A well arranged 8 days of safari with friendly and experienced guides.
We were two families of 8 members with a 11 year old and two teenagers. We toured the main 4 northern circuit parks in Tanzania ie Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. We asked for middle range accommodation and were very pleased with the choices made for us by Savannah Explorers. Katikati tented camp and the Tarangire Safari Lodge requires special mention as they were excellent. Both guides (Abdul and Nixon) spoke English well and were committed to giving us the best safari experience possible. They were sensitive to our interests and accommodated our requests willingly.
I would highly recommend Savannah Explorers as tour organisers and would also like to mention the very prompt replies I received to all my queries, however mundane, by Roberto ( managing partner of Savannah Explorers).

Not bad, but it doesn't feel like it is the trip of the life time
We had an OK time with our tour guide Anwar. He was good when we first meet him. He was explaining things while driving on the first day. From the 2nd day onward, our guide was more interested in looking at his phone . Instead of guiding, he would most just answer our questions.
The Olea Lodge and Kati Kati camps are the good choice for our 4 nights stay. We were delighted to see the Olea Lodge is actually a lot better than the photos. Kati kati camp was an interesting experience. They have a good crew to make sure the food is hot and good. Our guide changed one of the full day game drive to go back to camp for 3 hours lunch and then tried to drive fast to catch up in the afternoon. We were not impressed as we have a five year old girl in the car and would prefer steady driving.
We were there in the low season, so there are some animals here and there but didn't have the "Wow" factor.
We are not happy that we almost missed our flight on the last day as the guide was late for about 40 to 50 minutes to pick us up from the hotel. Maybe our experience would be better if our guide was more Enthusiastic and not focused so much on his phones.
Reply from Savannah Explorers
Posted on Jan 19, 2016Dear Samantha, I'm sorry to read our guide didn't provide the best service. They are not allowed using the phone while they are driving or on game drive, they are supposed to provide enough information, drive carefully and be on time.
I appreciate your feedback, I have already called him in the office and this won't happen again.
Once again we apologize for what happened.
Kind Regards,
Roberto

Top tour in Tanzania!
We were thrilled with our safari experience with savannah explorers. Roberto emailed back and forth extensively to meet our expectations and allay all of our concerns. Greyson met us personally to see how our trip was progressing and to ascertain whether we had any questions or concerns. And our personal driver and guide, Abdul was wonderful! Abdul was with us the entire time, answered all of our questions and was just great to spend time with conversing about life in general!
We have only compliments for Savannsh Explorers and wish them the best of luck!

Uma das melhores experiências da minha vida
Fomos em lua de mel para Tanzania. O safari maravilhoso, o nosso guia, Joseph, foi fundamental. Ele conseguia ver os animais de longe e em dois dias vimos mais de 40 felinos (entre leões, leopardos, guepardos...), quando outros não viram quase nenhum.
O jeep era muito bom e realmente foi uma experiência incrível!
Não vejo a hora de poder fazer um outro safari.

Wonderful: The Safari you're looking for, with a good Company to organize it & the best Guide to sup
Safari in Tanzania.
The Safari organization was perfect; lodges and tented camps where we were housed, were cozy and clean, situated in a good location to be always immersed in the bush and with excellent cuisine. Even packed meals (picnic) were plentiful, varied and comprehensive, as well as hot and cold beverages in tow.
Our guide Joseph (Joseph John), ethnic Masai, led us along the tracks of the parks Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, with great local knowledge, expertise and excellent driving capacity to identify and 'feel' the animals: we are always got to see up close and continuously many animals (of course all the big five), even in special situations (coupling of lions, cheetah with puppies, leopard with prey on the tree, etc.). Joseph was always patient and amenable to our requests, full of initiatives in the search for goals, not bothering to leave early in the morning and use all the time of day.
The tour program is qualified by the company that organizes it, while the Safari is made memorable by the quality of the Guide: our experience has been that we have chosen well the organization of Savannah Explorers and have been very lucky to have Joseph John as Guide,very good professional in every aspect and at every moment of the safari, full of attention for us, and also a funny and good person, with good principles. He is a guide that we suggest to ask for, when this is possible.

Wonderful experience
Everything was perfect and above the expectation. Professionalism, availability and value for money: Savannah Explorer gave us a great Tanzanian Experience. Safari tour was perfectly arranged, from lodges and camps to transfers, our Safari guide Moses was very kind and professional. If you are looking for a small, smart and serious tour operator they are definitely the right choice.

Great Tanzania Safari
Our safari with Savannah Explorers was amazing! I researched this trip carefully and found that Savannah Explorers offered us the most for our money. There were three of us and we were very happy with this choice.
Roberto was extremely helpful. We e-mailed and skyped with him. He answered all of our questions promptly and sent us a detailed itinerary and a lot of valuable information about Tanzania and about what we needed for safari. He designed a plan for us according to our wishes. There was never a problem with planning.
We did not see Grayson, but our guide Abdul was great! He showed us so many animals.We saw all of the big five. He was good at spotting animals we otherwise would not have seen and he gave us a wealth of information about the animals, the people and the country. When we asked questions he answered in detail. He stopped often for us to observe and take photos.
Our vehicle was more comfortable than I had imagined it to be, although we drove over many bumpy, rutted roads. Water, soft drinks and beer were provided. We charged our phones and cameras in the vehicle.(Be sure to bring a converter to connect to.) We went on exciting game drives, including a night drive with a different guide. If you go on a night drive, be sure to bring a camera. We saw three cheetahs eating a zebra, which we were told was a rare sighting.
All of our accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable. I especially liked Kati Kati tented camp in the Serengeti. The atmosphere was just what we expected on safari; the food was amazing and the staff, especially David, the camp director, was friendly and very helpful.
Do not miss Ngorongoro Crater. It is worth your while to spend a little extra to stay at the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge at the lip of the crater. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The lodge itself was gorgeous. The view of the crater from the lodge's huge windows, from the terraces and balconies and from our room was magnificent. We saw baboons playing right below our window.
The animals, the terrain, the people, our accommodations-all of our experiences added up to an unforgettable adventure which we highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Savannah Explorers!

Great experience
We had amazing time both in Tanzania's Parks and at the seaside in Zanzibar, thanks to Savannah Explorer!
Organization, accomodations and program were at top level and also the support during the entire travel/holiday. The nature is beautiful itself, but the guide made a grat value added giving us a lot of amazing information about animals... and he brings us to see all the big five! :-)
We strongly recommend to make this wonderful experience with this tour operator!!
