Magnificent! Bravo!
5/5

We joined 2 friends in Tanzania on the 4th of January and entered Serengeti by the Western Gate, David our guide picked us up from lake victoria, staying at the lodge the night before to be ready to start first thing the next morning. We spent 6 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorogoro, and 2 days in Tarangire. From our first contact with Savannah Explorers they were helpful and gave us excellent advice as we decided on an itinerary. The whole experience was superb, Roberto could not do enough for us, and David was a perfect guide who worked tirelessly to give us a rewarding experience, and his knowledge base and local knowledge was superb, and he taught us so much about the animals. Finally Roberto helped us getting from Arusha to Nairobi, even came to help us on the bus. This company definitely go the extra mile. Of course nothing can prepare you for the experience of the wildebeest migration, but all the local cultural interactions with the Masai were great and we even learned some Swahili!

Eagle eyes
5/5

Tarangiri, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro in one week. Due to the eagle eyes of our guide, Saidi, we got all the big five and more. Excellent the camp in Serengeti, with a five stars chef. Perfect organization and the feeling with the guide and the staff, Roberto and Greyson.

Ciao and arrivederci,
Edo, Italy.

Perfect trip!
5/5

Now it's already a week we are back from Tanzania, but we continue to thank all the people who have allowed us to spend an unforgettable holiday ! Everything was impeccably organized, itinerary and accommodations. We stayed in the lodges and really beautiful tented camp at the same level (our first experience , definitely to be repeated ! ) . We had a great time , we saw everything we could see and did exactly what we wanted because, unlike other tour operators who often organize with a minimum number of participants , in this case we had a private jeep , so we organized the trip exclusively according to our preferences , although always recommended by the staff of Savannah Explorers .

As written elsewhere, firstly a big thank you to Rama our guide, a very special person: smart, intelligent and especially really knowledable! He has entertained us throughout the journey explaining the history and culture of his country and many things about the life of animals ... even on a program of "Piero Angela" (famous Italian naturalist)! All the time with a beautiful smile!
Another thanks goes to Roberto and Greyson: the first one who has followed us since the choice of the journey, responding in a courteous and extremely detailed to any request and modulated traveling ad hoc perfect for our needs! Greyson for having welcomed us upon our arrival and greeted us on our departure, and although in a quick chat of a couple of hours, he has provided so much serenity and sympathy!

This post is for those who, like me, in the beginning did not have much information about this Tour Operator very young and wanted again some indication about. Besides, I add that I have traveled enough in Africa, including South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Uganda, Rwuanda, Namibia and other countries with different tour operators and this has nothing to envy to others, for the preparation that is really good and for the extreme courtesy which is also higher than a lot of other larger organizations.

With the hope of making a new short trip, maybe in the parks of the South ... THANK YOU SAVANNAH EXPLORERS!

Thank you Savannah Explorers
5/5

Me and my wife were guests of Savannah Explorers this January, from 16 to 24. Our tour included a visit to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Park around Mount Meru. The organization of the safari was flawless until the beginning, when we had the first contacts with Roberto, who has met our every question and doubt about the trip. Our local guide, Abdul, was very kind and patient, as well as prepared in his work. Thanks to him and to his knowledge of the area, the habits of animals we could see all the Big Five. The choice of accomodations was perfect, especially we remember the tented camp in the middle of the Serengeti plains. It 'was a unique and wonderful experience, and in the future, when we'll return in Tanzania, our reference point will once again Savannah Explorers.
Thanks for everythings.

Everything was just perfect: detailed planning and organization with Roberto, nice and professional guide and driver, high quality accomodations in the midst of nature. We saw thousands of animals and all the Big 5!! The great migration is an unbelievable experience, and Savannah Explorer gave us the possibility to live it at its best!!!

They provided a great tour, meeting all our expectations with great care and consideration.
5/5

We were very pleased with the prompt attention, response to emails and itinerary outlines we were offered for the number of days we wanted to travel. We had great accommodations arranged for us in the budget we requested. Our personal guide, Abdul, was very knowledgeable and equally as personable, making our time on safari very enjoyable.

Asante Sana - Savannah Explorers
Savannah Explorers were both professional and personal, and took maximum care to give value for money. The game drives were excellent and our guide Rama took extra pains to ensure that we see all the big five, see one or two hunts taking place, see post hunt feasting (leopard and cheetah) and that too all from close range. He showed us lion cubs, showed a leopard cub, showed cheetahs, etc. etc. the list is endless. He was always ready before us at the specified time for the game drives and was very courteous and had very good knowledge about the whole thing.
The stays arranged by Roberto and Greyson were a mix of luxury lodge, luxury forest camp, normal tented forest camp, forest lodge - each being a different experience for us. Planning the whole trip for a week or through e-mails with Roberto beforehand, paid off well as the trip went smoothly and everything was flawless.
Balloon safari was an out of the world, rather on top of the earth experience.
Asante sana once again.

Perfect Safari
5/5

Savannah Explorers is an excellent tour operator. Roberto tailored the trip to our needs and answered all our e-mails very fast. We visited Arusha NP, Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake natron (10 days). The lodges/ tented camps we stayed were very nice and pleasently located (especially Kati Kati in the Serengti). George (our guide/driver) was very knowledgable and an amazing animal spotter. We saw all the Big5 and many more. Last but not least, Tanzania is a beautiful country with many stunning national parks! Thanks for everyting!
