Amazing Experience in the Serengeti!!
We traveled to Tanzania in June of last year and I can’t say enough about how wonderful our trip was with Eli as our guide! We met him at the Kenya/Tanzania border and we spent 6 fantastic days driving through the Serengeti, enjoying all the different landscapes from the northern hills, the endless plains, and down into the Ngorongoro crater. We stayed at different lodges on the way and Eli made sure we had an incredible experience the whole time. His extensive knowledge of wildlife/nature, and amazingly impressive instincts (and eyesight!!) along with his friendly manner and sense of humor, and willingness to answer all of our questions (no matter how seemingly silly!) guaranteed we had the most fantastic trip. Thank you, Eli!

Trip of Lifetime - Great Experience in Tanzania
We did a four-day-safari in Tanzania in March, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
After long researches I found African Savannah Trekkers and after the first contact to Maureen we were sure to book this trip with her.
Maureen answered all our questions, told us every detail of the trip and at the end we were really overwhelmed by this safari.
Everything was perfect - we stayed at the Hhando Coffee Lodge and the Seregenti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp and both were the right choice. Perfectly organized from the beginning to the end, very nice people, great food etc.
The evening after the safari Maureen even called us to check, if everything was satisfactory for us.
In comparison to other Safari Agencies the price-performance was also the best, and it's worth every Dollar/Euro anyway.
Many thanks again to Maureen and her team, we just can recommend African Savannah Trekkers to everyone. :-)

Excellent Service from beginning to beyond the end
From the first inquiry to even a week beyond the safari, Maureen was amazing, answering every single question I had and helping plan the most perfect private safari for this solo traveler in Tanzania. Horace was a wonderful guide, providing excellent information and making sure I had the best experience everywhere we went. I became ill at the end of my journey and Maureen met us on our way through Arusha to make sure I was ok, then checked on me multiple times as I continued to travel in other parts of Africa after my time in Tanzania with African Savannah Trekkers ended. That's what I would call excellent customer service. I visited Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and Lake Manyara NP. I stayed at Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp and was pleased with all accommodations and the Land Cruiser was spacious and clean every day. I cannot recommend African Savannah Trekkers enough! Their high ratings are believable and I would definitely use them again if I ever return to Tanzania for safari again!

Unforgettable, wonderful experiance
We had a 4 day safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara. Already in advance, the communication with Maureen went smoothly. Horace our guide was very nice, knowledgeable, tried to answer any of our questions and was a very good driver. We were able to observe so many animals up close that we could not leave wondering. The accommodations Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Heritage Luxury Camp were very comfortable. Many thanks to Maureen and especially to Horace for a wonderful time.

Our ideal honeymoon in Africa
Have you ever heard about ideal honeymoon? Yes we had it in safari in August with African Savannah Trekkers team!
It was perfect from start and until final! Maureen! She is a great person. We had a long-long conversation from Russia by e-mail. The answers were very quickly and pleasant . Maureen gave us all answers for our silly (and not) questions :) I was so scared to transfer money before trip,but finally it is all ok. And how we glad that we prefer exactly her team!!!
Our guide was so kindly too. He helped us in everything, talked about all animals that we saw. And he can drive so close to lions,it was so nice photo! He realized our dream))) to see that cats so close)
And also I especially want to note our camps..it was so...so ..wow!!! But the best for us is luxury serengeti tented lodge. It is love from first look :) and of course- olea lodge-there was so nice girl! So kind and pleasant) she did for us romantic dinner. Wow.
So it was the best trip ever for us. Thanks a lot for these memories. We will remember it all our life

Big recommendation!
We've had a great experience with this company. It all started with perfect communication from Maureen. She helps you with every question and demands you have. She setup a perfect trip for us which suited our needs completely. Before and after the safari, Maureen visited us to check if everything was to our expectations.
We visited four parks in four days (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Manyara) and had Eli as driver. Although he was a bit passive in communication, he is a very safe driver. He is a king in getting you upfront between the other jeeps to see everything from close by.
Thank you Maureen for this unforgettable adventure. When we come back we'll surely book again with African Savannah Trekkers!

Completely satisfied
We went on a four day safari with African Savannah Trekkers and right from the first emails I had a great feeling about them. The main reason was how thorough and prompt all the information was past on. Maureen was really on the ball when it came to giving advice on our tailor made safari and other trip related matters. Communication with her was fantastic and she made sure everything went smoothly.
We stayed at Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge. We LOVED the Serena Lodge although Hhando was nice too.
Our driver and guide was Timo, great guy. He was quite knowledgeable and wasn’t overpowering at all, very discreet. He was committed to his job and was completely at our service.
We were 100% satisfied and would recommend Savannah Trekkers to anyone. Thank you for making our safari a memorable one.

First and great safari experience with African Savannah Trekkers
While researching what company to choose for our safari, I came across African Savannah Trekkers founded in 2009, I believe in supporting the local entrepreneurs and their employees as much as possible. So this company was a great choice for me and my wife. African Savannah Trekkers is a young, small, very well run company. Maureen communicates via email herself with us. She answered all my questions promptly and it was clear she was anxious to please us. She planned a safari which would allow us to see the highlights we wanted in the short time frame we had. All the accommodations were very good, luxury hotels and farmhouse.
Our guide Eli was so knowledgeable about the animals and the geology of the land. He definitely took care of us, watched out for us, and entertained us with his knowledge. I can't wait to go back.
To be honest I highly recommend this company for those searching for an enjoyable, informative, affordable and well planned adventure.
Thank you Eli, Mureen, and African Savanah. We miss you
