Amazing safari trip with Easy Travel!
We had an amazing safari tour with Easy Travel through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti.
We were able to see many elusive animals all thanks to the experience and persistence of our driver, Adrian.
It was an unforgettable experience, I can’t recommend them enough!

Hands Down - Best & Trustworthy Company for Tanzanian Safari / Zanzibar . Highly Recommended to all
Safari trip Comfort level:- Luxury+
This was our first trip to Africa and our first experience with African safari, we didn’t know where to start / how to go about the booking. Thank God we found Easy Tours and Travel to plan/organise our itinerary.
As soon as we sent a request asking for their assistance, we got a prompt reply from Masuma giving us the trip options / explaining the details etc. Masuma was extremely patient/professional in answering all our questions.
As this was the first time we were going on a trip organised by a tour operator, we were a little apprehensive about the whole experience but just in a couple of email exchanges/calls with Masuma we knew we were in the right & safe hands.
The quick turn around clear replies from Mausma to our queries helped us make the decision regarding our plan/itinerary.
Any customisation requests in the itinerary/room types were diligently handled by Masuma. She went that extra mile and ensured that we got the rooms of our choice in all the accommodations throughout the trip.
The accommodation recommendations were all of high quality be it food/accommodation/service. The accommodations (different from each other) exceeded expectations and everywhere we appreciate the staff’s politeness.
Masuma kept us informed regarding any new documents required for the trip and we highly appreciate that. She kept checking up on us throughout the trip and ensured our trip went smoothly.
Easy Tours & travel as a company was extremely honest/transparent in financial dealings, invoice was released immediately for any payment made. We really appreciate that.
Masuma ensured that our dietary requirements were taken care of throughout the trip and all the accommodations (6 in total) were informed in advance.
As soon as we landed in Tanzania, Our Safari guide Calvin was waiting for us with a smile on his face and our name on the placard. He took us to their office in Arusha and we were briefed about the trip itinerary/safety measures etc.
During the Safari trip, Calvin was perfect guide /careful/precise and punctual; I really appreciate his services and attention.
Calvin is very knowledgeable/professional/polite/kind/funny/ helpful /patient and answered all our questions, he ensured we were safe throughout our safari trip
Calvin was more of a friend than a guide to us on the trip.
His animal-spotting skills are second to none, he ensured we saw all the big five / rare black rhinos / Cheetahs and many more
He went that extra mile to make sure we witnessed THE GREAT MIGRATION, we are extremely thankful for that.
All in all, it was a most memorable once-in-a-lifetime trip made even more special by Calvin / Masuma.
In Zanzibar as well, we had transportation arranged for all our accommodation and it was handled by a very professional/friendly Chaufer Sulieman.
As we were on our Anniversary trip, very sweet surprises were arranged by Masuma in all our accommodations. This made our trip even more memorable/joyful and made us feel very special.
We are really glad, extremely happy and satisfied that we chose Easy tours and travels. They EXCEEDED our Expectations.

Just perfect from start to end. Customer service at its best!!
We were very pleased from the first contact, the perfect quotation and the responsiveness and seamless communication of Hellen to arrange our tour.
The safari was perfect in all aspects, the Tortilis camps with clean comfortable tents, great food and superfreindly staff. We had beautiful game drives and thanks to our very engaged and highly knowledgeable driver/guide Mohamed have seen a load of landmarks and animals!!
Great memories!!!

Best safari guide everBest safari guide ever
Our safari with Gilbert was amazing. We planned this trip for a long time and everyone at Easy travel was patient, knowledgeable, and helpful . Our hotels were all wonderful, the itinerary was carefully planned, but what made it all magical was our guide, Gilbert. Gilbert was absolutely wonderful, and gave us the trip of a lifetime. We saw so many animals - maybe 100 lions, so many elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles , wildebeest, hyenas, cheetah, leopards, baboons, warthogs, mongoose, ostrich, even rhinos. Along the way we had so many fun adventures and Gilbert made it all possible. He was always in the perfect spot to capture a perfect picture, paced each day and the trip perfectly so there was balance between rest and excitement. We were with him for 11 days and he made every day special and fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a safari, we are already planning our next trip and without a doubt we would book it with Easy travel and Gilbert.

