With African Savannah Trekkers — dreams come true!
My husband and I did a private safari with Philomena's company in February 2021. Safari is a very expensive pleasure, we have been pursuing our dream for several years, so we were very afraid to make a mistake with the choice of the company. We wrote to Filomena on the recommendation of our friends, without even reading reviews about her company. At the same time, we signed off with two more companies. The price and route suggested by Filomena were the best. I asked a bunch of stupid questions and always got a polite answer throughout the day. Filomena, the only one who, after my letter that I have problems with the spine and I am a tourist with limited mobility, suggested changing the standard route and making an individual route for me to reduce the load on my back. It was a very correct decision! All our requests were granted. Our driver and guide was Elisante, he is a wonderful modest person, an excellent driver and a real hunter !!! He's passionate and it's cool! He doesn't speak much and that's great too, we felt private in the car. We had a personal space in which no one interfered. When we asked to tell us something, he happily talked to us, when we wanted only endless savannah, wind in the face and the Sun - only for the two of us - we had it. Airport pick up was great, First night was at Hhando Coffee Lodge - it's a chic place on the edge of the jungle .. Great service. Dinners and breakfasts on the terrace are great. Further, through the Ngorongoro viewpoint, we arrived at the Serengeti. Filomena advised two nights inside the park and this is also the only right decision. The roads are long and bad. My friends, the Serengeti is huge, it is endless !!!! It cannot be described, it can only be felt. Overnight in luxury tents..SHUHUDIA ADVENTURE CAMP was a great option. Philomena said, with my aching back, there is no need to sleep in the tents, she will think of something. And she put us in a great place. Great soft beds, good food, savanna next to your bed. Elisante found all the big five for us in 3 days. We didn't even ask where he was going and who he was looking for - we knew he would find someone for us. By the end of the trip, my back pain intensified (this is inevitable for a sick person) and Elisante drove me like a feather, slowly slowly crawling over every bump. Thank you very much for that.

Superb service and great guidance
Chose this company among about 10 others. Very individual approach, quick and smooth communications. The price was also the best I could find.
Everything was even better than I expected: comfortable driving by a very experienced guide Eli, cozy and comfortable accomodation. We slept well, we never were hungry, we saw the big 5 and many many more animals, Eli and Philomenia took care of every detail of our trip.
I highly recommend African Savannah for everyone who wants to have an amazing and safe safari trip!

Unforgettable experience in Africa
This was the first trip we made to Africa and I must admit that it was the best moment of our holiday. African savannah has the top notch team! Communicating with them was quite smooth and they accommodated us so well. We got to have numerous games drives since we visited Serengeti,Ngorongoro,Manyara and Tarangire national parks...it was beautiful! Our guide Horace summed up the equation..he was really patient with us and so generous too, with him we got to know a lot about the many animals we saw! Unforgettable!
Memorable moments in Tanzania
We were a group of 3 and had a 6 day and 5 night safari. We visited Tarangire,Ngorongoro and Manyara national parks. African Savannah can’t be praised better,we experienced the best times of our lives with them. Considering this is a pandemic period we thought we wouldn’t get to have as much fun but this company went above and beyond to make us enjoy every minute! They went way above our expectations, this is a very great team to work with. I can never forget this experience to Tanzania,it was one of a kind!!

Amazing once in a life time experience!
Amazing safari with Elisante! We saw everything. It was tough getting here with Covid but I am very grateful I did. The guide was always sanitizing everything and made it safe. This company went above and beyond to make the experience the best possible. Even with it being just me on a solo safari. I was scheduled for a balloon ride in the central serengeti but it was cancelled due to not enough people. African Savannah Trekkers made the offer and drove me all the way to the northern side just to make a balloon ride. This is an amazing company to book with and a highly recommend it!

Highly Recommend - Ask for Elisante as your guide!
I can't recommend African Savannah Trekkers enough! I discussed trip options with multiple companies, and it was a no brainer to go with African Savannah. Communication from this company can hardly be matched - I always had a response within 1-2 days, and usually within just a few hours. And I sent MANY emails asking questions, rearranging the itinerary, etc to make sure that I had all the information I wanted before I committed and paid. Maureen and Amsi were great to communicate with. But what really sealed the deal was my guide, Elisante. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and patient, and made sure I got the best photos. I can't stress enough having a knowledgeable guide who can find where the animals are. He knows the staff at all lodging locations well, and was more than accommodating whenever I needed anything - extra food, a particular souvenir, back up down the road to get another photo of an animal, sit in a spot for 15 minutes gazing at elephants - you name it. ASK FOR ELISANTE - you will not regret it. *NOTE* That $50 bills before 2006 are not accepted in TZ. Thank you African Savannah for the trip of a lifetime!

A wonderful tour
We were a group of 3 people and booked a safari with African Savannah Trekkers for 5 nights and 6 days. Communication with Amsi was great! Our guide Horace was very good to us and detailed with everything we inquired as we visited Manyara,Tarangire,Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was an amazing tour
