Efficient, attentive, highly knowledgeable, and friendly.
Easy Travel customized a personal safari for me and my family. It was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience which was all due to Easy Travel and our guide Edward. The accommodations were terrific, especially Lemala in Taragire and Manyara’s Secret at Lake Manyara, as was the food and hospitality from all involved. Our guide. Edward Nyaki, was very warm, engaging, and highly knowledgeable about the animals, tribes, and Tanzanian History. It was amazing watching him navigate the park trails, with the safari, vehicle while still arriving at locations where we wanted to or should be. Again, a great experience to see three parks and a natural conservancy while leaving with a friend in Tanzania (Edward).

An incredible experience we will never forget!
We did the 8-day Lemosho Route followed by a 6-day safari with Easy Travel. The company and guides were fantastic! Fredrick and Adolph did a fantastic job getting us to the summit of Kilimanjaro, teaching us the Jambo song and educating us about the ecology of the mountain along the way. Isaac and Shamani kept us well-fed and hydrated and the porters were absolutely amazing. Hussani supplemented us with hot ginger tea on summit night so we could combat our nausea and stay warm. We will miss our fantastic group! We highly recommend going with this company and doing the Lemosho Route.
We had Louis as our safari guide from the Northern Serengeti through the Ngorongoro Crater. What a knowledgeable man! He has worked for 30 years as a safari guide and was able to predict what the animals' next movements were and maneuver the Land Rover into place so we'd have the best spot to watch.
Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and Easy Travel were an incredible company to work with. We would highly recommend them for your Tanzania holiday!
Beyond my expectation: extremely professional and attentive
Easy Travel went beyond my expectation in providing us an amazing safari experience. The communication was proactive, clear and very detailed. The service was extremely attentive: they accommodated all of our preferences and even things we didn't think of like a birthday surprise upon our arrival. And our tour guide Herry was simply amazing: he has the sharpest eyes for spotting animals and we were able to see all of the big fives multiple times. We even saw lion hunting which was such an unexpected surprise! And the camp and the food was also incredible: we feel like we are staying at a five star hotel in nature! Overall this tour was extremely good value for the high quality experience it provided, can't recommend it enough.

Easy Travel tailored the trip to our preferences, offering a highly personalized experience.
Safari with Easy Travel and Herry was an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations. Throughout our journey, we had the opportunity to visit three remarkable parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, each offering a unique and captivating wildlife encounter.
For the Safari:
1. This safari trip was truly unbelievable as we witnessed a plethora of animals in their natural habitats. From lions hunting their prey to the fascinating sight of hippos munching on their meals, the sheer diversity and abundance of wildlife left us in awe.
2. Our knowledgeable guide, Herry, proved to be an invaluable asset throughout the journey. With a keen eye for detail, he skillfully pointed out animals that would have otherwise gone unnoticed without the aid of binoculars. His expertise and passion for the wildlife truly enhanced our safari experience.
3. One unforgettable incident during our safari was when we encountered another jeep that had become stranded in a treacherous terrain. However we were able to rescue them.
4. The atmosphere at the Tortilis camps was enchanting, and we were delighted by the vibrant singing and dancing performances. To our surprise and delight, they even serenaded my partner with a heartfelt happy birthday song, creating a truly special and memorable moment.
5. Our safari experience extended beyond mere animal sightings. Our guide provided us with insightful information about the history of the parks, enlightening us about the changes they have undergone over the past decade. It was fascinating to gain a deeper understanding of the conservation efforts and preservation initiatives in place.
6. Exploring the wildlife went beyond the iconic "big five." We had the opportunity to learn about the rich variety of trees and plants unique to each park, and how the soil composition impacts the colors of warthogs, distinguishing them as black, red, or gray. This ecological perspective added a fascinating dimension to our safari adventure.
Experiences beyond the safari:
1. Our journey extended beyond the boundaries of the parks as we visited a local village. There, we were warmly welcomed with a homemade meal, and our guide's attentiveness ensured that avocados, our favorite, were included. The genuine hospitality and cultural immersion made this experience truly memorable.
2. We delved into the agricultural history of Tanzania, learning about the rise of GMO crops and the implications it has had on the region. This educational aspect added depth to our understanding of the country's development and its impact on both the environment and local communities.
3. Our exploration of Tanzania's rich heritage included discovering the diverse tribes and their unique histories and typical occupations. Learning about the traditions, customs, and ways of life of these communities provided a rich cultural experience.
4. In gaining a comprehensive understanding of the region, we also learned about the ongoing conflict between the Masai people and the government regarding land rights within the parks. This insight shed light on the complex challenges faced by local communities and the delicate balance between conservation and indigenous rights.
Overall, our safari trip with Easy Travels and Herry was an extraordinary adventure that surpassed all expectations. From the breathtaking wildlife encounters to the enlightening experiences beyond the safari, it was a journey filled with awe-inspiring moments, cultural immersion, and invaluable knowledge. We highly recommend this exceptional safari experience to anyone seeking an unforgettable and enriching exploration of Tanzania's natural wonders and cultural heritage.
Absolutely excellent hosts- amazing!
Easy Travel and in particular our guide Abisei were just fantastic! We could not have asked for better service. Anise I went out of his way to make our safari everything it possibly could be, and more! We saw more than we could have hoped for and will highly recommend this tour company to anyone.

