Simply incredible
5/5

My girlfriend and I had an incredible trip organised by Lucy. Our guide, Sam, was excellent and truly made the safari legs special. We did a custom 10 day safari spanning Nairobi, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. We finished with a trip to Galu Beach on the coast, also organised by Lucy.

Communication and booking was incredibly easy, Lucy was very responsive via WhatsApp and I particularly liked that she was happy to tell me if my suggestions were no good, and offer alternatives. She actually listened to what I was asking and managed to suggest and carry out my ideas. This resulting in a competitively priced itinerary that was busy, allowed us to see a lot of Kenya, and was just amazing.

We were greeted at the airport by our guide, Sam, in a clean and comfortable safari Land Cruiser who throughout our time on safari was exemplary. He was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, never had an issue with any requests and was happy to be lead by us, or lead himself. I cannot overstate how brilliant Sam was throughout our trip, he made it really really special, and was a big reason it was one of our favourite trips ever.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

Our safari was truly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our honeymoon! ❤️ Everything was absolutely wonderful, from the incredible wildlife encounters to the beautiful lodge and the amazing hospitality throughout our stay.

A very special thank you to our guide, Brian, who went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. You could really feel how much effort and passion he put into his work. He did everything he could to make our safari special, and we are so grateful for that.

The lodge was absolutely beautiful, and the entire team made us feel so welcome. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay perfect.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was well organized, the people were amazing, and the memories we made will stay with us forever. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a truly special safari. Thank you for making this part of our honeymoon so magical! 🐘❤️

Henry was an outstanding guide throughout our safari. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about Kenya’s wildlife, landscapes, and culture. He was also flexible, approachable, and easygoing, which made every part of the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

An unforgettable safari experience with Savannah Woods Safaris
5/5

Our experience with Savannah Woods Safaris was incredible and exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, Lucy was extremely responsive, patient and helpful, answering all our questions quickly and understanding exactly what we were looking for.

Our guide, Sam, was absolutely fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and the parks, and we learned so much from him, not only about the animals, but also about Kenyan culture and the different communities. He clearly loves what he does and made a huge effort to understand our priorities in each park and adapt to our wishes.

The game drives were unforgettable. We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, and had incredible sightings, including a leopard and a black rhino in Maasai Mara, as well as both white and black rhinos in Lake Nakuru. Sam’s knowledge of the parks and animals was impressive, and he always knew where to go while keeping our preferences in mind.

The 4x4 Land Cruiser was comfortable and in very good condition, and everything was perfectly organized and punctual throughout the safari.

We would 100% recommend Savannah Woods Safaris to anyone looking for a safari in Kenya, whether it’s your first safari, a couple’s trip, or a safari combined with other activities. We would absolutely book with them again.

Thank you so much to Lucy and Sam for making this trip truly life-changing, amazing and unforgettable!

An exceptional agency, attentive and highly professional, that helped us create a tailor-made safari
5/5

An unforgettable experience! ❤️🇰🇪

A huge thank you to Savannah Woods, and especially to Lucy, for her support from start to finish. Organising a trip to a country you don’t know, in a language you don’t fully master, can be quite stressful. But Lucy was always available, attentive and full of great advice. I really appreciated being able to communicate with someone so dedicated, who took the time to answer all my questions and take all my expectations into account. Thanks to her, we were able to have a completely tailor-made safari, exactly as we had imagined it.

A huge thank you as well to Nicholas, our guide and driver throughout this week travelling through Kenya’s national parks. He gave his all every single day to help us discover as many animals as possible and make sure we had the best experience. Always cheerful, passionate and attentive, it was a real pleasure to see him every morning and set off on another adventure together. I will have wonderful memories of this week spent with him.

Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East… incredible landscapes, animals I never thought I would be able to see so close, and above all, memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I can only recommend Savannah Woods to anyone looking for an experience like this. Thank you for everything! Asante sana ❤️🇰🇪

Excellent organisation and experience
5/5

The safari we booked with Savanah Woods was very well organized from the very beginning. First, we received a detailed itinerary, so we knew exactly what to expect and when.
Communication was smooth, quick, and very friendly. Everything was carried out exactly as described in the itinerary.
In particular, I would like to highlight our guide, Mr. Alex, who was always friendly, warm, and dedicated to making sure we had the best possible safari experience. Thanks to him, we were able to see not only the Big Five, but even the Big Nine!
The only thing that could be improved would be a little more direct communication about what happens on the day itself (driving times, duration of stops, etc.).
Overall, it was an unforgettable safari experience, and we would definitely book here again!

The Right Partner for your Safari needs in Kenya!
5/5

We were recommended by a dear friend in Nairobi to Josphat of Savannah Woods Safaris. Right from the beginning during the time of booking, the communication was superlative, polite, professional and emphatic to our needs. That service carried on when we landed in Nairobi at 5.45am on Sep 2 where we were first warmly welcomed by our guide Moses and then Josphat himself came over to wish us a great safari ahead.
Moses then took over an exhilarating 4 and half day trip for us, starting with Nakuru and then 3 days in Masai Mara. All the days were different, brilliant and once in a lifetime experience. Moses is funny, knowledgeable about animals and the right way to reach them. He made our trip extremely special by ensuring being present at the right time to capture the best moment for us on every occasion.
There are so many highlights to mention…flamingoes and rhinos in Nakuru…
lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos ….all basking in their elements.
A bush picnic lunch provided by our excellent hotel Zebra Valley.
A morning hot air balloon experience followed by champagne and an elaborate bush breakfast.

Ah…the list could go on.
Suffice it to say that you are in good hands with Josphat, Moses and the team at Savannah Woods Safaris. Will highly recommend them to anyone wishing to experience their once-in-lifetime Kenya trip!!
