Perfect Safari
I chose Savannah Explores for our 10 days trip to Tanzania, and I’m someone who really cares about details. About six months in advance, I contacted more than 30 agencies on Safari Bookings, compared them carefully, and went through multiple rounds of questions and discussions. By the time I booked, I already had a good understanding of safaris. Savannah Explores still managed to exceed my expectations.
First of all, a big thank you to our consultant Agustin. Agustin was extremely helpful from the start. He understood our needs, adjusted the itinerary quickly, and gave great suggestions. Driving from Ngorongoro to Serengeti instead of flying turned out to be a highlight. We saw huge numbers of zebras and wildebeests, plus lions, cheetahs, and even a serval cat. When we had a last-minute change in group size, he also helped coordinate with lodges and minimized our losses.
Then we met our guide, Gerald, or Gerry. Honestly, I would give him a 10/10 without hesitation. He is warm, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. During drives, he constantly shared knowledge about wildlife and local culture, and even quizzed us in a fun way to see if we remembered what we learned. Later, even the guide at Asilia Namiri Camp complimented us and said Gerald must be a great teacher. Professionally, he is outstanding. His driving skills are excellent, and his ability to spot animals is incredible, almost like having built in binoculars. What looked like a tiny dot to us, he could immediately identify. In the Ngorongoro Crater, he managed to show us seven rhinos in one day, which we know is already very lucky.
More importantly, Gerald taught us something beyond just seeing animals. He showed us that safari is not about ticking off the lists or rushing for photos, but about patience and truly experiencing the wildlife. He never rushed us and was always willing to stay out late just so we could enjoy the moment a bit longer.
Thank you, Gerald, for your dedication, your quiet sense of responsibility. You made this safari truly special. My brother and his wife will be visiting Tanzania at the end of June, and I have already recommended Gerald to them. I am sure he will create another unforgettable experience.
Thank you Savannah Explores for respecting and truly caring about your clients. You gave us a perfect safari trip. See you again in Tanzania.

My lifelong dream was an unforgettable experience 🇹🇿♥️
Rafiki Tembo Tours provided me with one of the best experiences of my life.
The demonstration of their professionalism begins with their punctuality, allowing me to make the most of my day visiting Tangieri, Ngorongoro, and Manyara National Parks, which I had the privilege of exploring and witnessing incredible moments of wildlife. The perfect communication between all the guides at Rafiki Tembo Tours allowed for a real experience of unique moments of animal life in the jungle and savannah. The excellent photographic report captured unique and unforgettable moments of the excellent safari days. I must say that the visit to the Maasai tribe was incredible, as being able to watch and participate in their dances and customs was a pleasant surprise.
Moments forever etched in my memory. Thank you Rafiki Tembo Tours. I recommend Rafiki Tembo Tours' services for the professionalism and safety they provide to tourists.

Very good and friendly driver
We travelled from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit. Our driver, Joseph, was very helpful with the luggage and explained everything about the journey (route, duration, breaks). I felt very safe during the trip because he drove very carefully and calmly. Thank you again so much!

Value for money with this operator. We went on a safari with Christoph, who has been guiding for 19 years and is incredibly experienced. He seemed to know every corner of the Masai Mara, which made the whole experience even more impressive. His knowledge and confidence made us feel in great hands, and we got to see so much thanks to his expertise. Truly an unforgettable safari experience.

I made use of Erimpala safaris for three days. I like to see the common world of Africa. Plants and birds. I had seen several times the animals in the parks. Now I like to see the small things. Erimpala organised three days for me. We walked in parks of Arusha and we saw orchids inside the town. the other day we made a hike on mount Meru near Tengeru and the last days we went to see the Materuni waterfall on the Kilimanjaro.
I was very content.
They had good guides.

SP where awesome, the best guide!
We went to tarangire, ngorongro and lake manyara and it was incredible. Got to see every animal we wanted. Elli, the guide, was super nice, knew everything about the parks and animals and was very flexible, really a great guy. The company was great and answered fast, also value for the money! The one thing that was not the best was the lodge, I think that it maybe was our room in specific but it could have been fresher. Other than than, perfect.

Our August trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park with Zamunda Travels was an amazing experience! As a local female traveler with my two kids, I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the journey. Our guide, Blair, was knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with the children, making the trip both fun and educational. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend Zamunda Travels and Blair for a memorable family adventure.

Made our safari the best experience
The staff are super nice, accommodating, and flexible. They do everything they can to suit your needs and preferences. The guides of this tour agency are incredibly experienced — we always felt fully safe with them. Our guide Jack made our experience unforgettable by putting a lot of effort into finding all types of animals and showing us the very best of the safari drives.
We saw incredible wildlife, and Jack’s knowledge and enthusiasm really brought everything to life. The whole tour was well-organized, and we felt looked after from start to finish.
I would highly recommend this agency to anyone planning a safari — especially if you want a personal and high-quality experience. 10/10
