Big Five Safari in Tansania

Thanks to Savannah Explorers, we have realized our dream: after months it is still difficult to tell in words what we experienced. Since meeting our guide, this has been an unforgettable journey in Tanzania. Our guide Sokio has been a fantastic adventure companion: we established a friendship with him that still lasts today. Together we have discover all secrets and soul of the forest, he was always very helpful and ready to let us live us the best adventure of our life. Everything has been organized perfectly respecting each of our needs and desideres: we could not hope to have a better guide than him. We have laughed and sung together, searched for animals living the forest and joining our time together. We will keep the beauty of this nature and journey forever in our mind. I am really convinced to say that this has been one of the best experiences I have had in my life! Choosing Savannah Explorers, means Hakuna Matata!

We are senior couple from US, and started booking our trip almost a year ago. Samwel was wonderful to work with, answering all our questions. We booked a 9-day Safari, including foothills of Kilimanjaro, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and finishing up in Zanzibar. All of our accommodations were great, and the Game Drives were beyond our expectations. Without a doubt the best part of our safari was our Guide/Driver, Jon. Jon is a true professional, with incredible knowledge of the Parks and the Animals. His vehicle was clean every morning, with cold drinks and a custom "field lunch" each day. We were able to see so many animals due to Jon's skill and experience. One other thing I appreciated about Jon was his respect for the parks we visited. The Toyota vehicles are big and powerful, and Jon was always careful to avoid any damage the grasslands when maneuvering the truck. A few days on the beach in Zanzibar was a nice way to wrap up our trip. The Ngorongoro Lodge is modern and comfortable, and set in a beautiful location. Before departing Serengeti, we were treated to a look at the new Lodge being built in central Serengeti; it is beautiful! Believe it is set to open in July 2025. For us, this was a trip of a lifetime, and I had a wonderful experience with Savannah Explorers.

La nostra guida Evarest, che ci ha accompagnato per 6 giorni attraverso quattro meravigliosi parchi nazionali, è stato il valore aggiunto al nostro soggiorno in Tanzania. Ci ha sempre fatto sentire al sicuro e a nostro agio e ha tenuto in considerazione le nostre preoccupazioni. Grazie alla sua ottima conoscenza della lingua italiana ha condiviso con noi tutto ciò che sa riguardo agli animali incontrati e alla cultura locale. Riguardo all'organizzazione, la tipologia di accomodation e l'itinerario ci hanno soddisfatto. Segnaliamo solo che al Kifaru Tented lodge nel Serengeti la camera family prenotata e confermata per la prima notte non era disponibile al nostro arrivo al campo tendato. Ci è stata assegnata per la seconda notte solo dopo varie insistenze nostre e l'intervento della guida.
