Very good tour operator , flexible to our wishes , THANK You ALEX!!!
Thank You Alex and thanks to all 3 drivers we got during the jurney from Nairobi - Tanzania - again Kenya ( Mombassa) . It was fantastic experience to visit most important places / national parks and also some additional points we would like to visit . Alex from the beginning took care for our program , added some wishes from our site , even 2 days before end , we asked him to add small poins ( important for us , Polish historical point) - he did it !
Special thanks to Eli ( driver in Tanzania) for many very interesting stories about wildlife ... about our behaviours of animals . Even we were afraid in one place , where elephant came to us beeing 3-4 m away from us and roaring and showing who is the host here, no Eli reaction : he knew very well the situation . they came (elephants) from far away to us , we didn't move nothing since 20 minutes ... it was best experience and lesson from him . Thanks a lot Eli !

Very responsive, attentive and helpful.
We booked this tour late last year. Right from day 1, Alex was so responsive and helpful.
He gave us great options and made the booking easy. Once we reached Kenya, he received us at the airport and there was a guide with us the entire time that we were in Africa. The accommodations were comfortable, food choices were great and the safari experience was out of this world.
Cannot recommend them enough!

An unreal experience!
We had an incredible week on safari. We did a private 7 day tour through Kenya and Tanzania, including Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We stayed in tented camps and lodges.
Our guide Amani picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi and he absolutely made our trip. He was so knowledgeable, had so much excitement over the animals and our experience and was so funny. His English was perfect too which made our million questions easy for him to answer. He made sure to go out of his way to ensure we had a great time every step of the way.
We stopped in Lake Naivasha to do a boat trip to see the hippos on our way to Lake Nakuru. This was amazing! We loved it.
In Lake Nakuru we saw so so many animals including a baby rhino. The lodge we stayed at was really lovely.
In Masai Mara we saw everything we could imagine. Within 24 hours of our tour we had seen the big 5 which was so shocking.
Our accommodation there was great, we woke up to zebras outside our tent.
We saw so many baby animals including leopards and even had a wine while watching the sunset in the park.
We then went to the border from Kenya where we swapped cars and changed guides to Hassan for the Tanzania portion of our trip.
We headed into Serengeti where we saw less animals (probably due to migration and the sheer size of the park!) but still some incredible sightings including lion cubs.
We did a hot air balloon which was arranged by Mama Savana. This was such an incredible experience and included a full breakfast in the park afterwards.
We stayed in the park at a tented camp where we had hyenas close by which was so cool.
Moved along to Ngorongoro Crater which was very interesting and such a different landscape.
At the end of the tour we stayed at Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge which was just beautiful and a fabulous way to end the tour.
We then swapped to another driver who took us to Arusha to end the trip.
We had such an incredible time, the accommodation was always good, food was good and we always felt safe with our guides.
We will absolutely be recommending you guys to our friends and family, especially Amani!

Simply Amazing Wildlife, scenery, people, and experience!
This is our first time in Safari and my friend and I (two girls) went on 10 days Safari from Kenya to Tanzania with Mama Savana, and then ended the tour in Tanzania Arusha to fly off to Zanzibar ourselves.
The stays were all wonderful and high praises for all our tour guides from Kenya and Tanzania as they were amazing, well experienced, super good drivers (we thoroughly experienced African Massage while we were in the jeeps), and have such incredible eyes to spot animals! There were multiple times when they pointed to animals that we didn't notice, but thanks to that, we were able to catch all the big 5 & big cats + their babies, all of the antelope family, hyenas, jackals, and wart hogs (the list goes on) hidden or approaching from super far away, many eventually got close enough for some clear pictures through our phones.
Our Kenya tour guide, Amani, was just pure fun to be with, and knew the animals and area very well. He told us many fun facts about animals and we learned a lot while we were touring. He was also very dedicated for us to see the most of everything, and we managed to catch all big 5 and cheetahs while we were in Kenya! Our car once got stuck in a mud pit and Amani along with fellow tour guides in Maasai Mara worked as a team and got us out, me and my friend were not worried one bit since we knew they would be able to handle it (to be honest it was quite fun to watch).
Our Tanzania tour guide Abu (and Paul for the last day) was very knowledgeable too, and explained animal behaviors and migration patterns to us. He was very nice and patient throughout the trip,
This trip was purely incredible and many thanks to Mama Savana for bringing this amazing experience to us and taking care of us so well! I hope we could go to Kenya and Tanzania again soon since I am already missing it very much.

Ver professional and comfortable experience
We took the 7 days Safari from Kenia to Tanzania (Lake Nakuru, Masaai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). We booked the mid-range comfortable level and we were two women. We found the experience highly professional, very comfortable and valuable. In Kenia our driver was Kombo. He was quite knowledgable about the animals, the parks, the roads and of course, his culture. We had a lot of fun with him and we think he was extremely professional and helpful. He helped us claiming back some money that was extra charged for us in an optional activity. Kombo was super careful by having the car very clean and with enough gas every morning before starting our ride. He made sure that we had fresh drinks every day and took over the details of the trip. In Tanzania our driver was Elia. Also quite knowledgable, kind and professional. The lodges that we stayed in were really comfortable and nice. The food was good, we never had problems with its quality and we didnt really nee to bring extra snacks. Everyone was kind to us and we cannot recommend enough this company. We made contact with them through this website and then Alex contacted us with a quote via Email. We paid a part of it in advance via bank transfer and when we arrived to Nairobi (the starting point), we paid the rest. Advice: Bring cash, because if you pay via the link that they provide, it charges you an extra fee.

Our guide, Amani-san, was perfect in every way—time punctually, arrangements, and thoughtfulness
In a word, it was the best memory ever for me. Our guide, Amani-san, was professional and perfect.
True to his name (Amani means Peace in Swahili), thanks to him, I was always able to spend peaceful and enjoyable times. He was knowledgeable about animal ecosystems and had an amazing ability to spot animals. He never missed a meeting time and responded immediately whenever we encountered any issues.
We traveled on some quite rough roads in places like the Maasai Mara, but the vehicles were well-maintained and we completed the entire journey without any problems.
Mama Savana, Amani-san, you were truly the best.

Bucket List Adventure
From the start of arranging this trip to the arrival back home, Alex made everything so very easy for my Aunt and myself. We had three amazing drivers, Gona, Mustafa and Amani, all very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The vehicles were clean and well maintained, there was always water on offer and all accommodation was amazing with a combination of lodge and glamping. We got to see the Big 5 and more and our guides made sure they put a huge effort to ensure our trip was everything that was promised to us. This has been the holiday of a lifetime and our deepest thanks to Alex and all our guides for giving me a lifetime of wonderful memories. I highly recommend Mama Savana.
