Wonderful, beautiful, and amazing place
First, the wildlife was amazing, beautiful, and cute. The food tasted better than I thought, and the scenery was, of course, too good. The accommodation also had a few worms, but the staff was friendly and comfortable. The air in the blue sky was clear, so it was good to travel and it was a healing feeling. The guide on the safari was positive, friendly and in a word perfect. I will definitely go back to Kenya.

An incredible experience
Tanzania has so much to offers. The wildlife is amazing, the scenery follows and the food is pretty good too!! The people are very nice and we never felt unsafe (we were two women). We've done a safari in the south parks, as it is less crowded and touristic and we couldn't be happier with that choice. We sincerely hope that tourism is gonna help the south of Tanzania grows stronger and cleaner but with that same wonderful touch of Hakuna matata.

Mixed up itinerary, below average guide, unreliable vehicle, unkept promises
We booked a private 20-day birding tour from July 25-August 13. The main guide, Alfred, was already booked so we had a guide who doesn't guide as often and wasn't as experienced. Main problems: 1) we had a final itinerary from the office, but it turned out that the guide and driver were given a different version of the itinerary, leading to unexpected and unpleasant surprises during the tour; 2) one of these unpleasant surprises was being told the morning we were supposed to do a chimpanzee trek later that day that we had not paid for the chimp permits and therefore would not be doing the trek. We had copies of the final invoice that clearly stated the price included the chimp permits, but the guide said he was told we could not do the chimp trek; 3) the guide tried to tell us we were wrong -- even when we showed him the invoice; 4) later, we managed to speak on the phone with the office representative and were assured we would be refunded the US$300 for the chimp permits that we had paid for. This was confirmed again by email after we returned home. To this day, more than 2 months after the end of the tour, we still have not received the refund despite several reminders to Alfred. 5) The vehicle we were in during the tour broke down at least twice, leading to long delays to try and repair it. The only good thing about the tour was the driver, Benson, who tried his best, given the situation. He often performed tasks that the guide would normally do such as making sure we were taken care of on the gorilla trek. The guide, on the other hand, paid no attention to whether things were okay with us, be it accommodations, meals, or on the trails. He never once asked how things were going for us. He was more interested in chatting with local guides and park rangers than in finding the birds and helping us to see them. Sadly, we cannot recommend this company as our experience was way below an acceptable standard.

Great Safari. Excellent customer service from the beginning to the end of the trip.
Very good communication before the trip. Our guide Saleh was really a very nice guy, very responsive to any requests from us. He was very dedicated to making sure that we are taken care of. He also shared lots of information along the way.

Wonderful experience for a Lifetime, Tanzania.
My husband and I did a Safari this past summe.
It was very difficult to choose one safari company because there are so many, we are very lucky to have chosen Savanna Explorers Ltd. they are incredible, made ours days unforgettable.
We had a marvellous time in the country. We did a 7 days tour in Northern Tanzania, with an amazing guide called Abia, who went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and see what we wanted to see. The logistics were perfect. We had precious days. Tanzania people are warm and hospitable and we definitely want to return. Thank you Savanna Explorers for the great work.

The adventure of a lifetime.
Our group had a wonderful time in Kenya. We saw lots of wildlife, and a great deal of the country traveling from park to park. The places we stayed were very nice, clean, safe, great food, and good gift shops! We were able to visit a Maasai Village and that was a highlight. Our guide, David was a wonderful, capable guide and a good driver, navigating rugged roads and rain-swept terrain with confidence. Our vehicle was an old one, so there were a couple of times when we had to wait for the good graces of passing vehicles to get a jump-start. Furthermore, the drive times to each of the destinations were longer than described in the tour materials. Be that as it may, our group had a good time.

Three days safari with Suricata
The safari tour was well organised. All we agreed via WhatsApp with Hilary. He pickup us at the airport and drove us to the Jevas hotel, where we stayed the first night. The hotel was fine. Our guide was on time to pick up us in the early morning in the hotel. Then we passed pretty long way to Serengeti. However the roads are bumpy, it was not so bad, as the Jeep was comfortable and spacious. On our way we saw a lot of animals. Starting monkeys in the first camp, then all the other Serengeti animals, like giraffes, zebras, gazelles, big elephant, lions ... most of animals were in the Ngorongoro crater. It was great to see how they live all together in relative piece in such nice place. Our driver and guide was very knowledgeable about animals, nature and told us a lot of nice stories about the life there. He was taking really good care of us; like we were his children :) The nights in camps were very exciting; sleeping in tents with animals around; we met elephant, buffalo, zebra, hearing the hyenas and other animals in the night camp. In the camps were buildings with toilets and showers with warm water, simple kitchen and also building for serving meals. We really enjoyed our 3 days in wild Africa. The only bad impression was that there is already too many cars, that disturb animals in their daily life.
