Fantastic safari
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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!

Professional team and wonderful experience
5/5

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.

Selous and Zanzibar
5/5

We traveled with Mama Savana for 17 days through Tanzania and it was a very pleasant experience. Pick-up times were always on time and we got lots of good recommendations about sightseeing, parks and people and they spend some time with us before we booked the trip with emails and calls and also when we arrived in Dar. We are a family with 2 girls (15 and 12) and were happy with the game drives in Selous what was a park what was not crowded at all. Our guide had a bright knowledge about animals and flora. After that we spend time in Zansibar and trips were also organized very nicely. They made a special customized vacation for our family and we happy with every single part of it.

Great tour with Mama Savana
5/5

We did a 7 day Safari in september 2016 with Mama Savana. It was a great experience and an amazing trip.
First of all we arrived at Kilimandscharo Airport on monday 12th september. The director of Mama Savana picked up at the airport and dropped off at McAlley's Hotel in Arusha. On Tuesday we had a free day and walked around in Arusha.
On Wednesday our guide picked up at McAlley's Hotel for starting the Safari. Our first national park was the Tarangire. It was nice first tour with a lot of elephants, zebras, girafe, pelican and a big snake. On Wednesday night we went to the Sangaiwe tented Lodge close to the park. The lodge was pretty nice with amazing view and really amazing tents. Thursday morning the trip ahead to the Lake Manyara. In the night we were at the Olea Africian Lodge. In this Lodge the dinner was excellent. Friday the tour went to the Ngorongoro park. The view of the crater in the morning was amazing. In the crater are a lot of different animals (hippos, lions, buffalo, wildbeast, one rhino etc.). Friday afternoon we drove further to the Serengeti park (round 3 hours) and spent the night in the Mbugani tented lodge. This tented are in the center of the serengeti park at a small river. In the night you can hear the lions and buffalos who coming to the river. A great experience. We stayed here for two nights. Sunday afternoon we went to the Akazia Farm lodge. This lodge was the best of all. Great service with a great view.
Monday morning we went back to Arusha. Our guide dropped off at cafe close to Arusha and we had one last coffee together. Afterwards the director drove us to the airport.

Summit:
Our guide Allen was always capable and took care of us. He was really funny =). He shown us all big five and many more.
The food and provisions in the lodges and the lunch pakets were always top.
All lodges were comfortable and very clean and the staff ´was always friendly.

Great tour. Great experience. Great people. Great nature. Amazing animals.
