Wonderful experience with Easy Travels
We went ahead with Easy Travels after getting quotes from 3 operators. The tripadvisor reviews and prices made it an easy choice for us. The booking experience was good although a web link-based booking would've been better. The communication was clear and crisp throughout the pre-booking/booking/post-booking phases.
We had an outstanding trip with the help of Gladys and her team. Ours was a 6-day safari followed by Zanzibar trip(arranged by us).
My wife and I had an amazing vacation thanks to Easy travels. We stayed at 6 places over 7 nights and all were very nice stays.
Tom was an excellent guide and he knew every part of Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. He was extremely enthusiastic and patient and showed us a LOT of animals/birds - especially some rare sightings - leopard hunting during daytime, mother and child rhino. Tom made our trip very special.
The staff of each lodge we stayed at had been informed in advance that it was our honeymoon and we had private candle-lit dinners and cake cutting(we were almost annoyed by the special treatment given to us by the end of the safari :D)
All in all, I'd definitely recommend Easy Travels to everyone looking to visit Tanzania.

Wonderful experience - perfect services
We booked a safari vacation for 6/7 days/nights with EasyTravel in Tanzania, after two weeks of chatting by mail with Norah, our customer service consultant. Norah provided excellent information about our trip and organized us a perfect Comfort Plus tour: just two of us in a Toyota Land Cruiser and only 4 stars hotel accommodation. We had e perfect time, because we had a great guide/driver: Elias. If guides would have stars, Elias would get 5 stars! He knew everything about Savanna, about animals and their migration, about Masai tribes, about weather, climate... names, stories, education of tribes... my words are not enough for describing the hole lesson Elias gave it to us. Thank you Elias, Norah and Easy Travel. See you soon!
P.S. We've seen more than 50 lions (males, females, cubs... roaring, sleeping, feeding, attacking gazelles, watching the bulls heard), cheetahs attacking gazelles, leopards, serval cat, coyotes, hyenas, antelopes, gazelles, a lot of bulls, wild-beasts, zebras, hipos, elephants (hundreds), giraffes, warthogs, dromedary, dikidiki, turtles, ostriches, baboons, crocodiles, velvet monkeys... and thousands of birds...

10 star! Unsurpassed expeeience
I have been to over 60 countries, using private tour operators in many of them- and Easy Travel is by far my top experience along with Travel Buddies in Mongolia. Without hesitation i would recommend them for any trip to Tanzania ! Traveling alone with 2 teenage boys, they arranged a private tour for us- after literally many hundreds of emails! I was very particular about what i wanted to see and do- and they made sure to maximize my chances of seeing the wilderbeast migration- and we did and it was fantastic! They were perfect in strategizing our itinerary to leave multiple chances to see the migration depending on the unpredictable travel patterns of the wilderbeasts. All The recommendations of Emmanuel and Godfrey were perfect! The Toyota Land Rover was spacious, immaculate clean and comfortable during long drives (they had special padded seat coverings). Even had a fridge for cold drinks and food- and electric outlets! Emmanuel and Godfrey were fantastic in promptly (almost instantaneously) to all my questions and itinerary requests. Patient as saints ! Even on-site last minute requests in itinerary change were accommodated like magic. Their prices were fair and on target with the competitors. The attention to detail, striving (and accomplishing) to provide the best tailored experience and commitment to the guest are unsurpassed! Emmanuel even packed my suitcase for me- bubble wrapping all the breakables which arrived in perfect condition!!!!! Emmanuel went above and beyond to ensure our trip was memorable. Even their lawyer, John Massangwa, was fantastic- above and beyond committed to the well being, safety and great experience of all the guests. Our driver/guide was unbelievable- Endeni- patient beyond belief, knowledgeable (beyond belief), an expert eye for sighting wildlife and energy to keep up w my teenagers' 5 AM departs for game drives (!!!!) , driving til sunset- for 12 days straight! He was hands down the top driver / guide i've had- including trips to Kenya, S Africa and Namibia. Congratulations to the entire Easy Travel team- and particularly to the owner Musaddiq , who clearly is the Captain of his ship and leads by example. Dont even consider another Tour Operator for your Tanzania trip- i cant wait to return with Easy Travel.

An amazing experience
My friend and I did the private tour 6 day safari which included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Easy Travel were fantastic in every way. Fabulous driver and vehicle, the accommodation far exceeded our expectations, the company were easy to deal with and very accommodating and the scenery was stunning. In particular we loved Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks. We are so glad we chose Easy Travel and would highly recommend them to others planning a safari in Tanzania.

More than a five star experience
In july 2017 we went on a six day safari with Easy Travel. We visited the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park. We had the best driverguide; Thomas. He is enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, very attentive to our needs and wishes, and he's very respectful of the nature and the animals we encountered. He's one of the main reasons our safari was such a big success and he made our safari experience perfect! Besides that he has a great sense of humor and we enjoyed his company.
Easy Travel (Norah) made sure it was a very smooth planning process and good communication before, during and after the safari including pre- and post briefings at the office. They made sure we got exactly what we wanted - in fact we got much more than that.
Excellent tour operator for safari. They have guides very expert
Easy an quickly comunication, AAAA service, . Safari was excellent. If you are looking for a perfect tour operator for safari you need to use Easy travel

Excellent tour, pleasant and enjoyable
It was our first trip to Africa and we found that the level of service in Africa, especially that is provided by Easy Travel much better than expected. Norah (the customer relationship staff) was very quick in responding to all of our emails. Emillian, who accompanied us throughout the trip, is a very good, reliable, and knowledgeable driver guide. He even found my phone that was dropped from the jeep somewhere in Serengeti. He has eyes like a hawk and spotted animals that we could not see on our own. Hotels, camps, food, and facilities were very comfortable and enjoyable (we booked the 'Comfort' package and it lived to our expectation). The only thing that did not surprise us was the village tour that involves a visit to a village very similar to where we come from (Indonesia). The village trip should have been replaced by the much sought Maasai village visit (which we eventually did with additional fee). We were also not very comfortable doing the bargaining with the locals at the Maasai village. Otherwise, Easy Travel is fully recommended!

