Wonderful Experience!
I can't say enough about how great our experience was with African Savannah Trekkers! We had less than a week to visit Tanzania and they -- on very short notice -- arranged for us a perfect 3 day safari. We visited Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park and saw lots of animals -- lions and hippos, giraffes and elephants and so many more. The accommodations they arranged were beautiful and had breathtaking views. Our guide/driver was fun to be with and very informed about the plants and animals and geology, and quickly developed a sense of what we personally would enjoy seeing. He was also very knowledgeable about people. Tanzania is a very ethnically and culturally diverse country, and our guide was eager to help us understand the peoples and customs we were seeing, which was a really enriching experience. He even arranged a side-trip for us on the second day to visit a couple of different villages and an "out in the bush" regional monthly market (not a tourist market, a market for regular people).
We highly recommend African Savannah Trekkers!

Excellent safari, we will never forget!
We had a smooth drive with a good maintained car. No problems at all. Elisante, our driver, showed us many national parks in a 6 days safari: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire. He was always in time, we never had to wait.
We could tell him any wish about the tour, he tried to fullfil it, if possible.
He knows nearly everything about nature, animals and tribes, we learned a lot.

East African Safari
Elisante is friendly and professional. I highly recommend using African Savannah Trekkers if you are planning a trip to East Africa. Tanzania has so much to offer, it's the best of both worlds with the adventure of a land safari and then relaxing with a cocktail near the crystal blue waters of Zanzibar. You will have memories that will last forever.

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!
