An all round brilliant experience to never forget, absolutely flawless.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour operator, from the very beginning to the very end, everything was absolutely flawless and a brilliant experience. I would not go elsewhere.
The start:
The team excelled from the beginning, with Alex's communication being absolutely excellent, offering opinions on different services, entering the country and advice from transfers. He made things incredibly easy to organise from abroad and really set the standard high. I would also like to thank Alex and the team for arranging Isaac (our transfer driver) to complete multiple transfers on arrival. Isaac was absolutely brilliant, friendly, kind and enthusiastic. We were in a party of three, arriving across two flights. Unfortunately, one of our flights were delayed. Thanks to the team, Isaac collected two of the party from the airport and drove into town (a three hour round trip). He then returned to the airport, at 2am, to complete another round trip. This saw one of the party arrive to the hotel at 3.30am. Even at this time in the morning, Isaac was absolutely brilliant, the three of us can not say enough good things about him during the short time we shared together, thank you Isaac, we hope one day you'll have your own tour car, you'll make a great guide!
This set a great outlook for the trip, without the second transfer in the early morning, it would have been a difficult feat to make the 90 minute drive to town at 2am. This highlighted the customer focus of the team, not being out for a cash grab. Once again, thanks to Alex and Isaac for arranging this.
The tour:
We had an absolutely amazing tour guide (Arhoom) who once again, we can not say enough about, he was terrific. His knowledge on all of the areas history and landscapes was terrific. His knowledge on the animals, their habits and behaviours was critical in knowing the right time to be at the right place, to see the right thing. Thanks to him, we had an absolute brilliant experience, we were able to see far more than we had anticipated. Arhoom's quality as a guide was clear, he was more than often the first guide to find anything, with other guides taking his lead to have other visitors share our experiences. Thankyou very much my friend, the experience you gave us will not be forgotten.
The accommodation:
Wow. The accommodation we stayed at was all absolutely amazing. Every hotel had the most magnificent of landscapes with the most wonderful staff. From the wait staff to the room staff, everyone was incredibly kind and offered incredible service. We were incredibly happy with the food and service provided, we would have loved to stay longer at all of the places we stayed.
All in all, a 10 out of 10 experience, I would (and will) recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a similar experience. Thankyou Mama Savana!!

Very professional and great to work with. Delivered trip of a lifetime.
We had a wonderful trip to Tanzania and it is all thanks to Alex and Mama Savannah. Alex came highly recommended from a friend who had travelled with Mama Savannah before and he did not disappoint. He was very forthcoming and worked with us to tailor an itinerary for us. All through the process he was very patient with all the questions we had. He suggested the best places and camps to stay in considering the time of year and where the herds would be at the time we were visiting. We spent 9 days in various camps across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara and every camp was spectacular. We got to see so many animals and nothing we read before the trip could have prepared for the amazing experience we had. Our guide Allen was extremely knowledgeable and friendly (not to mention funny) and we spotted all of the big 5 thanks to him. One of our friends who was travelling with us also had a birthday during the trip and Alex and his team helped us organize a very special dinner and cake for him. It was one of the most special birthday celebrations that all of us really really appreciated. Alex and his team are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to going back as soon as I can ! Thanks Mama Savannah!!

Very considerate, kind, respectful and willing to give us an amazing experience
We had the best experience ever with Mama Savana. Everything went beyond our expectations and all the times they were thoughtful to make it for us an unforgettable honeymoon. Alex was always helpful and our guide, Hassan, was very kind and wouldn’t save efforts to help us seeing all the animals and we were able to see all the big 5! He was also a very good driver, since it was raining a lot and he always knew what he was doing. This is a very important point, since when in a Safari you can be exposed to a lot of problems related with the car/the road, which are normal, but thankfully didn’t happen to us.
Furthermore, in another experience with a different guide, he said the clients who were coming from Mamasavana were always in a good mood, and we couldn’t agree more. We were really happy about all the experience we had. They even changed our itinerary last minute because they thought it would be more profitable for us, and we sure saw they were right!
Since it’s a very expensive experience and also very intense, it’s good to be with someone you can trust. We can say we enjoyed every minute of it with Mamasavana and it will be always in our memories! Highly recommended!

Due to covid we had to postpone our trip several times for 2 years. Despite this, at mama savana they accommodated all our needs and organized our private safari greatly. The Safari was fantastic, the accommodations of good level, our guide expert and friendly. We realized one of our dreams, in a perfect way. Highly recommend.

Professional, attention to details, seeking and providing every needs of there customers.
Excellent safari tour operator. I asked them to arrange 3 nights in the Serengeti for me and my 12 year old son. The price was very competitive and the service was excellent. The tour operator (Eli) always attentive and seeking every needs and answering all questions we had. In the Serengeti, (Eli) made sure that we see and experience the wilderness in every aspect. We saw the cheetah's, lions , lion cubs, elephants, leopards, hypos, and hyenas. Me and my son had great time, and not had single negative aspect from all the safari arrangements. Actually i plan to explore more Tanzanian wilderness with Mama Savana Safari in my next trip .

Great tour operators, everything went smoothly!
I did extensive research on many different Safari companies and I felt that I got the best price and value from Mama Savana. Everything was well planned, Alex was easy to communicate with via email and answered all my questions beforehand, and the Safari itself was just an amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Excellent Tour and Service
Our tour with Mama Savana was nothing short of amazing! What an incredible experience! I wish everyone could experience a safari tour with Mama Savana.
Our driver/guide Haruni was fantastic. His knowledge of animals and their behavior was endless. Plus, he was very funny and we enjoyed our time with him. My husband took tons of photos, and Haruni was so patient with him.
In addition, Haruni was willing to let us sit and observe animals for a long time. He allowed us to set our own pace, and didn’t rush us through any of the parks.
You definitely want to request Haruni as your guide.
The accommodations on the trip were very fancy. All of the places we stayed were different, which was great…at the end of the day it was always a surprise to see what our room would be like. My husband’s favorite was the Matawi Serengeti Camp. The chef prepared delicious food and the staff was friendly and so accommodating. The Ngorogoro Coffee Hotel was 5star. All of the food was delicious and organic; grown right on the property.
