Amazing ! Jackson Best Guide !
It was an amazing experience with Jackson — he took the time to explain everything and helped us find the animals in the Masai Mara. We spent two nights at Enchipai, an absolutely wonderful place with truly wonderful people. We will never forget the kindness of Jackson (our guide), Kip, and the entire Enchipai team.

Great time would highly recommend!
The tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and attentive, and because of this, lead us to see a lot of animals at close range which we wouldn’t have. The jeep itself was a slightly older model than others on the road. The seating and inside was quite worn, meaning one of us had no above head handle and there was no support in the seats. The accommodation at the lodge was good - the breakfast and dinner was not as expected but there was a buffet to choose from. We were also aware the cooked chicken leg had been in the hot Jeep all morning. Overall it was well organised and we were well looked after. The group was great with a lot of personalities.

AMAZING
I had the chance to go on a 3-day safari in the Maasai Mara with Savannah Woods Safaris, and the experience was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish: transport, game drives, accommodation, and meals. The food at the camp was excellent and varied, which made the stay even more enjoyable.
A big thank you to Lucy, who was always available, attentive, and caring. You can really feel that the team does everything to make you enjoy the experience to the fullest. Thanks to them, I had an unforgettable time in the heart of the savannah, in a safe and welcoming atmosphere.
I highly recommend Savannah Woods Safaris to anyone wishing to discover the Maasai Mara in the best possible conditions!

Perfect, worry free safari in Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru
I booked a Savannah Woods 4-day Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari in conjunction with a work trip to Nairobi. Having never been to Kenya before, I wanted something all-inclusive and worry free. The communication throughout the process was great. I was in consistent communication with them via WhatsApp. On the day of the safari, their driver picked me up at the hotel on time and took me to meet Andrew, my safari driver, and the group who would be on safari with me for the 4 days.
Andrew was incredibly experienced and well informed. We saw so many awesome sights that I wasn’t able to experience on my first safari to Kruger NP. Andrew’s instincts were impeccable, timing our stops to witness a leopard prepping a buck in a tree and pulling it down out of the tree, a pride of lions feasting on a downed water buffalo, and a serval basking in the sun. Following the safari, Andrew handed me off to a driver to take me to the airport.
Post safari, I was to head to Zanzibar for a few days and come back through Nairobi on my way back home. Savannah Woods even offered to hold my large luggage (for a small fee) while I was in Zanzibar. I took them up on the offer and they held my suitcase at their office. The driver remained in contact with me via WhatsApp and confirmed he was waiting for me at the Nairobi airport well ahead of my scheduled arrival. He met me at the check in line for my outbound terminal with my bag in hand.
Savannah Woods provided top-notch service from booking all the way through the safari and beyond the safari through the end of my trip to Africa. I enthusiastically recommend them for anyone looking for a worry free safari experience in Kenya.

Memorable
We had such a wonderful experience with our safari driver, Brian! He was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable throughout the day. His great personality made the trip even more enjoyable, and he was incredibly patient with us.
Brian went above and beyond by securing tickets for the elephant nursery, which was such a memorable highlight. Afterwards, he took us to a nearby bead manufacturer where we learned about the process, watched the ladies perform a joyful dance and song, and I even picked up a beautiful bracelet as a keepsake.
To top it off, he brought us to a local market where we found some amazing souvenirs to take home. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and added so much to our overall experience.
I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for not just a driver, but a guide who makes the journey special!

Great communication and great tour
Our tour guide Philip was very professional in his work. This was a great experience and wonderful memories in Maasai Mara. Lucy was a great operator and always responded quickly and took everything in the right way. I will recommend Savannah Woods Safaris to my friends.

Experience of a lifetime!
Our Masai Mara safari was truly the trip of a lifetime, and that is entirely thanks to our incredible guide, John. From the moment we set out, he made every second special. On our very first game drive, he somehow managed to show us nearly the entire Big Five within just a few hours, something we never thought possible. His sharp eye for spotting wildlife was unbelievable, and he always positioned us perfectly to take in the best views and capture amazing photos.
The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration. We had a 3 day safari so we were so incredibly lucky that John was able to get us to see it! John’s knowledge of the animals, the land, and the Masai Mara itself brought everything to life. He didn’t just show us the wildlife; he taught us their behaviors, the history of the park, and even small details that made us appreciate the safari so much more.
John’s warmth, patience, and passion for his work was incredible. He always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having the best possible experience. His enthusiasm was contagious, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does.
If you’re considering a safari in the Masai Mara, do not hesitate book with this company and ask for John. He turned our adventure into memories we will carry for the rest of our lives. Best guide ever, without a doubt!

Wonderful and smooth experience
I had a wonderful time with Savannah Woods. I did a joining, 3-day Masai Mara safari as I was short on time. I was able to see so much in that short amount of time. I would absolutely come back and do a second safari with Savannah Woods. Lucy was extremely responsive and helpful with my last minute booking. She made the whole process really smooth and easy. Our driver, Jim, was the best driver and always got to the front of the cars so we didn't get dust in our faces. Thank you very much Lucy, Jim, and the whole Savannah Woods team!

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.
