Tanja was so amazing
5/5

So I booked a trip to namibia last year and was so excited about this trip planned by tanja. This trip was so well planned with a few days inbetween to chill and go through pictures. I loved every part of the tour even the African massage roads. Chalemon was the group that we did our tours with and they were so accommodating and helpful. We had some amazing stays in the desert and sossusvlei and Etosha did not dissapoint. Such a truely amazing experience. Tanja was on WhatsApp available whenever she was needed and fantastic communication throughout. Worth every penny! When I come back to Africa will be using this company again can not fault it or their team.

Great Communication with planning our “Taylor Made Tour!”
5/5

Safety was a big concern for us when travelling to Cape town and surrounding areas so decided to go with African Savanna with Tanja as our tour operator.
We have travelled a lot, and this was our first time using a tour company/driver/guide. It was a wonderful carefree experience for my husband and I! We gave Tanja the activities we wanted included and through emails back and forth, she created a fabulous itinerary with a local guide who made our trip unforgettable!
Thanks again for all of your help in planning our trip!! 5 Stars:)

Perfectly planned
5/5

Recently returned from a 9 day trip to South Africa (April 2022) that covered game watching in Kruger, Wine tasting in Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and fabulous Cape Town and Cape Point. As a solo traveler with limited time, it was important to find a travel agent-who would work with me. Safety is always a part of my planning. Tanja (African Savanna Travel) covered all the bases and more. She put together an itinerary that included all my requests -at very short notice. Although I only overnighted in Joburg before catching my flight to Kruger, Tanja had arranged a local guide, Gavin, to meet me on my arrival and take me to my hotel. She also arranged all the internal transfers. She checked daily with my guides throughout the tour.
I wanted to include a couple of hikes/walks as well as a museum visit in Cape Town-She found the Ideal guide in Machiel-He is an avid hiker as well a lifelong resident of Cape Town. He was also my guide in the wine country tour. With his knowledge of the history of Cape Town, local food joints, the wineries, art and the Cape’s lovely flora and fauna and the best views, (and the best parking spots), he made my visit to Cape Town memorable
Thanks for arranging a fantastic trip Tanja, I plan to return. Highly recommend Tanja ((African Savanna Travel) for your personalized tours in Southern Africa.

Great service and recommendation of lodge was beyond expectation .
5/5

African Savanna Travel service was great fast email response and hassle-free fast booking .
Tanja heard our request for the trip to a Game lodge in Hoedspruit area.
Her recommendation of a lodge was beyond my expectation and we as a family had an absolute unforgettable Bush experience.
African Savanna Travel will definitely be on speed dial for future trips

High Quality, excellent service, gave us a very relaxed feeling during traveling.
5/5

Excellent service, great help!
Thanks to Africa Savanna Travel we had a very great time in South Africa.
We already planned a trip two years ago, but due to personal circumstances we had to cancel our holiday at that time. But it was a pleasure to keep in touch with Africa Savanna Travel and Tanja managed to arrange the same Safari lodge this year under nice conditions. It turned out to be a perfect location. Even so the other locations Africa Savanna Travel arranged for us were nice, proper and sweet. Also the communication with Africa Safari Travel was easy and accurate and very nice.
But most of all we appreciate the service and assistance we experienced during our trip. At one moment when we had some problems with our personal documents, Tanja immediately came to help us and solve the problem. It is very nice when you are travelling to know to have a ‘backup’ in a travel agency with so much compassion for their clients. It made us feel very relaxed.
We will recommend Africa Safari Travel to anybody who wants to go there. If we go there again, we surely contact Tanja.

I recommend 100% African Savanna Travel!!!!
5/5

This year we traveled again with African Savanna Travel for the second time in a row, and I'm sure it will not be the last.
This is probably the best tour operator to travel to Southern Africa. You can feel that Tanja is very professional from the first email that you exchange with her, and then, as you talk with her, you can see that she is also very kind and friendly.
Communication with her is simply perfect. She goes out of her way to please all requests, and also has very good advice to give because her knowledge of the area is excellent.
In this year's holidays, we traveled to Namibia and Kgalagadi for 20 days, by self drive and combining campsite and lodge. All the accommodations chosen by Tanja, the rental car company, and the activities, have been unbeatable. During the trip we had contact with Tanja through whatsapp, she always worries that everything goes well. Even if there is a problem (this is Africa so surely always happens something) Tanja manages to solve everything at the moment. I just trust her and I travel calmly knowing that she is there.

Excellent trip, spot on arranged to our wishes
5/5

From the very first contact we have been treated perfectly. No question or change was asked to much. Answering always within 12 hours of my emails. And all the arrangements suited perfectly to our needs. We gave a budget, a timeframe, what we wanted to see and do and kind of atmosphere we were looking for. Savannah Travel proposed right from the start a great trip with a lot of up-scale bed and breakfast like accommodations that we would never have found ourselves. The schedule and the atmosphere of all the locations suited us very very well.
The recommendations for things to do we received from Savannah travel or the guesthouses, and which we followed were all excellent. We didn't come to spot the big five but to taste South Africa, its people, culture, nature, food and of course the wines. And we did all of that. we even saw 4 of the big five which was a nice 'extra'. It was a trip to remember forever and would recommend Tanja from Savannah Travel to everyone.
