly recommend this experience.
