An Experience We Would Rebook
Our family and friends had an amazing 5-day safari with our guide, Everest! You can tell he takes his job seriously, and that’s a plus. He cares about nature and all that it has to offer. We enjoyed talking to him and simply getting to know him as a person. I loved hearing his stories about Tanzania and its people. His knowledge of the land and animals was intriguing. Between all of our game drives, we were able to see 4/5 Big Five.
Communication with Mickey was excellent and he answered the millions of questions I asked. I liked that we were able to adjust accommodations (we upgraded our hotel in Arusha) based on our needs, and we were happy with ALL three locations.
The Kifaru Lodge and Mountain View Lodge were both top notch. The staff at both locations were friendly and professional. We loved practicing our Swahili with them. They were attentive to all our needs and went above and beyond to make our group feel comfortable. John, Merry, Samson, Forsten, Benson, and Samwel are just a few of the names from both locations. Wish I could remember them all.
I would definitely say we got “our monies worth”. The meals were never small in size, cheap, or subpar. The lodging was always great, and the professionalism provided by everyone was top tier!
Can’t wait to safari again with Savannah Explorers and Everest!

Beyond expectations
We take away a piece of Tanzania that will always remain in our memories.
A heartfelt thank you to our guide Geofrey who accompanied us on this wonderful adventure and made us fall in love with this magical land and the people who live there.
Geofrey is much more than a guide, he is an excellent driver, an expert knowledge of the animal world and his land, a kind guy, always ready to answer questions as well as having an incredible eye for spotting animals. We saw all the big five and up close too!
Thanks also to the Savannah team for the perfect organization and the speed and efficiency with which they recovered valuables (and quite a few) forgotten in a hotel safe without making us lose even a day of our safari.
We will be back for sure!

Incredible Experience with Timba!
We had the most amazing time with Savannah Explorers. Our tour guide Timba was the most knowledgable, helpful, patient and kind tour guide we have ever had in any recent trip. The animals we saw and the places we went were phenomenal, thanks to our guides skills and experience, as well as the great planning from Augustin in Savannah Explorers. I would 100% recommend Savannah Explorers because: planning and booking was smooth because Augustin did a great job communicating with us, understanding our needs while also making appropriate recommendations (like staying an extra day to ensure that we see the great migration). Hotel bookings and pick up / drop off at airports were also very smooth and well communicated throughout the team. Timba was a great driver and tour guide throughout our 6 day journey through Tanzania. Timba was super knowledgeable about the parks, the region and of course all of the animals, and were able to learn so much. Timba's experience and skills also allowed for great animal spotting, including the rare ones, which I know does not happen every time. If you are planning a safari trip, do your self a favor and book with Savannah Explorers!

A beautiful experience that could have been even better
A wonderful experience. You become one with nature and it’s Habitat. All the parks are unique with their scenery and habitat. Was able to see all of the big 5 of the African safaris. Our guide was positive and explained all the details, a true person.

Alessandra made our Tanzania tour experience exceptional, amazing and magical.
Leaving the States with no preconceived notions about Tanzania, we (7 of us) were excited to find our tour and Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks a dream come true. Not only were we able to experience the best in photographic safaris because of our guides Nixon and Kisamu, who expertly commandeered our land rovers and dished out important details about both the flora and fauna) but we were also able to truly get a first hand look at the local inhabitants accommodations ( guided enthusiastically by Karim) and a colorful Masai village. We were surprised to learn that Masai children attend school from 3 yrs on in their one room schoolroom but also may continue to higher education away at school. Thankfully, most Tanzanians know some English and communication wasn't the very hampered; when necessary, our guides Nixon, Kisamu and Brighton, stepped in to translate.
Our terrific, clean, accommodations, which provided little oases in the dry period, included savory meals and picnic lunches (you will be cautioned to watch out for thieving birds/monkeys) when on safari--we couldn't have asked for more. All hotel and camp personnel were kind, welcoming, friendly and happy to take care of our needs--even taking care of the laundry!! After a long, hot day in the land rover, it was also a bonus to jump into a refreshing pool to cool off. Even in the wilds of Tanzania, we lacked for nothing which couldn't be provided; rest areas were plentiful along the way---no need to worry about toilets unless one is unfamiliar with "turkish toilets".
We can't thank Alessandra and her staff enough for their expertise and teamwork. Our transport from one locale to another was seamless--with one glitch on a larger bus hampered on it's path by the rocky dirt roads...all in a day's travels. Importantly, Alessandra arranged for my husband, born in Iringa, to visit his ancestral home and travel to his grammar school in Arusha.
This trip, with Alessandra organizing at the helm and of course our great guides, expert drivers and accommodations staff was the dream of a lifetime for my husband and an unforgettable experience for us all. Kudos to Savannah Explorers!! We highly recommend you !!
