Safari Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We had an amazing experience on Safari travelling for 5 days with our guide Abisay through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Abisay was highly knowledgeable, very professional, the best driver of Tanzania and simply fun to be around. Finding animals and navigating the roads under rain is not easy, and we saw more animals we had ever thought was possible including from close by. And we learned a lot about the animals, the parks, country, culture and language. Can't recommend Easy. Travel&Tours and especially Abisay enough!

Once in a lifetime climb!
This was an amazing experience, and extremely well organized and executed. My experience going into this was a lot of time camping and going on big day hikes and a few multi day backpacking trips, but I hadn't done serious mountain climbing or anything with serious altitude. The guides were excellent at preparing us for what each day was going to feel like. They checked vitals and symptoms morning and night to see how we were doing physically, and took it seriously (one of our members ended up going down early, which was absolutely the right call). The porters carried all the heavy equipment, gear and food, we each just had a day pack with water, snacks and rain gear. They provided as much clean drinking water as we needed at each camp, and some warm water for washing up. The porters seem to be treated well, and they all spoke highly of Easy Travel as a good and fair company to work for. The guides were responsive to the pace our group wanted to set, and overall made it a really wonderful experience (despite being physically long and difficult!) Would highly recommend to a friend. Musa, Charles and Hamid were all amazing guides!

Omega is the best!
I’ve taken a lot of trips and this is definitely up there with the best of them. We did a 6 day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks.
Some of the many highlights of our trip with easy travel include:
- The booking process with Masuma was flawless. She helped us set up a phenomenal trip to cover exactly what we wanted. She supported us when one of our bags got lost and checked in frequently to make sure we were having a great trip.
- our guide Omega was just fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the wildlife, parks and local cultures. He’s got eagle eyes and spotted so many animals and birds that we never would have. He’s a safe and skilled driver and we never got lost. It’s the people you meet who make a trip and Omega was so much fun and takes time to get to know you. He honestly made this trip for us. If you’re booking with easy travel definitely ask for Omega. You won’t regret it.
- the wildlife was just breathtaking. We saw so many lions including 3 hunting a pumba, a few leopards including one up close, 2 rhinos from a distance, a serval, some cheetahs and countless other animals
- the accomodation was lovely. We stayed in 3 tortilis camps where the staff greeted you with home comforts. You’re surrounded by wildlife and treated like family with a lot of singing and dancing! They also served up great food. We capped the trip off with a stay a lahai lodge which i’d highly recommend!
This was an amazing experience. Thank you Omega and team for making our holiday so memorable!

Excellent experience
Absolutely loved the trip. One of the most important things during a trip like these is having a brilliant guide. Everest was for us the best guide to wish for. He was great with our kiddo and it was amazing how much knowledge he has from the wildlife. Keep it up guys.

It all starts with the people!
From the moment we landed in Arusha we felt incredibly welcomed and cared for. I have been lucky and blessed enough to participate in multiple international tour groups. This is the best I have ever been with. Mbuya is incredible. He is kind, patient, and loved our kiddos and all of their 1000 questions (traveling as 6, mother in law, sister in law, wife and two kiddos, 9 and 6). Anyone that would like to plan a trip to Tanzania, I 100% will be recommending Easytravel to each and every one of them! I mean what I said that the people within the company from my initial booking until we departed after the safari were some of the most friendly and easy to work with. We cannot wait to come back!

Best experience with best tour guide
Wonderful experience on our tour of the national parks in Tanzania with the best guide ever! The tour was well planned and the accommodations were impeccable.
But the highlight of the trip was our tour guide Mbuya (Everest). A guide can really make or break a trip, and he truly made the trip one to remember. He was so knowledgeable about the parks and animals and the culture and provided great overviews but also went into detail when warranted or asked. We never felt rushed when in the parks but felt like we saw everything we wanted to see. As I saw how other guides interacted with their group, I knew he was special because of how well he engaged with us. Thank you Easy Travel for partnering us with Mbuya.

Tanzania safari with 9 and 6 year olds, mom & dad, an aunt and a grandma - the trip of a lifetime!
This was a trip of a lifetime to experience a 6 day safari from Chicago to Arusha with two younger children. Easy travel made our pre-trip planning extremely straightforward. Once we were in-country, our dedicated guide for the week - Mbuya - made everything smooth and amazing. His keen eye for finding the animals was second to none and we deeply appreciated his ability to pace our days to meet our needs. He drove like a champion on rough roads and in crazy flash rains, and clearly tried to make the drive less bouncy for the older person in our group. Most importantly, he treated my kids like family. They adored him from day one and grew to love him over the week. They will miss their Mbuya when we are back home and reliving these wonderful memories that he helped us create. Thank You!!
Great Family Safari
We are having a great trip! This is our 3rd safari and we are loving it! The itinerary and the accommodations have been great! Harry, our driver, is excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly. So far, we have seen over 30 lions, many kind of antilopes, hippos, giraffes, elephants and many more. The migration is incredible. I highly recommend our driver as he has been great at taking care of us and being prudent in rain conditions. Easy Travel has been easy to deal with - we have been very satisfied.
Great Family Trip
This trip was amazing and great route made by easytravel. We saw lots of animals and had a great time. Our guide Harry was great and attentive to each member of the family. Drove great and very safely. All around the trip was great and we enjoyed !!
first time in Africa and what a great time
It was absolutely fabulous . We had a wonderful driver Harry very pleasant taking great care of us to the point where he thought for our luncheon out to bring tobacco to my grand son. One major point that is essential he Ann excellent safe driver . He knows the territory inside out is never lost even if has to take detours because of flooded routes. He is also very knowledgeable could answer all our questions and would even give information before we ask anything. He’s a very pleasant person for us but we can see by how he interacts with other drivers that his colleagues really appreciate him. The tour is allowing to have a great perspective on Tanzania country and national parks . I think easy travel &tours did a wonderful job in making the best of our 7 days tour. I have liking for lions and we’ve seen up to now more than 30 lions , for me that shows the itinerary was perfect .
bref i would start the whole experience all over again and recommend pour com p;an y and our chauffeur harry with great pleasure.
Do not miss the hot air balloon despite the early rise
