The Safari or dreams
We went on safari with Savannah in July and it was an incredible experience, all thanks mainly to our guide Emanuel.
From the moment we arrived at the airport until our departure, he followed us step by step, fulfilling all our requests, giving us thorough explanations and answering all our questions, all this using excellent Italian.
Emanuel is kind, knowledgeable, helpful and very nice, he was definitely an added value on this trip. He also always took good care of the jeep, cleaning it every evening after the day spent on Safari.
We visited three parks: the Ngorongoro crater, the Tarangire and the serengeti. The last two personally are the ones we enjoyed the most. The evening before we decided with Emanuel on the departure time, and in this respect too he was extremely flexible.
In the parks he tried to show us as many animals as possible, so much so that we even managed to see a leopard. Furthermore, my daughter wanted to have a face-to-face with a giraffe and Emanuel managed to please her thanks to a giraffe that was eating by the roadside.
In addition, during the safari days he always took care of the packed lunch, drinks and everything else that was needed.
The lodges were very nice and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and in this respect too we were extremely satisfied.
On the way back from the airport we wanted to do some shopping and eat red bananas and Emanuel accommodated us in this too.
Having said that, we would like to say a huge thank you to Emanuel for making this a unique experience, and we would recommend him to anyone planning to go on safari in Tanzania.
A presto 🫶🏻

Samwel was our driver and he was absolutely fantastic
We came across Savannah Explorers on Safaribooking.com. We wanted to do a trip that combined both a safari and a few days in Zanzibar. Savannah Explorers were able to accommodate both. Both our booking contact and driver (both Samwel) were absolutely super. Nothing was ever too much hassle. Our accommodation was a mix of lodges and tented camps whilst on safari and both were perfect. Samwel brought us around to see lions, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, the wildebeast migration - the works! His knowledge of all of the wildlife, plants local culture and history was fantastic. Thank you very much Samwel!

Excellent safari, well organized and perfect follow through until the final day
Could not have had a better experience. Well organized, great guide and equipment and they were available throughout the safari for changes as airline schedules are prone to change.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Savannah Explorers
Our experience with Savannah Explorers was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and helpful. Every question we had was answered with detail and care, thanks to Micky. The entire booking process was smooth and transparent, and we felt confident and supported throughout.
Once in Tanzania, the service was outstanding. Our guide John was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife, which made every game drive exciting and educational. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the itinerary was perfectly paced with a great balance between adventure and relaxation.
We were amazed by the diversity of animals we encountered in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire thanks to John’s sharp eyes and his deep understanding of animal behavior. Accommodations were thoughtfully selected, offering comfort, great food, and beautiful settings.
In terms of value for money, Savannah Explorers truly delivered. The quality of the service, attention to detail, and unforgettable experiences far exceeded our expectations. This is a company that genuinely cares about its guests and takes pride in creating meaningful safari adventures.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and passionate tour operator in Tanzania!

phenomenal
We had an unforgettable 3-day Safari experience. The parks we visited are truly unique, and the places where we stayed are immersed in nature, offering a deep sense of peace. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Our guide, Tarta, was always there for us—he made sure we never lacked anything and greatly enriched our experience. He told us not only in detail about the animals we encountered but also about the lives of the local people living in the villages.
Despite the long journeys, Tarta was always willing to take us even to the most remote corners of the parks to ensure we had a truly unique experience.

Great experience
Everything was well taken care of and went smoothly. It was awe inspiring to see all the animals and observe their behavior in their natural environment. Our guide Ismail was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals, and we really appreciated his expertise. He had a lot of fascinating things to tell us all along the way. He was also very knowledgeable about where to find the animals and how to spot them. The lodging was very comfortable and pleasant, and the staff at each lodge were very welcoming. They were very accommodating of dietary restrictions for the meals. The Land Cruiser we rode in had extra cushions to make the seats very comfortable, plenty of drinking water, and even a charging station. Ismail drove in a very safe, careful way, which we very much appreciated. It was a fascinating trip. Overall, the value of the service provided was excellent, and we would recommend Savannah Explorers to others based on our experience. If we have a chance to return, we would be very happy to have Ismail as our guide again.

Wonderful and Experienced staff - well planned itinerary
We had an exciting and well planned trip. Our guide was experienced and safely navigated the various routes and wildlife interactions. The staff were very courteous and great hospitality overall. As vegetarians our dietary needs were met reasonably well with.The Ngorongoro Mountain View Lodge was beautiful offering scenic views. The triple room we were in had a rug under the bed which was not gripping the floor surface, which may lead to accidental fall. Additionally, there was no phone in the room to call the staff in case of emergencies.
Fortunately, we saw all of the Big 5, an unforgettable experience for us, thanks to our wonderful guide Semle who was an excellent tracker, highly knowledgeable, and expert driver. We are highly content with the experience overall.

A dream come true.
The safari experience was simply perfect.
Stephen, in addition to being a very professional and truly knowledgeable guide, is also an extraordinarily kind, generous, and welcoming person. It’s clear that he loves his country, his land, and his job, and he does everything possible to make the vacation unforgettable.
He speaks several languages well, knows all the animals of the savannah, and the secrets of Tanzania.
We couldn’t have wished for a better guide.
