Simply the best
The team at Savannah Explorers made my safari an unforgettable experience. Albert, who did the booking, was extremely responsive to my needs and requests, and very prompt in his replies. James Zakaria, our driver and safari expert, went above and beyond in making sure we experienced the best there was, from the animals we saw in the parks (Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti). However, the best part for me was that they were able to put together a safari that accommodated my needs for gluten-free foods. People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease are reluctant to travel fearing there will be no "safe" foods. However, the chefs at Marera View Lodge and Bush Camp went out of their way to make sure my food choices were gluten-free, including box lunches every day. Without everyone's help in this need, I would have missed out on what was an experience I'll never forget.

Helpful and always on time
We were on a two-day trip to Mikumi National Park. The first day we were on Safari. The second day we visited Udzungwa mountain. The safari can not compete with the large national parks in terms of wildlife and lushness, but Mikumi was very intimate - we were allowed to drive the safari car ourselves some of the way and we had to get out of the car when it was safe and get close to the peaceful animals.
We stayed at Simanga Lodge. Nothing fancy and sparse with space, but there was air conditioning and we stayed relatively little in the room, so that was fine enough. We ate at Camp Bastian, which is not the same place to stay overnight - the food was really good compared to what we have otherwise experienced in Tanzania.
All in all, a nice trip and Lenard was helpful with small issues that arose along the way. So if you are in Dar Es Salaam, and do not have the time / profit / desire for the big popular Safari places in Arusha, then Mikumi National Park can definitely do something too.

Caring of all the travellers' needs and very professional
Lenchada Safaris exceeded our expectations for our 3 days/2 nights safari in Amboseli National Park!! Alex was very professional in planning and explaining all the details. He tailored the experience to all our needs and provided timely information whenever we had doubts or new requests. Isaac the Safari guide was awesome!!! He was on time, knowledgeable about every aspect (animals, local culture) and he was very patient every time we wanted to take pictures or spend time watching the animals and the scenery. Congratulations to Lenchada for such an excelent service and I would recommend it 100% for those who wish to experience a Safari withouth spending a fortune and having no surprises.

Some great moment in Tanzania with safaris and tours in Uganda.
We had an incredible experience with Edrisa. He answered all our emails and whatsApp messages.
Sometimes you need to enjoy the real beauty from your hectic time and Tanzania is something which will fulfill all your desire because that is the best place I have ever seen in my life. Highly recommending them to all travel lovers.

Incredible Experience
We did a 7-day Kilimanjaro trek and had an amazing time. Lazaro and Ezekiel were our guides on the mountain. They are highly experienced with hundreds of trips on the mountain and have an amazing track record. They have good English and communication was very easy with them. They guided us through the entire process, answering questions and looking out for our comfort and safety the whole way. In our long conversations with the guides, we also learned a lot about Tanzanian culture and customs. By the end of it, Lazaro and Ezekiel became our friends and not just our hired guides. We were really impressed with our whole team of guides, cooks, and porters who all went above and beyond to ensure a great experience for us. The food on the mountain, and the equipment (tents, mess tent, chairs) all exceeded our expectations.

If you want a true and unique experience, Doug Macdonald's Safaris to Africa is the right choice!
We have travelled with Doug MacDonald's Safaris to Africa, since 2017, and we cannot recommend it more. We have been to national parks and reserves in Zimbabwe (2017 - Victoria Falls and Mana Pools NP), Tanzania (2018 - Ngorongoro GR, Lake Natron and Serengueti NP), Kenya (2020 - Samburu NP, Laikipia and Masai Mara GR), Botswana (2021 - twice - Nxai Pan, Central Kalahari NR, Moremi GR and Chobe NP/Savuti) and we have everything ready for our third trip to Ethiopia, hopefully in the beginning of 2022 (Bale Mountains NP).
Doug is able to plan your safari to fit your needs, and gets you to great places, great accomodation and, most importantly for us, great safari guides. Our experiences have been unforgettable and absolutely unique. The communication is always very easy, and we can trust the service he provides - reliability is also key for us.
We haven't had the pleasure to be guided by Doug himself, though, but we're pretty sure that we'll have that opportunity in the future - already planning to go to Tchad, Zambia and Zimbabwe once again (Gonarezhou NP this time).
If you want an unforgettable safari experience, then Doug MacDonald's Safaris to Africa is the right choice.

5 star services!
After travelling to various African wildlife parks during the last 15 years (my hobby is wildlife photography), certainly the trip to Mana Pools was among the most exciting. And this, not only because of the place, which is indeed magical, but also because of our great host, Ant Bown! His hints, suggested itinerary, cosy lodge and very friendly personnel made our experience just perfect. Highly highly recommended!
