We returned a few days ago from the third consecutive Serengeti safari with Savannah Explorers, after the great experiences of 2022 and 2023, always of a week and in the second half of July. Also this year we had a great time and we can confirm that Savannah offers everything you need to organize a perfect safari: prepared and motivated guides, Land Rover in very good condition (this year we had a brand new and really beautiful jeep) and systematically checked by their mechanics, an efficient office, ready to meet different needs (they designed us a tailor-made safari) and any emergencies (the Ethiopian Airlines had lost our hold luggage on the outbound trip and they recovered it, making it arrive at the facility where we were staying in the Serengeti after a few days). Our Guide was, as in the previous two years, Abia Simon, whom we now consider a friend and about whom we do not have enough superlatives: excellent knowledge of the Italian language, extraordinary observer of the nature of the Serengeti, who really knows how the streets of his home and passionate about his work. Our main goal was to see My Saves animals, lions: we saw some wonderful ones, perhaps among the most beautiful seen in our many stays in Africa, with National Geographic documentary sightings. Majestic and imposing adult males with spectacular mane, beautiful lionesses with their cubs, in different areas of the park, even the most remote and little frequented. We stayed at three different properties: one night at the Marera Mountain View Lodge in Karatu (owned by Savannah), three at the Signature Luxury Tented Safari Camp (Makoma Hills area) and the last three at the Kifaru Luxury Tented Lodge (Ikoma area, also this property is owned by Savannah). All excellent and comfortable. Little else to say: impeccable. Highly recommended.
