Amazing 4 Day Safari
My husband and I loved our 4 Day Safari trip. It felt like a dream came true. The accommodations at Hhando Coffee Lodge and Tortilus Camp were excellent. Both were comfortable and quiet places to rest when it’s most needed at the end of each Safari day. The service and food were excellent, too. I was especially thankful to have vegetarian food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We particularly enjoyed our guide, Eli. He was a very patient and helpful guide who was happy to answer all of our questions. He was a good listener and made sure that he tried his best to meet our needs and interests. The best part of the trip was seeing all the animals and vegetation, of course! We were surprised to see the Big 5 and many, many more. We highly recommend African Savanah Trekkers to other people seeking an awesome safari experience. Thank you for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!

Great safari!
If you are looking for an agency to organize your safari in Tanzania, look no further.
They offer great options for a good price.
We chose a 4 day safari visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, Horace was our guide, he was very professional, very safe driver, friendly, punctual and knew all the answers to our questions!
We saw a bunch of animals including leopards, cheetah, lions...and many more!
The lodges where we stayed were wonderful, food was fantastic and we had an amazing time.
Maureen ,the owner, is also very friendly and made everything super easy. On our last day, she contacted us to check our impressions on the safari experience.
If you decide to book with them you will not be disappointed!

Amazing 4 Day Safari Tour
We were a group of four, looking for a 4 day safari trip in Tanzania. We decided to book with African Savannah Trekkers because the price was very good for the tour offered and also the lodges looked very nice. Also the communication and the planning worked out very good. We were in contact with Maureen and she was very kind and answered all our questions in advance and adopted the trip to our wishes. We visited the Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti National Park and the Lake Manyara. We arrived in Arusha in the evening before our trip and had already booked an hotel there on our own. Maureen and our driver, Horace, came to visit us there to explain us everything and to make the final payment for the trip. Our tour started in the morning the next day but they did this so we didn't have to drive to the office in the morning because we would have lost some time then. At first we were a bit sceptical to pay everything in advance, but everything worked out very well and Horace came to pick us up in the morning the next day. Horace is a very good and nice driver. He knows a lot about the animals, is very patient and was always stopping when we wanted to to go the bathroom, buy souvenirs or needed to go to an ATM. The accommodations were wonderful as well. The tented camp in the Serengeti was just amazing! All in all it was a great trip with great people and we were lucky to see the big five. And one more thing: At the end of the trip I forgot my hat in the car and Horace personally came to our hotel in Arusha the next day to bring it back!!!! That´s how nice this company is!!!
Ahsahnte sana!!!!!

The perfect start for a perfect honeymoon.
Our honeymoon couldn't have a better start. We arrive really early (5am) and our guide was waiting for us in there since around 3:30 to make sure that he was there to welcome us when we arrive. James was our guide and he was the best. Very knowledgeable, experience, always on your side to make sure you don't have to worry about a thing and is english is really good, he is clearly a very smart guy. Gave us several tips of when or where to buy gifts/souvenirs, was very patient with all the stops and always keep asking how we want to do and explain the schedule all the time. I'm always worried about times and stuff, and if you are like me don't let that bother you. They have everything covered and know what and when to do everything on time. Our final destination was in a different airport and that wasn't a problem at all (first was kilimanjaro and second was Arusha to go to Zanzibar). He didn't let us miss anything or get anxious about times. And a big advice. Book the hot air balloon experience. Its a bit pricey but they will make schedules work without missing anything and they will meet on time on the right points. You will have the most amazing experience. We book everything with Maureen and she was the best, always answering our emails on time, every little thing I asked, gave us the option to pay everything by bank transfer which was very convenient to avoid credit card fees. All the accommodations were amazing, in the first lodge we bought coffee that was planted by them in their gardens. The views the professionalism and even with my wife that don't eat meat they were very nice and always had vegetarian or fish options. We strongly recommend #africansavannahtrekkers and if everything goes according to plan I will contact them again next year to visit kenya. Asante sana Rafiki.
You will be in our hearts forever

Excellent safari tour
We went the first time safari ride so there was a lots of things to consider and taken care of at first. Maureen- the owner contacted us and gave us a detailed schedule as well as answered our questions patiently. Even the day we arrive Arusha, Maureen contacted the airline to ask if there would be any delays. The she met us before and after our safari rides to give us tips and bid goodbyt. Our driver Horace gave us the most memorable safari ride. He is very knowledgeable, responsible for the workwith best customer service, be on time always, focus on what he’s doing and explains things clearly. The seregeti np and ngorongoro crater exceeded our expectations, just wow. Our only regret was not able to see the migration and rhino, just because we chose to adventure 1 day in seregetti. The lodge was excellent with superb food, view, accommodation, friendly staff. We highly recommend to stay at hhando coffee lodge. To sum up, we will choose african savannah trekkers anytime coming back tanzania. Recommend unreserved to everyone.

Unbelievable Trip!
Broad strokes? Every pickup was on time and visable, every driver was courteous and professional, the vehicles were clean and taken the best of care, communication and on the ground planning was seamless, potential language barriers were a non-issue, being able to charge batteries in the vehicles was key. All the fundamental bases were covered exceptionally. Where do I start with Elesanti (our safari guide from Arusha to Serengeti)? In the simplest and best possible terms, the guy is a stud. In the beginning and understandably so, Elesanti was stoic, a true professional, all business. I could tell he was feeling us out. It was endearing and I appreciated his carefulness to make sure we were completely taken care of. As the trip progressed I realized the true level of experience and professionalism Elesanti possesses. A true patriot of Tanzania, one helluva driver, a master in animal movement anticipation, the patience of a saint, hater of large breakfasts (LOL), lover of large dinners with lots of water (LOL!), and a walking encyclopedia of knowledge of animal life in East Africa. I can confidently say that we started our safari as strangers but we concluded our safari as dear friends. We miss you Elesani!!!

Amazing Safari - life long memories!
Our guide Eli, was amazing, kind and very patient. We´'re big phography fans (though amateurs), so he's patience for waiting 20' in the very same spot until we got the picture we wanted was a huge plus for us in our safari. The parks (Serengueti, Ngorogoro, and Tarangire) we visited and the lodges (Coffee Lodge, Tree Tops, the Manor and Pioneer Camp) we stayed at were astonishing and beyond our expectations.
It was no doubt the trip of a lifetime!
