8 Day Lemosho Trek + 6 Day Safari (4 National Parks) (Mid - Late June / Early July)
Let me start out by saying that finding a company to handle your Kilimanjaro trek and safari can be truly overwhelming and scary. I mean, you’re spending a lot of money and you don’t want to have any surprises. I can tell you without a doubt, Easy Travel and Tours Ltd is 100% the company you should work with – for their professionalism, their above-and-beyond customer service, and their transparency. They handle almost everything for you besides a few things such as, traveler’s insurance and your visa, so you can leave the stress behind.
Trip: honeymoon / private tour / comfort level / Kilimanjaro trek + safari (Tanzania)
When we arrived in Kilimanjaro, we stayed at the Karama Lodge the night before heading out on our trek. It was such a beautiful nature lodge, and I had one of the best massages of my life there! The food was exquisite, and the staff was very attentive. I loved the resident monkeys and cats that came to visit as we walked the grounds

Fantastic, perfect, lovely
We are two old ladies, made a last minute booking for a one week safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Easy. They were able to arrange everything within two days!
We had a very personal contact, they came to see us in the hotel to arrange all. We got a thorough information about the tour program, were asked for any special wishes. They even offered us the driver and car free of charge for one day to visit the central market of Arusha! Once on the way, everything was taken care of by our driver/guide Festo. He was accommodating, knowledgable, and always cool. Even before we knew what we wanted, he already offered it: coffee brake-very good soluble coffee-"P" stop :-), see the leopard, lunch picknick. He never imposed himself, but was there.
On the way to Manyara he offered us an extra tour and lunch in a local village, DO IT. The lunch is organized by the women's organisation, they do the work and benefit, delicious. We saw the fields, the orchards and visited the school, where the kids sang us Frere Jacque, seems to be as popular as Happy Birthday :-) Bring a big bag of sweets or pens and crayons or something with you, they are so happy. Class is about 40 children.
The tented camps =medium range, Tortilis chain, were lovely. Everything was in order, mosquito nets, zippers, no fail. They arrange the schedule according to the needs of the safari tour. When do you want your hot shower? At 6:30? One of the Tanzanians climbs a ladder outside of your tank, pours the hot water in, and shouts "ready hot shower!" and there you go. Lovely. Have you ever heard lions roaring near you, very near you, at night?
We stayed in Tortilis Lake Manyara 1 night, Serengeti Tortilis Camp 2 nights and Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp 1 night. Amazing, what they can put together for lodging, food, drinks and warm welcome in the middle of nowhere. Such lovely people.
The jeep was in very good order, very "comfortable", if you can call that a jeep on a track, always cleaned and well maintained, cool box, WLAN!!!in the middle of nowhere, charger for mobiles, The Works.
The girls from Easy Travel were always in contact with the guide to know, if everything was ok. Our guide was a lot in contact with his friends, the other guides no matter which tour operator, to know, if there was anything special to see. That is how we once arrived at as site, where a Cheetah was hurt through some kind of accident. The National Park Cheetah specialists arrived in short time to take care of the animal. Seems, they have an excellent veterinary hospital.
They do not offer the "See how the Masai live" excursion any more, for a good reason, naaa, don't want it.
Ngorongoro is one of the Wonders of the World. Paradise lost. All different animals living together and supplying each other, if you understand what I mean. Just so great. Festo, our guide, showed us the best places, he has more than 12 years of experience, you be sure to want that.
And, and, and,.... Coming back to Arusha, de-briefing with the girls from Easy Travel office. Agreeable as always.
We had another bad experience with another company before, so we can really, and happily recommend Easy Travel, they are SUCH professionals, aside of being lovely people.
After this we went diving in Pemba and Mafia.
Have any questions?
You are free to ask me,
a very happy

understood what we wanted and delivered 100 percent
of all the tour companies we contacted Easy Travel was by far the most responsive, and understood what we wanted and tailored the safari perfectly to us. and questions and changes were dealt with in a timely fashion and we headed to Tanzania very confident in the arrangements. On arrival we were not disappointed, and as soon as the safari started we knew we had made the correct choice. Our Guide (Everest) was a perfect match for us, and the 12 days we spent in the bush with him were a dream. There was never the feeling of being rushed through anything, we could stop and observe the animals and birds at will, with Everest filling it in with his years of knowledge of the wildlife. All of the accommodations were well located in or near the parks and were almost too nice. I only wish we had had more time over all, and that was after 12 days! There is some much to see and experience in Tanzania and we just scratched the surface, but even that would not have been possible without the excellent services provided by Easy Travel.

