Best vacation ever! Highly recommend East Africa Wild Adventures.
I recently returned on a trip from Tanzania that was planned by Alym from East Africa Wild Adventures and it was one of the best and smoothest trips that I have had. From the very beginning of the planning process, I was impressed by the thoughtfulness that Alym put into planning our trip. We had corresponded via email and telephone multiple times. He gave me multitude of quotes for the different trip options that I was looking for. He made sure that the trip was planned entirely based on my specifications and within my price range. Also having grown up in Tanzania and visited these sites and hotels, he was able to provide personalized recommendations. I spent a month in Africa prior to the safari and everyone that I had spoken to said that I had gotten a great deal on the trip which included all meals, my airfare to Zanzibar, 4-5 star hotels and personal car with a awesome driver for our safari. All the accommodations were top notch including a few days in a luxury tent facility with Serena Hotel which was a great experience. He called us on the first day of our arrival to make sure that everything was arranged. He even went as for as to introduce us to his friends in Arusha who offered to show us the city because we would be spending some time there before the safari started. Overall I was very impressed by his professionalism, his enthusiasm for planning our trip and introducing us to Tanzania and his patience in handling all of my many requests. I highly recommend him and would definitely plan another trip with East Africa Wild Adventures when I return to Africa!

Excellent experience with no hassle made it very easy to book from the U.S. without worry!
Not only was this a honeymoon trip, but it was also our first trip to Africa so we wanted it to be perfect. We were recommended to East Africa Wild Adventures by a friend and we're so thankful we used them. They were incredibly helpful in setting up the trip and providing suggestions. They were also very knowledgeable and quick to answer questions and make us feel comfortable with the different travel options, which was really important to us since we'd never been to Africa and we were booking the trip from the U.S. They also customized our trip and were able to work with our interests to create a more personal and private experience. Once we arrived in Africa we were taken care of from the time the plane landed to the time we departed. Everything was already arranged so we didn't have to worry about anything which was perfect. We did a private 6 day hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro which is when we really knew that East Africa Wild Adventures uses the best tour guides and really made our trip special. Our guide was really interested in helping us and learning from us, and he spoke perfect English, not just the basics like most of the other guides which made the trip even better because we could joke and understand each other rather than having to translate everything or walk in silence. We met a lot of other tour guides who either didn't really speak English or didn't really want to be there so they weren't as friendly as our guide. Our guide was always smiling and I can honestly say that I would not have made it to the summit without him. After our hike we spent a few days on the beach relaxing at a beautiful all inclusive resort in Zanzibar, where East Africa Wild Adventures arranged for us to get a free honeymoon upgrade. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend using East Africa Wild Adventures as they made everything so easy and we had such a wonderful time.

Easy, Fun, Friendly and Well-Priced
East Africa Wild Adventures was a pleasure to work with, and truly took care of our every need. We would have had no idea where to start when booking this vacation ourselves, but the combination of a knowledgeable agent in Canada, and amazing operators and guides in Africa made this vacation a smooth and unforgettable one. From the moment that we arrived in Killiminjaro Airport, to the moment we departed in Arusha, we was taken care of by our guide (and whisked around Tanzania without problem or delay). The hotels we stayed in were great, and they were even able to get us some upgrades! Also, and perhaps most importantly,our guide found us EVERY species of wildlife that we hoped to see (the Big 5), including Rhinos and a Leopard dragging its prey up a tree.
The prices were very fair as well - and we DID shop around. I highly recommend Alym and his partners, and will definitely use them again when I go to Africa next.

A marvellous experience!
We had an amazing time, and all the hotel and tour arrangements were perfect, everything we wanted and more - Alym and East Africa Wild got it absolutely right! The service and speed of communication were also excellent, and our requirements and budget were really followed to a T. The Serena properties were all lovely, with a lot of character, and delicious food, as was the Kitela Lodge in Ngorongoro. Of course, as promised, the Kirawira Camp really was the best of all of them. Ajabu Adventures was a really excellent safari tour company that we were matched with. We really lucked out and saw pretty much every animal barring a rhino. We only wish we'd had more time and could have stayed longer in Tanzania!
