More than expected. Great tour better guide.
The tour was amazing but what made It unique was the guide Allen. His experience in founding every animal and his ability to make us feel very confortable all the time were incredible. We Hope to do It again (with him obviously)
Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti
Our safari was a great experience starting at Lake Manyara and an amazing surprise after dinner at Olea Africana! Who expected singing staff, acrobatic dancers and a honeymoon cake:-D Then we headed to Ngorongoro crater with our always friendly, patient, funny and well educated driver and guide Allan! The crater itself is a unique encapsulated habitat for many many animals where we also saw our first lions. The track to Serengeti National Park is pretty rough but worth every penny! We were situated in Mbugani tented camp where we enjoyed elephants at breakfast and moaning lions at night - totally fascinating. The spot was marvellous and the food delicious. Allan truly offered us a lot of opportunities and we've just been lucky to see nearly any animal possible apart from rhino but hakuna matata;-) The last stay at Acacia Farm Lodge was also spot on, very friendly staff and another special surprises for us! So finally we would definitely recommend Mama Savanna for getting a great safari with personal touch!

Amazing service, caring staff from start to finish!
From booking to the completion of our safari, everything was handled. The staff was knowledgeable and shared with us about the location and history. From day 1 we were picked up expediently and our safari began. The staff handled all accommodations and tours. The accommodations were breathtaking and worth every second. They presented every animal imaginable and provided numerous stops to enjoy the local culture. I will absolutely and recommend to anyone to book with Mama Savana Safaris. There is no company better to provide the level of service expected!

Great trip, thanks for everything!
Alex from Mamasavana organized the Tanzania leg of our trip. He was always available and did a great job of fulfilling our wishes.
Harun was our local guide and supervisor. He was not only helpful and a wonderful travel companion, but also excellent at tracking down the animals. The friendly support from both of them made our trip much easier, especially when we had to change our plans for health reasons.
We have no regrets about booking locally rather than through a German company.
Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience - Ticked all boxes - Great communication
My wife and I had a fantastic time on the 9 night tour beginning in Nairobi. Our experience was as follows:
Initial enquiry/booking process: I had reached out to a number of different safari operators and Alex from Mama Savana was prompt and detailed in his responses that made the decision to book with him an extremely easy one.
Deposit and payment process: As with any large overseas transfer there is an element of risk. Alex was able to provide a very simple payment link that enabled me to pay with card. I received a receipt and confirmation from Alex almost instantly.
Arrival process: I provided the team our flight details and arrival time. Upon arrival in Nairobi Sammy was there to greet us at the airport to take us to our hotel. A note to others that you need evidence of the Yellow Fever vaccine to enter Tanzania from Kenya. We were also able to purchase our visa at the border.
The accommodation: The accomodation was great and provided everything we needed for our time travelling through Kenya and Tanzania - They are as good as you could possibly expect when travelling in remote parts of Africa. There were some highlights though. The Simba lodge and the coffee lodge being stand outs.
Safari and Guides: We were fortunate enough to have two extremely professional and experienced guides in Sammy (Kenya) and Harun (Tanzania). Both had their own style in telling us about the different facts and information about animals and landmarks that was great for us too.
We didn’t know what to expect when it came to seeing the animals in the reserves, but we soon realised it’s difficult to see all animals at least once with the leopards, cheetahs and Rhinos being the most elusive.
Our guides did everything they could to make sure we saw everything and in the end we did! We even saw a leopard and cheetah for a second time on the last day in the Serengeti. I can’t express how good these men were at making sure we had a great experience.
Also a very special mention to their driving abilities. I had read some other reviews that mention this, and didn’t think much of it. But wow. These guys get that Landcruiser in and out of places you wouldn’t think possible.
On the dodgiest of roads we felt extremely safe in these capable hands.
Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would certainly recommend anyone to go with Mama Savana

Knowlagable, professional, friendly
I had 24 day tour organized by Perfect wilderness tours and safaris based in Kenya and Mama Savana based in Tanzania. I spent 5 days in Tanzania visiting Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, lake Manyanara, park Tarangire. I wold like to thank my Tanzanian guide Mustapher for his knowledge and his professionalism and his friendliness. We were able to see lions, elephants, leopards, lots different types of gazelles, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, baboons and many other types of wild animals that populate parks in Kenya and Tanzania. I would like to praise friendliness and welcoming feeling of Kenyan, Tanzanian people and people of Zanzibar during this trip.

Mama Savana orchestrates unforgettable safari adventures in Kenya and Tanzania.
My daughter and I recently embarked on a safari adventure with Mama Savana, exploring the breathtaking wilderness of Kenya and Tanzania. I can't emphasize enough how exceptional our experience was. From the moment we set foot in East Africa to the last day of our tour, every aspect was meticulously planned, seamlessly executed, and filled with unforgettable moments.
Mama Savana's team comprises seasoned experts with unparalleled knowledge of the region's wildlife, ecosystems, and cultures. Our safari guides were not just guides; they were passionate storytellers who shared their deep insights, making every game drive an educational and awe-inspiring experience.
The wildlife encounters were beyond our wildest dreams. Witnessing the "Big Five" in their natural habitats was a dream come true. We also had the privilege of observing countless other fascinating creatures, thanks to Mama Savana's in-depth understanding of the best times and places for animal sightings.
One of the standout features of this tour was the opportunity to connect with local communities. Our interactions with the Maasai people were eye-opening and heartwarming, giving us a profound appreciation of their rich traditions and way of life.
A particular highlight of our safari tour with Mama Savana was the delightful surprise arranged by our operator Alax. He rerouted our tour via a local village, where we were warmly welcomed into a private home. There, we had the privilege of savoring local culinary delights prepared by the talented cook of the village.
The flavors were exquisite, and the experience was truly unique. It felt like we were part of the family, sharing stories and laughter over a delicious meal. This unexpected cultural immersion was the icing on the cake of an already exceptional journey.
Alax's thoughtful gesture and the warm hospitality of the local villagers left a lasting impression on us, a memory we will cherish forever. Mama Savana and Alax, thank you for going above and beyond to make our safari experience truly unforgettable.
Mama Savana ensured that every place we stayed was a unique and comfortable retreat. From luxurious lodges to cozy tented camps, each offered a different perspective on the landscapes and a chance to immerse ourselves in the surroundings.
Mama Savana's commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism practices was evident throughout the journey. Clearly, they care deeply about preserving the environment and cultures of the regions they operate in, and we wholeheartedly support these principles.
Our safari with Mama Savana will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It was a magical, life-enriching experience for both of us. We're already dreaming of our next adventure with Mama Savana and can't recommend their services highly enough.
Thank you, Mama Savana, for creating a journey that surpasses expectations. Your dedication to excellence truly shines, and we look forward to the day we can explore with you again.

Amazing experience
MamaSavana handled the Tanzania leg of our safari covering lake mayanara, ngorogoro crater, and the Serengeti. We had a great time, and our driver Harun went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of this once in a lifetime trip.

Everythibg was perfect, from the start to the end of the trip
We chose Mama Savana by all the good reviews here in safaribookings.com and we did the correct choice! From the very beginning we spoke with Alex over Whatsapp, very fast replies and he helped us with everything and we did many changes in the plan so that it fit our budget and our requirements. We did 7 days safaris including Masai mara,Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Amboseli park and we had amazing time! Everything went very smooth, form the pick up in the airport until the end,we had three different guides and we loved especially Hasan-Guide in Tanzania as he knew lot of things and he always found hidden animals around ;) the campings we stayed were very nice and the food as well. We can recommend this safari 100% for everyone as they are very profesional and the guides are really passionate about animals
