Simply the Best
As a couple with milestone birthdays of 60 and 70 we planned a very special trip. After a lot of research and getting quotes from both UK and Tanzanian companies for a safari to Tanzania’s Northern parks we settled on Easy Travel to work with. We are so glad we did as they delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We decided early on that we would like a private safari with just the two of us and to plan the schedule to see as much of the country and wildlife as possible in a 2 week trip. After many emails this was all planned to meet our needs and our budget. As this was a first time safari we chose a mix of accommodation from large lodges, to small camps covering Lake Manyara, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and finally Tarangire. We then had 4 days on the beach at Res Kutani.
This was booked for September but due to a family issue we asked to move the dates to October. Chislon, the Easy Travel rep who organised the bookings, managed to switch all 8 accommodation bookings and one internal flight in a matter of days.
We also spent some time looking at the Easy Travel web site to see which of their guides we would like to share our company for such a long period. So glad we asked for Herman who we found to be a really lovely person, kind and caring to our needs but more important so knowledgeable on everything we were seeing. He also worked incredibly hard to provide us with the most fantastic experience either of us had ever had. From day one we felt safe in his company and trusted his judgement. Not only is he a very safe driver his wildlife spotting was incredible. From seeking out the big cats, elephants etc to suddenly pulling up to move a dung beetle to safety from the road, to pointing out a tiny frog hiding in a hole in the river bank. He also told us so much about all the animals and birds that he found for us, filling in lots of detail about how they lived - just amazing. As we were parked next to a very large lion one day he said to Julia ‘if the guide isn’t frightened then you shouldn’t be!’ Tanzania is a beautiful country and every day we were amazed and delighted at what it had to offer
The summarise the customer care we received from everyone at Easy Travel was simply the best and we hope to return in a couple of years and we would love to see Herman and Easy Travel again.

Amazing time - amazing trip
We spent 6 days in Tansania after the exercise at Kilimanjaro. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Nanyaro knew every place at these huge national parks and we have seen incredible views from the nature, animals and sunsets. He did guide us to Lions, Cheetahs, Leopard, Elefants, Hyenas, Giraffs and tonns of Zebras, Wilebeesties, Antilopes and Hippos.
It was an incredible experience.
The food, which was cooked by Dula was so good, that it could have been cooked in a noble Restaurant. You cannot believe that it is made in the middle of nowhere. He asked us about our wishes and always pleased us with his meals.
To sum up: We would book this incredible trip every time with Easy Travel again. The guides, the chefs and as well the guys in the background and at the office were always helpful and had big knowledge about the country, government and surely about mother nature. They knew an answer to all our questions.
We are very satisfied and only can reccomend to everbody to book your trip to Tansania with Easy Travel!!
Best safari ever
Easy Travel organized our individual safari via Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro crater, zentral Serengeti, northern Serengeti (Mara-River) and Lake Eyasi (Hadzabe). Our tour agent was Amina. She organized everything very well.
Our tour guide was Herman. He made a fantastic job. He drives very carefully and knows everything about the nature. He is very friendly and reliable and the time with him. When we'll come back to Tanzania we´ll choose him as our guide again.
All accommodations were very good. We enjoyed especially Savannah North Camp.
The safari was an extraordinary experience for us.

Trip of a lifetime
Trip of a lifetime does not even begin to describe our safari adventure. Tanzania is truly a beautiful country, and we got to see the best of it thanks to the team at Easy Travel.
Emanuel was of incredible help and guidance during the planning portion - helping us navigate options, and customize our 7-day safari to cater to our wish list and the must-sees. (Tanzania Safari - 7 Days - Comfort Plus)
And on the ground, we lucked out with Ombeni as our driver (and hero!) - kind, fun, and game for any and every adventure (not even a rainy day stopped him!), we were blessed by his knowledge and patience as we explored Kiliminjaro, Lake Maynara, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
The highlights without a doubt were the Maramboi Tented Camp, the night safari at Lake Manyara National Park, visiting a local school and village, and the balloon ride over the Serengeti.
Lodging throughout was excellent, and far exceeded expectations - the team at Easy Travel ensured that all our dietary restrictions were planned for and managed, and the staff at each hotel (Serena Lodges, Maramboi Tented Cap, Sopa Lodges) were courteous and catered to our every need.
The team at Easy Travel brought our safari dreams to life - we left not only with great memories and stories, but with new friends in Emanuel and Ombeni. I would highly recommend their services and look forward to booking with them again.
Amazing Safari
My daughter & I were recently in Tanzania (Sept 30th - Oct 6, 2016) on a Safari arranged through Easy Travel & Tours & had an amazing time.
Emmanuel Masaoe, the Sales Manager was extremely helpful & gave us tips & took all our requests into consideration in planning our trip. We went to the offices to meet with him for a briefing & changed our itinerary a bit & he accommodated us accordingly. Emmanuel called us every evening to check & made arrangements with the Chefs for the food allergies for my daughter. We were very impressed by his follow-up (given the time difference) & efficiency to make our trip one wonderful experience.
Our Guide for the Kilimanjaro day hike Israel was so knowledgeable, that he made our hike very interesting.
The highlight of our trip was our Safari guide Ombeni Moses / our angel :) He was fabulous & made sure that we had the best experience possible. We were amazed by his knowledge on the animals, birds, people, tribes, Tanzania etc. On his suggestion, we got to experience a night Safari. His spotting of animals was so great that we had some amazing sightings of animals & birds. He is one of the best guides that I have ever come across. Ombeni made our trip so memorable.
Safari of a lifetime!
We booked a 7 day private safari (northern circuit in Tanzania) and 1 day Kilimanjaro Hike with Easy Travel. They were always attentive to our requests while planning our trip even when we had to change our itinerary 1 month before arrival. Once we arrived, their service was everything we could have imagined and more. They provide a warm welcome and trip debriefing at their main office. It was our 10 year anniversary and Easy Travel clearly notified the lodges because we had anniversary cake waiting for us at every one! The accommodations they booked were exactly on point with our desires. The jeep used on the safari was in fantastic condition and very comfortable. But most importantly is the guide. Lets be real, we came to see beautiful parks and amazing animals. Our guide Louis was amazing. His knowledge and experience was clear. He knew every road in every parks and all the other guides. We saw everything you could ever want including 3 migration river crossings in 1 day with 2 crocodile attacks, so many lions, cheetahs, and multiple leopards (one which could have basically jumped onto the jeep! That was on top of all the elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, monkeys, and antelope everywhere. He said we were lucky to see so much, but Louis had a lot to do with that luck. The bottom line is Easy Travel provides a fantastic overall experience at a reasonable price ... With Fantastic Guides that will lead you on an adventure of a lifetime.