Wonderful experience, excellent Tour Operator, highly recommended
We have done safaris in many African countries and chose Easy Travel after considerable research because they were the most responsive to our specific requests, the most significant of which being that we wanted at least three walking safaris built into our itinerary. The trip exceeded our expectations, in large part because of our outstanding guide, Aniny Nkya, who combined extensive knowledge with outstanding customer service and good humour. He is unquestionably the best guide we’ve met in our various safaris over the years. The 12-day “comfort” safari we chose covered four areas: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and it delivered all that was promised and more. The game viewing was exceptional, and in terms of variety and quantity exceeded anything we have experienced previously in other countries. In terms of accommodation, Easy Travel has a sister company, Tortilis, and four out of the five campers we stayed in were this brand. All camps were excellent and delivered a remarkably high standard of accommodation and food. Our only reservation about the itinerary was that it required a lot of driving on bone-rattling dirt roads. This is no fault of Easy Travel, however anyone used to North American road standards is in for a surprise and what locals jokingly refer to as an “African Massage”. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, highly recommended.

Easy Travel planned a fantastic 12 day safari with superb guide
We had a most fantastic 12 days. Easy Travel was very responsive to our requests and prompt in responding when contacted. They put together an excellent itinerary after listening to our requests. They were willing to organize 4 walking safaris, which seemed to be a more challenging request when other companies were asked to do so. Much of the success of our trip was thanks to our guide Aniny Nkya. He was always pleasant to have around, had a good sense of humour, was willing to adapt or augment anything we requested, was very informative and interesting and a great wildlife spotter. We could not have wished for a finer guide. Our accommodation was excellent. My only comment about this is that Tortilis is a sister company to Easy Travel and 4 out of 5 of our tented accommodation (mostly 2 nights in each location) was with them. Their philosophy is to maintain the same high quality and familiarity by keeping the tents the same, the dining experience (very similar menus), the same welcome from staff etc and this is all excellent. For me, I would have preferred more variety. The one camp that was different (Nyikani) was a very welcome change. This is a small criticism, but worth taking into consideration.

The Best Tanzanian Safari
We had the most amazing experience in Tanzania thanks to Easy Travel. The team helped recommend an itinerary and customized for our wishes. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Our guide Gilbert was outstanding. He was with us the entire trip and recommended start and finish times to have the best chances to see all the animals and avoid the busy areas at busy times. We saw so many animals including elephants, giraffe, buffalo, leopards, cheetah, lions, and even the hard to find black rhino with a bonus baby rhino! Gilbert always got us in the perfect spot and often right next to the animals when possible! He has extensive knowledge of the animals and Tanzania and happily answered our many questions. Gilbert taught us many Swahili phrases which impressed the hotel staff. The hotels selected were all great with impressive views and visits by wildlife including an elephant. If you are looking for a safari company, this is the one to choose. Ask for Gilbert and you'll have the trip of a lifetime.

12 out of 10 experience
Hellen was my online tour coordinator, and she was so concise with our travel plans. She sent emails with our itinerary, what to expect on our trip, and things to pack for the safari. She also responded very quickly answering all the questions & concerns.
Calvin, who was our safari guide, was so knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. It was such a pleasure dealing with him daily. He was prompt, on time, and so accommodating with every day of our safari.

5 days central and Northern Serengeti
I was in Tanzania with a group trip (Kilimanjaro & 3-day safari Ngorogoro, Tarangire, Manyara) and wanted to add on an additional safari experience in the Serengeti. I settled on Easy Travel as the tour company to do this, configuring a custom 5-day safari in the central and northern Serengeti to capture the wildebeest migration. They were fantastic - planning itinerary, lodging, hot air balloon, and in-country flights. I found all logistics and accommodations to exceed expectations and had a great time.
Most importantly, the make or break of any safari IMO, my driver-guide Rajabu was outstanding. Right after landing and clarifying my safari goals we saw Cheetah, Lions, Hippos, and a Leopard. Now - game sightings are very much luck as well as skill - you can never guarantee where animals will be/how they will act. But Rajabu did a great job working with other guides to figure out where our optimal viewing based on my goals would be. He was flexible on scheduling and had no issue with eating most of our meals in the bush to maximize safari time! His knowledge of the animals is deep, and his amiable disposition made the days run smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Easy Travel and Rajabu to anyone looking for a safari and would work with them again enthusiastically!
