Easy booking, very responsive, best tour guide ever!
Wow- what a tripl We booked a trip to Serengeti with Safari soles and had the most amazing time! We went on a two night, three day trip and were lucky enough to get the best guide, Noel. Our booking started with Julieth, who was super patient and impressively responsive to all my questions! Then we arrived on site and met Noel- he really made the trip memorable for our family! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, patient, super fun and we were able to see so many animals in the safari. My kids, 9 and 13, asked questions the whole time and they learned so much!!! Noel was able to show us over 25 animals including the hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants and some of them quite close up! When trying to book a tour- it’s hard to know which company is great. From the booking to pickup to arrival back and the most amazing tour guide ever- we were very fortunate and would highly recommend this tour! Thank you to Safari Soles and thank you to Noel for showing us the most exhilarating experience!

Wonderfull experience!
Our experience with Savannah Explorers was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations.
We travelled as a couple and explored some of the most incredible places in Tanzania, including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without ever having to worry about the logistics.
We were particularly impressed by the accommodations and by the warm hospitality of the staff at the lodges belonging to the Orangi Collection. The properties were beautiful, welcoming and spotlessly clean, and the staff were always kind, attentive and genuinely welcoming.
Our safari experience was simply unforgettable. Being surrounded by such breathtaking landscapes and witnessing Tanzania’s incredible wildlife up close was a truly magical adventure. A special mention goes to our guide, Tarta, who was absolutely fantastic. He spoke excellent Italian, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was always attentive to our wishes and interests. He did everything possible to make the experience special, adapting the itinerary and activities to what we wanted and making sure all our expectations were met.
We also felt that the price we paid was very fair for the quality and variety of the experience we received. Considering the organisation, the accommodations, the level of service, the private guiding and the incredible places and experiences included in the trip, we found the overall value for money to be excellent.
Thanks to the professionalism, kindness and passion of everyone involved, our trip became even more memorable and gave us moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.
We highly recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone looking for a serious, reliable and professional company to discover Tanzania. Everything was handled with great care, from the planning and accommodations to the safari itself and the people who accompanied us throughout the journey.
Thank you, Savannah Explorers, for making our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable.

Very cool.
We did the 4 days safari. From Dar es Salaam to Nyere National Park, Driving to Mikumi Parc, back to Dar Es salaam. It was a very special experience. Something we never forget. We met the amazing Gladness and Abed. Gladness was our very professional and kind guide, she know a lot about flora and fauna and we learnt a lot from her about the nature and animals. Abed was our driver, very calm and nice energy, the sweetest guy. Couple of tips before you go: Snacks are limited as in, no snacks. if you want to bring little snacks you should. Be aware of long driving hours. You will be all day in the car. If you drive to the other parc, it will be much longer. Maybe best to pick 1 parc. Also remember, you are not in Europe or America, the cars aren't up to those standards, these are cars that have to go everyday on wobbly roads. So please be ready to shake around haha. Daude is very communicative and you will get an update everyday about your schedule. Thank you for this experience.

Excelent from the beginning to the end!
We had a fantastic 3 day Masai Mara journey. Our guide Kaisaine was just the best: very friendly and with an incredible knowledge of the area. We saw all big 5 more than once. Highly recommend.

An absolutly exceptional trip
Tanzania showed us its very best side: dreamlike wildlife and nature, breathtaking landscapes, and friendly, welcoming people who shared their customs with us. It was an unmatched blend of nature and culture that will be hard to beat. This magnificent experience was only possible thanks to the excellent work of our guide-hosts, Denis and Daniel—they make a perfect team! Congratulations to both of you for your great professionalism and for giving us this gift of a lifetime. And a huge thank you to Ozon Light Tours, and especially to Letson, for making it all happen! The organization was absolutely perfect!

Friendly and forthcoming, responded immediately
We thought carefully about how many stars to give, and it was a tough decision. We booked an 8-day safari, and the experience we had was quite mixed. Our operator was great, mostly responded immediately, and was very friendly and forthcoming!
However, we repeatedly had issues with the car we used to travel to the Serengeti, which cost us a lot of time. I know that breakdowns happen often and that the roads are bumpy, but this jeep had more than 500,000 kilometers on it, and I think it’s time to replace it. The experience also depended a lot on which guide we had each day. They ranged from super motivated, knowledgeable, and engaging to catastrophic, barely talking to us at all.
We had a really great cook. The food was delicious, and for some reason, he was the one who gave us the most reliable information.
When going on a safari, I think it’s important to keep in mind that things simply work differently in Africa. Most likely, the safari will involve quite a lot of waiting because “African time” is different. I think it’s part of the experience that not everything goes exactly as planned.
We saw all of the Big Five, and even got to see some of them up close, and that’s what matters.
Honestly, I think you can be lucky or unlucky, no matter which safari provider you choose.
Overall, we had a great time and came home with some good stories to tell!

great trip, excellent responsive service
This was a really great trip. 2 day safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire and Ngorogoro crater.
Everything was organised really well by Brian who was always incredibly responsive and flexible throughout.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nungwi early (4.30am) and taken to Zanzibar airport for transfer to Arusha. We were then picked up and transferred to the safari jeep and taken to Tarangire, where we saw elephants, lions, zebras, buffalo, meerkats, warthogs, wildebeest and a very curious giraffe all very close up.
Our guides Omar and Alex were excellent.
Our second day was at the Ngorogoro crater and felt a quite different - but equally special - experience with it being a vast plain. We even managed to see Rhino, a (failed!) lion attack on a zebra herd, hippos, coyotes, flamingos and so many other big animals all living together.
Our flight back was at 8.30 from Kilimanjaro airport and we got to the hotel for 11pm safaris didn't feel rushed despite the long travel distances

Like a best friends
We communicated via messages. First of all, their replies were incredibly fast. Because of this, I was always able to quickly resolve any anxieties or questions I had. I was worried about when they ever got any rest. And they were always there for me, supporting me. It was such a kind and warm response, as if we were friends. And it wasn't just one person; I interacted with two people, and both were equally warm and helpful.

Wonderful!
The safari was wonderful.
Clear communication, efficient transfers, and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our guide made sure we saw all the main animals in the park.
Highly recommended!
