Detailed, dependable and quick to answer
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.

Good price, great service!
With a friend of mine we booked 4 days sadari in Massai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha lake. Lucy was so helpful from beginning. Our tour guide Evans was so patience and knowledgeable, his car was so comfortable and clean. What I also really liked is that he was approaching animals in a animal friendly way that I appreciate a lot. I recommend them to three other friends they all were also so happy and satisfied with the tours with lots of fun memories.
They can provide all sort of tours with whatever budget you have as well. Using local community guides which is also so valuable for me.
I had also one day tour to Wasini island and dolphine watching with Ali a member of the Wasini village. They made our day amazing and memorable. The dive master was so experienced, I got scared in the beginning and if it wasn't for him helping me calm down I would've skipped the dive. I had amazing trip in Kenya with this great team and I would highly recommend them. :)

Very professional and reliable tour operator- totally recommended!
We were a bit skeptical to book a safari from the internet in Kenya with full prepayment before the safari, but since day 1 Lucy was very responsive and easy to contact with. She promptly answered all the questions and provided so many options. She was also very helpful in everything we could ask and ensured that our safari trip was smooth and enjoyable. She even checked up on us during the trip- which was greatly appreciated!
Our driver/guide, Charles, made our safari trip unforgettable. He knew exactly where to spot the animals and also he shared so much valuable info for them. He knew very well the Masai Mara park and we overall had an unforgettable experience! Thank you Savannah Woods for making our trip special!!!

Reliable, professional, very responsive and make everything to have unforgettable safari experience
I was very skeptical to book a safari from the internet in Kenya with full prepayment before the safari, but from the momemnt I have spoken with Lucy from Savvanah Woods I was so confident that everything will be fine. She promptly answered all the questions and provided so many options. Our driver Henri made our trip to Safari unforgettable. He knew exactly every spot and always tried to take the best spots for us to see the animals as close as we could. He knows a lot about animal, with the sense of humor and a very nice person who loves what he is doing. We had to visit one place close to safari which was not planned before and he gladly took us there. Thank you Savannah Woods for making our trip so special!!!

Safe, Affordable, Absolutely amazing experience
Honestly, it was my first time in Africa, and I was very anxious about how to choose from all the safari tours available. However, they maintained great communication with quick responses right up until the day of the tour. The driver, hotel, and food were all excellent, and the care after the tour was wonderful as well. I absolutely want to join a safari tour with this company again. Thank you for an amazing experience! I highly recommend them.
Thanks a lot🫶🏻🫶🏻❤️🔥

Savannah Woods is easy to work with and responds quickly and completely
Savannah Woods has been great right from the start. We did a 1 night 2 day safari to Amboseli National Park. Lucy, the organizer has been very communicative and quick to answer. She gave us several options of hotels of varying price ranges, for this tour . The information she sent in her proposal was very detailed and complete.
Our driver Anthony arrived on the dot at the time specified. He was great, sharing lots of information. We did 2 game drives and saw amazing things including a pride of lions eating a buffalo. Anthony has a wealth of knowledge to share. He was unhurried and went the extra mile in every way. I give him 5 stars. Thanks Savannah Woods.

Very good safari experience
We went on a 3-day safari arranged by Savannah Woods Safaris - and it was really great. Lucy helped us with finding the right accomodation and vehicle, or deciding on a grouped or private tour. She and Joel (our driver/guide) was very flexible about pick up/drop off times and locations, which made our lives easier and we really appreciated it. They were quick to respond any time on Whatsapp too.
Joel went above and beyond to get us to see all kinda animals and he knew just the right spots, and he also shared some interesting things about them.
I would recommend booking with them, it was a great value.
Thank you Lucy and Joel!

Excellent safari operaror
I took the luxury tour to Amboseli and from Lucy, the agente, to Tony, the driver/guide, everything went smooth and as contracted. The park is astonishing, and Tony Made every effort to get the best out of it. A special word for the Okusai lodge, where you can hace breakfast at the foot of the Kilimanjaro while warching a herd of elephants grazing nearby.

Excellent customer service
Although I had many concerns since this was our first trip to Africa, Lucy & Josphat have gone above & beyond to meet our needs. We kept communicating on WhatsApp the entire time and even found a driver for us in Mombasa.
Our safari lasted 3 days and it was what I dreamed & some more. We were very lucky to have a driver like Kush, who has 15 years experience with safaris and basically knew every single bird I asked about. :) He is very well organized, drives well and has a really good sense of humour.
On the first evening he took us to a 2h game drive and he knew exactly how to park the car so we can take the best shots. He really had patience as myself and another team member wanted to take many photos. :D We witnessed the most beautiful purple sunset (see pictures attached). At dinner my husband arranged a surprise with the stuff and a group from Maasai Mara brought me the cake and sang to me on my 40th birthday. ;)
On the second day we had 12 hours of game drive, my husband and I were happy to see all the big 5 except the rhino and many other animals. The most amazing part was that we saw the leopard twice in one day, although this happens extremely rare! Kush took some very nice photos of every person on the safari car, we ate the meal packed by the hotel and he also took us to the Mara river, where we had a short tour to see the hippos & crocodiles.
On the last day we visited the Maasai Mara village where we learned a lot about their culture, we danced and also bought some souvenirs. Then we went back to Nairobi and had a flight to Mombasa for a week of relaxation on Diani beach.
It was an amazing adventure and I encourage everyone to try it at least once in their life!
