Wonderfull experience!
Our experience with Savannah Explorers was absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations.
We travelled as a couple and explored some of the most incredible places in Tanzania, including Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. From the very beginning, everything was extremely well organised, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey without ever having to worry about the logistics.
We were particularly impressed by the accommodations and by the warm hospitality of the staff at the lodges belonging to the Orangi Collection. The properties were beautiful, welcoming and spotlessly clean, and the staff were always kind, attentive and genuinely welcoming.
Our safari experience was simply unforgettable. Being surrounded by such breathtaking landscapes and witnessing Tanzania’s incredible wildlife up close was a truly magical adventure. A special mention goes to our guide, Tarta, who was absolutely fantastic. He spoke excellent Italian, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was always attentive to our wishes and interests. He did everything possible to make the experience special, adapting the itinerary and activities to what we wanted and making sure all our expectations were met.
We also felt that the price we paid was very fair for the quality and variety of the experience we received. Considering the organisation, the accommodations, the level of service, the private guiding and the incredible places and experiences included in the trip, we found the overall value for money to be excellent.
Thanks to the professionalism, kindness and passion of everyone involved, our trip became even more memorable and gave us moments that we will cherish for a lifetime.
We highly recommend Savannah Explorers to anyone looking for a serious, reliable and professional company to discover Tanzania. Everything was handled with great care, from the planning and accommodations to the safari itself and the people who accompanied us throughout the journey.
Thank you, Savannah Explorers, for making our Tanzanian adventure truly unforgettable.

Very cool.
We did the 4 days safari. From Dar es Salaam to Nyere National Park, Driving to Mikumi Parc, back to Dar Es salaam. It was a very special experience. Something we never forget. We met the amazing Gladness and Abed. Gladness was our very professional and kind guide, she know a lot about flora and fauna and we learnt a lot from her about the nature and animals. Abed was our driver, very calm and nice energy, the sweetest guy. Couple of tips before you go: Snacks are limited as in, no snacks. if you want to bring little snacks you should. Be aware of long driving hours. You will be all day in the car. If you drive to the other parc, it will be much longer. Maybe best to pick 1 parc. Also remember, you are not in Europe or America, the cars aren't up to those standards, these are cars that have to go everyday on wobbly roads. So please be ready to shake around haha. Daude is very communicative and you will get an update everyday about your schedule. Thank you for this experience.

Excelent from the beginning to the end!
We had a fantastic 3 day Masai Mara journey. Our guide Kaisaine was just the best: very friendly and with an incredible knowledge of the area. We saw all big 5 more than once. Highly recommend.

An absolutly exceptional trip
Tanzania showed us its very best side: dreamlike wildlife and nature, breathtaking landscapes, and friendly, welcoming people who shared their customs with us. It was an unmatched blend of nature and culture that will be hard to beat. This magnificent experience was only possible thanks to the excellent work of our guide-hosts, Denis and Daniel—they make a perfect team! Congratulations to both of you for your great professionalism and for giving us this gift of a lifetime. And a huge thank you to Ozon Light Tours, and especially to Letson, for making it all happen! The organization was absolutely perfect!

great trip, excellent responsive service
This was a really great trip. 2 day safari from Zanzibar to Tarangire and Ngorogoro crater.
Everything was organised really well by Brian who was always incredibly responsive and flexible throughout.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nungwi early (4.30am) and taken to Zanzibar airport for transfer to Arusha. We were then picked up and transferred to the safari jeep and taken to Tarangire, where we saw elephants, lions, zebras, buffalo, meerkats, warthogs, wildebeest and a very curious giraffe all very close up.
Our guides Omar and Alex were excellent.
Our second day was at the Ngorogoro crater and felt a quite different - but equally special - experience with it being a vast plain. We even managed to see Rhino, a (failed!) lion attack on a zebra herd, hippos, coyotes, flamingos and so many other big animals all living together.
Our flight back was at 8.30 from Kilimanjaro airport and we got to the hotel for 11pm safaris didn't feel rushed despite the long travel distances

Like a best friends
We communicated via messages. First of all, their replies were incredibly fast. Because of this, I was always able to quickly resolve any anxieties or questions I had. I was worried about when they ever got any rest. And they were always there for me, supporting me. It was such a kind and warm response, as if we were friends. And it wasn't just one person; I interacted with two people, and both were equally warm and helpful.

Wonderful!
The safari was wonderful.
Clear communication, efficient transfers, and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our guide made sure we saw all the main animals in the park.
Highly recommended!

Outstanding service
A 5 star holiday that was everything we expected and more. Every event was planned seamlessly with the perfect balance of beach and safari experiences. We will definitely use ExPlore Plus again for forthcoming holidays.

Thank you for organising one of the best tours of my life🤩
* Overall experience: Excellent. I had a wonderful safari and my overall impression of the company is very positive. Everything was well organized from beginning to end.
* Organization: On the first day, an agent personally briefed me about everything — what to do, what to wear, payments, timing, and what to expect. Communication was clear and professional.
* Guide: Our guide, Lucas, was great — friendly, professional, and almost always perfectly on time. A couple of small delays were completely understandable due to circumstances beyond his control.
* Vehicles: This is the main area that needs improvement. Our car broke down twice, and the first breakdown cost us a couple of hours. I would strongly recommend investing in newer and better-maintained vehicles.
* Driving: I completely understand that roads in national parks are rough and mostly off-road — that is part of a real safari. However, driving around 60 km/h on very bumpy roads sometimes felt too fast. Slower driving would make the experience safer and more comfortable.
* A lucky accident: Because of the first breakdown, we entered the park later than planned, but it actually gave us an amazing experience — we saw an active leopard walking around in the evening, rather than sleeping. So something good came out of the delay!
* Food: The food was fine, but it was almost exactly the same every day. For a multi-day safari, more variety in the menu would be very welcome.
* The group: I was also incredibly lucky with my group. We came together completely by accident but quickly became really good friends, and sharing the safari with such wonderful people made the whole experience even more memorable.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this company. It was a beautiful, well-organized and memorable experience. With newer vehicles, slightly slower driving on difficult roads, and more variety in the food, it could be even better for future travelers.
