Amazing safari experience which exceeded our expectations
From the start, communication with Alex was excellent. He was very flexible and patient about customizing our safari trip and always answered in a short time. Alex went above and beyond compared to the other tour companies we had contacted, providing us with pictures and a variety of options regarding lodging, truly making the booking experience clear and trustworthy. From our arrival to Kilimanjaro airport, to the various locations of our safari including Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and back to the airport for our journey home, we did not encounter any problems. Our guide Allen was great, very knowledgeable about all the animals and was able to answer all of our questions! He was also great at spotting animals from far away. I would recommend booking with Mama Savana for anyone looking for an amazing and memorable experience!

A wonderful safari experience that we will never forget!
Our trip started a bit bumpy because we missed our connecting flight in Nairobi. It was very advantageous that we were able to inform Alex about our delay by WhatsApp and thus in the middle of the night a driver waited for us at the airport and brought us safely to our accommodation. The next morning our private guide Allen picked us up for the first safari day. The jeep was exactly suitable for us 4 incl. Allen and our luggage. Allen is a very attentive and humorous guide, who entertained us well even on longer distances and answered all our questions. We were able to coordinate our daily routine with him during dinner and arrange it according to our wishes. We could discover and marvel at numerous animals and even had a "private leopard" at our tent camp, which we could admire from close range. We enjoyed the 8 days safari with Mama Savana very much, and are very grateful to Allen for his knowledge about humans and animals in Africa which he passed on to us, also by his jokes we quickly took him to our hearts. On our flight to Zanzibar unfortunately our luggage didn't come with us, Alex also tried to make sure that our luggage would be forwarded quickly. We recommend the trip with Mama Savana with pleasure.

Mama Savana has offered us a unique experience in one of the main wildlife destinations in the world
We spent 8 fantastic days with our guide Hassan starting from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Northern and Central Serengeti, Lake Natron and the Ngorongoro crater. We spot a lot of animals and experience many unforgettable moments. Hassan speaks very good English, he helped us to understand the dynamics of wildlife and fully enjoy our travel, teaching us a bit of Swahili, always with a smile and good energy. Thanks also to Alex for the accuracy in the organization, with the itinerary and the accommodations, the flexibility for last minute changes and the warm welcome at the amazing Arusha Coffee Lodge. Absolutely recommended, worth every single cent!

Perfect days!!
Already during the organization everything went perfectly: very friendly communication with Alex, always quick answer, responded to all my wishes and questions in a very friendly and helpful way.
When it started everything went perfectly from the first second on:
Our guide Gelasias picked us up punctually in our accommodation, we even had the great opportunity to get to know your team personally in your office in Arusha and off we went.
Gelasias was always extremely friendly, reliable and a safe driver. He was capable of answering all our questions about the animal world, but also about Tanzania itself. Thanks to him all our wishes regarding animal observations came true - and beyond that we were able to see and marvel at much more than we ever thought. He has always responded to our wishes, has made us further suggestions and made us an unforgettable time in Tanzania's dreamlike beautiful and impressive nature.
The Lodges County Lodge Karatu, Acacia Lodge and also the Tented Camp (Kati Kati) are outstandingly selected: Beautiful facilities, friendly staff and very good food.
We will never forget the experience of staying in a luxury tent in the heart of the Serengeti. The farewell song sung to us by the staff in the Acacia Lodge moved me to tears of joy: Happy to have such a wonderful experience and at the same time sad that it was already over.
We have experienced 4 wonderful days and are infinitely grateful for it.
We can only recommend a safari with Mama Savana to everyone: It was perfect!

Easy and friendly. We would use these again and have recommended our family to.
The safari was brilliant from start to finish. We were extremely well looked after. Our safari guide was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He somehow managed to get us into the right place at the right time. We would 100% recommend mama savana, especially Efraem. The accommodation was always brilliant.

Saved our Safari
Mama Savana managed to literally save our Safari. Beforehand we were cheated by another Safari company and were stranded in Nairobi. We had to book something fast if we wanted to continue our holiday. This is were Alex from Mama Savana comes in. We contacted the company via Safaribooking and Alex called us within an hour. He organised everything in less than a day and the next day we continued our Safari. We had a wonderful Safari with the Agency and our guide/driver Hassan was a gem, he respected the animals space and had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife. If we had an issue Alex would sort it out even after office hours. Mama Savana did let us forget our bad experience and created a great experience for us. Great Agency! The next time I am in Kenya/Tanzania I will definitely book with them again, Top Service.

Incredible safari - would definitely recommend!!!
We have just returned from a 5 day safari with Mama Savana. We had the most incredible experience!
Everything was so well organised from the start. The owner of Mama Savana (Alex) was really responsive via email and whatsapp, which made organising our itinerary very easy. Our itinerary was completely customised for us, working around our flight schedule and preferences for camps and national parks. Alex was very professional - meeting us upon arriving for a quick welcome breakfast, staying in touch throughout the safari and calling us at the end to wish us a safe onwards trip.
The safari itself did not disappoint; we couldn't have wished for a better driver. Amani has been doing safaris for Mama Savana for 7 years. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw, giving us just the right amount of information. We saw lions, cheetah, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, gazelle etc. To top it off, we even saw a river crossing as part of the great migration! Above all, Amani was very respectful of the wildlife (which is something we noticed some other drivers were not). Amani clearly takes pride in his job. He would get up early every morning to clean the jeep and was always punctual. We noticed other drivers asking him for advice on occasion. Water was free and the car had a battery in case phones or cameras ran out of power. The jeep was comfortable and Amani was a very safe driver.
We are still on a high from our trip - it was amazing! We would highly recommend Mama Savana Safaris for anyone looking to do a safari!
