We absolutely loved our tour. I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled a lot and this trip immediately shot to the top of my list of one of the coolest/best trips I’ve ever been on. As part of our trip, we requested going to the Serengeti to see the Great Migration and we could not be more happy that we did!. I highly recommend Savannah Explorers and our guide Evarest. Our group was three women in our early 30s. The trip was organized perfectly. From picking up each of us individually at the airport (including accommodating two of us who had flights that were delayed by more than a day) to drop off, we didn’t have to think or worry about anything other than enjoying ourselves. They gave us options for different hotel packages depending on our budget. We *loved* staying at Nyota Luxury Camp and Lake Masek Tented Lodge and we also liked Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge.
Most importantly we loved our guide, Evarest! He was professional, thoughtful, good at picking up on how we were feeling & planning/adapting our days accordingly. He was kind, had a good sense of humor, we felt he was always dedicated to us having the best experience possible from the beginning until the end of the very long days, etc. As three women, we felt we were in great hands with him. If I remember correctly, he’s been doing this for 15 years and knew the unmarked/bumpy roads of the Serengeti like the back of his hand. He was a great driver, and clearly has a lot of love and respect for Tanzania and the wildlife. And most importantly he was GREAT at spotting animals (guides from other tour companies would sometimes stop Evarest on the road and ask where to find the big cats that day). To be fair, it was my sister who planned the whole trip so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the variety and proximity of animals we saw exceeded any and all expectations I could have had. We were able to get so close to all the beautiful animals while still feeling like we/Evarest were respecting them. It really was a dream come true, it’s making me want to cry just writing this haha. Thank you Evarest!
