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.
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.

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!

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).

Memorable experience with Easy Travel and Ombeni as our Guide
Easy Travel was very strong and prompt with their communication. Our guide, Ombeni, was attentive, motivating, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He made sure qe saw all the Big 5, the Ugly 5, and most of the Small 5, in addition to carching a Wilderbeast river crossing at Grumeti, with Crocs. Couldn't have dreamt of a better safari experience. Kudos to the Easy Travel team and to Ombeni.

Experienced Tour Operator and Guide (Ombeni) that provides its best experiences with you
We covered all the Northern Parks along with the Migration and River-Crossing at Grumeti. Ombeni was fantastic. We saw quite a few cars that were broken down, punctured tires and such, but Ombeni was safe and made sure all 8 days were smooth. Easy Travel gets credit for good cars and Drivers. Ombeni was an amazing guide as well. We learnt a lot from him about animals, their activity and their interaction, and he backed it up with making sure we had live examples to see. We can carry all these memories for many years to come. We had planned a one-time-bucket-list trip, but Ombeni has made us feel like coming back for more.

Herry is kind, patient, informative, helpful, and a great joy to have a conversation with.
My husband and I have always wanted to do a safari. This was truly an amazing adventure that allowed us to see all the animals we had hoped for! All our over night lodge accommodations were just spectacular in room, food, location, and hospitality. Our driver was Herry of Easy Travel & Tours. I want to express how grateful we were to have such a friendly, patient, knowledgeable, safe, and happy guide. He went out of his way to ensure we had all our belongings at every stop, taken enough photos with all the angles, and kindly made unscheduled restroom stops. Herry was very informative about the different cultures, locations, people, food, clothing, work, families, he answered all the questions we had completely. My favorite part of this trip was being there with my family, not worrying about any trip 'moving parts' and just enjoying the time and experiences. Herry kept us all informed of where we're going, how long it would take, what we're doing and going to see.
