Detailed, dependable and quick to answer
5/5

We had a great experience with Savannah Woods Safaris from start to finish. Lucy provided us with a detailed tour package for 2 different trips: an overnight safari in Amboseli National Park and a day trip to Hell's Gate, Naivasha Lake and Crescent Island. She was very easy to work with and answered all of our questions quickly. Our tour guide/driver Anthony was right on time, polite and just plain nice. He was a safe driver and was informative about the park and animal facts. On our safari we watched a pride of lions eating a buffalo and we returned the next day to see the progress of the feast. There were many "extras" that Anthony threw in for us , going above and beyond in order to give us a wonderful time. Prices with Savannah Woods Safaris were comparable to other agencies that did not provide the same service or information.

This is the one.
5/5

The communication and guidance I received from Savannah Woods was next level. Lucy should be your first contact - she knows the ins and outs of safari and can customize what you need. My only regret is not having her handle additional parts of my travel to Kenya.

A unique Safari
5/5

I would like to invite the tourists all around the world to go on Safari with them. They are well organized, the service is pretty good and I can say it is not expensive for what they are offering. As a tourist, I would like to come back because they are reliable and they didn't try to scam us.

Well organized and provided an amazing tour.
5/5

Lucy was our contact to book our trip and she always responded to our enquiries. The tour delivered everything we expected. Jack, our driver and guide was excellent and we saw so many animals close up. He put in extra effort to show us animals in far off locations and to extend our visit to the park. Well done!

VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS THERE 24/7
5/5

Savannah Woods Safari is AMAZING. Please go ahead and book with them. I have contacted several tour operators in Kenya and they are very slow to respond, especially with last minute bookings.

But Lucy from Savannah Woods Safari helped me a lot for my last minute Safari bookong and was always ready to respond within minutes 24/7.

Her and Josphat's team are excellent guides (Especially RICHARD Please look for him as your guide). They make sure you see all the Big 5 within a day and just a stone's throw away.

Their prices are very reasonable too.

I have been to several safaris in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and I have to say that Masai Mara Kenya is the best! You don't need to spend days finding lions, etc. In fact all Big 5 (and ugly 5) are abundant in Kenya.

Suffice to say, none of this amazing trip in Kenya would have happened if it weren't for Lucy and Josphat, and Richard at Savannah Woods Safari.

Highly recommended!

5/5

I have journeyed around the world and seen different countries for their wildlife and nature. I can say, with confidence, that Savannah Woods Safaris was the best among nature and wildlife tour providers I have ever encountered. It took them just an afternoon to come back to me with several tour plans, allowing me to choose one that suited my interests and budget. The itinerary included three game drives in two national parks and one diving excursion in a marine national park. They guided me every step of the way, ensuring that everything ran smoothly, and it was only when I settled into my seat on the plane to leave Kenya that they felt a sense of relief. I recommend them to anyone wishing to see the beautiful country of Kenya. Depending on your budget and time, I am sure they will plan the best journey for you and provide excellent service throughout.

Excelled at Meeting My Wants
5/5

George is a great guide. I was on a private tour with him for 4 days/3 nights. I am an avid photographer and tend to have wants that are somewhat different than the typical Safari guest. First of all I have done too many safaris to count. Secondly I want to stay at one place longer than most would - waiting for that perfect shot. George was also great at finding great opportunities for once in a lifetime photos.
Everything from the customization of the tour through the execution to my eventual departure for Zambia was perfect. Thank you and I will be looking forward to seeing you again.

Great, recommended
5/5

We booked a private safari in Masaai Mara and Amboseli with Savannah Woods Safaris.
Before we booked, Lucy quickly provided us with several very comprehensive quotations for different options, explaining all the costs, the inclusions, and the description of the activities. The booking was straightforward, and we are really satisfied of that.
During the safari, we were picked up at the hotel at the time agreed by our guide, Mr. Anthony, he was an extremely pleasant, informative , helpful, and always willing to meet our requests.
The safari was great, we are extremely happy about our experience and we definitely recommend choosing Savannah Woods Safaris.

5/5

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!

My wife and I went to 3-day private safari to Maasai Mara, and it was an absolutely incredible experience, we couldn’t be happier with how everything was handled from start to finish.

1. Booking and Communication:
From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless and well-organized. The communication with Lucy, the manager, was prompt, clear, and professional. We were provided detailed information about the itinerary, accommodation, and what to expect, which made planning much easier.
All payment questions were also solved quickly and smoothly.

2. Transportation and Comfort:
We opted for a 4x4 jeep, and it was the best choice we could have made. The ride was smooth even on rough terrains, and the vehicle was well-maintained, clean, and comfortable.
As it was a private safari, we had more flexibility in planning the routes - huge advantage as well.

3. The Driver/Guide:
Our guide Kelvin was simply outstanding – knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. His deep understanding of the animals, their behaviors, and the landscape made the safari even more enjoyable.

4. Accommodation and Food:
We stayed at Jambo Mara Loudge, and really liked it. The cottage was clean and cozy, the staff was always welcoming and attentive, the food was nice with a lot of options to choose from.

5. The Safari Experience:
The game drives exceeded all our expectations. Despite the low season, we were fortunate to witness a lot of animals including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, and even a cheetah hunting.
The landscapes in the park are also incredible.

To sum up, this was one of the best experiences we had ever, and we are grateful to the team, especially to Kelvin for making it so memorable!

Perfect safari trip
5/5

Alfred and Jackson were amazing tour guides. The whole trip exceeded our expectations. Everything from accommodation, to transportation, to animal encounters were perfect.
Our guides were super friendly, helpful and flexible, we spent 2 nights in Masai Mara and 3 full days with them. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and see as many animals as we can!
