amazing 7-day safari in Kenya & Tanzania with the best company
As you know , there are hundreds of companies operate safari , but what I would say , Mama savana is absolutely the best one.
After a long time dream of Africa , my wife and I decided to make the dream come true. We built a 2 couple team with our friend and his wife. This is our first time to be in Africa , our bucket list include: to take photos with animals on the MT. Kili background, to see the landscape of endless savanna, to witness great migration and wild killing. As our holiday isn’t ample, how can we realize this list? Mama savana helps come true.
We took a 7-day safari, the beginning was from Nairobi airport. When we arrived, George, our Kenya guide, was there early and welcome us warmly. He took us to Amboseli ,then Namanga border. It was a short but unforgettable tour. We saw the animals on the background of Mt. Kili, it was the picture I imagined and dreamed ever. We also saw the male lion, through he was old, stepping in the sunset with dust, toward his wives, how awesome he was! George accompanied us still we cross the Tanzania border, He is really a caring man, He was always glad to tell us about Kenya, about animal and what we interest. Through it’s only a short time, when we say goodbye, we all miss him.
In the Tanzania side, our guide/leader was Amani, an experienced and humorous guide. He took us to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We had seen the big 5, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, crocodile, Flamingo etc, Amani was a magician, whatever we want, he always showed us. Migration, wild killing, even mating (we had witness lion and zebra mate closely, it’s a very special experience ),all these amazing scene was vivid in my eyes. Amani was a kind guide, he always said “if you want to take photos, just say Amani, then car stopped”. And more, he was a excellent leader. He set the pace on safari, he knew when you can or you should have a brief without missing anything, he told you animal behaviour when you were enjoy your photo work, he would also interrupted your repeated photo works like zebra, gazelle,wildebeest,etc. and suggest you”let’s see something new”. He made you enjoy your safari and experience all things happen in this wild world during your short holiday, and you didn’t even feel a little tired.
People live in modern society maybe worry about the environment in animal kingdom. Just don’t worry and trust Mama Savana’s arrangement, condition of accommodation here is no worse than in your world, and much more special. You can sleep on a queen size bed, have a shower in hot water, view the landscape of endless savanna in your room. Even more, the food is beyond imagination, enjoy your delicious food, meat and beer, then forget the weight you gained.
Maybe there are companies operate higher standard safari with higher standard price to let you experience luxury. Mama Savanna let you experience raw animal kingdom in most comfortable way with reasonable price.They show you what the true animal kingdom is like and the animal kingdom never be luxurious.
Unforgettable memory, Mama Savanna Safari, highly recommend.

Amazing big 5 experience
We booked a 7 day safari tour through internet with Fredinah. The communication was very good and she was very helpfull. We did a bike tour through hells gate park and a boattour at lake Naivasha. (Extra cost). We saw the white rhino and the black at Nakuru National Park. Our good driver/guide Joseph is a good wildlifespotter. At the Masai Mara we saw in one day the big five. Many lions and a male lion with a deer in his mouth. A leopard next to our car and a jumping cheetah over our car. At Amboseli we saw Tim the biggest elephant and hunderds elephants walking with a nice clear view with the Kilimanjaro. Everthing was great and well organised. Thank you again for the great holiday.

The best trip I’ve ever been on. I consider Ken (guide) a close friend now
Outstanding. I had a tour booked fir Virunga, we found out about one month away that Virunga wasn’t going to open in time for our trip. CDS made some last minute changes and we went to Kahuzi Biega instead.

We truly enjoyed our safari
We had issues with our tour operator when we arrived in Tanzania. Our safari your got delayed by a day. My husband and I were really frustrated and annoyed knowing that a trip we planned almost 6 months ago wasn't going as planned. A friend of ours has contacted Wildebeest Safari and immediately our Safari guide contacted us and we were picked up from our hotel and were taken for safari.
I am really happy to write this review for Wildebeest Safari. As they were not only fast in reaching out to us, but was also very professional during our safari tour. Our guide Hamsa was very friendly. We know that we will go back for a Safari again with this company.

Great Experience!
Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Our guide, David was knowledgeable, experienced and attentive and had a great eye for spotting game. He was a walking encyclopedia of birds, animals and plants and we also learned a lot about Tanzania in the process. The communication we received from eTrip before the trip was great and we were very well prepared for our safari. Probably our best vacation ever and we travel a lot.

Amazing Safari Experience! Saw all big 5 in one day
They very responsive to my questions, and reservations. Booked everything from airport pick up to transport from Narobi to Moshi. Ask them anything and they will give you suggestions or help your trip to Kenya easy!
Had a great 3 day tour to Masai Mara Safari. Guide was very active on the radio to see the Big 5 and we were so lucky to see not only the big five but 2 fresh kills in one game drive.
5 Stars! I will come back to Kenya again to do Amboseli

Very fund 5-day safari
Had a great time with Viva Safaris. Did a 5-day, 4-night safari, with the first night at Tremisana Lodge and the last 3 days at Marc's Treehouse. The various drives and walks to see animals were fantastic. We saw tons of animals and had knowledgeable guides who could tell us a lot about what we were seeing (and find more animals for us). The trip to the animal rehab center was fun, too. All in all, the safari was very well organized by all the Viva Safaris staff. The food provided was also very good, and they were very accommodating with dietary restrictions.
The one negative would be the accommodations. Our room at Tremisana Lodge was in poor condition and the bathroom was basically in the same room as the bed. This may have been an outlier room at Tremisana, but it was still below expectations, particularly since Tremisana is supposed to be one of their nicer lodges. Marc's Treehouse also was a bit disappointing. Only a few of the cabins were true treehouses - the rest were just cabins made of bamboo and tree branches. And because the property is sprawling, some of the cabins are a 10-15 minute walk from the main lodge area, which was inconvenient and difficult to do with suitcases.
The staff at both lodges was fantastic, though, and helpful at all times. Viva was also helpful in planning the trip, and answered all questions ahead of time. Highly recommend using Viva for a South African safari, but I would keep expectations regarding accommodations a bit low.
