Very well organized safari and Musa is the best!
We had a private safari booked with 4 people for 3 days. The communication upfront with Lucy was excellent. She reacted very fast and to the point on all questions. The lodge where we stayed was great: very clean, luxurious and very good food, friendly people. Our guide Musa was the best! Experienced, knowing all people and places to go to, we spotted a lot of wildlife, and a very good driver. Overall we had a great experience!

Absolutely amazing from top to bottom
I cannot overstate how amazing Savannah Tours were for our Masai Mara 3 day tour from Nairobi. Lucy, one of the marketing managers/tour coordinators helped me nonstop and was in constant contact via WhatsApp. She, William, Stanley (our drivers) and of course Alex our tour guide were just amazing. So helpful, so friendly. Everything went off perfectly without a hitch.
I booked the tour with Sopa Lodge accomodation which I could not recommend more. The service, food and lodgings at the Lodge were truly 5 stars - western 5 star standards. There was an incredible buffet for lunch, breakfast and dinner and even a mini buffet for tea. The food was outstanding - so fresh, so much flavour and so many varieties. They even had cheese and dessert stations!
The Lodge itself is one of only a few lodges adjacent to the Reserve and had the real African authentic feel. The service people there were out of this world - never had better service in my life and I have travelled all over the world.
The safari! Just insane. Alex our guide was so accomodating and warm, punctual and just the best. We saw so much wildlife even in the 2 hours in the late afternoon on the first day - not even the main day! Zebra, lions, leopard, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, hippos and so much more. Of course the full day the next day you see so much and are very close to the animals.
Then finally on the last day we visited the Masai village to see how they live, eat, dance and create. We joined in a traditional dance and learned a lot. It was a very authentic experience.
I would recommend ensuring you have enough cash for tips and purchases as the Masai create wonderful artwork, wood carvings, jewellery and blankets. Just be prepared that as a westerner I definitely felt the perception that we had a ton of money and could just buy and buy and buy. That said, this is a great way to give back and allow Kenya’s economy to flourish.
I could not recommend this tour more, especially for the price. This was also my first time in Africa and of course Kenya and was an experience I will never forget. I will definitely come back!
