Excellent customer service from start to finish - definitely recommend!
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to switch our vacation from Kenya to Tanzania. I sent out multiple quotes to various companies through this website, but Philomena's prompt response and customer service persuaded me to book through African Savannah Trekkers. From arranging the COVID test in Arusha and waiting at the hospital for our results, to Elisante (our driver and guide) who was both professional and personable, to the overall safari experience with the wildlife and spotting the Big Five, it was a wonderful experience!! We even got to see a leopard up close and personal! Philomena was even to organize last minute transfers to the airport for us since one of our flights was changed and we needed to leave at different times to go to Kilimanjaro.
Accommodation review - We stayed in Hhando Coffee Lodge the first and last night - a very quaint lodge just outside of Ngorongoro - and in the Seregenti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp in the Serengeti for nights two and three. The food in the tented camp was delicious and the water pressure in Hhando was exactly what we needed after two nights in the Serengeti. All in all, accommodation was just what was required! Comfortable beds and accommodating staff at both locations! Just note that in both locations, you do not have wifi in the room. There is no wifi at the tented camp (although I did have LTE data on my mobile phone in Serengeti).
With both Elisante and Philomena, African Savannah Trekkers has star staff that go above and beyond. I would highly recommend this company to others considering any type of safari in northern Tanzania!

Thank you very much African Savannah Trekkers for a great safari!
From the first message, you can feel the attentiveness and care. A small company where every tourist is appreciated.
We talked with Filomena, she patiently changed the route and selected camps according to our wishes, and her help in testing PCR in Arusha is simply priceless! She specially went to the hospital because of us at least three times, thanks to her everything went super quickly, Philomena brought certificates to us to the airport.
We had Elisante as our guide - thank him very much! Always in a good mood, traveled at our request in search of "Safari" and souvenirs.
He showed us the amazing beauty of Africa, we saw a lot of animals, and many of them - at a distance of a couple of meters from the car (even a rhino!). He saw a cheetah - as a dot in the distance!
The safari itself in terms of accommodation, logistics, and other organizational moments - no complaints! We had 5 days, 4 nights - lodge and camp, 4 days with game drives.
Africa, its nature and animals - this is something incredible! Thanks to African Savannah Trekkers for opening it up for us!
Asante sana!

Спасибо большое African Savannah Trekkers за отличное сафари!
С первого сообщения чувствуется внимательность и забота. Небольшая компания, где видно, что каждого туриста ценят.
Мы общались с Филоменой, она терпеливо перекраивала маршрут и подбирала кемпы под наши пожелания, а ее помощь при тестировании ПЦР в Аруше - просто неоценима! Она специально ездила из-за нас в госпиталь минимум три раза, благодаря чему все прошло супер быстро, справки Филомена нам привезла в аэропорт (летели через Дубай-там требуют)
Гидом у нас был Элисанте – спасибо ему огромное! Всегда в хорошем настроении, заезжал по нашим просьбам в поисках Safari и сувениров :)
Показал нам удивительные красоты Африки, увидели очень много животных, и многих – на расстоянии пары метров от машины (даже носорога!!). Разглядел в далеке точку-гепарда!
Само сафари в плане размещения, логистики, и прочих орг.моментов – никаких нареканий! У нас было 5 дней, 4 ночи – лоджи и кемп, 4 дня с гейм-драйвами.
Африка, ее природа и животные – это нечто невероятно! Спасибо African Savannah Trekkers, что открыли ее для нас!
Asante sana!

With African Savannah Trekkers — dreams come true!
My husband and I did a private safari with Philomena's company in February 2021. Safari is a very expensive pleasure, we have been pursuing our dream for several years, so we were very afraid to make a mistake with the choice of the company. We wrote to Filomena on the recommendation of our friends, without even reading reviews about her company. At the same time, we signed off with two more companies. The price and route suggested by Filomena were the best. I asked a bunch of stupid questions and always got a polite answer throughout the day. Filomena, the only one who, after my letter that I have problems with the spine and I am a tourist with limited mobility, suggested changing the standard route and making an individual route for me to reduce the load on my back. It was a very correct decision! All our requests were granted. Our driver and guide was Elisante, he is a wonderful modest person, an excellent driver and a real hunter !!! He's passionate and it's cool! He doesn't speak much and that's great too, we felt private in the car. We had a personal space in which no one interfered. When we asked to tell us something, he happily talked to us, when we wanted only endless savannah, wind in the face and the Sun - only for the two of us - we had it. Airport pick up was great, First night was at Hhando Coffee Lodge - it's a chic place on the edge of the jungle .. Great service. Dinners and breakfasts on the terrace are great. Further, through the Ngorongoro viewpoint, we arrived at the Serengeti. Filomena advised two nights inside the park and this is also the only right decision. The roads are long and bad. My friends, the Serengeti is huge, it is endless !!!! It cannot be described, it can only be felt. Overnight in luxury tents..SHUHUDIA ADVENTURE CAMP was a great option. Philomena said, with my aching back, there is no need to sleep in the tents, she will think of something. And she put us in a great place. Great soft beds, good food, savanna next to your bed. Elisante found all the big five for us in 3 days. We didn't even ask where he was going and who he was looking for - we knew he would find someone for us. By the end of the trip, my back pain intensified (this is inevitable for a sick person) and Elisante drove me like a feather, slowly slowly crawling over every bump. Thank you very much for that.

Superb service and great guidance
Chose this company among about 10 others. Very individual approach, quick and smooth communications. The price was also the best I could find.
Everything was even better than I expected: comfortable driving by a very experienced guide Eli, cozy and comfortable accomodation. We slept well, we never were hungry, we saw the big 5 and many many more animals, Eli and Philomenia took care of every detail of our trip.
I highly recommend African Savannah for everyone who wants to have an amazing and safe safari trip!

Unforgettable experience in Africa
This was the first trip we made to Africa and I must admit that it was the best moment of our holiday. African savannah has the top notch team! Communicating with them was quite smooth and they accommodated us so well. We got to have numerous games drives since we visited Serengeti,Ngorongoro,Manyara and Tarangire national parks...it was beautiful! Our guide Horace summed up the equation..he was really patient with us and so generous too, with him we got to know a lot about the many animals we saw! Unforgettable!
Memorable moments in Tanzania
We were a group of 3 and had a 6 day and 5 night safari. We visited Tarangire,Ngorongoro and Manyara national parks. African Savannah can’t be praised better,we experienced the best times of our lives with them. Considering this is a pandemic period we thought we wouldn’t get to have as much fun but this company went above and beyond to make us enjoy every minute! They went way above our expectations, this is a very great team to work with. I can never forget this experience to Tanzania,it was one of a kind!!

Amazing once in a life time experience!
Amazing safari with Elisante! We saw everything. It was tough getting here with Covid but I am very grateful I did. The guide was always sanitizing everything and made it safe. This company went above and beyond to make the experience the best possible. Even with it being just me on a solo safari. I was scheduled for a balloon ride in the central serengeti but it was cancelled due to not enough people. African Savannah Trekkers made the offer and drove me all the way to the northern side just to make a balloon ride. This is an amazing company to book with and a highly recommend it!
