Always great!
I have used the services of CKC Tours many times - individually and as part of a couple. They are always reliable, friendly and helpful. The driver/guides are wonderfully knowledgeable. CKC will customize your tour and accommodate your suggestions as well as make great suggestions for you to consider. We have become friends!

Great safari experience - highly recommended
This was my first safari experience, and it was amazing! We did the five day safari through Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti. I'm really glad I went with these guys - Maturaf and Alex were incredibly responsive and easy to work with before and during the trip, and our driver, Amani, was great in spotting animals and giving us a perspective on the parks, Tanzanian culture/history, and sharing his knowledge of the animals with us! We had our own vehicle (that seats 6), even though it was only two of us, which gave us a ton of space in the vehicle and flexibility to stop and go within the parks as we pleased.

Avarage quality honeymoon
The communication before departure was slow and sometimes not efficient, during the trip I had no response from them at all. Overall the trip was good, but not excellent as anyone expect for honeymoon. The company did not respect the itinerary we agreed upfront, the fridge in our jeep was out of service and the guide tried to took advantage of us more than once. I am sure there is better on the market.

Very Good Service
Savannah Explorers fulfilled all of our safari wishes. Prior to the trip I was nervous about paying the full amount upfront and they were understanding and helpful, suggesting various methods by which we could all be comfortable and get what we want. Our pickup was smooth and extremely prompt, and they allowed us to store extra luggage that we would not need on safari at their office. Nickson, our guide, was excellent, we could not have been happier with his service! We saw absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more, not in small part due to Nickson's skill and vigilance. In addition he was a good companion, pleasant company with a lot of knowledge about the environment and animals we were experiencing. We would have liked more time in Ngorongoro, but not at the expense of anything else we were able to see, perhaps just a more efficient route. All in all I would recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone looking for a quality safari on a mid-range budget (they may well be good at all budgets, I can only speak to ours).

Excellent! Fantastic! Completely exceeded our expectatives!
100% recommended. We had a 10 day Safari in Tanzania. Everything worked out fasntatic and it was even better than what we have expected. Al timings were perfect, their recommendations on what to do, how to do it and when to do it were flawless. You could see a real know-how of everything on this guys. Also, one of the good points of this agency is that its Tanzanian owned and controlled which means that al the profit stays in the country. Our guide (Max) had a lot of experience and could detect things happening miles away, also had a great relationaship with other guides, so he was always infromed of the highlights that were happening in other parts and we could get there fast. Very nice guy. Finally, all the lodges that we stayed in were "out of this world"! Also, Tanzanian owned with the highest standards Ive seen in a LONG time. Congratulations and keep working like this!

Day trip to Mikumi was great!
After paying the initial deposit online e, we were asked to meet with them the day before to talk about logistics and pay the rest of the money that we owed. This was useful because then they knew where to pick us up in the morning. We were met at the scheduled time and had no mishaps all day during the trip. We saw wildebeests, water buffalo, elephants, zebra, impala, giraffe, crocodiles, hippos and baboons. Lunch was good and included in the trip fee. We were also given a case of water and plenty of snacks. It was a very long day and worth it if you're only in Tanzania for a short time. Otherwise we would recommend doing a multiple day trip through Hello Tanzania. This tour guide service was great!

Beyond the expectations
Regarding the price was lower, i prepared myself to have poor standards. But I was wrong, We did a full 4 days of Safari, the places that we stayed amazing view and service. Camping with hot water, some places has Wi-fi. Our chef and the guide was nice. We met with some people they paid more than us to another company for the same plan. Even, our tour was included the airport transfer which is strongly recommended in Tanzania! Roads are bad and airport taxi is expensive.
You can reach Seth by e-mail or phone during your trip, they will solve any issues.
We didn't know the amount that we should tip the guide and chef. That could have been advised us before. We decided to pay daily 10 usd per person.
I have searched many organizers, trust me this is the best with a budget plan.
