It was a great experience to make the safari with African Savannah Trekkers
Together with my wife we made a 7 day safari, where we visited the following parks.
Started in Tarangire, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.
It was a great experience, we saw a lot of animals, including many Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes and countless Buffalo's, Zebras and Wildebeest and many other animals.
We would not have seen some animals ourselves without our guide Horace he has the eyes of a hawk.
He drove us around for 7 days and managed to answer every question we had.
A tip is when you can not remember all the information of animals and plants he gives .
Take a picture of the book he has with him, from the page where, for example, the bird in question you want to remember the name of.
Horace drives very safe and fully adapted to our wishes regarding start and end times.
The hotels and tented camps were all fine.
Also the food and lunch were well catered for.
In the 7 days every day was an experience again.
Among the things we have seen , a territory battle between 7 lions.
And a leopard who killed an antelope and dragged it into the tree.
Two cheetahs who were eating a wildebeest.
And much more.
All in all, African Savanna Trekkers is a good company to experience a safari.

Good safari good agency
We went on a 5 day safari. The agency has been very responsive at a distance. The tour was well organized at a reasonable price and we were very pleasantly surprised by the accommodations, comfortable and of good quality. Only downside: the driver was a good driver but not a guide. We had very few explanations which is a shame. We advise you to ask for a guide but may be the price will be higher. Despite everything we recommend this agency that offered us a nice stay at a good value for money.

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. :-)

Great experience with African Savannah Trekkers!
We met our guide, Eli, on the Kenya/Tanzania border. He guided us through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for 4 days before flying out of Arusha. We stayed at the Kubu Kubu Tented Camp and the Ngorongoro Farm House, both were fantastic. Our guide, Eli, was very knowledgeable and really great to be around for our time there...the game drives he took us on were amazing! Absolutely fantastic experience and would highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers. Trip of a lifetime...

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!

A Dream Fulfilled- Tanzania WildLife Safari
The trip was very well planned by Maureen , to suit our requirements and needs.We were 4 vegetarian family members., visited in August 2019.
It was 6N/7Days safari tour to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
we are photographers from India and it was our dream to visit Serengeti for photographing Wildlife.
The vehicle 4x4 Land Cruiser was in very good condition.
The given accommodation at Country Lodge-Karatu, Hhando Coffee Lodge-Karatu and Green Hills Tented Camp at Serengeti , were very good .The Lodges were clean, provided us with good Vegetarian food throughout our safari tour.
Our Guide Horace was a knowledgeable person having a very good eye for spotting the birds and distance animals. He was quiet and answered all our queries promptly. He is safe driver, punctual and was friendly with us.
Serengeti is Mecca for wildlife/nature photographers. Here we enjoyed all three days viewing and photographing Gazelles, Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards. We were lucky to see Lioness and Cheetah hunting Gazelle.
We will Highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers.
All in all it was a Great Experience of Life Time -viewing and Photographing Wild Life of Tanzania!!!

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!
