Big Five and so much more!!!
We booked an 11 days individual safari program in the northern circuit including Tarangiere, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater, Ndutu region and central Serengeti. Already before coming to Tanzania the contact and planning was excellent - thank you so much again Mwanaidi!!! Our guide and driver for the trip was Gerald. He is a very experienced guide (20 years on safari) who seems to know everything about the animals, the Massai and Tanzania in general. We kept asking questions and always got very comprehensive answers. This is something so important for such kind of a trip - thank you very much again - Gerald!!! Besides, we had all the time we wanted to watch the animals and take pictures. The accommodations were also beyond our expectations.
Even for the not predictable things they took good care of us. My flight was delayed by one day and later during the trip my friend got sick and we had to spend a night in a hospital. However, in the end we almost didn't miss anything since they rearranged our itinerary accordingly.
As so many others already said before - Go with Easy Travel and you will have a wonderful trip!!!

Great Safari week with Easy Travel
In February we spent a great week with the best driver guide Emanuel in the north of Tanzania. Also the preparations have gone great. We were wonderfully advised and looked after by Caudence. We were specifically informed about our wishes, they did not try to sell a "standard program". We have already booked a year in advance, so that the tax increases and the increase of the national park fees in June 2016 hit us completely. With the help of Caudence, we were able to absorb the largest part of the costs - visibly through minor changes in our program – thank you so much for that, Caudence. What I particularly liked during the booking was that we received immediately after the money- transfers a confirmation for the amounts paid. So we felt at each time well cared for.
The 6 day safari with Emanuel was a very special experience that we enjoyed very much. To our great surprise and joy, Emanuel spoke very good German, (he is too modest), which has made the explanation for flora and fauna easier. He was a very nice, lovable companion and an outstanding driver and at the same time animal-watcher. It was incomprehensible to us how he could still discover animals on the roadside in the partial prevailing poor road conditions (partly strong floods). Particularly nice I found also the support by Easy-Travel on site. My husband suffered on arrival due to a somewhat uneasy flight. Albert from the Easy Travel office has repeatedly asked himself whether my husband was better. We were also very pleased with the closing talk with Albert - if we had had any complaints, we could have cited them here - but we were able to express our praise. We are very glad that we have dared to book the safari on the Internet with the local tour operator Easy-Travel. Our expectations were far exceeded, we can recommend Easy-Travel warmly and wish all committed employees for the future all the best!

EASY as ABC
My wife and I decided to go on a safari honeymoon after our wedding and Easy Travel & Tours really made our lives easy for us. All we had to do was to inform our account manager what we would like to do and how many days we would like to spend safari-ing and presto! Our safari itinerary is born! Besides that, the company does deliver good on their promises on quality of accommodation and boarding. The experience is all the more enhanced by our guide, who will try his best to scout for animals we would like to see. If you are still hesitant, I'd advise you to drop Easy Travel an email to enquire about your upcoming Safari experience!

Easy Travel did an amazing job with our safari to Tanzania from beginning to end.
My husband and I booked our 12 day Tanzania safari with Easy Travel and can honestly say they exceeded our expectations. From the beginning when we started planning the details of the trip, 9 months prior, they were extremely responsive, knowledgeable and professional. The communication throughout was excellent. On the trip we had the best driver/guide one could hope for. Herman is an animal behavior and bird expert. We spent 12 days with him and parted as friends. He really made our trip amazing.
We can't say enough of the team at Easy Travel. Thanks to all of them! We have already recommended them to two friends of ours.

Superb experience and service from beginning to end!
I would highly recommend Easy Travel and would use again if in the region. The communication and service was excellent, Beatrice responded to all our queries in a timely fashion and provided comprehensive information it was one of the reasons we choose this company out of the initial 3 that we contacted during the initial planning stages. We had a fabulous experience and were so pleased we went with Easy Travel. It truly was an experience of a life time, friends back home are so amazed at the photo's I managed to take of the animals as well as the places we stayed and the food. The service at all the lodges and tented camps were also excellent.

