Trip of a lifetime with an amazing, professional, organized guide.
We absolutely loved our tour. I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled a lot and this trip immediately shot to the top of my list of one of the coolest/best trips I’ve ever been on. As part of our trip, we requested going to the Serengeti to see the Great Migration and we could not be more happy that we did!. I highly recommend Savannah Explorers and our guide Evarest. Our group was three women in our early 30s. The trip was organized perfectly. From picking up each of us individually at the airport (including accommodating two of us who had flights that were delayed by more than a day) to drop off, we didn’t have to think or worry about anything other than enjoying ourselves. They gave us options for different hotel packages depending on our budget. We *loved* staying at Nyota Luxury Camp and Lake Masek Tented Lodge and we also liked Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge. Most importantly we loved our guide, Evarest! He was professional, thoughtful, good at picking up on how we were feeling & planning/adapting our days accordingly. He was kind, had a good sense of humor, we felt he was always dedicated to us having the best experience possible from the beginning until the end of the very long days, etc. As three women, we felt we were in great hands with him. If I remember correctly, he’s been doing this for 15 years and knew the unmarked/bumpy roads of the Serengeti like the back of his hand. He was a great driver, and clearly has a lot of love and respect for Tanzania and the wildlife. And most importantly he was GREAT at spotting animals (guides from other tour companies would sometimes stop Evarest on the road and ask where to find the big cats that day). To be fair, it was my sister who planned the whole trip so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the variety and proximity of animals we saw exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. We were able to get so close to all the beautiful animals while still feeling like we/Evarest were respecting them. It really was a dream come true, it’s making me want to cry just writing this haha. Thank you Evarest!

TRIP OF A LIFETIME
This was the trip of a lifetime. Tanzania is magical, the wildlife is spectacular, the landscapes are swoon worthy, but the best part of our trip was our guide, Evarest from Savannah Explorers. He knows Tanzania like the back of his hand and has a keen eye for finding all the best wildlife (a cheetah even jumped on our jeep to check out her prey in the distance. He spotted the cheetah himself so there was not a single other jeep around, just us and a cheetah on the hunt. Talk about epic!!). Evarest is fun, thoughtful, professional, and made the three of us (all women) feel safe and comfortable. It was a treat from start to finish. Our group has traveled the world, and Tanzania is the best of the best and so is Evarest.

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari
Our tour with Savannah Explorers was everything we dreamed of and more. Every day was jam packed with animal
sightings and beautiful scenery and ended with cozy scenic lodges. Our guide, Evarest, was a super star, and was clearly one of the most respected and talented guides in the parks. He found us every animal we wanted to see and many more, and made us feel super safe and comfortable. Our trip was priceless and we absolutely loved it. Thank you Evarest and Savannah Explorers! :)

A high-quality, decent operator. I recommend
We are from Russia. We were offered several safaris via WhatsApp. They chose it. Booked. There are no comments to the company, just thanks: we were met by Emanuel's guide at the airport in Arusha (we highly recommend Emanuel's guide - he speaks perfect English, knows Italian well, is attentive to detail, tells interesting stories, has great knowledge about wild animals), a clean, almost new car, the entire route is on schedule, saw more animals than expected. Thanks!!! I recommend

Unforgettable holiday
It has been a unforgettable safari experience! Our guide, Gerry, showed us all the animals (not only the Big Five, but also many others), explaining everything about them. The accomodation was great, especially the tented camp Kifaru. Thank you a Gerry for lending his binoculars that allowed us to take fantastic pictures!

Unforgettable safari drive and tour with amazingly friendly people!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Savannah Explorers! The tour was incredibly well-planned, and Agusti in the office went above and beyond to tailor the program to our specific needs and preferences. He was very flexible with accommodations and any changes we requested, making the entire process seamless. He made it possible to mix game drives with walks up Mount Kilimanjaro, a coffee plantation tour and a Maasai village visit for our brilliant 10-day holiday!
Our guide, Paulo, was fantastic— very friendly, very good driver, knowledgeable about the animals, and always patient. He sensed when we wanted to stop, having glimpsed one of the beautiful animals, or just a dung beetle crossing the road 😅. He was brilliant at finding the big five, spotting them from far away!
One of the highlights of our trip was his thoughtful gesture of preparing coffee and tea for us every day from his "secret box," (sorry for giving it away!) adding a personal and special touch to our safaris. Paulo truly made it his mission to ensure we had the best experience possible, even patiently teaching us words in Swahili, endlessly repeating them for us - asante sana!
The accommodations were all amazing. The lodges were beautifully situated near activities or within nature, giving us a true sense of being in the wild, yet they provided exceptional comfort. It was great to see their strive to be eco-friendly using natural materials and the frequent use of solar panels.
The meals were varied and plentiful and we loved the cardboard picnic lunchboxes as well as the Tanzanian policy of 'Trash in, trash out', protecting their environment.
The staff at each lodge were attentive, caring, and incredibly friendly, adding to the overall charm of our trip. Nzuri sana!
A nice touch could be to advise anyone booking a holiday with Savannah Explorers to bring along pencils, stickers, crayons, etc to give to children as we walk along tracks and villages - such smiling little faces greeting you everywhere you go!
We wholeheartedly recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience, and more, in Tanzania.
Thank you for such a memorable adventure!
