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!

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.

Wonderful experience
Everything went exactly as planned. We had a great safari with our guide Steve, who knew how to find all the animals and see them up close. The SOPA lodge is really perfect.

Experiencing Safari in its Truest Form
The safari organized and conducted by Savannah Woods Safaris, under the guidance of Mr. Moses, was highly professional and meticulously detailed. We, a group of four, had an incredibly pleasant experience and were able to have unforgettable memories. We were lucky enough to spot four out of the Big Five game animals, largely due to Mr. Moses exceptional spotting skills and experience.
The hotel selections by Savannah Woods Safaris did not disappoint. The itinerary was followed to the letter and everything was punctual. We never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Our well-being was always the top priority of Ms. Lucy and Mr. Moses. All things considered, I can wholeheartedly recommend the team at Savannah Woods Safaris and wish them all the best. We will definitely be returning to find and spot the last missing Big Five game animal.

Very good safari
We had an excellent 3 day safari with Savanbah Woods. The Ashnil hotel had excellent service, good food and the best thing was the permanent smile of its employees. Anthony, our game driver really tried hard to show us the Big 5 of Samburu and he succeeded. Thank you very much Anthony for making us have an incredible vacation.

Responsive, accommodating, adventure!!
Had an EXCELLENT experience coordinating with Lucy for our 4 day 3 night safari. Lucy was very responsive and quickly sent out multiple quotes based on different accommodation budget/types, so I had options to choose from.
I definitely recommend going for their budget tent camp option, Mara Olodare. Way better than the Lenchada camp that the others in my group went to. Incredible food and hospitable staff! We had an amazing stay.
Great tour groups as well, and tour guides that were flexible on what the group wanted to do. Value for money was great.
