Alym organised a perfect private safari for me
I've contacted Alym from East Africa Wild Adventures with request for private custom made safari just 1 week in advance. He's organized everything in just 3 days and the result satisfied of all of my demands. The safari itself was well organised, all activities were on time, my driver/guide Makau is perfect and I could recommend him to everyone. We did a lot of driving and visited lots of places in just 6 days per my request.

The only way to go
East Africa Wild Adventures is incredible to work with. There is quick response time, communication is excellent and attention to detail is impressive. We had a wonderful time on our safari and all the experiences exceeded expectations. Alym is easy to work with and very good at individualizing needs. I have some health issues and he was able to work with the lodges to make sure my needs were met. We were booked into incredible lodges and service was excellent. Everyone from East Africa Wild Adventures to the lodge cleaners offered exceptional service and showed flexibility to meet our needs and make our experience memorable. I highly recommend East Africa Wild Adventures for planning any experience in Africa. The company has a vast network and excellent knowledge of the areas and lodges they arrange for your holiday.

Expectations exceeded
My wife and I have been on a number of safaris in Kenya and Tanzania and wanted our families to share in the adventure and joy of this experience. With a party of 8, we soon agreed that we needed outside assistance to bring expertise and a sense of order to our plans for a family safari.
We were fortunate to hook up with Alym Bhanji from East Africa Wild Adventures. From the first contact, Alym sought to ensure that the safari package that we selected would meet all of our needs. He was sure to make plans for the two kids (8 and 11) in our group, and to make sure that the adults’ needs were met as well.
Following recommendation received from Alym, we ended up selecting a Sky Safari package that took us to three magnificent Elewana camps (Elsa’s Kopje; Loisaba; and Sand River Masai Mara). Alym made sure that every detail, from arrival to departure, was top-notch and taken care of.
My family had the experience of a lifetime and we owe much to Alym and his team at East Africa Wild Adventures.

Amazing safari arranged by East Africa Wild. Every aspect of our trip was handled perfectly.
We looked at various companies and elected to go with East Africa Wild - a company based in Vancouver. The company’s owner, Alym, worked closely with us to let us take our grandson with us to Kenya and Tanzania on a timeframe that fit in his School holidays.
As an aside, our 13 year old broke his arm a week before we departed and the guides were very careful to ensure his injury wasn’t aggravated. Our trip was handled perfectly with transfers, plane rides between camps, the camps themselves and the guides all there and on time to ensure a quality trip.
Interestingly, we followed the safari vehicles of other operators that were much more expensive. In addition, our trip was also very good value for money. We would strongly recommend that East Africa Wild be considered if anyone is planning a trip to Africa.

Saw the Big Five and much more, plus excellent Cultural Tour
For the Safari we had an educated Masai guide with a natural feel for finding wildlife. Our Land Rover was superior to the other off road vehicles we saw. Accommodations were excellent. The wildlife viewings exceeded my expectations. The Tanzania adventure was tailor made for my wife and me. It included a cultural tour of 5 days with excellent local guides and a great deal of walking. On the list of attractions were farms, schools, medical clinics, an orphanage, and home hospitality with meals. The whole package seemed to me cost effective and flawlessly coordinated. I highly recommend East Africa Wild.

Amazing experiences for a short trip!
East Africa Wild Adventures coordinated our Safari as part of a visit to Kenya for a wedding. We only had 4 days to spend before making our way to the final destination and were on a budget. They helped make sure we saw a tremendous amount in that time. We visited Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Each offered their own varied experience of wildlife and surroundings. Our tour operators were friendly, knowledgeable, and always on time. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. East Africa Wild was great to work with. They gave us a number of options and helped determine what was best for our group. That really set the experience apart.

Reliable and efficient safari tour company
This tour company was excellent in all accounts! They took me to Zanzibar and some of the main parks in Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Arusha. Efficient, prompt and smooth communications, first class quality service, totally lived up to my expectations of what my trip would look like. I definitely recommend it!

Dream honeymoon in northern Tanzania and Zanzibar
My wife and I had a two week honeymoon in Tanzania immediately after our wedding and, in short, it was spectacular. East Africa did a great job all around with the planning and execution of the trip, making it very smooth and successful.
Alym (owner) was enormously useful in helping us decide on an itinerary that was right for us. He has deep first hand knowledge of the region and provides thoughtful and honest recommendations about what we should and shouldn't include in our trip taking into account our personal preferences and budget constraints. After deciding on the itinerary, Alym made sure we had all the information we would need before our departure (e.g. Packing lists, advice on travel medicine, etc). Alym took care of everything after that and we didn't need to lift a finger in dealing with all the many individual vendors on the ground.
Once we arrived, we were taken care of from the time we stepped off the plane to the time we arrived back at the airport to depart. All the logistics were executed flawlessly and the hotel and safari experiences constantly exceeded expectations. East Africa has a select group of guides and ours (Selemani) was terrific, which was an important contributor to the overall experience because you spend A LOT of time with your guide. Selemani had ~15 years of experience so he knew everything about the wildlife and was very cognizant of our needs, and furthermore was a very fun and interesting guy.
Tanzania is a fantastic option for a dream safari vacation and East Africa Wild Adventures is a great choice to make it happen for you. Thanks Alym and team!

Amazing Honeymoon Adventure - Can't wait to go back!
Alym was amazing to work with from the very start. He took everything we wanted to see & do into consideration, while also staying within our budget. On our way to Tanzania, we missed our connection flying through Amsterdam. Alym was able to push back every part of our itinerary within a 12 hour time period so that we wouldn't miss out on a single aspect of our trip - It was amazing! After landing in Kilimanjaro, every aspect of our trip was seamless. Our guide, Selemani, was wonderful! He was very easy going, easy to get along with, and incredible at spotting different animals. We saw more than we could've ever imagined thanks to Selemani. All of the lodges and tented camps we stayed at were amazing. Great food, friendly staff, amazing locations. After our safari, we flew to Zanzibar for some rest and relaxation. We decided we wanted to go into Stonetown for a day and Alym helped us arrange this as well. Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend East Africa Wild Aventures and we will definitely be booking with them again!
