This was our 5th trip to Southern Africa.
Emmelyn and her team made everything perfect and enjoyable. We did a half the trip in lodges and a half in the camping. I highly recommend camping because it was an immersive adventure: we remained for one week without any Wi-Fi or Mobile Line in the middle of nature. The guys that were organizing the camp were the best, food was really good too ( I have to say that as an Italian, I was sceptical at the beginning but the chefs provided us with excellent food every day and with a great variety). Although it was the rainy season we didn't encounter a lot of rain and we were able to spot a lot of animals also with the high bush.
Emmelyn and Fred were always present and responsive for any clarification during the trip, and our guide Charles was just the best. I have travelled a lot and I know how important it is to have someone who knows about animals and nature when you plan a trip like this, and he is the person that you would like to have in those situations.
I highly recommend Savanna Safaris & Tours for your trip in Botswana, very professional and reliable. I will consider them for my next trip, there is no doubt about that. Thanks a lot again!

We booked our trip to Botswana and Namibia in 2019 for travelling 2020. Because of Corona the journey had to be postponed until 2022. For nearly 3 years Emmelyn could be reached at all times if we had any questions. In 2022 we did not had to pay an additional charge on the prices of 2019. All lodges and transfers by car and plane were excellent organized and even during the trip itself Emmelyn provided us with latest news.
Thanks to Emmelyn we hat a great safari tour and can hightly recommend Savanna Safaris and Tours.

Savanna Tours is a very reliable travel partner that showed excellent service during the planning phase and trip itself. Emmelyn was very flexible helping us out with our itinerary, provided solid suggestions and could be reached at all times if we had any questions/challenges we needed to sort out. Responsive and fun, thanks a lot!

In addition to being professional and responsive to our needs, the agency was able to deliver a an unforgettable trip to Botswana + Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe). We were traveling with a young child, so safety was very important as well as seeing the country/wildlife and we were never disappointed. All stops/hotels/safaris were planned and coordinated perfectly so we have not had any issues and spent all of our time enjoying the experience. We saw a lot of animals (lions/elephants/giraffes/hippos and more) at a fairly close but safe distance which was amazing. Thank you for organizing this trip!

If it were possible, I would give this agency 10 stars. We just returned from a beautiful trip to Botswana organized perfectly by Emmelyn. We are very happy to have chosen Savanna Safaris, which put together a perfect trip for us, from precise organisation to timely communication, managing the tented camp, and the staff who accompanied us. Our journey started at the Chobe River Front and continued to Savuti, Moremi, and Khwai. The incredible experience in the mobile tented camp went beyond our expectations. Spacious and comfortable tent, attentive staff always available for any need, a great chef who prepared unforgettable lunches and dinners, and our housekeeper who woke us up every morning at 5:30, prepared the tent, and ensured hot water was always ready for the shower. It couldn’t have gone better! Even when we had a big problem with our luggage upon arrival, Emmelyn immediately assisted us and solved the problem. Without her, we would have never managed. This trip was the gift for our 20th wedding anniversary. Spending it in a magnificent country with special people was a dream. A special note for Willie, the guide, who did everything to get us the best photos as we are amateur photographers. His great experience allowed us to find all the animals we hoped to see and to take photos that look like postcards! I highly recommend everyone to visit wonderful Botswana with Savanna Safaris and Tours and try the fantastic experience of a mobile tented camp with a skilled and capable staff. We will return, as promised, and we can’t wait!

I can highly recommend Savanna Safaris & Tours! We booked a 10-day trip through Botswana through Emmelyn. Value for money was very good and Emmelyn had everything perfectly organized, was very responsive (felt like 24/7 via whatsapp) and we had a memorable trip.
Thank you Emmelyn for the wonderful memories and pictures we were able to take with us from Botswana.

Fred and Emmelyn made this a truly unforgettable trip. First they were extremely accommodating as we worked around COVID restrictions and went out of their way to address and requests or concerns we had. They truly took care of everything - which means a lot when heading to a far away destination like Botswana.
The campsite was tremendous, the food was delicious, and they took care of all our needs. And the best, of course, was providing an experienced guide/driver that put us in great places at the right times to see Botswana's abundant wildlife. I learned so much about Botswana and the animals we saw and will never forget this experience.
If you have ever considered going on a safari, do it.

We only had one week in Botswana and Emmelyn made it an unforgettable trip. She organised everything perfectly and was available any time (before and during the trip) to answer our questions. We had a great time starting 2 days in Savuti in Elephant Lodge. We flew to the Delta (Moremi) from there and had 2 amazing days in Okuti. After those days a straight flight into the Kalahari where we finished our trip in Dinaka. All three places very different from another and would highly recommend to see the different landscapes and mammals.
Once again a big shout out to Emmelyn since she did a great job making this trip unforgettable!

That was the most amazing holidays we have ever done! We are extremely happy with organisation, communication and logistics during the journey. Our trip started in Victoria Falls, Chobe and Moremi. In all locations we felt welcomed, taken care of, we had the most amazing meals, conditions in the hotels and the camp were out of expectations. We could never imagine better treatment.
I was pregnant 4 months while travelling to Botswana. Stuff made sure that I have everything I need, I drink plenty of water and eat healthy. During camping, we were positively surprised how excellent service was. We really miss local dishes that were prepared by K&J. I attached the pictures of it. Whenever we needed, there was access to hot shower, always snacks were ready for us, tent was cleaned every day with supply of the amenities.
My husband had celebrated his birthday during this trip. The stuff made us huge surprise, they sang and the Chef K&J baked a delicious cake. My husband felt like 'at home'. That was really memorable moment.
Our guide, Willie made sure that we have the best experience with wild animals ever. He had extremely good knowledge about it and he was able to trace lions, leopards and other animals. We would choose him again for the next trip.
The rest of the team and Edna, included mechanic that made us feel really safe during this trip.
Once again, I really recommend Savanna Safaris and Tours. We hope that we will be back soon with the same stuff.
THANK YOU!

Thank you for your professionalism. The whole trip was planned smoothly, everything was on time as you scheduled for us. I will remember our trip to Africa forever. Amazing views of the sunset and sunrise, unforgettable smells of nature, different animals that were very close to our car, but most importantly it was safe. Lodges and food were amazing!!!
