They were easy, quick, flexible, and created an amazing safari experience!
5/5

I requested a quote only a couple days before the dates for the trip, and they did an amazing job booking everything quickly and exactly as advertised. Peter was the driver and helped set everything up and did an amazing job driving in very muddy conditions where other vehicles got stuck. He also went out of his way to talk to the rangers and make sure we saw a cheetah at the very end at our last chance. I definitely recommend this company and to go on a safari with Peter!

Reliable service, fun and adventure
5/5

Before booking, I had no idea what I would get. I found Lucy online and I just went with the flow. Well, I had a really life experience to be honest. The safari was great and the people I met were awesome, we had a blust! So much fun, I will never forget it. Thank you so much Lucy! Kenya is an amazing country!!

Everything was absolutely perfect!!!
5/5

We booked our dream Safari for our Honeymoon with Lucy. Lucy was from the beginning till the end very professional, kind and made our wishes come true. Our driver and guide Alex was excellent! He was always in a good mood, brought a lot of energy, told us very interesting facts about each animal, about Masai Mara and Kenya in general. We enjoyed the trip very much, learnt a lot and had an amazing time! We stayed at the Jambo Mara Safari Lodge in a Glas room, which we really loved. All in all we had an unforgettable trip, amazing people, great accommodation, great experiences! I can only recommend Savannah Woods Safaris.

Excellent services
5/5

It has been absolute pleasure having Savannah as our tour partner for 3D masai mara safari. Lucy helped us from the beginning with customized quotation, good deals and other information about masai mara. One of the best things which I loved is timely response across all queries. Also, our tour guide Alex was wonderful to be with in those 3 days and he tried to show us the best spots throughout our journey and also helped with few food related issues with the lodge. Overall a great experience and 100% recommended!

5/5

Excellent tour. I did 3 days 4 nights in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Would recommend and don't miss Lake Nakuru. I traveled alone and was placed with other travellers from other tour companies. The entire group was lovely.

Peter was our driver and was a great guy. He was often late for pickups which is understandable given the factors that go into an elaborate tour.

Unfortunately we missed a wave of the great migration by a week at Masai Mara. We did see the Big 5 despite this. Peter was very knowledgeable.

I would recommend staying at the Lake Nakuru Lodge. It was the highlight of my tour. Great service and scenery. Excellent food.

Lucy was beyond exceptional. She was attentive and thoughtful. She checked in with me and when mistakenly paid twice she went out of her way to refund me. Grade A service!

Amazing experience.
5/5

We're just back from an amazing 3 day safari in the Masai Mara. Lucy was brilliant, everything from the professional quote she issued, to her timely responses to my questions. She explained everything so well and made the booking so easy. Our driver was Anthony, who is an exceptionally experienced and skilled driver. After a huge thunderstorm with extremely heavy rain he was able to get us to waterlogged parts of the park that other drivers could not, even stopping along the way to rescue another vehicle from the mud. He made it his priority that we saw all the animals and his sharp eyes ensured that we did.
We stayed in Jambo Mara Lodge which was perfect. The glass lodges are exactly like in the photos!
We had an amazing experience and I would not hesitate in recommending Savannah Woods Safaris.

5/5

I would like to thank Alvin who was our guide for 3 days in the Masai Mara. He managed to pass on his passion for the savannah to us in such a short time. Alvin was helpful and always listened to us. He was flexible on pick-up times. ultimately alvin is a funny and passionate person. I loved spending this stay with him. I recommend it. The Savannah Woods company was also impeccable. All my questions were answered and everything was organized perfectly.

MAGNIFICENT
5/5

My wife and I did a 5 day Safari which we organised with Lucy who was very helpful.
The value for money was excellent.
We cannot recommend our guide more highly Dennis was Magnificent. He went the extra to always get us in the best position as quickly as possible hence we got some magnificent photo opportunities.
We also did 2 Days in Nairobi in addition with Dennis.
One piece of advise avoid doing any tours on the last day of school term as all venues are over run by school children to the point you cannot get access as they have compulsory excursions before they can break for end of term.

Superb!!
5/5

It started with Savannah Woods Safaris when I received the package quote from Lucy Wangui. She was very helpful and accommodating. She gave me all the details of the tour and answered all my questions.
Upon arrival at the Nairobi Airport, Alex, our tour guide & driver greeted us. He was so helpful with our luggage. He made sure that we are very comfortable.
We can considered Alex as Mr. Webster about Maasai Mara. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the wild animals of Maasai Mara park.
It is worth the value of money as we had an amazing experience
We will highly recommend the Savannah Woods Safaris to our friends.

Amazing!
5/5

This was my first time traveling solo. I chose to come to Kenya for a tour of the Maasai Mara with Savannah Woods Safari. The company was wonderful at keeping in touch with me both before my arrival and checking that all was well during my adventure. Alex was my guide and I cannot say enough to complement his kindness, professionalism, knowledge and dedication to being on Safari with me! He was always punctual (even when I was not) with a clean touring van, filled with bottled water, ready to go. Every day I knew clearly what the agenda was for that day and the next. He was always inquiring as to what my expectations were and what I wanted to see or do, when I wanted to eat, get up, needed a washroom, etc. He clearly knew the other Safari drivers and they all worked together to ensure we saw a huge number of animals and birds. I always felt safe and loved just talking with him in the van. I am such an introvert, I dreaded that the most, but talking with him and spending time was so much fun I looked forward to it!! Don’t Hesitate to Book!
