Alex was very accommodating, however the tour guide was incredibly disappointing.
We got very close to a pride of lions, were present at a lion ‘marriage ceremony’ and watched a leopard/cheetah for many hours. Are your guide had a good eye but lacked communication skills, we were not sure where we were going half the time, he would make decisions without informing us or explaining to us. I believe this was because we were 2 young female travellers. Given the amount of money we paid I was highly disappointed at this and it ruined our trip.

Mamasavana is a very good travel agency to do a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Their guides are very professional and also kind persons. Our accomodations in the tour were excellent and we saw a lot of animals, hunting scene, cubs of lion and cheetah. Great experience and great organizacion

Fantastic safari
We are a family of four and Mama Savana organized for us a wonderful Safari in a tented camp. We spent 1 night in lake Nakuru and 4 nights in Masai Mara. Everything was perfect. Perfect guide, perfect car, the tented camp was nice, clean and well organized. Food was very good and everything went the right way. Thanks Mama Savana for the wonderful time we had!

Exellent experience
I had a Safari nearly two weeks ago with MamaSavana in the park of Tsavo Est (Kenya). I enjoyed so much the experience, I found very competent and kind people (both the driver and the guide), the organization was excellent and the lodge so comfortable.
I hope to visit Amboseli park as soon as possible with MamaSavana! :)

Outstanding company to deal with
We had the trip of a lifetime with Mamasavana who were so personal and responsive. We always felt totally safe in their hands and they ensured that we had a magnificent time. There truly is nothing more they could have done and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Amazing, friendly, reasonably priced and could not recommend highly enough
Just finished my 5 day safari with Mama Savana in the Sarengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. Started in Arusha after travelling after a few weeks in Kenya. Mama Savana is a local company with competitive prices.
Was concerned about arranging the Safari after hearing so many disappointing reviews of tour operators and decided to use Mama Savana because of the excellent communication given by Alex who runs the company in Tanzania and is based in Arusha. In 4 days he came up with a fantastic intinary with excellent accommodation and a stay in the Serengeti for 2 nights.
Alex went above and beyond my expectations and the service was excellent. Our driver Emanuel was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and would ask for our input to shape our Safari experience. He made sure that we left early every morning to experience the Safari when other tour operators hadn't even picked up their clients - with some not leaving until gone 10am and returning for lunch - we were out all day and stopping at some great places to have lunch whilst looking at great views, this meant that we saw more animals than we had even hoped for.
To top it off - I told Alex we were going to Zanzibar afterwards and he even arranged flights and accommodation there with some brilliant local recommendations. All in all genuinely a fantastic experience and again cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Excellent company, professional service and very friendly staff.
Everything excellent and flexible to my needs, during a 5 days Safari at Lake Manyara, Nrongorongo and Serengeti.
All previus contact was with Alex, who had iniciative to talk to me by wap and answer all my doubts.
The Safari Guide was Allen, who is the best one!
He knows a lot about savana and the animals, very professional and friendly with me and my boyfriend.
The hotel suggestion was very nice and the balloon safari magic!

A great experience!
Our safari experience was absolutely great! The email communication with Alex was very professional (both through email & whatsapp). He was very flexible and picked us up from the Airport at 3am! He also got us a honeymoon dinner on our last night in Arusha. Overall, he made us feel the experience was definitely worthy!
Allen, our driver and guide was very nice to us (and he even spoke a little bit of Spanish, which was definitely unusual to see!). He is a very experienced driver and guide, has a lot of knowledge about the animals and the parks. And, he definitely has the best eyes to spot animals (no matter how far they are). We managed to see the big 5 and had some amazing experiences (close to elephants, a cheetah, lions, etc). Absolutely magical!
Overall, everything was absolutely great and the only tiny downside is that we hardly felt we were in our honeymoon. The places where we stayed overnight were all great (Alex made magnificent choices for us!), but almost none of them treated us in a special way. We just felt we were doing a great trip, but not a honeymoon trip (except on a couple occasions, including the last night in Arusha that Alex took great care of).
P.S.: If you are planning to go to Tanzania in June, beware of the weather! It is colder than you might expect, make sure you bring warm clothes with you!

Professional team and wonderful experience
It is an extremely awesome experience for six of us from China.
Alex is a genius, who helped us design the trip and took care of many details. He is a knowledgeable guy who is so professional and considerate. He ensured our transfer from Nairobi to Arusha to be such unexpectedly smooth.
Allen is quite a nice guy, who is not only a great driver, but also an expert in the field. He knew where to find the big cats and many other terrific animals. He led us to many rare scenes. His patience and earnesty maximized our pleasure throughout the trip.
We felt just like a family. I miss them and miss Serengeti. I am sure I will be back before long.
