Impeccable journey through wildlife.
A group of families explored Kenya and Tanzania with seamless care from Alex, witnessing the Big Five, flamingos, cheetahs, and the Great Wildebeest Migration. Cultural encounters with the Maasai, beautiful lodges, and patient guides made this trip an unforgettable blend of adventure, comfort, and heartwarming hospitality.

good ，but not excellent
when I and my friend in Tanzania,everything is perfect, especially our guide Eric is very friendly and pleasant,but when we on Kenya,the car is not good for safari,I can’t see the view through windscreen,and the car is beat-up.I requested to change the car，but Alex told me there are last 1day，I should be patient，in fact ，we still had 3days.
The driver wasted a lot of time by going around a long way, but in fact, as long as he passed through the Masai Mara Park, he could save a lot of time and enjoy the scenery.

Very polite, passionate, helpful, timely and knowledgable
Hassan was an amazing tour guide & person and he really made the safari leg of our trip very special. He was always very polite, passionate, helpful and knowledgable; the only occasion where he didn't know something he found out the answer by looking into his book for a specie's birds name. He is a real credit to the company & country and we cannot praise him enough. Thanks once again to him, I would highly recommend going on a tour with him if possible to anyone else who is thinking of going on a safari around the Serengeti

Trustworthy
是值得信赖的一家safari地接. We did a 14-day safari with Mama Savana that covered both Kenya and Tanzania. We had 4 guides in total, they were all super nice. 2 guides really stood out. Erick, he's young, funny and fun, we spent the most days with him in Tanzania, there was never a dull moment with him, and we saw lots of animals because he was able to locate the animals fast. And Amani in Kenya, he's very professional, very knowledgeable of the animals. He loves to share his knowledge of the animals which I loved to hear every time when we spotted a different animal. And he's very punctual and serious with his work so he would organize your daily activities very diligently. I also have to thank the owner Alex's hospitality. When he learned that I was visiting Malindi after the safari, he welcomed me by sending an employee to pick me up at the Malindi airport and drove around the town to show me around and took me for dinner. I really appreciated their hospitality. So ya, you can totally trust Mama Savana with your safari trip. (Just one small complaint, that we didn't like the Safari car in our last few days in Kenya. It's an older model and the condition wasn't great. And it had a smaller windshield in the front so there's no way for us to see any animals sitting at the back, that means, every time if we wanted to see something, we had to stand up to see thru the pop-up, which can be quite inconvenient (especially during bumpy drives). Everything else was great. I had a good time.

Our Safari with Isaya from Mama Savana was a fantastic experience. Highly r
We bought this tour vis Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris as we initially looked into a tour covering both Mara and Serengeti. Mama Savana was the tour operator during the full trip as we ended up prioritizing Serengeti/Tanzania.
We had great and very responsive communication with Betty from Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari during the planning of the tour. And prior to tour start we also had a brief but comforting phone call with Alex from Mama Savana.
Despite the great Trip advisor reviews (the reason for initiating dialogue) I was still a bit nervous of booking directly with a smaller local company. But absolutely no need to be concerned. We got name and contact info to our guide before our trip started and when we landed in the small airstrip of Kogatende, Isaya was there to greet us and the adventure began. Isaya is a highly experienced guide who both knows his way around and is well connected in the guide community. And has talent and trained eyes to spot where to go next to get fantastic views. No wonder he has been guide for animal photographers.
We benefited from this numerous times: from our front row position witnessing a crossing to the time we were surrounded by a big group of passing elephants - and they did not mind us because the car was placed in the right spot with engine off well in advance of the elephants reaching the game drive road - and to the many close up encounters with the lions, leopard, cheetahs and their cubs. We appreciated he was attentive to giving us great experiences while paying attention to the animals’ needs as well.
The car was well kept and equipped with AC and a fridge to keep beverages cold. Isaya also had great binoculars we used alongside our own to get close up views (and photos).
A single small advice is to walk through the itenary with the guide up front - we had a brief confusion on duration of our stay in Serengeti - maybe due to booking via Perfect Safari but operated by Mama Savana. But easily sorted as soon as we realized cause of the confusion.
Five star to both Perfect Wilderness Tours & Safari, Mama Savana and our great Guide Isaya.
