Amazing experience - knowledgeable and friendly guides
My 11-day trip in Tanzania with my cousin, father, and grandmother was unforgettable, especially thanks to our driver and guides Elisante and Joshua. They were friendly, experienced, and had extensive knowledge about the history and natural environment of their country. Elisante and Josh were also attentive to the members of our group; they were happy to stop the safari vehicle whenever a group member had a question or wanted to take a picture. Overall, the experience was amazing, and the guides were excellent. 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Best 3 days Safari
Our three-day itinerary was perfectly crafted to showcase the best of Tanzania. Throughout the thrilling safari in the national parks,our knowledgeable guide made sure we didn't miss any of the incredible wildlife, including lions, elephants, and giraffes. It was like stepping into a real-life nature documentary!
We also visited the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. The landscapes were jaw-dropping, and we had the chance to see a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat. Our guide shared fascinating information about the ecosystem and the importance of conservation efforts.
From start to finish of this trip, the team at African Savannah Trekkers was incredibly fun and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable experience. The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were delicious, and the entire staff was friendly and attentive.
I can't recommend African Savannah Trekkers enough. They truly know how to create an adventure that combines fun, professionalism, and an authentic experience of Tanzania's natural wonders. If you're looking for an unforgettable trip, they're definitely the ones to go with!

An amazing experience!
My friend recommended us to AST for a safari trip to Tanzania a while back. We didn’t regret it, it turned out to be a holiday of a lifetime. My husband, our daughter and I had an absolutely fabulous time. The safari was perfectly tailored for a holiday with 5days and 4 nights of safaris which included 3 parks, Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro. The accommodation was fantastic and the activities organised ; hot air ballooning and meeting the tribes were amazing experiences. The communication was so reliable and precise, the team was so attentive to all our needs and arranged things for us, that we will never forget doing as a family. They did such a fantastic job to ensure we had a truly memorable time. Our guide Eli was so friendly, by the end of the safari we all become friends. I can't help but sing Eli's praises! He was incredibly attentive, professional, and had an amazing eye for detail. He made the safari experience so fun and engaging, ensuring that every moment was full of excitement and wonder. We couldn't have asked for a better guide! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure. We were regularly checked up on via text to make sure we were happy, this operator is so professional and a lovely team to deal with.
We cannot recommend AST highly enough, it was truly magical, the people the experiences, thank you for giving us lifelong memories that we will treasure forever, thank you, to all of you

Outstanding and surpassed all expectations
A Tanzanian safari was a bucket list item for us and this was the right operator to work with. Everything was properly curated and taken care of, and it was a wonderful experience. The accommodations were great, spacious, and clean. The food was excellent. The staff was courteous, helpful and very concerned for guest safety.
Views from the deck include hippos, crocodiles, beautiful birds and zebra and wildebeest crossings were breathtaking and magical. We enjoyed every bit of this trip. The game drives were incredible and our guide was super knowledgeable of the environment, passionate and helpful in making our drives memorable! Our family had such a great time here! They ensured we had an excellent safari experience each day. Thank you African Savannah for providing the moments we shall never, ever forget. It was a perfect trip, I would highly recommend booking with this tour operator

Experience of a lifetime!
We decided to organize our Safari experience in Tanzania with African Savannah Trekkers as a close friend suggested us this super agency and we couldn’t be more happy!
We embraced Philomena suggestions and we went for a 5 days/4 nights Safari: it was the most incredible experience ever! We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks with our private English-speaker and super cool driver/guide Isaac, almost able to see all the big 5 thanks to his great experience: he always knew which road to take

