Exceeded my expectations
The Mama Savana team was attentive and personal even before we got to TZ and that personal care and attention continued throughout the duration of our safari (2 couples). They booked excellent accommodations and were willing to personalize our experience as much as possible.
I must give a very special commendation to our guide, Allen. He went over and beyond his duty every single day and in no small way made this the most amazing travel experience we ever had. Allen had unbelievable intuition, and the fact that we saw all 5 of the big 5 was in no small part due to his abilities. He also communicated in English very well and taught us some Swahili words. He was fun to be around and in the end I think we all became friends.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and I would encourage everyone to book with this team. They exceeded my expectations.

Excellent organization and beautiful places
I make the premise that this is the only safari I've done until now. We traveled on private tour for two people for 6 days / 5 nights visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and Tarangire; overnight stays were in lodges and tented camps (Serengeti). Everything went well and we were able to see all the big five and lots of animals and beautiful places. The guide spoke Italian was very good and able to spot the various animals from afar.

Tremendous Safari Experience with an Amazing Guide
We had a wonderful experience with Mama Savana from start to finish of the trip. Allex was extremely helpful in designing our itinerary based on our needs and was more than willing to make adjustments to the itinerary to make sure the trip was exactly what we wanted. His communication was excellent as he quickly responded to any questions we had and any itinerary specifications we wanted. Throughout the entire planning process he was extremely accessible and understanding.
The trip experience itself was beyond amazing. It is hard to put into words how wonderful each and every part of the safari was and this was made even better with the absolutely amazing guide we had - Allen. Allen knew so much about all of the animals, helped make sure we had the best photos and even took some himself to make sure we not only captured the moments on camera but also truly experienced the moments. There was never a dull moment in the car between seeing hundreds if not thousands of animals as well as the laughter that was provided by Allen throughout the drive. Every place we stayed was extremely accommodating, had delicious food and the service was excellent.
We would highly recommend anyone looking to take a safari to go with Mama Savana as it truly felt like a family experience. This trip built memories that would last a lifetime with a group of people who ensured we had the best time possible.

Dream Vacation
We booked the 7-Day Tanzania Lodge and Tented Safari through the Safari Bookings website (Mama Savana does offer many more safari options on their website). We were pleased from start to finish. Alex responded to my inquiry promptly and answered all of my many follow up questions quickly and professionally! Upon arrival we were picked up by Harun, who was friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding area, but was also understanding that we were very tired from a long flight. Allen was our guide for the rest of the trip and I truly couldn't suggest anyone better. He is extremely attentive and intuitively understands what clients need. He is knowledgeable about the animals, parks, photo taking, and life in general. He is very funny, and most important of all, kind. Many times he offered help or directions to other drivers, which gave us a good impression of him and the company. In addition to this, he has a great eye for the animals, of course, and we saw so many more wonderful landscapes and critters than we could have dreamed. All of our accommodation was wonderful, we especially loved Sangaiwe and the Kati Kati Camp (although we did wish the lodges and camps had some local Tanzanian food!) Allen and Mama Savana made our trip the vacation of a life time, and we couldn't be more happy!
