Nice!
We have a great experience in Tanzania with Easy Travel & Matoke. Everything was well organized. Thanks to our guide Adrien. He is experienced and professional. We almost see all the scenes and wild animals that we expected. During the trip, we saw many cars broken down with different reasons. But we just changed one tire. Highly recommended!

Excellent Local Operator - Don't Bother Looking Anywhere Else
We had a tailored made 6 day safari in Tanzania. I worked a long time with Norah and Masuma in the office to design the perfect safari for us. Nothing was too much trouble - their attention to detail is outstanding. Musa was assigned as our driver/tour guide and he was absolutely awesome- couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He located cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocs etc. He also managed to locate the crossing of the wild wildebeest which was an unbelievable experience as well as the hot air balloon. Musa was amazing, thoughtful, funny, extremely knowledgeable and considerate driver. Musa joined in with my 2 teenage children singing African regaee songs in the jeep - we had a lot of fun and my kids were mesmorised by the animals.
I chose Easy Travel because from the moment that you contact them to the very end of your holiday, they are EXTREMELY efficient with friendly outstanding service. They are a LOCAL tour operator in Tanzania so you don't need a middle tour operator in the UK or US (so more cost efficient too especially when you are choosing luxury accommodation!). You can trust them completely and they go the extra mile on everything. My teenage daughter also has a peanut allergy and they rang ahead at every accommodation to reaffirm that our dinners and lunches on safari (you can't call them picnics because it was tablecloths, hot food and wine! You can choose a picnic if you prefer!) were all nut free. The chef came out every night without us even asking.
Thanks to the whole team - out of this world luxury accommodation with fine cuisine and the best tour guide. We have returned to England and this holiday has had quite an effect on us - poli poli, Hukuna Matata.
Adrian is an exceptional tour guide!
We had an incredible trip with Easy Travel! We covered Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, and saw so many animals in each park thanks to our guide Adrian. Adrian made the trip! He is so knowledgeable and thoughtful; he has a deep understanding of the parks and where to go depending on the season as well as a wealth of knowledge about different animals and their habits. Seeing so many animals was the highlight (we saw the big five and so many more), but the driving makes the difference in the comfort of the trip. Adrian is such a great, experienced driver, which is critical to the experience as the roads and paths aren’t smooth!
I would tell my friends and family to go with Easy Travel and I’d tell them to request Adrian!

Made our dream safari come true
Easy travel was an extremely efficient and organised company to travel with. The staff we met out in Tanzania were incredible and made our holiday experience. As well as this, the staff who helped us organise this trip were amazing and set up a personalised safari with a tour guide who is definitely a friend for life. They made sure we had everything needed such as binoculars, delicious lunches, fresh water, snacks and listened out on the radio so that we could see the animals at every opportunity. This was the best holiday ever and a life experience I shall cherish forever.

An amazing 6 days in the Serengeti and NgoroNgoro
We can't help but express our gratitude for the awesome adventure curated by Easy Travel & Tours through a 6-day safari. Voice brought logistical excellence, guiding us patiently as we weighed our options, eventually crafting a custom itinerary that had us exceeded our wildest dreams of what a Serengeti (both North and Central) and the NgoroNgoro Crater safari could be. Each camp we stayed in, thanks to her suggestions, welcomed us warmly along with our fantastic guide Simone, offering cozy beds and fantastic staff. As vegetarians, sometimes travel food options are can be a challenge or an afterthought. That wasn’t the case on this trip! Each camp worked to make sure that regardless of dietary restrictions, we were well fed with delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Simone, our guide, was the star of the show! His knowledge and passion for Tanzania’s wildlife and the incredible variety of habitats we visited was amazing. His sharp eye was on point, spotting Lions, leopards, cheetahs, antelope and gazelles, elephants, zebras, baboons, vervet monkeys, and Tanzania’s national animal, the stately giraffe.
Simone was not just a guide; he was great companion as we explored the parks, sharing fun and insightful stories about our respective cultures throughout the week. He added that extra sparkle to our trip, and we’re already chatting about when we can make it back for another adventure with Easy Travel and of course, Simone, with more of our family.
We picked Easy Travel initially because we wanted to support a locally based and owned outfit in Tanzania. Turns out, it was a great choice and we totally recommend them for anyone looking to experience a safari.

