Well organized and experienced
We spent 9 days in Tanzania, doing only safari. It is a difficult journey, so it is very important to prepare It carefully in any detail.
Savannah Explorer was always present before and during the journey,answering to all our questions and suggesting changes when adviceable, thus giving us the chance to live a wonderful safari.

My Africa
My first phone call with Roberto was a year ago. A simple chat to see if that dream called Tanzania could finally become a reality. That call was enough for us to shake hands and say, "It's possible."
From the first moment, I felt safe. For a whole year, I continued to dream, guided step by step by Roberto's constant presence, until organizing the itinerary became the excuse to forge a true friendship.
I thought the greatest wonder would be seeing the animals free, losing myself in an African sunset, feeling small before the immensity of nature. I will never forget the lion's eyes meeting mine: an encounter I had dreamed of even before leaving, and it overwhelmed my heart.
But then came other eyes: those of the real Tanzania, experienced through its people. If the lion's proud and wild gaze left me breathless, those of the Tanzanian people left me speechless.
In the lion's eyes, I saw all the strength and beauty of the Africa I had come seeking; in those of its people, I discovered the Africa that silently enters you, confronts you, and forever changes the value you place on things.
And Roberto already knew it. Because while he was drawing the map of my safari, he was ultimately organizing a parallel journey: not a simple succession of geographical stops, but an intimate journey of encounters and emotions destined to change you inside.
I encountered a harsh reality, a poverty that no photograph can truly convey.
I saw how little there can be inside a home, yet how much light there can be in the eyes of those who live there.
Where my eyes saw so little, I found smiles capable of conveying immense joy. I saw children running without shoes, with dust and dirt on their legs, and a smile so pure it made you ashamed of every single time you complained about the smallest thing. In a world where we rush too much, here you understand how immense the world is and how much energy we waste on things that don't really matter.
Thank you, Roberto, and thank you to the entire Savannah team. Starting with Mudy, our guide: a truly special guy, who with his passion, kindness, and sensitivity accompanied us every day, making every sighting and every road an indelible memory; the lodge staff, the chefs (I'll never forget the surprise of the sambusas), every single person who took care of us. Always present with disarming discretion, with that sincere kindness that can't be learned, but is within. People capable of making you feel at home even thousands of miles away.
Organizing a trip may be a job like any other, but creating true emotions is a rare art. And you succeeded.
There are journeys that show you the world, and others that, through the world, change the way you look at your life.

Our experience with Samuel was wonderful. Expert guide. Deep connoisseur of animal perch and Tanzania in general.
Samuel very kind and caring . Excellent guide also in Italian. Highly recommended
Fabulous Safari trip with amazing camp sites.
Our group of eight had an amazing experience with Savanah Explorers. The guides were super friendly, very knowledgeable and professional at all times. They took us to the right places and were able to see the great five plus many other animals and all sort of birds. Our trip highlights was seeing 40 lions and lionesses, crowned crane, secretary bird and cheetah with her four cubs.
The cabins we stayed out were superb with great staff and delicious food.
The guides worked tirelessly to make us comfortable and happy.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our safari trip a memorable experience.

Exceeding even the rosiest expectations
We had a wonderful 10 days. Our agent, Nuru, managed to organize a trip perfectly tailored to our needs, down to the smallest detail. The Kilimanjaro trek and the safaris will always hold a special place in our hearts. Nuru is an attentive, helpful, kind, and highly knowledgeable guide. We highly recommend him.

Perfect tour of 4 days in Tarangire Serengeti Ngorongoro: driver top
We went on a full four-day tour of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks. Everything was very well organized. The jeep was perfect and comfortable. What really made the difference was our driver and guide, Babu—he was truly kind and extremely knowledgeable. We were very lucky with our wildlife sightings, but he was always quick to spot things, too. I was genuinely sad when the experience came to an end.

Safari Tanzania
Our safari experience in Tanzania with Savannah Explorers was truly magnificent and comprehensive in every respect.
We spent eight days traversing some of Tanzania’s most beautiful locations: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
It was a very well-organized itinerary that allowed us to experience diverse environments and fully savor the magic of a safari.
Special thanks go to Roberto, the owner of Savannah Explorers, for the organization and the helpfulness he showed throughout the trip. We also greatly appreciated working with Nuru, who was always present and available to assist with tour arrangements and daily communication.
The choice of accommodations was excellent as well. We alternated between lodges and tented camps—an approach we highly recommend, as it allows you to experience the safari in different ways: from the comfort of a lodge to the more authentic experience of camps immersed in nature, while still enjoying all modern amenities.
Among the accommodations, the Orangi Lodge—magnificently managed by Sara—deserves special mention; we loved it in every respect.
The eight-day safari was a succession of stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, thrilling emotions, and unforgettable moments. We had the opportunity to discover not only Tanzania’s nature and wildlife but also aspects of local life and culture—such as the fascinating morning we spent in a Maasai village.
We return from this trip with wonderful memories of Tanzania. It was an intense, well-organized, and comprehensive safari that gave us eight truly special days.
We recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone wishing to discover Tanzania through a well-crafted safari that combines parks, tented camps, and lodges.
Thank you to Roberto, Nuru, and the entire Savannah Explorers team for this wonderful experience.
