Safari Tanzania
An unforgettable safari with guide Muksini! His knowledge of the animals and local history was exceptional, making every encounter truly special. Muksini was always attentive to our needs and made the experience even more engaging, supported by the fantastic James, who led the tour with professionalism. The only flaw was the comfort of our Jeep: it lacked a headrest and the seatback didn't recline, while other vehicles in the group were better equipped. Despite this, the safari was exciting and fascinating. We highly recommend Muksini as your guide for a five-star experience!
I recommend not using the car they gave us, as it had problems with the headlights, they had to add water to the engine twice, and the seats were unpadded and had no headrests, making them extremely uncomfortable for a long safari.

Savannah Explorers took care of us, and every detail from the time we arrived to the time we left.
It was sincerely, the trip of a lifetime for myself, partner and my two adult kids! Micky curated our trip to perfection and our tour guide, Juma, executed it to perfection. He was very on point and knowledgeable about the area, culture, animals and birds. He took his work very seriously and made sure our expectations were met. I have the utmost respect for him and could not have been happier with his dedication and commitment to ensuring we were safe and well cared for.
We began our trip in Arusha, where Juma walked us through Arusha Center Market and to the Arusha Wisdom Training College which set the stage for understanding just how welcoming and friendly the Tanzanian people are and what a day in the life may look like. Day one we had a brief meeting with Juma about what we hoped to gain and experience from our trip. We were there for 2 weeks and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Northern and Central Serengeti, Lake Natron and Zanzibar. Each accommodation, the lodges and tented camps, were exceptional and accommodating. They were better than what we would experience in the States, in my opinion. I highly recommend the hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, that was indescribable. We didn't see Rhino and a Leopard but was very happy with all we did see. Another reason to return:).
We did not change any money, we were equipped with plenty of low denomination US $$ and had zero issues. Just make sure the dollars are crisp with no frayed edges. The long transfers could be a bit harrowing on the unpaved rough roads and dust but Juma made sure we would travel when we would encounter less traffic. We did not encounter any mosquitos and the weather could not have been better. We did not request luxury travel but that is what it seemed we experienced. My critical feedback would be to reduce plastic waste by having the operator supply filtered water in 5 gallon jugs instead of the single use plastic water bottles and reduce food waste by supplying smaller lunches.
I am happy we experienced all of the above which allowed me to decide where I would spend the bulk of my time the next time around.
Thank you Savannah Explorers!!

All perfect
We made a tremendous safari in Tanzania, visiting all main national parks. Our guide was excellent (professional, patient, very good driver) and let us see in deep the beautiful of all. The car was in perfect conditions and lodges/ tended camps were very good (especially the ones in Serengeti, very fascinating). Thanks to all people behind this organization, truly reliable!
Perfectly organized
They entrusted us with Chui, our guide for 10 days. He showed us areas that the others didn't know, always available, friendly. But above all, knowledgeable about everything: animals, places, roads, everything. The lodges were of the highest quality (pity about the one on Lake Natron which was a huge flaw). All the others had hospitality, food, spaces and services that had nothing to envy of hotels in the metropolis, but in the middle of the savannah. I don't know what the other tours are like, but in 10 days no problems, no delays. I recommend them 100%.
Precise, professional, kind and always available.
We had an incredible experience, Tanzania is the heart of Africa and we were able to feel it. Being able to witness animals in their natural habitat and seeing the way of living of different villages so up close was wonderful. The people are open and welcoming. Our guide, Steven, explained us everything we had to know and we are really thankful that we had the chance to meet him.

Excellent tour operator and excellent guide
The Safari was perfect, everything very well planned and executed. The guide was exceptional, he spent a lot of time with us explaining all details about the animals and their live. He was nice and always available to help and to stay with us until late in the afternoon.

They provide well tailored, well organized, well communicated trip
We had incredible 10days private trip through this operator. We saw quite angry rhino very closely in Ngorongoro crater! Our guide, Kwiku, is best guide I've ever met. He treated us as guest not just customer. his excellent knowledge about wildlife made us feel wildlife more deeply. We saw many aspects of wildlife with his thoughtful explanation. Thanks to Kwiku, we found all of Big 5 animals in close view, besides other so many interesting animals very safely.
Our Director, Sultan, is professional. He communicated with us very thoughtfully and quickly. He admitted all our requests about this trip. It made our days.
Even though the food, which was provided throughout trip, has some up and down quailty, we are definitely pleased with our wildlife experience through this tour operator. It was unforgettable trip.
