Well organized and reliable that goes beyond expectations!
5/5

Savannah Woods Safaris went above and beyond. We had an EXCELLENT experience at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve thanks to a well planned an organized schedule. Choosing Savannah Woods Safaris as our preferred travel agency for the trip was a worthwhile decision. We will definitely be coming back for future bookings and of course share our experience(s) with our network. Keep up the GREAT job.

A safari dream
5/5

Our safari adventure began when we contacted Savannah Woods Safari and from the very first message we knew we were in good hands. Lucy was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful, answering all our questions and making sure every detail was taken care of. What impressed us most was that her support didn't stop once the trip started! She continued checking in and helping whenever needed, which gave us great peace of mind.
We chose a 6 days safari trip, covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken.
A huge part of that experience was thanks to our guide, Papa John. He is truly exceptional. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife and animal behaviour was remarkable, and his ability to spot animals was nothing short of incredible. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see all of the Big Five, including a leopard, which many visitors never get to see. He always seemed to know exactly where to be and when, giving us amazing wildlife sightings and fantastic photo opportunities. Beyond that, he was friendly, professional, passionate about his work, and made every game drive enjoyable and exciting.
The Sopa Lodges were also excellent. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious and varied, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable.
We would highly recommend this itinerary, Savannah Woods Safari and especially Papa John as a guide. If you're lucky enough to have him leading your safari, make sure you clear plenty of space on your phone or camera, you'll come home with hundreds of incredible photos and unforgettable memories!
Thank you, Lucy and Papa John, for making our dream safari a reality.

Perfectly organized and unforgettable safari with an amazing team and guide!
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing experience on our safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru! Everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end.

The hotels were beautiful, the food was great, and every person we met during the trip was incredibly kind and welcoming. A very special thank you to Lucy, who organized everything so perfectly. She always made me feel safe, was constantly checking in on us, and responded incredibly fast whenever we had questions or needed anything. Her communication and support throughout the whole trip were truly exceptional.

And of course, a huge thank you to our driver and guide, Kikitu — he was absolutely AMAZING! He had the best energy, gave us so much information, amazing tips, and made the whole experience even more special and fun. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

If you book this safari, definitely ask for Kikitu — he truly made our trip unforgettable! We saw incredible animals, enjoyed stunning landscapes, and created memories we will never forget.

We highly recommend this company 10000000% and would absolutely book with them again when we come back to Kenya!

5 Star of hospitality & honesty
5/5

I and my wife joined 2days 1night Amboseli Safari, including 2 game drives. We chose Sopa Lodge, mid-range accommodation.
Before the Safari experience it self their hospitality had started.
Lucy, a operator lady is always helpful and honest. Also she replies promptly.
They offered reasonable price with good lodges from the first quotation. This made us stress-free.

We customized the plan as Nairobi - Amboseli - Namanga because we wanted to go to Tanzania after this Safari.
Lucy researched the detail information to cross the border by bus for us. This made us relieved very much cause crossing border is always sensitive.

Antony, our tour guide was also a nice guy.
He drove carefully and gave us the rich information about the animals and Amboseli.
He was also helping us to get the van from Namanga to Arusha (Tanzania). His help also relieved us a lot.

Overall it was wonderful experience!
We experienced not only Safari itself but warm heart and hospitality of Savannah Woods.
Thank you very much for your coordination.

Perfect
5/5

We did a group safari of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and a private safari of Amboseli and Tsavo West. Everything - since the beginning when we planned the trip - was perfectly arranged, on time and beyond our best expectations. The guides (David and Brian) were really amazing and we learnt a lot about wildlife. Lucy from Savannah was following our trip checking on us and I would recommend to anyone this tour operator!

Excellent service for both Masai Mara and Amboseli
5/5

Thanks Savannah Woods Safari for the great first time experience in Kenya! We booked 2 guided Safari with them, one group one to Masai Mara and one private one to Amboseli. All went very well and we enjoyed it so much. Lucy is great for all the communication and discussion before the booking, and also took good care and checked with us during our Safari to make sure everything goes well. Both of our guide James and Charles were also great, showed us a lot animals and explained quite a lot. Would highly recommend Savannah Woods Safari!!

Savannah Woods Safaris is a trustworthy operator that gave us the best experience in our lifetime.
5/5

I, my wife Noureen and our two year old had an experience of a lifetime with Savannah Woods! Lucy our tour operator was very professional and was in touch with us throughout our journey making sure she provides us with the best experience possible. Shoutout to our guide Jackson! Such a vibrant person with an incredible knowledge and sense of humor that made a 7 hour safari journey memorable. We were lucky enough to see a wide range of species in Kenya, meet and greet with the Masai tribe and get to know them and their lives in person. Hands down the best trip we had so far!!

Exceptional Safari
5/5

We embarked on a 7 day safari in Kenya with Savannah woods in December 2025. We visited Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru Naptional Park and Masai Mara national reserve.

We planned our itinerary with Lucy who was our point of contact throughout the journey. She was always responsive to our emails and messages. She also made very helpful recommendations to ensure we got the best experience.

Our guide/driver was Kevin. He was very professional and went out of his way to make sure we saw all the wildlife. Kevin always gave useful information about the wildlife and the parks. Kevin was always receptive to our feedback and made sure we had a good time. To ensure we saw the best wildlife, Kevin co-ordinated with other drivers as well. I highly recommend Kevin as a guide.

The vehicle(Toyota Landcruiser) was slightly dated and showed it's age. However that did not hamper our safari in any way! Having a modern vehicle will help this company go a step further.

Overall, we were very pleased with Savannah woods and recommend them. Especially our guide Kevin.