An 8 day super exciting safari-trip through Tanzania’s Serengeti area with Mussa Harrison
We have booked our self compiled Safari at Matoke tours. We have travelled 8 days to Tarangire, Serengeti, we saw the great crossing, and after that the Ngorongoro crater with Mussa Harrison as our magnificent guide/driver. What a great kind and warm driver, with his sharp eyes he spotted the Leopard but also the Cheetah. All his knowledge over the different areas and residents, mostly Masai and his knowledge of all the animals, made the Safari unforgettable for us.
The highlights which we saw were the great crossing (3 x), the leopard, the cheeta’s with children and all the lions hunting, eating and sleeping.
The hyena took the prey from the cheeta’s, the crocodile attacks the gnu, what have we not seen ?
The timing, the place to be, is the result of Mussa’s knowledge, experience and devotion. Mussa again many thanks for this unforgetable Safari tour.
The accomodations Planet Lodge Arusha, Tarangire Tortilles Camp, Serengeti Tortilles Camp, Serengeti River Camp and Ngorongoro Tortilles Camp are all above expectations (Jambo Jambo Karibu). One remark for all, the beds where a bit too hard for us, but all the people/staff/teams were friendly and very helpfull. We won’t forget you to make this an amazing trip.

Unforgettable safari ! Amaizing experience
To discover Ngorongoro crater even if Tarangire was amaizing. Starting by Tarangire Park and continuing to Ngorongoro is a good choice. Valence, our french speaker guide, is very professional, nice person who is listening us. He contributes to make this safari unforgettable!

Musa, Charles, & their team's outstanding Kilimanjaro Trek
I know this review is long but I hope you take the time to read it because I cannot say enough good things about Musa, Charles, and their team. If you can book them for your adventure up Kilimanjaro, do it! You will not be disappointed because they are the ones who got me to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Without them I would not have succeeded. While the gear was top notch (great tents, thick sleeping pads, very warm sleeping bags, fantastic private toilet tent, plus more) and the back office support of Easy Travel great, it was the dedication of and service provided by Musa, Charles and the trekking team that stands out. Their attention to detail and regularly providing service above and beyond the call of duty was inspiring and much appreciated. For example, on a number of the days, after breaking camp, carrying everything to the next site and setting it up, many of the team back tracked along the trail to meet us to lend support and encouragement. Our “trail angels” as we took to calling them, seemed to know just when to show up to lighten our load, providing us with that extra spark of encouragement that enabled us to see the day through to the end. Something, that at my age of 63, I’m not ashamed to admit that I needed. Also other hikers, after observing the attention we were given by Musa, Charles, and the team, and asking if we were paying extra for the heightened level of service, were surprised to find out the answer was no. They also seemed a bit envious. However, it is not surprising coming from a team that has a commitment to the single unifying goal, which they shared with us several times, of getting us safely to the summit and then down. A commitment they demonstrated time and again, putting actions to their words. And I would be remiss if I did not also call out the outstanding food provided by the team Chef, Said. His delicious dishes provided us with the energy we needed to power on. So, if you have the dream of making it to the summit of Kilimanjaro, Musa, Charles, and their team can help you fulfill it! They truly are dream makers.

6 Day Easy Travel Tanzania Safari with Denis
I can't say enough good things about Denis who drove us around the amazing parks of Tanzania for 6 days on our game drives. Although I have no other driver to compare him to, I can’t think that many, if any, could surpass his game spotting ability, attention to detail and service. Every morning Denis arrived ahead of schedule and ready to go with a cleaned and stocked Land Cruiser. And then once we were on our way we were thrilled with all the wildlife Denis was able to show us. I know I will miss some but from multiple Cheetahs, Leopards, Lions to numerous to count, Hyenas, Elephants, Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Dik-diks, Wildebeest, Impalas, and Baboons, Zebras, and Gazelles galore, along with Denis’ favorite - the Topi, he showed us it all. His game spotting ability was typified by him spotting a python in a tree as we drove down the road. How he was able to pick it out in a tree while driving down the road is still amazing. So if you want to see all the game Tanzania has to offer as well as its lovely landscape then Denis is your driver and Easy Travel the team to make it happen with him.

Trip of a life time - Amazing Safari and Guide
East Travel was so amazing to work with. They customized a very extensive 4 day safari for my wife and I, and were incredibly accommodating in the planning process. They were fast and responsive in communication and even helped us when our departing flight to Zanzibar got delayed.
The safari was amazing and our guide Louis was simply the best. He was very friendly, made us feel safe and truly was a personal encyclopedia on all things Tanzania. He has 30 years of experience guiding, used to be a park ranger in the Serengeti and everywhere we went people knew him and mentioned how lucky we were to have him. He always knew the best places to go and even managed to help us see the big 5 animals! Highly recommend Easy Travel and if you can, request Louis as a guide!