You come as a costumer - But leave as a friend
Our safari included 3 nights and 3 day tours and was the most breathtaking holiday experience we have ever had.
We really wanted to see the Big Five and our driver Elisante made that dream come true.
African Savannah Trekkers with our contact person Philomena gave us uncomplicated and competent advice on the procedure and accommodation in advance, was available at any time (even on weekends) and clarified all our questions via WhatsApp.
At short notice she even organized a cheap transfer to Zanzibar.
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly at the airport by our driver Elisante and after a brief meeting with Philomena, we continued to the first lodge.
After breakfast we leave at 7 am for the Ngorongoro Crater with its green mountains, idyllic steppes, picturesque lakes and impressive herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, lion, exotic birds, hippo and elephant.
Elisante is very good with all the animals, the nature and also he told us a lot about his country.
Even in the evening we sat down and he never tired of answering all our questions.
We feel well looked after, were provided with packed lunches and water during the day and the time flew by.
The next day in the Serengeti National Park , Elisante made our dream of being in the Big Five come true with his eagle eyes despite disastrous road conditions .
We spent the last day at Lake Manyara.
There it was difficult to see other animals because of the dense trees - apart from a lot of monkeys.
Before our onward flight to Zanzibar, Philomena said goodbye personally at the airport.
Conclusion:
It was a great trip with many beautiful experiences
The small agency is warmly recommended. Competent, flexible and very friendly.
You come as a customer and leave as a friend.

Fantastic experience
Philomena and all the team of Savannah trekkers is very professional and prepared.
We are glad to had chosen their company to our travel.
All the Safari, from the first contact until the leaving at the airport, was great.
Philomena help us to decide the better itinerary for our needs and to find the better flight solutions.
During the Safari we had the luck to be driven by Paul, very experienced about Ngorongoro e Serengeti area. Thanks to him, in just 3 days we fully enjoyed the Safari and had the chance to watch all the 'big five' and a lot of other species.
I highly recommend this agency for the professionalism, good price, organisation and last but not least the kindness of this people. Thanks for all guys!
Hope to come back soon!

Excelllent tour operator. Communication and service exceed our expectations. Highly recommended!
We booked a tailor made private tour (7 days) with African Savannah Trekkers. At a very affordable price. Philomena, the coordinator, was so helpful and reassuring. She did everything to meet our needs. We planned out the day by day, over several months. All details where professionally handled by Philomena, and we are so grateful for everything she did. She was able to answer all of our questions and concerns. It was amazing to visit beautiful Tanzania, The Serengeti plains, Ngorongoro Crater and Tanrangire National Park. The total tally of animals we saw on the whole trip: 25 lions, 4 Leopards, 4 Cheetas ... plus, Eland Deer, Dik-Dik, Thompson Gazelle, Turtles, Black faced monkeys, Striped Snake, Donkeys, Wilderbeast, Marabou Stork, Impalas, Hippoptamus, Giraffe, Warthogs, Buffalo, Crocodiles, Flamingo, Heart Beasts, Mongoose, Zebra, Topi, Jackal, Baboon, Elephant, Flamingos, Pelicans, Rock Herricks, Hyena, Ostrich, and too many bird species to name here, Weaver Birds, Starlings, Buzzards, Guinea Fowls, Falcons. We also saw the very elusive Serval. And fortunately, the icing on the cake - one White Rhino ! We were definitely pleased with our choices of parks, but two days (in stead of one) in Tarangire, would have been a better choice, just so much wildlife there. The whole trip was so memorable and just truly amazing. The safari is an unforgettable memory. It will stay in our hearts forever.

Unforgettable trip
The company's service was excellent from the first contact by email. Philomena always clarified all doubts. We did a 4 day 3 night Safari and the service was impeccable. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport the day before the start of the Safari Philomena was already waiting for us and took us to the hotel in Arusha. During the Safari we visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara parks and managed to see the main animals. Our guide Horace was an excellent professional, very kind and made every effort so that we could see as many animals as possible. The accommodations during the Safari were excellent, all first class. I highlight the experience of having spent a night inside the Serengeti in an extremely luxurious cabin. I recommend the African Savannah Trekkers company for sure. And once again I would like to express my gratitude to Philomena and the guide Horace for providing a unique experience that will remain forever in our memories.
