Great tour with Mama Savana
We did a 7 day Safari in september 2016 with Mama Savana. It was a great experience and an amazing trip.
First of all we arrived at Kilimandscharo Airport on monday 12th september. The director of Mama Savana picked up at the airport and dropped off at McAlley's Hotel in Arusha. On Tuesday we had a free day and walked around in Arusha.
On Wednesday our guide picked up at McAlley's Hotel for starting the Safari. Our first national park was the Tarangire. It was nice first tour with a lot of elephants, zebras, girafe, pelican and a big snake. On Wednesday night we went to the Sangaiwe tented Lodge close to the park. The lodge was pretty nice with amazing view and really amazing tents. Thursday morning the trip ahead to the Lake Manyara. In the night we were at the Olea Africian Lodge. In this Lodge the dinner was excellent. Friday the tour went to the Ngorongoro park. The view of the crater in the morning was amazing. In the crater are a lot of different animals (hippos, lions, buffalo, wildbeast, one rhino etc.). Friday afternoon we drove further to the Serengeti park (round 3 hours) and spent the night in the Mbugani tented lodge. This tented are in the center of the serengeti park at a small river. In the night you can hear the lions and buffalos who coming to the river. A great experience. We stayed here for two nights. Sunday afternoon we went to the Akazia Farm lodge. This lodge was the best of all. Great service with a great view.
Monday morning we went back to Arusha. Our guide dropped off at cafe close to Arusha and we had one last coffee together. Afterwards the director drove us to the airport.
Summit:
Our guide Allen was always capable and took care of us. He was really funny =). He shown us all big five and many more.
The food and provisions in the lodges and the lunch pakets were always top.
All lodges were comfortable and very clean and the staff ´was always friendly.
Great tour. Great experience. Great people. Great nature. Amazing animals.

More than expected. Great tour better guide.
The tour was amazing but what made It unique was the guide Allen. His experience in founding every animal and his ability to make us feel very confortable all the time were incredible. We Hope to do It again (with him obviously)
Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti
Our safari was a great experience starting at Lake Manyara and an amazing surprise after dinner at Olea Africana! Who expected singing staff, acrobatic dancers and a honeymoon cake:-D Then we headed to Ngorongoro crater with our always friendly, patient, funny and well educated driver and guide Allan! The crater itself is a unique encapsulated habitat for many many animals where we also saw our first lions. The track to Serengeti National Park is pretty rough but worth every penny! We were situated in Mbugani tented camp where we enjoyed elephants at breakfast and moaning lions at night - totally fascinating. The spot was marvellous and the food delicious. Allan truly offered us a lot of opportunities and we've just been lucky to see nearly any animal possible apart from rhino but hakuna matata;-) The last stay at Acacia Farm Lodge was also spot on, very friendly staff and another special surprises for us! So finally we would definitely recommend Mama Savanna for getting a great safari with personal touch!

Amazing service, caring staff from start to finish!
From booking to the completion of our safari, everything was handled. The staff was knowledgeable and shared with us about the location and history. From day 1 we were picked up expediently and our safari began. The staff handled all accommodations and tours. The accommodations were breathtaking and worth every second. They presented every animal imaginable and provided numerous stops to enjoy the local culture. I will absolutely and recommend to anyone to book with Mama Savana Safaris. There is no company better to provide the level of service expected!

Excellent
Very good communications, simple e-mail contact for Safari, pricing and payments definition and other remote activities.
It is easy to find the best Safari for everyone; Mamasavana is willing to manage custom Safaris defined with the client.
Very good fleet and organization, absolutely reliable.
In my case the guide, very empathic and cheerful, was able to speak multiple languages.
Final risult better than expected.

Excellent experience with tour organizing in Tanzania with Mama Savana
This July and August we went with our two girls (12 and 15 years) to Tanzania. Alex from Mama Savana organized an individual family tour for us. Our tour included Dar es Salaam, Selous Game Resourt, Stone Town, Beach in Zanzibar and back to Dar es Salaam. All the transfers worked fine, the Logdes and hotels he picked for us, werde excellent and we felt very safe and in very good hands. We had wonderful and interesting experience with all people we met through Mama Savana. Alex was always atainable and made sure our tour went according to the plan. We are very happy picked Mama Savana and would highly recommed it to everybody who seeks individual tours.

Professional and excellent tour operator!
Our experience with mamasavana is very positive. The service level is very high. Every detail small or big mamasavana made our vacation to the best. The first contact took place with John which gave us detailed information about the safari tours and helped us decide which period suits us best to go. So John thank you so much for everything and administrative tasks before our trip. The guide we had, Allen, was a perfect guide with a lot of experience and so much knowledge about the environment. We had so much fun during the time we spent together. Thank you for all the laughs! We will miss you!
And Alex thanks a lot to you too! The dinner last night will be unforgettable!
I can from my heart recommend mamasavana to anyone thinking of going on a safari trip.

great tour with lots of tayloring to our wishes
We are a family of 4 and stayed for vacation in Tanzania for 18 days. Pick-ups from airports and hotels were always on time and as expected and drivers and guides had good English skills and could explain a lot about the country and its wildlife and plants. The 3 days game drive in Selous was the deepest impression. Mansoor did a great job in driving, finding animals even Eland antilopes and told us a lot about Africas mamals but also about birds and plants. The first day in our lunch break an elephant went direct in our direction but turned slightly 100m away but this was a little bit scarry since we already were ready to get all food back in the car and interrupt our lunch but Mansoor stayed calm but observed the animal very good and concluded there is no need for action and he was right. So this became one of the most impressive events but also lions with a giraffe what they got just shortly before we found them. Lodge pick in Selous and hotel choice in Dar and in Stonetown met our expectations as well and communication before travel and during an interruption due to a self organized beach stay was working excellent by whats app and even after our arrival back in Germany we were still chatting a bit. Thanks Alex and Leina for organizing everything very well. We looking forward to met you in Germany when you come to Berlin for ITB- all in all we highly recommend Mama Savana

Absolutely awesome tour enjoyed every second as honeymooners!
Our safari lasted 8 days. We travelled a lot (Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti) and slept in 4 different accommodations. Every single accommodation was superb and the time schedule was well thougt. We enjoyed the most the accommodation in central Serengeti. It was a tented lodge with an awesome location, delicious food, very clean and friendly service! As honeymooners they even arranged a candle light dinner at the fire place. But all accommodations were better than expected! There is nothing to complain about. The car was clean, had a fridge and did its job very good.
We saw all " big 5". The guide knew everything by heart and headed to every spot being the first. We were almost every time the first guys to see a spectacular scene. e.g. 2 lions going to a big stone and coming out with 4 baby lions. 5 min after our arrival there came 30 cars to watch this scene...even on 1 day a car arrived at 8 pm saying that they could not find their camp in the darkness - our guide drove them to their camp. Allen was unique and we felt like being a little family in this week we laughed a lot this guy was just awesome.
To sum up. We cannot complain about anything. We can definitely recommend mamasavana 100%!!
Alex and Allen - Thank you so much for our great and unforgettable honeymoon. We will keep in touch and hopefully see again soon :)
