Unbelievable experience
We did a 5 day safari in Tanzania (visiting Tarangire, Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and it was a unique experience. Our guide Semle with his experience in the field definitely helped us to catch the big 5 very quickly. The accommodations were really good, beyond our expectations. Really high standard, all the comforts and most importantly, they were clean and the food was really good. The agency also supported us in our second part of the holiday in Zanzibar and managed to book us transfers from the airport and a great hotel in Matemwe (Villa Kiva). Once again the accommodation exceeded our expectations for the view, cleanliness, service and food.
We give 4 stars instead of 5 for 2 main reasons:
1) the trip was already very expensive (yes, and we knew it!) however, tips were “mandatory” every day as stated in a document from the agency 10 € per person per day. We are always happy to help but the agency should not force customers to give mandatory tips considering the overall cost.
2) the flight to Zanzibar was booked in the late afternoon so we lost 1 day of vacation with our guide going shopping (because we had nothing to do) and then he took us to the airport 3 hours early which was more than enough. We would have preferred a morning or mid-day flight.
Overall we are very satisfied with our vacation and Savannah Explorers is a reliable provider that we highly recommend ;)

I recommend
The tour was very good, as were the accommodations. The guides and drivers were truly fantastic. The only downside was the car, which was very old and made a lot of noise.

Really reliable for the total journey
Overall it is a good experience for the first time to Africa, all journey safe and sound without problems, the guide is a time management master equipped with all the animal knowledge. We have learned a lot throughout the journey.
Could be better if the guide is more aggressive for finding animals and lead the exploring part. Make the game drive as a real game and involve all the client joining in the exploring part

The guide was extremely prepared and knowledgeable but lunch services were mostly disappointing
Emmanuel gifted us with wonderful days and thanks to him we were able to see wonderful places and checked the list of all animals. He was prepared for any sort of situation ( he drove 12 hours straight in the rain) (was able to fix all technical issues with cars ex tiers etc). The only downside to comment on is the service we received during our picnic lunches. The food was poor and our guide differently from others did not prepare our table nor help us carry the lunch. There was no coffe no drinks etc

A very good safari
The safari was great. We got to see all the big 5 and many hunting scenes. Our tour safari Gerard spoke a good Italian and told us about the animals and the place while driving. What we really appreciated the most is that he told us not to feed the birds at the pic nic spot. That showed us that he was respectful of the nature and of the laws of the park.
Very good experience safari
The company has been professional, organizing a good tour on my requests and trying to satisfy my family requests, travelling with kids. Service has been good.

TRULY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
The tour has been very well organised, we got all the necessary info before leaving. On site we found 2 great guides (Ali and Mau) who gave us lots of explanations and has been very friendly. We were lucky enough to see all the big 9! The accommodation in the lodges and tent camps has been as expected, clean and very well organised, very good food (good variety and choice). It was our first safari, our expectations have been met. One of our cars had an accident so we had to stay all in one for half a day but we were able to continue our tour without missing any parts (poor Ali had to work hard on the car!).
many thanks, a great holiday!|

Amazing and well organised journney
The safari was well organised. Time allocated for each park was well distributed. The accomodations were all good except the hotel in Arusha, very noisy. We were impressed by the Baubab tent camp. Very nice...
Food in general was ok. However there is room for improvement, expecially the lunch packs. They could be better and more accurate.
Special remark to the guide. He was expert, very prepared on details about the animals, the parks and the history of Tanzania. He was also very keen to satisfy all our needs. He was smily and nice.

Very well organized Safari !
From the beginning communication with Roberto was very good. He gave us all info and details request and propose to us a "tailor-made" itinerary very well prepared. We really enjoyed our Safari at Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire with a nice guide (speaking good Italian).
