Paul K2024-01-14My wife and I planned and recently completed a 5-day private safari with this tour operator and if you are considering booking with this company, I recommend it! I am so glad I got to book with them because I had the best time ever with African Savannah. The lodges were breathtaking, I was thoroughly impressed! The itinerary itself was packed and allowed us to enjoy all the different excursions in Tanzania without having to worry about the logistics. All the places we stayed in were wonderful with great staff themselves. In the lead-up to the trip, communication was extremely responsive, and they made sure all the arrangements were correct in planning the right vacation for us. The safari itself was surreal, our guide was super knowledgeable providing so many interesting and cool facts. He knew exactly where to go to spot the animals up close! We were able to spot the big 5 which was so cool! Our chef provided very tasty meals each day which had us in awe. Everything was very professional, from the organization to the handling on-site and the implementation. For my first safari, this exceeded my expectations and went beyond. I look forward to booking with them again in the future. Thank you once again for making the safari beautiful and memorable.

The accommodation was fantastic and the activities organised ; hot air ballooning and meeting the tribes were amazing experiences. The communication was so reliable and precise, the team was so attentive to all our needs and arranged things for us, that we will never forget doing as a family. They did such a fantastic job to ensure we had a truly memorable time. Our guide Eli was so friendly, by the end of the safari we all become friends. I can't help but sing Eli's praises!

Narina S.2023-10-19Es war unsere Honeymoon Reise und es hätte nicht besser sein können. Elisante hat von Anfang bis Ende alles perfekt geplant und ist direkt auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Zusammen haben wir die beste Zeit unseres Leben gehabt. Zweimal hat er es geschafft das wir die seltenen Nashörner gesehen haben. Die big Five haben wir gleich am zweiten Tag schon auf unserer Liste abhaken können. Er hat so viel Geduld und wartet in Ruhe bis ihr eure Fotos gemacht habt. Sein Wissen über die Savanne ist einmalig und man lernt so viel über das Leben der Tiere. Wir danken dir vielmals du bist ein toller Mensch, Elisante!
