5 Years of tours with Savannah and still can't fault them!
As part of a project I run I have been taking groups to Tanzania since 2008 and have always relied on Savannah Tours for all our transport and accommodation throughout. The groups have ranged from 7 - 27 people of differing ages from all over the world and who forward to a taste of life in Tanzania. All arrangements from pick up at the airport, travel and accommodation all over the country, including safaris, beach breaks and the visit to the school which is the subject of my Project, are undertaken by Savannah. Their friendly and efficient staff go out of their way to make everything perfect and their drivers cannot be faulted for their care and attention. I cannot recommend them highly enough and you will not be disappointed by choosing them for your safari or tour.

Cannot fault them - attention to detail was perfect and our guides truly excellent.
Have nothing but praise for the company - simply no issue, if we come again Savannah will be our first choice without doubt.

The Trip of a Lifetime
Our guide was totally amazing -- I think he knew every bird, reptile, and mammal in the parks. He clearly had lots of experience and an incredible gut instinct for where to be. The food and the accommodations went beyond my expectations. I don't know how the chefs managed to whip up such wonderful meals when we were often in the middle of nothing. Finally, Savannah Tours made everything smooth. When one of our flights was cancelled, they booked a day room at a hotel. We really had no worries (Hakuna Matata as they say)

9 day safari in Mikumi, Ruaha, and Selous National Parks in Tanzania with 4x4 and driver-guide
Two middle-aged couples from Europe. We had high expectations on wildlife sightseeing. The safari (9 days / 8 nights in the parks) met our expectations in terms of diversity, intensity, number of animals seen and of animal species encountered. Our driver-guide Afrael Ngoilale had a huge knowledge about the places we visited, the ecosystem, the animals, and their habits. His everlasting energy to show and explain new things, his availability towards our requests, and his friendly and attentive behavior kept us motivated and interested along the whole trip. Beautiful safari. We recommend it.

Personalized tour with excellent guide, informative, welcoming and experienced.
We planned a 12 day safari and were extremely pleased with the services Savannah Tours provided. They were there to pick us up at the airport and stayed with us every step of the way until we headed back on to our flight for home. Our tour consisted off visits to Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Eyasi before heading over to Zanzibar and Stone town. The lodgings they recommended met or exceeded our expectations, and the pace of the tour with some lodges between our tented camps worked out very well. The staff at the camps were very attentive and helpful (we always felt safe even with elephants in the back yard), the food was excellent and the beds comfortable. Our photo safari was wonderful, we saw the big five plus so very much more. Our guide, Omari, seemed to have inside information about when that rhino would be in the neighborhood and when to wait and give the lions time to get up from their nap and hunt. How he could drive on those bumpy roads and still spot the animals is amazing (and shows how having an experienced guide makes all the difference). He had a bird book handy so was able to identify every bird our group spotted and was willing to stop for all of them. And when we excitedly pointed out "sightings", which frequently were only brush or such, he never made us feel silly. The visit to Stone Town helped us begin the return to an urban setting; and when flight changes gave us a long layover in Dar es Salaam the folks at Savannah Tours (at their own expense) reserved a day room at a lovely hotel so we could have a place to spend the time while waiting for our departure flight. It was an expensive vacation but we felt the money was well spent and will never forget this once in a lifetime experience and the folks who helped make it a success, Savannah Tours Limited.

If you want the best - choose Savannah
I take a group to Tanzania each year as I run a Project there. We have travelled extensively in Tanzania and Savannah have looked after us on every occasion. I cannot fault their attention to detail and their care and consideration is exemplary. Their drivers are reliable, friendly and caring. Their knowledge of wildlife and the ways of the country are second to none.
I cannot recommend Savannah highly enough.

Always flawless
This was my second trip with Savannah Tours and was amazing. Communication during planning and my trip was first class. The drivers were polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Traveled all over the country and from the beach trip, safari and airport transfers everything was worth every penny and a good value. For the part of my trip it was just my mom and I, and being two woman in a foreign country we felt safe the entire time. We saved for this trip for 2 years and don't regret going with Savannah Tours at all, money well spent for a trip of a lifetime.
