Accurate service and good price
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro (6 nights), sleeping in lodges and tented camps of medium-high level, with nice staff, good food and strategic position. We had a Toyota Land Cruise droven by an experienced guide, with complimentary Kilimanjaro beers always in the fridge. We were very lucky, wheater was very nice ( no fog in Ngorongoro!) and we saw lots of animals, including 5 leopards. I celebrated my birthday at Osupuko Tented Camp in Serengeti and the staff of Savannah Explorers managed the preparation of a surprise cake for me! Highly recommended Tour Operator for accurate service and good price.

We had a very knowledgable guide, saw plenty of animals, delicious meals and a fantastic time.
What we saw with Savannah Explorers was truly amazing. David our guide was just brilliant. He was always punctual, a lot of fun, knew all about the animals and where to find them and just made it a great trip. Our accommodation and meals were fantastic and even the tented sites were really comfortable. We did Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Manyara NP, Serengeti NP and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were very lucky to see Lion, Lepoard, Cheetah and so many elephants, wilderbeast, zebra, hyena, gazelle just so many animals. The weather was just perfect and we were lucky to be a bit early in the season so had sites generally to our selves. The vehicle we had was very comfortable and we would have no hesitation in recommending Savannah Explorers.

Very good service for affordable price
We have been satisfied and now we can't forget Tanzania and its National Parks. The safari was amazing and we saw a lot of animals. We saw a lot of lions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and also leopard and cheetah in Serengeti. We have also visited Arusha park (it's nice and good starting point) and Tarangire (a lot of elephants!!).
We were only 2 in the jeep, our guide David was friendly and amazing spotting animals in a distance.
Some roads are bumping and driving to Serengeti is tough, but it's a great experience.
We have really enjoyed our time in Tanzania.

Unbelievable experience
We did a 5 day safari in Tanzania (visiting Tarangire, Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and it was a unique experience. Our guide Semle with his experience in the field definitely helped us to catch the big 5 very quickly. The accommodations were really good, beyond our expectations. Really high standard, all the comforts and most importantly, they were clean and the food was really good. The agency also supported us in our second part of the holiday in Zanzibar and managed to book us transfers from the airport and a great hotel in Matemwe (Villa Kiva). Once again the accommodation exceeded our expectations for the view, cleanliness, service and food.
We give 4 stars instead of 5 for 2 main reasons:
1) the trip was already very expensive (yes, and we knew it!) however, tips were “mandatory” every day as stated in a document from the agency 10 € per person per day. We are always happy to help but the agency should not force customers to give mandatory tips considering the overall cost.
2) the flight to Zanzibar was booked in the late afternoon so we lost 1 day of vacation with our guide going shopping (because we had nothing to do) and then he took us to the airport 3 hours early which was more than enough. We would have preferred a morning or mid-day flight.
Overall we are very satisfied with our vacation and Savannah Explorers is a reliable provider that we highly recommend ;)

Beautiful experience
Beautiful experience above our expectations regarding the tented lodges in which we stayed and above all for the quantity of animals seen. Our guide Joffrey was also very knowledgeable and made this experience even better. We will definitely recommend it to friends

well organized and professional
Machame route is confirmed the best way to reach Uhuru Peak, expecially for managing altitude.

A great Adventure!
Me and my family made a 5days safari, starting from Tarangeri, then lake Manyara, two days in the Serengeti (and it was mindblowing!) to end in the Caldera of Ngorongoro.
We were with another friends family, so we were 8 in two jeeps with 6/7 seats for jeep. The Guides/drivers, Gerri(32) and Paulo(27) knew well italian and all the wildlife, paths or vegetations in all those parks! Very friendly, patience and kind. They made this holiday a marvellous living adventure!

Wonderful safari
A wonderful Safaris trip, which was based on our requests, we choose all of the locations ourselves, alternating between lodges and luxury camps; since we wanted a fully personalized experience. All the locations were by the high-level WellWorth hospitality collection.
Savannah Explorers organized all our reservations, trips and park’s visits (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) in a very professional and enjoyable way.
The guide man has been competent and professional, able to find the animals. In January the vegetation is very thick with tall grass but this has not prevented us from seeing a large quantity of animals in similar but very different environments.
The rain of the previous days made the roads through the parks very demanding but the Jeep, although a little dated, was very reliable. Internal comfort can be improved.
The guide was very good at dealing with the most complicated situations.
It was really easy communicating with the staff, we never had such problem.

Good safari experience!
Guide Felix very knowledgeable of all the areas and fauna, we managed to see amazing lions and leopards in action, always going the extra mile even during game en route!
Hotels selection not satisfactory in Arusha, rest of the locations pretty fine.