Amazing Safari Experience with Easy Travel!
Easy Travel arranged an amazing safari for us!
We contacted Easy Travel a few months before the safari and asked for information / pricing for a private safari for our small family (mom, dad, four-year old daughter). The communication in the booking process was great. Norah from Easy Travel suggested an itinerary based on our needs. We had quick feedback on questions and received information about traveling on a Safari that helped us prepare. Norah also followed us up during the Safari to ensure that everything was OK. There was also a debrief after the safari with Norah that enabled us to give feedback. This is a professional company that knows how to operate a business.
We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro crater during our safari. We visited Mto wa Mbu village for cultural activity and that was quite good.
We could not have been happier with our guide (Everest). He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He drove on roads / parts of Serengeti that was less crowded and it made the experience feel wild. He is also an extremely good animal spotter.
The camps/lodges were great. Our favorite was the Serengeti Tortilis Camp. This camp is in the middle of Serengeti. I have never been in a hotel/lodge/hotel with more friendly staff. Quite special to stay in the middle of Serengeti with all the wild-life around the camp.
Easy Travel has a new car park that is serviced and maintained. We did see a few cars that was broken down during the safari. You should make sure to check this with your potential safari provider.
Tip; visit the snake park – we had a great guide and it was quite interesting. They also have a Masai museum. We felt the Masai museum and our guide gave more correct/interesting information than we had at a Masai village visit. This was also a lot cheaper than the Masai village visit.

Wonderful Private Safari and Cultural Tanzania Trip!
My wife and I had an unforgettable private safari trip with Easy-Travel(ET). We have contacted a number of Safari trip companies and we are so glad to make the final choice and went with Easy-Travel. Because ET was the last few companies we have contacted, we already had an idea how we wanted to spend the 8-days safari trip. Nonetheless, our consulting agent Godfrey was just so thoughtful and lined out the perfect schedule that we thought it fully utilized our time at Tanzania.
Godfrey was very responsive and clearly answered every questions we had and provided good suggestions. During our trip, we visited Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide was Hamdani, he was just excellent! Consider him the walking encyclopedia of wildlife, plants, geography and history of Tanzania. We didn't know much of wildlife (or very minimum) at the time of starting the trip. At the end, we could easily identify animals, tell their habits etc. It was like we finished a course of Safari-101! Hamdani had eyes of eagles and spotted wild-lives in distance. We were fortunate to catch leopard, the most secretive of the African big fives, three times during our trip. We saw groups of lions and elephants in very close-up distance and got some great picture shots. Not to mention other wild-lives all along our trip. You will get overwhelmed (well, in a good way) of safari animals. What impressed me most about Hamdani was that he was so proud of Tanzania.
Not only the safaris, but also the culture, the people and the nation as a whole. He was a great Tanzania promotor and encouraged us to spread the words of this wonderful nation and we certainly would do.
Another highlight of our trip was the visit to the Hadzabe and Datoga Tribes. It was totally a cultural shock and unique experience. These two tribes are not as advertised as the Masai people but it was very well worth the visit. Thanks to Easy Travel for the arrangement and we were lucky enough to have Mamoya as our local tribe guide. (These tribes speak their own languages). If you are reading this review and interested in some unique cultural experience besides safari. Please find out more and you won't regret!
The lodges and tents that we have stayed:
-Acacia Farm Lodge: Beautiful, very spacious rooms, great food and friendly staff.
-Kisima Ngeda Tented Lodge: Hidden germ, living in the woods, great food, warmhearted owner and staff. Don't forget to climb up the hill to see the sunset!
-Serengeti Tortilis Camp: Luxury in the tents and wild! Hyenas/lions were around at night. Superb staffing and food. Only drawback is that hairdryer is not allowed.
-Mbalageti Tented Lodge: Unbeatable view at the restaurant. A good stop at the Serengeti west corridor.
Easy-Travel logistics and the company:
Easy communication and payment, easy airport pickup and initial briefing. Got a chance to visit their new headquarter at the end of our trip for the farewell briefing. Very well organized company and excellent staffs. Impressed.
Using their slogan on the car to end our review. "Easy-Travel: Your Tanzania Friend". It truly was!
Excellent safari experience with Easy Travel in Tanzania
One of the reasons we picked Easy Travel rather than other safari operators was the professionalism in responding to inquiries and their assistance in the trip planning process. Michael answered numerous questions and helped create an itinerary that worked well for the three of us- giving us a variety of parks and wildlife viewing. The safari more than lived up to our expectations. Our guide Hamdan, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and birds we saw throughout the trip which added to our experience.
