A Trip To Remember!
We had an extraordinary experience! The tour was very well organized. The staff was great to accommodate our family (we were traveling with a 6 months old boy!). We really appreciate our guide and its respect for the nature. You will have a wonderful experience with East African Voyage!

Amazing experience
I did a 5-day safari with my mother in June in Taranguire, Ngonrongonro, and Serengeti. We went for a private tour just for the 2 of us. We had such a great time ! Stephen, our safari guide was so dedicated, we saw everything we could dream of. He took time to give us tons of very interesting information about animals, Maasai culture and so much more. I was really impressed by his kindness and his generosity. I strongly recommend the experience.

New year eve on top of Kilimanjaro through Machame route.
One of the most amazing week of my life. It is an incredible experience that I recommend to everyone. Making it to the top is an additional bonus, but the whole week is just worth giving it a try. EAV has an awesome team with them. From the guides to the porters, everyone is very professional, competent, supportive and just so nice. The quality of the materiel, of the food, of the organization in general was way higher than we expected and it made the trip so much easier and enjoyable. Every camp site was just so much fun to stay at. The office was very helpful and try to accommodate all of our needs. I would just say that we were maybe missing a bit of information on the exact equipment to bring (we had to rent some once we arrived in Arusha and it is sometimes as expensive as buying brand new from home), as well as on the tipping system after the hike (hopefully we had some cash with us on the mountain). It was all very worth it and a great way to enter 2016. Thanks to everyone from EAV who made it perfect.

From day one I felt I was in good hands and very lucky to be with great people
When looking into booking my climb to Kilimanjaro I was overwhelmed by the amount of companies all promising the best experience. I came across EAV on the list of government approved and regulated companies. I found the communications with Faith from the office extremely efficient, helpful and crucial to my preparation stage. When I arrived in Kilimanjaro and met the team (2 guides and driver) I automatically felt in good, safe hands and was comfortable and excited for the climb. During the 7 day hike the team of 2 guides and 19 porters went above and beyond to ensure our experience was a safe, comfortable and positive one. I found our lead guide, Alex a very skilled and effective leader. It was clear to see the team felt supported and encouraged by him which had a positive knock on impact on the moral within our team. Alex and Yasser kept our safety paramount and our spirits high. Without this team I have no doubt my experience would not have been as special. I celebrated my 30th birthday while on the mountain and the team, laid by Alex made this extra special by organizing a cake, dancing and singing with the whole team together. This was an exceptional day, one I will never forget and it is all thanks to the extra effort and energy the team put in. I can not fault EAV at all I was very impressed by their service before, during and after the climb. The company have excellent staff who take very good care of their clients. Thank you very much to all involved for this incredible experience which I feel honored to have had.

Excellent Serivce
Everything was great. We had an amazing team on the mountain. Every day the camp was set up by the time we arrived, the food was always hot and delicious, and everyone was incredibly friendly. Our safari was in Serengeti, and we stayed at a beautiful tented camp and saw a ton of animals. Highly recommend going during the Wildebeest migration.
EAV was never late, never forgot anything, and stuck closely to the itinerary but let us make changes as we went and as we wanted. Great trip!
Overall Excellent - great experience, wonderful people, strongly recommend to anyone
Communications were excellent, felt like luxury service even on the mountain. Lived up to expectations completely.

A well established and very ethical tour operator, highly efficient staff, sociable and welcoming
I get lost of words on expectations. Africans have a way of reminding us they don't operate on the clock but EAV showed to be proffesional in all operations. Timely communication, the guide for a choice of safari, and all preps. The picnic pack was awesome, i enjoyed that long tour at Ngorongoro Crater with the two gentlement giving the history and even making a mark by helping me capture pictures of the wild animals which will remain part of my files. Actually they beat my expectations in all angles.
I would actually recommend EAV for any and every friend searching for tour related service in Arusha and i wish to grow and remain one of the good examples of quality service delivery in Africa.

Great safari organize by East African Voyage
East African Voyage was recommended to us when we looked into planning a safarin in Tanzania. They worked with us to tailor an itinerary in accordance with our preferences and budget, and organized it flawlessly. Our guide was professional and knowledgeable. Our safari was a great experience, and exceeded our expectations.

An unforgettable experience
This was a unique and unforgettable experience. Our guide, Imani, was very knowledgable, friendly and was a great at spotting the animals. We saw lots of animals which made for some amazing pictures. I would recommend a safari and using East African Voyage to anyone. Thanks.

The experience of a lifetime.
I was in Tanzania from September 23 to 29 for safaris with our French speaking guide Imani Shoo.
It was a fabulous voyage. The food was very good, all the lodges absolutely confortables and magnificients. From the Laiboni camp, sleeping with the Masai to the beautiful Sopa Lodges, they were so different but all were unique! The last three days in Serengeti were just paradise. The Kati Kati Tented camp is just unbelievable!! The Tanzanians are so nice, we were treated like queens! All the National Parks were no less than nature at its best. The nature is so beautiful without human in it...
Finally, let me tell you that Imani was for a great part of success in this voyage. He speaks very good French, he has answers to every questions, he knows all the animal's names and behaviour, he did everything he could to please us and everything he could in order for us to see the animals at their best. But last but not least, he is very nice, very patient, very professional, very tactful for women that we are!!! I would certainly go back to Tanzania for another safari with Imani and if I ever know someone who plans to do a safari in Tanzania, I would refer Imani as the perfect guide for an unforgettable voyage in Africa!
Every step of the trip was well organized by East African Voyage, for our first night in Tanzania, our reservation was not booked for the Planet Lodge as it was supposed to, but our guide solved the problem and we were re-located to another Lodge near by, little less nice but still fine. All the safaris were very well planed and we saw «The Big Five». Even this flight in this little plane from Serengeti to Arusha was exciting!
Thanks to East African Voyage and its chief Julie Veillette