Excellent tour operator and exceptional guide Abisai
We’ve just finished a 13 night safari with Easy Travel through the entire Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. What a wonderful experience. Being in another life from Africa and having done several safaris through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe before, this Tanzanian safari exceeded all of them in animal numbers, experiences (lioness carrying her cubs to safety, wildebeest migration already at the end of May! etc) and how close we’ve got to the animals. Our guide Abisai!! His experience with previous film production and ballooning companies gave him an edge when lining up for the perfect photo. He was thé ultimate safari guide. Driving us safely the whole time, with his extensive knowledge about all animals, birds, plants and Tanzania in general and the ability to do most animal and bird calls, what more could you ask for!
If you want to do a safari anywhere in Africa, this is the company. And ask for Abisai!

Easytravel Serengeti Safari
We have just completed a 2 week Tanzanian Safari with Easytravel, a local, Arusha based, travel company specialising in wildlife safaris, travelling in specially adapted Toyota Landcruisers with stretched chassis, 6 passenger seats, pop-up roof, binoculars, ample storage and even wifi. Our group of 23 people, mostly aged in our 60s, 70s and even early 80s, was spread over 6 vehicles, giving us plenty of room to move about to get the best view for photographing the wildlife we came to see.
Over the 2 weeks of our safari, we stayed at Arusha Serena Hotel, Ndutu Tented Lodge, Serengeti Serena Lodge, Kirawira Tented Camp, Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp, Serena Lodge Ngorongoro and finally back to Arusha.
We went on Safari to see African wildlife in their natural habitat but, wow, what we saw far exceeded our expectations! The thrill of getting up close to virtually any African animal imaginable is an incredible experience! We sat in the middle of a herd of elephants, enormous bulls, mothers and babies, while they calmly moved around our car feeding on a tree a mere 2 metres from us and our cameras! We got very close to numerous other animals too, including several prides of lions, cheetah families, solitary leopards, herds of buffalo, giraffes, hippos, and literally millions of wilderbeast, zebra and numerous types of antelope. Then there were rare black rhinos, crocodiles, warthogs, hyenas, jackals and numerous small animals, and of course birds, from ostriches, vultures and other birds of prey down to the small highly coloured varieties.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater must be the best place in Africa to see wildlife in the natural habitat but our amazing experience was made possible by the excellent organisation, service and facilities provided by Easytravel and their highly experienced guides. Our guide and driver, Adrian, had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the wildlife and where to find them, with eyes like an eagle to spot even the smallest solitary animals in the distance. Without his expert guidance we would certainly have missed seeing many of the smaller and solitary animals. He was also an excellent driver both on the main roads and off-road driving across the open plains and bush tracks. We always felt in safe hands and very well looked after by our Adrian!
Overall, our Serengeti Safari with Adrian and Easytravel was an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime experience, which I highly recommend to any able bodied person of any age wanting a real African wildlife experience while being very well looked after.
A 9/10 experience for me!

Small, specialist tailored tours using exceptional guides
Easytravel tailored a 10 day safari based on their deep understanding of the relationship between the Great Migration & the weather and the game in each region, resulting in a truly exceptional, personalised experience at remarkably good value. With Gerald as our guide we saw everything you'd want to see on a safari, things you don't even know you can see & he always positioned us for photos worthy of National Geographic. The luxury tented camps added to our safari experience, the staff were warm & friendly wherever we went & the food was great everywhere. We travelled light knowing that a reasonable same day laundry service was always available. Each day we thought it impossible to better but Gerald delivered. Our 10 days saw us in Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorogoro & Arusha National Park. "Being In" the Great Migration should be on everyone's bucket list. We saw the big 5, the little 5, the ugly 5, our favourite 5, the most beautiful birds, breathtaking scenery & sunsets & even interesting bugs. This will go down as our best holiday ever.

An outstanding, personalized Tanzania safari, an authentic Africa experience
Our Easy Travel tour was a 14-day customized and personalized safari for our group of four. We visited Ndutu, the Serengeti National Park (central, Western corridor, and northern areas during the Great Migration), Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha National Park. Starting with the initial booking process, communication was always clear and responsive. From arrival in Arusha through to departure two weeks later, service was always incredibly friendly and reliable. Our guide was GERALD ELISHA MOLLEL, who demonstrated an outstanding knowledge of Tanzania's natural resources and animal life and was always friendly and helpful. If you want an amazing experience that you will never forget, at good value, work with Easy Travel to create your dream Tanzania holiday and make sure to ask for GERALD as your guide!