Mu husband and me wish to warmly thank Easy Travel and Tours for the wonderful stay in Tanzania, and that we do not forget.

During the planning, Beatrice Mushi, the consultant, was helpful and always quick to reply to our e-mails and many requests. Seddik,our driver/guide was nice, available, patient and really good at finding animals. Perfect organisation, excellent porposals of lodgings; without a doubt, we will recommend Easy Travel to our friends.

more than What I expected
It all started with Mwanaidi Hassan who helped us make all the arrangements. We were picked up at the airport by Elias (our designated guide). The first day we met Mwanaidi and were presented with a basket of goodies as a gift in celebration of our anniversary.
Elias was very accommodating on our way to Tarangire since we needed to get some last minute supplies (Malaria medication) and on our way to Serengeti, (Phyllis got sick the night before and we had to stop at a Pharmacy.
Our goal was to see the wildlife and record our experiences by taking photos. Elias has eyes of an eagle, he was able to spot cats at a great distance and even in the tall grass. We were able to see the big five, and experience watching the wildebeast cross the Mara river. I am pleased with the memories I came back with. The accommodations were excellent, transportation was in great condition. Elias is a great driver, good spotter of wildlife and well mannered individual, and he would go out of his way to take care of your property and for us to have a good experience. Many times I asked him to stop to take photographs of animals, which we just had photographed, however, I was interested on the angle of the shot. He also, made sure that we had a good spot to watch the animals (in relation to the other vehicles) I would recommend him highly. He made sure that we had a complete experience of the wildlife in Africa. Mwanaidi had a surprise for us at a couple of lodges we stayed in. She had communicated to the management that we were celebrating our anniversary and the lodge staff performed the Hakuna Matata song on our last day of stay.
Amazing Safari in Tanzannia
We have chosen the right travel agency--Easy Travel & Tour Co. for our Safari this October. The whole procedure of the arrangement of the safari with the Copmany is quite pleasant and comfortable and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
We are very satisfied with our 6-day safari tour. Accomodation and vehicle is quite good. Particularly,our driver/guide,Amilia, is good and experienced,and also with good knowledge of zoology from which we have benefited a lot. Anyway, everything related to our safari tour lives up to our expectation and some even beyond our expectation.

Great Tours of Arusha Nat'l and Tarangire Nat'l Parks
On our recent Africa trip, we arrived in Arusha and decided to book a couple of day tours. After our research, Easy Travel and Tours was the obvious choice. Mwanaidi was most helpful in making the arrangements, and we selected day tours to Arusha National Park and Tarangire National Park. These proved to be excellent choices. Mwanaidi suggested we visit Arusha National Park first and add to our visit a walking safari with an armed park ranger and a canoe safari. These were easily added to our day visit and were well worth the additional cost. Walking among the abundant wildlife was spectacular, and our canoe venture yielded our first sighting of a hippo and her baby. There is nothing like seeing a hippo from water level, and the abundance of pink flamingos at this time of year was a special treat. The only downside to our visit was that controlled burns of the brush were underway that day, but that hardly put a damper on our adventure. Our second day had us at the Tarangire National Park and it too was exceptional. Elephants were in abundance - simply spectacular. A drive safari is only as good as your guide and driver and we were fortunate to have Louis as our guide for both trips. His former role as a park ranger and his knowledge of the plants and wildlife were exceptional, and he knew just where to go. Louis always went above and beyond in making our trip enjoyable, and when I forget my travel vest aboard his vehicle at the end of day two, he made a special effort to get it back to me later in the week. You just can't get any better. These guys are the best! Thanks Mwanaidi and Louis for making our first experience of Africa so very special!