Exceptional safari company!
Easy Travel provided us with the best possible safari we could have imagined. From the beginning planning stages to the end, the staff went above and beyond in making sure we had a great time. The staff was genuinely friendly and really cared to make our honeymoon one full of fun and surprises. Our guide, Luis, was absolutely wonderful - with in depth knowledge of the parks, the animals, and the timing of it all. In speaking to friends who have gone on safaris, other travelers while on our own, and locals, I can confidently say that Easy Travel is the best safari company out there.
3 day safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara
Following a lot of research, and contacting most of the Arusha based safari operators listed by the Tanzanian Tourist Agents Licensing Authority, we opted for a safari that suited our time and budget. We choose Easy Travel as, in addition to positive reviews here, they were really helpful and responsive on email, were happy to accommodate our specific itinerary requests (limit drive times, include Oldupai Gorge), and offered lodge accommodation (at the fabulous Olea Africana Lodge) at a really reasonable cost. Also, they facilitated secure credit card payment through an on-line system. Our guide, Deo, is local to the area, and has decades of experience both as both a guide and driver and made the safari for us; he was able to locate and point out animals we never would have spotted; he has in-depth knowledge of the animals and their environment, and was able to tell us a lot of the history and culture also. I would have no hesitation in booking to book our next trip with Easy Travel.

Unforgettable experience!
I have recently returned from a 7 day comfort safari with Easy Travel and Tours and can surely recommend this travel agency to anyone planning their trip to Tanzania! They create a very welcoming atmosphere throughout the whole trip and above all, they try to give you the best safari experience possible.
From the first contact via email, Beatrice took a very good care of me, she was very quick and informative in her responses, and a real pleasure to deal with. Gerald was my guide and driver, and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable, with 15 years of experience as a guide, he was able to explain in detail animals’ behavior and way of life. He also has a true eagle eye and was able to spot animals even in a far distance! The Easy Travel lodge selection is great, especially the Tortilis Camp in the middle of Serengeti – you cannot get closer to animals than that!
The whole safari has been fantastic and unforgettable, and I think it’s a holiday you can never compare to anything else you did before. In a way, it’s a real privilege to be able to get so close to animals and simply observe their life. I would and hopefully will use Easy Travel again in the future! Thank you so much for everything!

A perfect trip!
Together with my sister and father, I went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro National Park and Mafia Island. My sister had before travelled with Easy Travel and did so again this time, because everything had been perfect.
Our guide Emilian was very nice & friendly, answered all of our many and partly very specific questions about the wildlife and the country and was driving without a rush. That way, we saw so many different animals that you normally don't get to see (others were rushing through the park like crazy): Cerval, Karakal, Cheetah cubs...
Also the trip to Mafia and Zanzibar were organised very well, the hotels and especially the tent camp were great and the staff always friendly and attentive. Our contact Caudence was very sweet, keeping track and calling us to see if everything went well. Normally, I'm more of an independent traveller, but would definitely recommend planning a trip with Easy Travel!
Excellent safari experience with Easy Travel
We had been thinking about going to Africa for several years but it was daunting to find a good safari operator and wondering whether to go to Kenya or Tanzania. After reading the reviews on Trip advisor this September we chose Easy Travel as our safari operator, and very happy to say that the ease with which the company handled all our many questions, payments etc. was very smooth and easy indeed. Their prices were also pretty reasonable, they were willing to work with us, even arranging for vegetarian food for 6 safari days.
We chose a private safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngrongoro crater. We were met at the airport by our guide Ombeni, some part of our luggage did not arrive, but when it did arrive Easy Travel managed to reach it to us somewhere on the road to Serengeti. Ombeni was amazing at spotting wild life, very patient and knowledgeable about the wild life. Our trip would have fallen flat without him. We learnt a lot about Tanzania, it’s people and culture thanks to Ombeni.
All the accomodations were very good, at Arusha we stayed at the African Tulip, in Tarangire at the Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, in Manyara at the Lake Manyara Tented Safari Camp, in Serengeti at the Tanzania Bush Camp and finally at the Acacia Lodge in the Crater. The most memorable was our stay two night stay at the Tanzania Bush Camp right in the heart of Serengeti. One can hear the animals calls in the night and wake up to seeing herds of wildebeest and buffaloes walk by our tented cabin…… unforgettable. We had a sampling of authentic Tanzanian food at a visit to a village near Tarangire which was part of the safari package. Unfortunately the most disappointing part of the safari was the Ngrongoro crater game ride. On this particular morning there was not much wild life to see, but that sometimes is the way it is. On the whole a fantastic safari experience with Easy Travel….. really a trip to remember a life time!
