Reviews
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.
a well organised Kilimanjaro experience, with outstanding guides and a great team of porters
the communication about the various options was good, and the service received from all ( from the pick up at the airport, the drivers and especially the guides and porters) was great !
we did change the itinerary , in the last 2 days of the "Whiskey route", to suit our pace and needs, and the guides were very supportive. A special thank you note goes to Jerome for having taken us to see a doctor in Moshi, on our return, and still making it in time to the Kili airport !

It was very exiting, Roberto and his team created a great tour in a great land
Good communications with Skype to organize tour. In tanzania we talked with the manager who explained us very well our tour and how to stay with our guide. He told us to talk to him to understand the country e the culture of tanzania. The safari was really great

It was an amazing travel
We took a travel with our friends (two families) in Tarangire, Serengeti National Park and Ngorngoro with the Savannah Explorers. It was an amazing travel, deeply into the nature, very well organized.
Lodges and tendeed camps were clean, comfortable and the guys who followed us were very kind and polite.
We visited the parks by two out-road vehicles followed by prepared and availables guides. We have seen a lot of groups of animals migrating along the Mara river; it was an amazing experience such as have seen a leopard hunting and bringing its prey over a tree. It was an unforgettable scene.
We spent few days in the Ngorngoro Village Lodge situated on the namesake crater; there were an amazing view from there and it was so wonderful that it built in my mind fliyng feelings. We didn't waste a lot of time cause every movement along the path was perfectly scheduled. I can say that, even if it was my fourth safari in Africa, this trip was organaized very well and everything it has been beyond my expectations.
Have a wonderful travel in Tanzania to everybody!

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.

Selous and Ruaha
My friend and I had a very good experience with Savannah Explorers.The organisation of our Safari was excellent. We chose the camps that we wanted to visit based on information obtained on the internet. Some of the animals that we read that were abundant chose not to come to our party.Their absence was disappointing ,however other animals put on a good show and at the end of seven days the consensus was that we had a successful safari again. This was my fifth and I will be back for more in the future.Tanzania and its people treated us well.

Amazing safari experience with very knowledgeable and friendly staff
We spent 7 days with Savannah Explorers and had a wonderful time. David, titled 'Lucky David' by one of the camp managers, was our guide and he sure lived up to his title. From the very beginning we saw giraffes and elephants up close at Lake Manyara. In the Serengeti we were lucky enough to see 4 of the big 5, including a lion kill! In Ngorongoro we saw 2 black rhino. Savannah Explorers made this trip happen in an enjoyable way by having guides who are so friendly and knowledgeable and knowing the camps that provide great service. Roberto and Grayson, the managers of SE, were also great. They were very responsive and helped us organize the safari efficiently, as well as checked in on us while we were there. They were very flexible and able to quickly help us with some additions to our initial safari plan.

Nice guide, the jeep could be better
We had a week safari in Tanzania on Dec 2015. Our guide was excellent, italian speaking, very nice. The tour was ok, the jeep could be much better, it was old and not really comfortable for 8 days of safari. A couple of times we had some mechanical problems and we had to stop waiting for the repairs. I understand that this can happen but probably this jeep needs to be replaced.
Picnic lunch every day (except one) is repetitive and unappetising, at the end we preferred fruit and biscuits.
The first safari days we managed to get in the parks just around noon and this means seeing the park during the hottest hours of the day. Furthermore, the arrival in the various lodge took place in the late afternoon letting us run to take a shower and go to dinner. Probably a better organization of the journey and the travel time would have made us visit the parks at their best and enjoy a little relaxation once you get to the accommodations.
Again: our guide Peta was fantastic, we saw lots of animals.

Posted on Feb 10, 2016Hi Francesca,
thanks a lot for your feedback and comments.
Rough roads are terrible in Tanzania especially inside the parks, despite our effort to prevent any breakdown you experienced a problem and it was necessary melt it at lunch time.
Our jeep is not a new one, but Land Rover is the best jeep for safari, all the different parties have been changed, we do regular maitenance at our garage, there is a lot of space inside as it's semi-extended, there is fridge with drinks and water, to my mind it's in good conditions and comfortable.
I have mailed different time to lodges and camps about pic-nic lunch, we hope they will improve but you have to take into consideration you are in the middle of the bush.
The first day you left Arusha to Tarangire and spent the rest of the day in the park, second day Tarangire to Manyara for game drive, then you were in Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We have followed your safari program and you have agreed program in advance and the timings with our guide.
It's common finish the game drive in late afternoon but you could ask your guide to drive to the camp/lodge earlier. I have talked to you and Peter during safari and asked Peter to make sure you have enough game drives so that we compensate the 2 hours lost for the jeep.
We are sorry we didn't exceed your expectations, we review again your safari in our office and see what we can improve. We apologize for what happend and thank you again for your feedback and time.
Best Regards,
Roberto
