Lovely staff, wonderful memories!!!
This was really, really, an awesome life experience! From the beginning to the ending, everything was perfectly managed.. you're professionals, and extremely kind staff. Our driver Evans was perfectly skilled and gave us the opportunity to see the whole BIG5. Everything is included except tips, what's extremely comfortable.. you can also drink as much water bottles as you need during each day. Thank you! Thank you, Lucy, and we definitely recommend you.

Unforgettable safari experience!
I was overwhelmed when I started to look for a safari to Amboseli. So many outfitters and many were slow to respond. We had great service start to finish with Savannah Woods. Lucy sent detailed itineraries with everything specified.
We chose a package that included transport to and from Nairobi, two nights at a great hotel Kibo Safari Park with all meals included. Mr. Henry took excellent care of us for three days. He is a confident and safe driver and excellent guide. Thoughtful and kind, we noticed that he is very popular among the other guides.
We can wholeheartedly recommend a safari with Mr. Henry. And if you are lucky eniugh to be there during mango season, he knows the best sort!

Perfect service!
I had a great experience with Savana Woods! Lucy always answers to you, and she's so diligent and organized! They customized my trip with all my needs even when things changed for me during the days.
The information was so clear, the prices were fare, the hotels they booked, according to my budget, were perfect! I was traveling alone, but I felt safe and calm the whole time with them.
The hot air balloon safari was amazing! It's a little expensive what whort it a lot!!
The service, the drivers, the cars, the hotels, everything was perfect!! I absolutely recommend them!
I did the 4 day safari and spent 2 nights in Masai Mara and one night at Lake Nakuru. Also I took the Masai Village tour, the boat tour, the hot air balloon and everything was so whorted. I wish I knew before about the walking o horse safari at Lake Naivasha because I would love to do that. You can get so close to the animals with that safari, so if you have that opportunity, take it!!
I also booked a city tour with Justin that was so nice!! Visiting the Elephant Orphanage, the giraffe Centre, a museum, stopping at very nice restaurants for lunch and dinner.

Local friendly company with excellent service
I was a solo traveler and did a group joining budget safari. I was impressed by Lucy and Josephat at Savannah Woods, a small locally owned company. Lucy communicated with me promptly and clearly, and provided me with multipage detailed itineraries and hotel information. I especially appreciated that Lucy had visited all the hotels and put a lot of work into finding the best budget accommodations -- the camp I stayed at was a step above the other budget options. The service I received was clearly superior to the other companies I contacted for quotes and information.
Our driver/guide Andrew was excellent. He used the radio to communicate with other guides to figure out where the animals were at Masai Mara and went out of his way to make sure we didn't miss any viewing options. I was amazed at the number of big cats and different behaviors we saw at Masai Mara. He was fun to be around and was very knowledgeable about the animals.

Perfect safari trip
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!

Wow experience, everything was perfect from the beginning to end!
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!

Great, recommended
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.

Excelled at Meeting My Wants
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.
