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 :)

Safe, reliable and trustworthy. Overall, had a wonderful safari experience.
We have just finished our 6 nights / 7-day Tanzanian safari with Mama Savana. Our first point of contact was with Alex, the owner of Mama Savana who was extremely efficient in responding to our initial queries and very accommodating to the changes we wanted. We arrived at JRO Airport and was welcomed by Issa (a young lad with a brilliant smile); our transfer driver who took us straight to Arusha Planet Lodge; a lush green resort. Alex was also there to welcome us, and he briefed us on the safari itinerary, which was extremely thoughtful. From day 2 onwards, we were entrusted with Hassan, who we spent most of the time with visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Hassan is very passionate about his job, having extremely sharp eyes and good communication skills when it comes to spotting wildlife and explaining about them. We saw all the of the big5 including the elusive leopard and the shy Black rhino. He ensured our safety at all times and nowhere was it compromised at all. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mama Savana for their professionalism and service.

Perfect and fully professional organization, definitely to be recommended
Our 5-day tour was very well planned and executed. All the lodges and the tour were in accordance with the offer, and we actually got a complimentary upgrade of one of camps which was a great surprise. Everything was greatly taken care of, from the process of the reservation until the last moment of safari. Alex has been super responsive via whatsapp and we were amazed that during our trip he has been contacting lodges himself to check all the details of our stay, our lunch packages etc. But the greatest part of safari was our guide Ellie who took the best care of us. He was very communicative, spoke perfect English, spotted all the animals instantly, made us feel safe and taken care of. And he also explained to us the complicated life on savanna. It was a great experience the whole safari and we are thankful to Mama Savana to make it so special.

Sensational Serengeti
From the very beginning this was a dream holiday! Alex responded instantly and helped curate an incredible itinerary, with valuable insights into where to stay, budget and what to expect. We chose mid-level price options which included full board and were blown away by just how amazing these were once we hit Tanzanian soil!
Harun our guide was super knowledgeable and hospitable, adding a personal touch to really make it feel like a trip with a friend. There are many safari companies and I’m sure they are all great, but Mama Savana really are well respected and know their business, namely offering a personalised and luxurious experience witnessing the greatest spectacle, the African bush!!
We saw the big 5, countless herds of elephant, prides of lion right up close as well as on the hunt for their prey. Harun guided us and taught us so much we felt connected to each animal. Serengeti and the Crater were highlights and will be memories for life - this was truly an epic holiday and something I will definitely do again one day!!
Thanks Mama Savana for everything. Hakuna Matata
