Reviews
Great budget Masai Mara trip
Great communication and service, both from the person who set up the trip and the guide/driver. Stayed in a tented camp which was of a good standard - the food was fine, given that this was a budget safari (good idea to take some snacks!). Driver/guide was knowledgeable and worked hard to make the trip enjoyable.

Good service provided by Ewamann Safari
We did a Kenya+Tanzania tour for 13 days (12 nights) and was very beautiful!
Erick has solved all of our questions since the beginning of our first communication. I had many because it was the first time that I contacted with a local agency and I wanted to be sure that everything was fine at our arrival and during the trip. During the itinerary, we had some problems to get our daily water and problems in some accommodations, also at our arrival in Tanzania because it wasn't any body waiting for us at the bus station but this is all. After request some help to the bus driver, we got the solution but when you are in a foreign country, you feel very strange and a little bit confused. These problems came also by the own country, it is not only agency fault because Erick is always glad to help you in any problem you need. From my point of view, if you are an European/American tourist, you cannot except to receive the same service as in your country. You have to go with open mind and understand that you are in Africa! I missed more information from drivers but for instance we had one in Kenya who is called Maxwell who was lovely! Very brilliant person and friendly! He helped us to love the natural parks and to enjoy during the game drives.
To sum up, please do not hesitate to contact this agency to buy your safari because everything you need, Erick will be there to help you and to do your stay comfortable between Africa can offer you :).
We saw the big five, also to hunt in Tanzania so was an amazing and beautiful experience. Each park is different. I would recommend you to visit both countries to feel the sensations of sleeping in the middle of Serengeti, in Tanzania and enjoy the marvelous views in Kenya parks as well. There were stay places very kind and nice as Panorama Campsite and the one in Amboseli where people was lovely.
You can trust 100% in Erick who will be worried for your interests!!!
Thank you Erick&team!! We will always remember this trip :) Contact me if you are planning to come to Spain!

Affordable & Accommodating
Ewamanns Safaris is an affordable and accommodating company. My friend and I booked a safari within a week of our departure and about 36 hours in advance I was able to call and delay our departure as I had a last minute deadline come up at work. Our safari was also during off season, but I definitely appreciated the flexibility.
During off season you may not get see as many animals, but the perks include easy booking, cheaper rates, and an uncrowded campsite and reserve!
Accomodations
I believe the accommodations were commensurate with the rate. The campground was accessible to the Reserve and comfortable for a 2 night stay. Ewamanns did a great job setting up accommodation expectations as they sent me a picture of the tent/campgrounds while I was booking it, so there were no surprises here.
Food
Food was inclusive of the tour and they provided vegetarian options for those with some dietary restrictions. Note if you have more strict dietary restrictions like celiac it would be best to bring your food!
Safari
As far as the safari goes it was incredible!!! Everyone had a window seat to it was pretty easy to take pictures and take in the sights. Our driver didn't talk that much as was hard at first to know what was going on. However, in context our tour had 3 groups in one bongo speaking 3 different languages, within a day we were able to get in groove with communicating with one another. Overall it was a great trip.

Excellent service & great value!
I was very happy with the service received from Ewamanns Safaris - the price was very competitive, Erick was very attentive to my needs and offered lots of travel options that I could choose from. Pricing was excellent - I have not seen a similar offer anywhere else. Despite this, the level of service was above my expectations! The guides, hotels, food & the entire experience were perfect.

Good company to work with
Communication was excellent
Van needs a bit of maintenance
Driver/guide Bonifacio was excellent always trying his best to please
Unfortunately April is not the best month for a safari as the grass is very long and difficult to see the animals but Bonifacio managed to find them

5 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
Ewamanns Safaris is one of the best safari organizers you can get in Kenya! I have already been on safari with them last year and came back this year. Hopefully, I can manage to come to Kenya again next year.
My fellow travelers and I were always really impressed by their conscientiousness and their expertise. Both are very important on a safari in Kenya and can't be taken for granted!
The whole safari organization was always just perfect: You get picked at the airport. Erick just waits already outside when you leave the building. From there on, everything went just perfectly smooth. First night in Nairobi, the following morning head off to Masai Mara. Our driver, Bonface, was the best driver you can wish for in such a country! He is very skilled and knows exactly what to do. Among his best skills are his good eyes! He spotted the animals way before we even looked in the right directions. This is not common! Many drivers are not as skilled as him! Having a talented driver is probably the most important thing you need on a safari. Due to him, we saw for example cheetahs and the big five, even the leopard. By the way, it was Bonface who spotted the leopard. If you know, how rare it is to see this shy animal, you can appreciate what I mean by "skilled driver". Of course, a national park in Kenya is no zoo, so seeing the big five is never guaranteed, but you can have bigger chances to see them, if your driver is good. He also knows all the animals, which at first sight seems not to be too special for a safari driver in Kenya, but it is. For example, there are lots of different kinds of antelopes which at first sight do not differ at all. Bonface can often see the difference already without any binoculars just by inspecting their typical movements. He will be happy to explain you everything about it and you will come back as an expert on antelopes and other animals in Kenya! If you have a driver, who is not able to distinguish the animals properly, you miss the most fascinating part of the whole safari!
After 5 days, we were dropped again at the airport and left the country some hours later. As in 2017, this was the best week in 2018.

9 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania
Erick was a very attentive person, always ready to help and always answered the questions. We plan our trip almost 10 months in advance, it is difficult to build trust based only on online conversations, so we start early to negotiate and explore trips. When we closed our package, we decided several points, including day tour in Nairobi and shuttle from the airport to the hotel. Everything worked out, in spite of the fear on the first day, when Erick asked what we had agreed. That's when I learned Hakuna Matata, it's going to be all right. I explained to him everything we had arranged, I showed him emails and he explained that he had lost his cell phone, so far so good. In the rest of the trip, everything went smoothly except for the last shuttle, from the hotel to the kilimanjaro airport, which I did for myself in Tanzania, but the money was returned, that is, it was honest. Anyway, you can trust, it will be all right, and accept the guides' advice, even if it is to change the trip, there will be a mutual win-win relationship.
By the way, on this trip we met with Ewamanns Safari the locations of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Maniara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tangerine Park, ie 2 countries, several parks, we did not lack food, decent accommodations, helpful guides and fantastic experiences.

Very good service and nice trip!
We were going on a trip for 5 days in Kenya, Tsavo east, amboseli, Tsavo west an Taita hills, wow! it was very beautiful and good service. Antony is the best driver!! He drives very good and save and knows a lot of information about almost everything. The lodges are very good, but Tsavo west maybe you can get another lodge. When we go back, we book our trip again with Ewamanns Safaris. It's a faithfull company.
