Amazing Solo Safari Experience at Amboseli!
5/5

I was looking for a tour to Amboseli when this operator popped up. They provided a clear quote with transparent fees and a detailed itinerary. It was a 2-day, 1-night stay at Ol Tukai Lodge — such a beautiful lodge with a great atmosphere! (Beware of the monkeys.)

Lucy was in constant communication, which made me feel safe and well taken care of throughout the tour, especially since I was traveling solo. The accommodation was great, and the food provided was good as well. I had the car all to myself, so it wasn’t crowded at all.

The game drive was fun. Anthony, my guide, was a fun and flexible guy. I also requested Lucy to arrange dinner at a local eatery before my flight, and had the best Nyama Choma!

Pro tip: Shop at the Ol Tukai Lodge gift shop first before heading to Goldfinch Curious Arts & Gallery. Some items, like caps and shirts, are cheaper at Ol Tukai — and you don’t have to haggle!

Savannah Woods planned and provided a holiday exactly as we planned with good communication.
5/5

We spent a lot of time planning the trip with Savannah Woods, they helped us to plan the trip exactly as we wanted it to our budget. Their communication was good and they responded quickly to enquiries. Once planned, the trip went as planned, the guide we had was absolutely fabulous and Savannah Woods checked in with us throughout the trip to ensure all was going well. It was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very good with our 6 year old. He made sure we got the most out of our trip but did it in a relaxed but professional manner. We were so sad to leave him and Kenya.

Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

Our Masai Mara safari was truly the trip of a lifetime, and that is entirely thanks to our incredible guide, John. From the moment we set out, he made every second special. On our very first game drive, he somehow managed to show us nearly the entire Big Five within just a few hours, something we never thought possible. His sharp eye for spotting wildlife was unbelievable, and he always positioned us perfectly to take in the best views and capture amazing photos.

The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration. We had a 3 day safari so we were so incredibly lucky that John was able to get us to see it! John’s knowledge of the animals, the land, and the Masai Mara itself brought everything to life. He didn’t just show us the wildlife; he taught us their behaviors, the history of the park, and even small details that made us appreciate the safari so much more.

John’s warmth, patience, and passion for his work was incredible. He always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having the best possible experience. His enthusiasm was contagious, and you could tell he genuinely loves what he does.

If you’re considering a safari in the Masai Mara, do not hesitate book with this company and ask for John. He turned our adventure into memories we will carry for the rest of our lives. Best guide ever, without a doubt!

Savana Woods is the real deal
5/5

I want to split my review into 3 part.
First of all, Savana Woods is the real deal!
A professional company with the best customer service I have seen! Lucy is just amazing! Always available, happy to help, proactive I am just speechless! I had issues here and there, she took care of every little thing I had with such patience and grace it was just pleasure!

Second is the trip, highly recommended! We saw plenty of animals even on the low season, cheata hunting, plenty lions and lioness, elephants, giraffes, hippos and many more!
Evans the tour guide was always helping, considering and fun.

Third the mara sopa lodge was a good option in a good location, the food was great with many options and the food biz for the Safari day was also excellent!

Thank you Savana Woods for an unforgettable experience!!

Excelled at Meeting My Wants
5/5

George is a great guide. I was on a private tour with him for 4 days/3 nights. I am an avid photographer and tend to have wants that are somewhat different than the typical Safari guest. First of all I have done too many safaris to count. Secondly I want to stay at one place longer than most would - waiting for that perfect shot. George was also great at finding great opportunities for once in a lifetime photos.
Everything from the customization of the tour through the execution to my eventual departure for Zambia was perfect. Thank you and I will be looking forward to seeing you again.

Wonderful experience
5/5

Everything went exactly as planned. We had a great safari with our guide Steve, who knew how to find all the animals and see them up close. The SOPA lodge is really perfect.

Experiencing Safari in its Truest Form
5/5

The safari organized and conducted by Savannah Woods Safaris, under the guidance of Mr. Moses, was highly professional and meticulously detailed. We, a group of four, had an incredibly pleasant experience and were able to have unforgettable memories. We were lucky enough to spot four out of the Big Five game animals, largely due to Mr. Moses exceptional spotting skills and experience.
The hotel selections by Savannah Woods Safaris did not disappoint. The itinerary was followed to the letter and everything was punctual. We never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Our well-being was always the top priority of Ms. Lucy and Mr. Moses. All things considered, I can wholeheartedly recommend the team at Savannah Woods Safaris and wish them all the best. We will definitely be returning to find and spot the last missing Big Five game animal.

Very good safari
5/5

We had an excellent 3 day safari with Savanbah Woods. The Ashnil hotel had excellent service, good food and the best thing was the permanent smile of its employees. Anthony, our game driver really tried hard to show us the Big 5 of Samburu and he succeeded. Thank you very much Anthony for making us have an incredible vacation.
