Unique journey
I did Tarangire National Park in one day. We got to see elephants, giraffes, boars, monkeys and even lions which is not common in Tarangire. The guide, Mike, was very communicative and kind.

Very beautiful lodge and nice people
The very exciting moment in our honeymoon trip was safari! I loved it. Only few things needed to improve:
1) very low electricity in lodge (you cant even charge your phone and we had no light 2 days from 3) and
2) last day walk safari was less then 1 hour because we needed to go to ferry at Dar es Salam (but I wrote it when booked tour), I was upset because it was very interesting, and guide was brilliant!

Great service for our group!
After many back and forth email communications to create the ultimate itinerary for our group we were very happy to finally get on our way. Our group of 30 was very pleased with service, accommodations and guide (Machiel) on our 7 day tour of South Africa. Tanja (African Savanna Travel) had everything organized smoothly- hotel check-ins were very smooth with keys already labeled for us on arrival- we rarely took more that 5 minutes to check in the whole group of 30. All of our activities were great and communication between Machiel and our destinations was constant so that we would waste no time on arrival. Machiel was continually in contact with our next stop to let them know our ETA and make changes on the fly. This made everything go very smoothly for us. On top of all the regular tasks, Machiel also assisted one of our group members to make travel plans for a family emergency that arose part way through the trip. Janet was able to rest easy knowing that Machiel was helping her make connections every step of the way - above and beyond. I would certainly use African Savanna Travel again for my touring needs.

Enjoyed 1D-2N trip to Nakuru and Naivasha with family
The trip was very well managed. Safety and convinience was primary concern. Pamela gave personal attention to all our needs. Overall we enjoyed it.
I wish we had a better price point... may be it was high season period hence not in control.

loved it
I loved our safari trip at selous game reserve a lot! the food and accomodation were very good and halal, which was important for us. Furthermore, we loved our guide! We did not like the bush walk and the village tour..

Amazing experience
It was unbelievable for us to be so close to animals i've never before seen in their natural habitat. Our guide was very good at helping us identify and learn about the animals and the beautiful, unique birds we saw on our safari. This was an experience we won't ever forget.

Necessary but tirying
We went on the 6-day safari. Most of the animals we saw were in Masai Mara, we could see the big 5 in one day. However Amboseli and Lake Nakuru were more beautiful. I think you should go to see those too (the Kilimanjaro views are amazing). The big inconvenience is the distance between the parks cause it takes half a day to get from one to another and sitting in the car for so many days is exhausting and not comfortable. The other objection we had was our guide, Ali. He didnt explain anything, he was not very nice and when we talked to him about a problem he responded us in a bad way. These people have to know that we pay a lot and come from very far to enjoy that trip so we just want to enjoy what we paid for. He was unrespectful to me with the things he said. That was not nice and we didnt feel comfortable. The last days he changed and started explaining some things and being friendly. Accomodations in Masai Mara and Amboseli are tented camps, they say there's hot water but its cold, but the place itself is not bad (except Amboseli, cause there were many insects in the tent and the mosquito net was full of holes). Food is ok, buffet with some meat, rice or pasta and veggies and fruit.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Inés
You can see the big 5, there're lots of animals in this park as it is the big one. However the scenic beauty is not as amazing as in Amboseli or Lake Nakuru.
