Absolutely amazing from top to bottom
I cannot overstate how amazing Savannah Tours were for our Masai Mara 3 day tour from Nairobi. Lucy, one of the marketing managers/tour coordinators helped me nonstop and was in constant contact via WhatsApp. She, William, Stanley (our drivers) and of course Alex our tour guide were just amazing. So helpful, so friendly. Everything went off perfectly without a hitch.
I booked the tour with Sopa Lodge accomodation which I could not recommend more. The service, food and lodgings at the Lodge were truly 5 stars - western 5 star standards. There was an incredible buffet for lunch, breakfast and dinner and even a mini buffet for tea. The food was outstanding - so fresh, so much flavour and so many varieties. They even had cheese and dessert stations!
The Lodge itself is one of only a few lodges adjacent to the Reserve and had the real African authentic feel. The service people there were out of this world - never had better service in my life and I have travelled all over the world.
The safari! Just insane. Alex our guide was so accomodating and warm, punctual and just the best. We saw so much wildlife even in the 2 hours in the late afternoon on the first day - not even the main day! Zebra, lions, leopard, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, hippos and so much more. Of course the full day the next day you see so much and are very close to the animals.
Then finally on the last day we visited the Masai village to see how they live, eat, dance and create. We joined in a traditional dance and learned a lot. It was a very authentic experience.
I would recommend ensuring you have enough cash for tips and purchases as the Masai create wonderful artwork, wood carvings, jewellery and blankets. Just be prepared that as a westerner I definitely felt the perception that we had a ton of money and could just buy and buy and buy. That said, this is a great way to give back and allow Kenya’s economy to flourish.
I could not recommend this tour more, especially for the price. This was also my first time in Africa and of course Kenya and was an experience I will never forget. I will definitely come back!

Very well organized safari and Musa is the best!
We had a private safari booked with 4 people for 3 days. The communication upfront with Lucy was excellent. She reacted very fast and to the point on all questions. The lodge where we stayed was great: very clean, luxurious and very good food, friendly people. Our guide Musa was the best! Experienced, knowing all people and places to go to, we spotted a lot of wildlife, and a very good driver. Overall we had a great experience!

The best safari I’ve ever been!
Highly recommend the savannah wood company, the best safari I’ve ever been. The driver was very dedicated to his job and showed us so many animals from very close distance. He had a huge knowlende about Masai Mara National Park. The best time I’ve ever spent! Hope to be back again!

5 star all the way. Extremely professional and accommodating.
A truly amazing experience from start to finish. We were picked up in Nairobi by Kevin on day 1. He dropped us at the airport on Day 4. Throughout we were treated like kings. Kevin is an excellent driver and extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. He was able to show us animals and experiences that were beyond anything we anticipated we’d be able to see. We actually gained a greater appreciation for everything Kevin was able to do when we took a dawn balloon ride. While the ballon flight was well worth doing, we expected to see great amounts of animals from the air, but saw very few. This shows how skilled Kevin is at finding the truly spectacular sights. We really didn’t realize how close we would be to these animals when we booked this trip.
On our way to the Maasai Mara, we stopped at a Maasai village where we were greeted warmly with dancing and learned about their culture.
Working with Lucy was smooth and Savannah Woods was very accommodating as we booked everything via email and internet. She booked us into the Entim Private camp which was simply amazing. Fantastic views, spectacular food and their service was worthy of any 5 star hotel in the world. Nightly visits from hippos, elephants and lions rounded out the experience.
Lunch beside an acacia tree out on the savannah was only topped by the last night’s “sundowner” where we enjoyed wine and snacks as the sun was setting. All arranged by Savannah Woods Safaris.

Brilliant, adjustable for your needs and easy to communicate with
I would like to say a big thank you to Savannah Woods Safaris and, mainly, my key contact person - Lucy!
She was always responsive, listening and adjusting an itinerary according to my wishes and places i want to visit. She even help me to amend my trip (on the way) and extend it to Amboseli, which was not planned initially.
Our guide and driver Denis was also one of the best! We were lucky to see big hunting of lions tribe for the buffulo in Masai Mara, catch double rainbows on the way, to see flamingo dancing, locate ourselves exactly on the background of elephants and Kilimanjaro to take best photos.
Many thanks to all team! And wish you best tourists ever!

Unforgettable Safari with the Best Team!
This was our very first safari in Kenya, and thanks to Lucy and our guide Kevin, it became an unforgettable journey!
When we first reached out to book the safari, Lucy was incredibly helpful—she responded to all our questions quickly and thoroughly, which made us feel very reassured, even from faraway Japan. She was also flexible with the payment options, which made the whole process smooth and worry-free.
During the safari, we were deeply grateful for Kevin's outstanding guidance. He picked us up early in the morning to match our flight schedule, and from that moment on, everything was handled with care and professionalism. His calm and friendly attitude, exceptional driving skills, and sharp eye for spotting wildlife allowed us to see every animal we dreamed of—and more! Whenever we were captivated by a particular animal, he gave us plenty of time to watch and enjoy without rushing us. It was such a peaceful and fulfilling experience.
If you're considering a safari, I wholeheartedly recommend Savannah Woods Safaris. They truly made our trip the memory of a lifetime!

Amazing!
It was a great and pleasant experience dealing with Savannah.
Lucy helped in all the arrangement in making this trip smooth sailing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to postponed our trip, she was very understand and accommodating
Our guide, Peter had an incredible ability to spot animals we never would have notice on our own. The game drives were interesting and fun. He was at his best to fulfill all request and very patient in answering all our questions. That said, we experienced issue in time management. For both mornings we did not pick up on agreed time and there was no update.
Despite this, we still had a great time with Peter and we enjoyed the services by Savannah.

Excelled at Meeting My Wants
George is a great guide. I was on a private tour with him for 4 days/3 nights. I am an avid photographer and tend to have wants that are somewhat different than the typical Safari guest. First of all I have done too many safaris to count. Secondly I want to stay at one place longer than most would - waiting for that perfect shot. George was also great at finding great opportunities for once in a lifetime photos.
Everything from the customization of the tour through the execution to my eventual departure for Zambia was perfect. Thank you and I will be looking forward to seeing you again.
Easy communication and nice tour
The communication with the operator was smooth, the guide was an excellent driver. Overall the tour was very nice.
