Best Safari!
5/5

Our first safari and visit to Kenya/Africa was an amazing and unforgettable experience. We contacted several safari companies and chose Savannah Woods Safari because we felt we could rely on Lucy, who very kindly responded to all of our questions and requests with great care and professionalism. Lucy and Josphat gave us safari souvenirs the day before our trip began, which already made the trip special.

Henry, our safari guide, made the experience truly exceptional. He constantly communicated with other guides and helped us find the animals we most wanted to see. Thanks to him, we were able to witness incredible wildlife, including lions—a family feeding on a buffalo and a mating couple—leopards emerging from the bush and walking toward us, as well as cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, and beautiful sunrise and sunset. The bush lunch under Henry’s favorite tree was one of the highlights of our trip!

We had a 5-day safari, starting from Maasai Mara and continuing to Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. Lucy arranged everything and it became our lifetime experience!

Day 1: Departure from Nairobi, arrival in Maasai Mara, and an evening game drive (Accommodation: Sarova Mara Game Camp)
Day 2: Hot air balloon safari and a full-day game drive (Sarova Mara Game Camp)
Day 3: A full-day game drive (Sarova Mara Game Camp)
Day 4: Departure from Maasai Mara, Maasai village visit, and a game drive in Lake Nakuru (Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge)
Day 5: Boat safari and walking safari at Lake Naivasha, and dropoff at the airport

Great first safari!
5/5

My teenaged son and I traveled to Kenya for our first ever safari, and it was a wonderful experience! I did a ton of research beforehand, and Savannah Woods was one of the few operators that was able to give me everything that I was looking for and also fit our budget. They replied promptly and made any requested changes.

We did a three-day safari in the Maasai Mara with Kenneth as our guide. Ken was amazing and had 14 years of experience guiding all over Kenya. He had a great sense of humor and was happy to answer all of our questions, plus he was impressive at spotting animals and was a safe and considerate driver. We were able to see lions, a cheetah, a dozen elephants, and more zebras and wildebeest than you can count. A great first safari experience!
