Alym is a great resource of knowledge about safari in Africa.
East Africa Wild Adventures planned every detail perfectly.
Alym responds to inquiries almost immediately, which is so helpful, especially when planning time is short.
he is very knowledgeable, pleasant and willing to structure the safari totally to your needs.
it was my 1st time in Africa and everything went perfectly.

Trip of a lifetime!
We went with East Africa Wild because they have experience and were highly responsive. Both qualities were shown throughout our planning and trip to Tanzania. We had a blast and got to see everything we wanted by a guide with over 20 years experience on safari. On the advice of East Africa, we went to the north Serengeti in order to see the migration/river crossing at that time of year. This was a great decision as it was also far less crowded than the centre, which we were also able to see coming into and out of the north. Everything happened smoothly with no hassle. Highly recommended!

A fulfilled life long dream and a perfect adventure.
From start to finish, East Africa Wild provided a top notch experience. Alym was incredibly responsive, honest and informative when it came to the process of us building out our itinerary for our safari in Tanzania. There was nothing that didn't live up to the expectations we had for the safari. Our guide and driver, Nurdin, was amazing. He was very easy to get along with and was as accommodating as he could have been the entire time. He shared additional information about every animal/plant/landmark we saw and was happy to go into more detail when asked. We met other EAW drivers and guides along the way as well and they seemed as pleasant and greatful as Nurdin did. The places we stayed were world class and offered everything we knew they would. We would absolutely recommend East Africa Wild to any of our friends and family...and already have :) . Alym has build a great business and knows his space very well, also hiring great people to help move his safari operation further. Thanks for such a great honeymoon!
Best Ever!
Our trip with East Africa Wild Adventures could not have been better. Alym responded to our emails very quickly and his plans for us worked perfectly. He catered our trip to our exact desires. Every connection was on time and we were met by friendly and knowledgeable people. The safari was wonderful and our guide made sure we saw every animal possible. Our accommodations lived up to our expectations. We could not have been more satisfied.

Highly Recommended - Very Comprehensive & Accommodating!
Alym at East Africa Wild was stellar. He was knowledgeable and was prompt to respond to any inquiries. He spent a lot of time answering my many questions and constantly changing our itinerary to fit our needs. We only had 2 weeks in Tanzania, and with so many different things to do and not enough time, Alym helped us find and customize an itinerary that we were very happy with.
The trip was great. The accommodations were comfortable and the food exceeded our expectations. It's comforting to have someone like Alym, who is very familiar with the country and a trusted source of advice. I have already recommended East Africa Wild to friends and family who have expressed interest in going to Africa in the future.

Simply Stunning Serengeti Safari!
The trip was brilliantly organised by Alym and clearly communicated at all times in the lead up to the trip. He provided good advice on the itinerary and how long to stay in each location etc, providing a balance of accommodations to perfectly suit our request and requirements. He even "arranged" for 3 leopard sightings, not to mention an unforgettable lion pride with cubs on simba rocks.
Our guide, Frank, was faultless and must be credited for his animal sightings (spotted a rhino with his bare eyes at about a kilometre distance!), manners and all round performance.
The overall safari and trip to Zanzibar was pretty much faultless and we would definitely recommend East Africa Wild to others - if we go again we will be specifically requesting Frank as our guide.

Trip of a Lifetime, Honeymoon
Since the first contact with Alym back in February 2017 when I started looking for options for my honeymoon, he has been top notch, very attentive and very prompt to respond. He laid out 2-3 fully inclusive options for our honeymoon based on our preferences and price points. The whole process was seamless and easy with no hassles. Everything was organized by Alym himself except the flights to and from Africa. All food, transportation, guide, optional excursions were pre-planned. The service, food and accommodations all exceeded our expectations and we were treated like a King and Queen; each accommodation recognized our honeymoon status as well, which was a nice treat. We felt safe throughout the whole trip and didn't have one bad experience. Our guide/driver was exceptional and very knowledgeable. He was open to discussing any questions we had and very sociable with us. We want to thank Alym and East Africa Wild for one amazing trip of a lifetime. We will be definitely recommending his services to our friends and family whoever is planning on a safari in Africa. Thank you!

Can't Wait to Go Again!
Our honeymoon safari with a Zanzibar detox afterwards was amazing thanks to Alym and East Africa Adventures! Alym was wonderful and helped us book our safari quickly - and we had even asked kind of last minute but it was no issue. We worked off an itinerary they already had with a bit of customization that Alym suggested which was absolutely wonderful. We're so glad we switched out a lodge to do tented camping for a couple of days.
Our tour guide, Kim, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient - which pays off on safari! He knew every kind of animal and had an eagle eye for spotting animals. We went during dry season, and cannot wait to go back to see what it's like during wet season.
Zanzibar was great too. It was a different feel than our safari part of our trip, but enjoyed it as well and it was nice to relax after long days on safari. I'm glad we booked through East Africa Wild!

A wonderful adventure for our family!
Our family recently returned from our East Africa Wild 15-day adventure to Kenya and Tanzania. Although we had been to Kenya over 30 years ago, we had always wanted to return with our children to have them experience the beauty of East Africa. Our friends recommended East Africa Wild and we are happy they did so. After several conversations with Alym (owner) over FaceTime, he was able to plan the perfect trip/Itinerary for us based on our interests, comfort/activity levels and need for adventure! (Not an easy task given we were 5 adults!) But he did it! The accommodations were fantastic! We mostly stayed at the wonderful Serena Lodges and they were our favourite. The rooms were perfect and the hotel staff were very attentive. Our guides (Newton in Kenya and Saif in Tanzania) were great and worked hard to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible and answered all our questions, whether they were related to wildlife or local culture. Newton & Saif were always on time and did their best to accommodate any and all requests that were made (we made lots!). We were also very well taken care of by the staff 'on the ground'. En route to Africa, two pieces of luggage were left behind during one of our connecting flights. The tour company staff in Nairobi quickly took care of the problem by tracking our bags, picking them up from the airport and delivering them to our lodge.
There were too many highlights on our trip to list them all but they included a bush breakfast along the Mara River, a private bush dinner accompanied by Masai tribesmen, and of course the many game drives where we saw the 'big five' and so much more! We totally and with confidence recommend East Africa Wild!

Fantastic, very personalized service, that blew our expectations out of the water
Alym was a blessing to find! We looked into 3 other tour providers, and when we first talked with Alym, there was no other choice. We told him our wish list was to go to Victoria Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and a drive to Nairobi. He asked questions, and learned about the 4 in our group, then set our trip up to fit us. Then we decided we wanted a couple of changes... No problem! He modified our 17 days to exactly to our needs. He and his team nailed it! Our Accommodations were perfect for our budget, and the drivers we had were extremely courteous. Osea had so much information to share in Tanzania. He spotted every kind of animal like magic. In spending 7 days with him, we made a life long friend. In Kenya our driver Steven was so much fun, and worked so hard to make sure out trip ended an a high note. He too had the knowledge of the animals, and so much more. From the moment we walked into the customs at Victoria Falls, to the goodbye at Nairobi airport, there was never a moments concern of safety, direction, or plan. We had a day to ourselves in Arusha, and all other days with our guides were fun filled and comfortable. The vehicles were nice to travel in, and we were confident in our drivers to get to our destinations safely. We believed our trip would be memorable, but we had no idea of the high level of service and personal attention we would receive. I look forward to the chance to return to Africa, and see so much more.
