Highest quality customer service with Easy Travel
Australia is a long way from Africa, so I was nervous about booking our safari. After frustrating negotiations with a number of Australian safari agents, I contacted Easy Travel on Trip Advisor. Wilbert responded to my inquiry within 24 hours, suggesting a fantastic itinerary with top quality accommodation for a very competitive price. It couldn't have been easier!
My wife and I had the most fantastic week on safari to celebrate turning 40. From the elephants in Tarangire to the migration on the Serengeti Plains, we felt spoiled every day as we enjoyed our luxury safari tent accommodation, fabulous food and game drives.
A particular highlight was Serengeti Tortilis Camp, nestled in a quiet valley and teeming with wildlife. We sat and watched the sun go down over wildebeest, buffalo, baboons and giraffe just meters from the lavish camp surroundings.
Thanks Easy Travel, in particular Wilbert and Adrian, for an unforgettable week!

Memories to last a lifetime!
Amidst our crazy schedules, overcoming our post-vacation blues and the procrastination, this review has been a long time coming. We felt that we owe this to Easy Travels and Tours for what was the most extraordinary trip of our lives!
We undertook a private 7-day Tanzania Classic safari with ETT in the last week of November. The planning for the same started a couple of months prior to the travel dates. We had heard about the Serengeti, the Masai, the wildebeest migration and the grandeur of African wildlife but that would probably sum up the entire knowledge we had about the adventure that we were going to embark on. After several crude google searches, getting in touch with a few tour operators and obtaining quotes from them, we chanced upon ETT. They were the top-rated tour operator on TripAdvisor with close to 700 reviews rating them 5-stars and very rightly so!
Our initial interactions via email, were with Wilbert. Right from the beginning, we got a sense of being in the right hands. He chalked out a rough itinerary for us based on the duration that we were interested in. We went back and forth a few times and Wilbert was very prompt and courteous in replying to our emails and addressing our concerns. He was also very kind to take a note of our photographic needs and arrange for a bean bag for our camera.
On arrival at Arusha, we were warmly received by our guide and driver Adrian who promised us that it would be trip unlike any other! Just before we headed out to the National Parks, we had the pleasure of meeting Wilbert in person, for a quick safari briefing. He constantly kept in touch with us during the entire trip to make sure we were being taken care of well. After having read dozens of reviews while planning for this trip, we also insisted on meeting Musaddiq, the Director of ETT. His passion for the company was really evident in the short conversation that we had.
Adrian, who eventually became our good friend, was extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, natural history, culture and life in Tanzania. He was enthusiastic and spirited, ensuring that we had the best sighting in each of the national parks we visited. We were lucky to sight Africa’s Big Five, thanks to him! He had an amazing intuitive sense of animal behavior and how to locate them. His eye for spotting wildlife and identifying bird species was impeccable! Adrian’s long standing experience in the African Savannah made us feel that we were in safe hands when we were right in the middle of a herd of elephants in Tarangire National Park! He craftily navigated through slush and dirt tracks in the Serengeti and was adequately equipped to get our vehicle out when one of the tires got stuck in them. We have a deep sense of gratitude for Adrian, our experience would not have been half as wonderful, if not for him!!
Our stay at the Serena lodges was top-class in terms of hospitality, quality of the rooms, and buffet dining experience. We had requested for vegetarian meals and met with the chefs at most of the lodges and they were all kind enough to accommodate our dietary needs. The boxed lunches for our safari day was not something that we would write home about, but had a lot of snackables that kept us more than full.
We are now reliving our time in Tanzania through the hundreds of stunning photographs of wildlife and landscapes taken during the tour. We highly recommend Easy Travels and Tours to all adventure enthusiasts!

Helpful, accommodating, and fun tour company!
Easy travel lives up to it's name - it makes planning a safari simple and fun! Caudence, who helped us plan and book our trip, was extremely responsive, helpful, and warm. She even gave us her cell phone in case we had any troubles in our travels after the safari. I'd recommend our guides, Cornel and Beni, who were knowledgeable, fun, and great at finding and spotting animals. Cornel was especially knowledgeable about all things Tanzania. Overall amazing experience and highly recommend booking a safari through Easy Travel!

Once in a lifetime trip with our children beautifully executed by Easy Travel and Tours!
I picked Easy Travel Tours over other companies I researched due to their timely response to my initial requests, attention to details of what I wanted on our tour, costs and friendliness. They exceeded all of our expectations. We just finished our 13 day safari and beach adventure and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about Easy Travel Tours, the accommodations, the itinerary, and our guide (Emmanuel). Our guide was exceptional and used his extensive knowledge of the area and animals to ensure we saw an abundance of animals up close and personal. We could not have asked for anything more for this trip. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

An amazing experience thanks to Adrian
We can't recommend Adrian and Easy Travel enough. They made sure to go above and beyond to ensure that we had a great holiday, for our 5 day safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was well organized and professional. Adrian was a knowledgeable guide, and a top notch bloke. He could answer anything we asked, and was flexible with any plans. Easy Travel even told us that we could contact them wherever we were in Tanzania, if we needed help with anything at all after our safari. So, all in all, we are so happy that we spent our safari with a lovely, genuine, and knowledgeable guide.

Perfect tour company for family travel
You know what they say about a job well begun ends well, when I worked with Caudence and the way she answered all my questions patiently and guided us through the maze of African Safari I knew that our entire experience with Easy Travels will be good and it did turn out even better than what I imagined. From arranging us the best guides( Emillian and Adrian) and pampering us every step of the way, it felt like a family.
My MIL became sick from the first day of the tour, they way they cared for her and helped us through out the trip was phenomenal.
Just to show how much they care, my son left his most favorite pillow that he has been carrying since he was a baby at a lodge and Emillain made arrangements to have it flown on a private jet to my son few days later.
Also one of our luggages never arrived from Dallas, Caudence kept on it and contacted Emirates every day for us to help us trace our luggage. I am not sure if any other travel company would go to such great lengths to keep their customers happy.
My brother's main agenda in the trip was photography and Adrain helped him so much in that regards by placing the safari vehicle in the right spots to get the best shots.
Their pricing was very competitive and they were very accomodative to all requests we had. Mussadiq and Caudence met us in Arusha and briefed us about our trip
Anyday I would recommend Easy Travel to anyone for Safari Experience. I am so glad we chose them.

Amazing safari w/ Easy Travel!
We took a 7 day safari a few weeks ago - Easy Travel was a fantastic company to work with from start to finish. There are so many tour companies to choose from and we never regretted going with Easy Travel. Everyone at the office was extremely friendly and helpful. The safari itself was an unforgettable experience. Emmilian was our guide and was so knowledgeable and friendly. He knew all of the parks like the back of his hand, and we knew we were in good hands the entire time. Could not recommend this trip and this company more!
