Highly Recommend - Ask for Elisante as your guide!
I can't recommend African Savannah Trekkers enough! I discussed trip options with multiple companies, and it was a no brainer to go with African Savannah. Communication from this company can hardly be matched - I always had a response within 1-2 days, and usually within just a few hours. And I sent MANY emails asking questions, rearranging the itinerary, etc to make sure that I had all the information I wanted before I committed and paid. Maureen and Amsi were great to communicate with. But what really sealed the deal was my guide, Elisante. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and patient, and made sure I got the best photos. I can't stress enough having a knowledgeable guide who can find where the animals are. He knows the staff at all lodging locations well, and was more than accommodating whenever I needed anything - extra food, a particular souvenir, back up down the road to get another photo of an animal, sit in a spot for 15 minutes gazing at elephants - you name it. ASK FOR ELISANTE - you will not regret it. *NOTE* That $50 bills before 2006 are not accepted in TZ. Thank you African Savannah for the trip of a lifetime!

A wonderful tour
We were a group of 3 people and booked a safari with African Savannah Trekkers for 5 nights and 6 days. Communication with Amsi was great! Our guide Horace was very good to us and detailed with everything we inquired as we visited Manyara,Tarangire,Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was an amazing tour

Amazing safari - personalized planning and excellent guide!
African Savannah Trekkers planned a personalized safari for me for March 2020. I was in Arusha for a conference and began planning my safari only a month or beforehand. I emailed African Savannah Trekkers and had great experiences emailing with Philomena Amsi. She was always very responsive and patient to some delays in response from my side. She worked with my to design the itinerary that I wanted and best suited what I was looking for. On the first day of the safari, she came to meet me with the driver and we were able to go through the itinerary and confirm that everything was set.
Eli was my driver and guide for the 7 days/6 nights. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ndutu area, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Ngorongoro crater, and Lake Manyara National Park. It was a busy 7 days but I had a great time and Eli was wonderful with maximizing the game drives. It was the rainy season and Eli did an excellent job navigating the roads!! And he was always willing to let me sit and watch the animals from the vehicle for as long as I wanted and waiting on my prompt before moving on. I brought my camera too and Eli was always willing to stop whenever I saw a new bird or a wanted a photo of the 1000th wildebeest.
I was traveling alone and had great conversations with Eli. He's very informative and shared lots of great information on the animals, landscape, and Tanzania. Traveling alone before, I found it can be tricky for guides to maintain the right balance of conversation while also not overwhelming the traveler.
Eli dropped me off at the Kilimanjaro airport in time for my departure flight and overall did a great job of managing time.
I highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers and am so glad that I booked my first safari with them!

Great experience on the Northern Tanzania Circuit!
I highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers for your experience in Tanzania. I selected the 4 day, 3 night Northern Tanzania safari and it was great. My communication with African Savannah Trekkers was good with fast, clear responses. They delivered on everything that was promised in the trip outline. I found their website to be more precise than others where they specify certain trips for a certain price.

First and great safari experience with African Savannah Trekkers
While researching what company to choose for our safari, I came across African Savannah Trekkers founded in 2009, I believe in supporting the local entrepreneurs and their employees as much as possible. So this company was a great choice for me and my wife. African Savannah Trekkers is a young, small, very well run company. Maureen communicates via email herself with us. She answered all my questions promptly and it was clear she was anxious to please us. She planned a safari which would allow us to see the highlights we wanted in the short time frame we had. All the accommodations were very good, luxury hotels and farmhouse.
Our guide Eli was so knowledgeable about the animals and the geology of the land. He definitely took care of us, watched out for us, and entertained us with his knowledge. I can't wait to go back.
To be honest I highly recommend this company for those searching for an enjoyable, informative, affordable and well planned adventure.
Thank you Eli, Mureen, and African Savanah. We miss you

Excellent experience!
We had a 4 day safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara. Horace our guide was very nice, knowledgeable, tried to answer any of our questions and was a very good driver. We were able to observe so many animals up close that we could not leave wondering. The accommodations Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Heritage Luxury Camp were very comfortable.
Many thanks to Maureen and especially to Horace for a wonderful time.

Completely satisfied
We went on a four day safari with African Savannah Trekkers and right from the first emails I had a great feeling about them. The main reason was how thorough and prompt all the information was past on. Maureen was really on the ball when it came to giving advice on our tailor made safari and other trip related matters. Communication with her was fantastic and she made sure everything went smoothly.
We stayed at Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge. We LOVED the Serena Lodge although Hhando was nice too.
Our driver and guide was Timo, great guy. He was quite knowledgeable and wasn’t overpowering at all, very discreet. He was committed to his job and was completely at our service.
We were 100% satisfied and would recommend Savannah Trekkers to anyone. Thank you for making our safari a memorable one.

Big recommendation!
We've had a great experience with this company. It all started with perfect communication from Maureen. She helps you with every question and demands you have. She setup a perfect trip for us which suited our needs completely. Before and after the safari, Maureen visited us to check if everything was to our expectations.
We visited four parks in four days (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Manyara) and had Eli as driver. Although he was a bit passive in communication, he is a very safe driver. He is a king in getting you upfront between the other jeeps to see everything from close by.
Thank you Maureen for this unforgettable adventure. When we come back we'll surely book again with African Savannah Trekkers!
