He was amazing. His knowledge was so good. You can really recognize his passion.
This was one of the best tours we've ever had. We learned so much from our guide and the homestead where we went. They were very organized our guide really knew what he was doing. He answered all our questions and we got a tour of the homestead by the people who live there and it was amazing. Very pretty and awesome.

Great private experience :)
Shoes and team was very prompt with response from planning/booking the trip. The entire experience my wife and I had was really excellent, from the private dining with chef Desmond (whose food really helps fighting the home sickness while camping), game drives were well planned and we had encounters with 4/5 Big 5! With two leopard encounters :)
It was a really unique yet fulfilling experience!
Do give Shoes a chance to plan your private safari experience! (the tents do get quite cold in winter, though extra blankets were provided but good for everyone else in the future to be ready!)

An exceptional experience with Amani
We had an incredible time on our journey from Tarangire National Park via the Ngorongoro Crater to the Serengeti National Park, with Amani from Kanje. Amani is an absolute expert in his field, with an impressive 12 years of professional experience as a safari guide. He knows the national parks like the back of his hand and is well connected with the other guides! This means he knows the best spots to see animals or gets important tips on where the animals are at any given time. In addition to the incredible wildlife and scenery, his big laugh and warm demeanour sweetened every day!
After 6 days on safari, filled with wonderful memories, we had to say goodbye with a heavy heart. We will always be overjoyed to look back on this wonderful time in Tanzania – it was truly an unforgettable experience!

Outstanding experience, that was made even better by our tour guide Vincent!
This was an absolutely incredible trip! Right from the beginning being greeted by Vincent our tour guide and driver. He was happy, cheerful and so incredible helpful and knowledgeable. He navigated all the things we wanted to do each day and made the trip so simple. He was never late, in fact always waiting for us, and always with a smile on his face. The lodge we stayed in was equally amazing and everything just clicked. We had zero issues, and there is nothing about our trip that i would change. We are so grateful for the experience and memories that were created!

Perfect Safari
We had a perfect 3-day safari with Jerry as our knowledgable guide! He was great company, a great driver, and was the first to find "honeymooning" lions and lots of other treasures of the Serengeti. The company even helped us getting our luggage that had been delayed by the airline. Highly recommend!

The most wonderfull and excting experience
Our 6 day safari to Tanzania was great and unforgetable. Amani, our driver, did the great job and we have seen all great 5 animals. He made the safari more interesting and exciting. The whole safari was worth every penny spent on it and we will definetly do it again.

Very responsive and great value for money
Lucy was very helpful and always very quick to respond to our questions and requests.
Our driver Evans was great, very friendly and reassuring. He knew the park and other drivers well and was able to get us really close to lions and even an elusive leopard. He went out of his way to help members of our group catch their flight on the way home.
The tented lodge was great for our needs and we were fed well.
For a more budget friendly package we would definitely recommend Savannah Woods safaris.
The only thing I would say that could have been better was that in our group we had members who had booked with different operators and were staying in other accommodation. This meant we didn't get to socialise in the evenings which was a shame but also meant we spent half an hour in the morning and evenings picking up and dropping off everyone from their camps. I appreciate the scheduling won't always work out but I would have liked to have been aware in advance.
Very well organised tour
We booked a 3 day gorilla trekking tour online with Fred and had an incredible time! Ronnie picked us up from the airport and took us to different activities planned around our timings and interests, was really nice and a great driver. Everything went really smoothly with no surprises. This was my 12th country visited in Africa and probably the best experience I’ve had.

Organized, thorough, professional
Excellent at communicating with me in a timely manner. The driver was knowledgeable and very accommodating. He drove safely and was a lot of fun. Rwanda overall is an excellent location for any westerner visiting East Africa for the first time since the infrastructure and organization is excellent. 10/10 from me.