Easy and Fabulous Indeed!
Alice was my contact from the start and she was extremely helpful in planning a custom safari tour for our family of 5. Easy Travel was indeed easy in all aspects. Their website was easy to navigate and very informative. My endless questions were answered promptly and the bank transfer process was easy to do with their instructions which I was nervous about having never done so. We had a fantastic guide named Erasto and could not have been more pleased. Everything was handled smoothly throughout our 8 days and constant game drives with multiple camps and accommodations. My gluten allergy was also well addressed at breakfasts, dinners, and packed lunches. We were able to see the big 5 along with countless other animals. This was a fabulous trip and indeed the trip of a lifetime for my family. Well done and thank you. Asante Asante!
The Safari with Easy Travel was one of the best life experiences I've had in Tanzania
I did the classic 7-day safari with my family and from the get go to the end, every single aspect of the trip was exceptional. Our sales agent Maryam provided excellent customer service and was available to assist with our needs 24/7. She made sure we all had a wonderful and carefree time. Next our tour guide and safari driver Thomas Chongore was the most phenomenal human being, with a breathtaking amount of knowledge and energy. He went above and beyond every day to make sure we saw the things we wanted to see, and if any problems came up he was ready to change the schedule according to our needs. It was so fantastic to meet Thomas and learn an incredible amount in a few short days - will not be able to thank him and Maryam enough for giving my family this wonderful experience in Tanzania.

Outstanding safari in evey way
This my 4th safari but my first in Tanzania. I wanted to see the great migration, accomplished that and so much more. The safari vehicle is first class and it needs to be because of the roads. Our driver Thomas was superb, and very knowledgeable about the animals/birds native tribes etc. Easy Travel, especially Geodfrey who set everything up were excellent. Normally on a major trip there are some flaws but this trip went perfectly. My wife was anxious about the tent camps but they are 3 rooms, hot shower, nice beds, flush toilets, and good meals. The people at all the camps were super helpful. We saw the big five and a lots of other animals. The migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras is mind blowing. Don't do the canned "private game reserves" in other countries. There are no fences in the Serengeti for thousands of miles and the animals are free. The Ngorongoro crater area is simply amazing. I visited the Easy Travel office at the end of the safari and can tell you they have a world class operation!

We saw many animals thanks to our guide, Dotto, and the only surprises we had were all good ones!
We saw many animals thanks to our guide, Dotto, and the only surprises we had were all good ones! Our agent, Myriam, was very quick to answer our demand and some adaptations. In the company offices, we have had a briefing the day before beginning the safari to make sure to clarify whatever was needed, as well as a debriefing the last day of the safari to make sure that the safari had met our expectations. It did indeed! As honeymooner, we had some good surprises (room updates for example), but I don't doubt that for "regular" travelers, the Easy Travel team makes its best to offer an amazing safari experience to its clients.

Reliable and responsible
We have just finished a 8-day customise safari trip with Easy Travel. I am very happy to choose the right company for our trip.
First, Jessica and Jane were so helpful to us as they always replied quickly. For any requests or questions, they were also tried the best to satisfy our needs. They would also gave us some suggestions on the plan to make our trip perfect.
Second, we are so glad to have Aniny to be our guide. He is the one of the best guides we have ever met. Aniny is humorous which always kept smile and brought a lot of fun to us during this 8 days. He also shared and explained lots of professional knowledge on animals with us. We were so lucky to see Big 5 and migration of the Wildebeest during our journey. We do very appreciate his all-out effort of taking care of us and treating us as a family. With his broad experiences, he can always find the best spots for us to observe the animals and take good pictures of them. Aniny was also be punctual everyday so that we won’t miss any programme.
Third, the accommodation that we stayed in these 8 days were great. We chose “comfort” as our main type of tour. All accommodation with private washroom and hot water shower. The hygiene of the rooms were also good. Food were also out of our expectation and it’s very nice.
Highly recommended Easy Travel to all. We will never forget this amazing safari trip with Easy Travel. We hope we can come back one day with Easy Travel and with Aniny again.
