Amazing 10 day Private Safari with Easy Travel Tanzania
We took a 10-day luxury private tour with Easy Travel Tanzania, and it was incredible. Julieth in the main office was very helpful and made planning everything go smoothly. Our lodging started with the Gran Melia hotel in Arusha, then tent camping at Oliver's Camp in Tarangire, cabin lodging at Soroi Serengeti, more traditional luxury lodge at Melia Ngorongoro and lovely cabins at Retreat at Ngorongoro and all of them were outstanding choices. Finally, and most important of all, our driver/guide was Wilfred Fue, and he befriended us and informed us through an awesome 10 days where we saw almost too many lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, birds, gazelles, wildebeests etc. We saw cheetah chase and kill a baby gazelle, saw a black rhino with her baby, and had elephants walk within an arm’s length of our open windows (but don't touch). The night game drive at Oliver's was exhilarating to say the least with a male lion walking right by our open sided vehicle. I recommend resolving the following questions to increase your odds of a good safari experience: (1)decide if you want to see the Great Migration or just see lots of discrete herds or smaller groups of animals up close; (2)decide if you want to be in tents really "close to nature" - which means live animals walking by your tent at night - something that can be quite scary for some or instead be in more protected lodges and hotels; (3)decide how much luxury you need and can afford - remember it is Africa; (4)realize that driving around is VERY rough and difficult and time consuming; (5)follow the advice of Easy Travel in what to bring and in all instances do as instructed by the guide and the staff at the various lodges and camps. If they say "call to be escorted to dinner or the main lodge after dark" then by all means do so. We had a pride of lions, a pack of hyenas, a leopard, a cape buffalo, and an elephant all walk through the main part of different camp lodgings on different days while we were there. It would be bad to encounter those at night alone. We cancelled the walking safari to Empakaai Crater for our 8th day because we were tired and instead, we took a day to just sleep in and relax at Melia Ngorongoro with its heated pool, spa massage, and extensive fitness centre and it was great - might be something to consider as it can be tiring to be on the go so hard for ten days straight. Would not change anything in the world that we did. We cannot thank Julieth and Wilfred for our unforgettable experience and for adjusting things as we went along.

Amazing trip, outstanding guide
Had a truly once in a lifetime experience.
Maila Kanani was our guide during our trip and it’s really thanks to him that we had such a memorable experience.
He really pulled the extra mile so we could seize every opportunity to see rare animals.
He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and plants which helped us understand this amazing landscape.
He’s a genuinely nice and professional person.
Definitely would recommend him.
Thank you for EasyTravel to have organized everything for us and making this trip very smooth and enjoyable.

So much care went into making our experience unforgettable
Easytravel have made our safari experience one to remember!
Booking the safari was super smooth with Voice who communicated quickly and clearly via WhatsApp. She created the perfect itinerary to suit us and sent us lots of information in advance to help us prepare
When we arrived, we had a lovely welcome from our driver Salvatory and Voice and Rukia also briefed us before as well as giving us a lovely cake to celebrate our honeymoon.
The safari was incredible, we spent 4 days driving around Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Salvatory was a brilliant guide as he shared lots of information on the animals and was able to answer the many questions we had. He maximised our safari time and was always able to track down the animals so we saw all the animals we had hoped for!
The accomodation we stayed in was magical with the most beautiful rooms and views. We only wished we could stay longer!
Thanks so much for such a wonderful experience!!

Best Tanzanian Safari ever. All the arrangements were perfect and there were ZERO issues!
1.Out of this world experience in Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Tanzania with Easy Travel and Tours Tanzania
This was the best Safari that I ever have been on! Our tour guide Luis Constantino was excellent and knowledgeable in all fields!
It was a very pleasant experience with him.
Easy Travel and Tours Tanzania are extremely professional and quick to respond on any questions, night or day!
2. Serengeti migration, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro - tailor made safari
EasyTravel arranged a tailor made tour for us according to our requests, and with their knowledgeable advice. We wanted to see the migration and we did! We wanted to see the vast plains of the Serengeti, the birds of East Africa, and we did! Our guide - Luis Constantino- was superb and accommodated our requests and went to great lengths to show us the Serengeti. We saw rock climbing lions, many hippos and got to learn a lot of Swahili. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, and even though we know wildlife well, he taught us many things. Many guides would chase after sightings and be inconsiderate on the roads, but Luis has a humble, compassionate character and kept the pace relaxed, and spotted many things with his sharp eyesight, also reading the animals behavior to know whether predators are around- and then he spots the predators. Luis treated us like family and really took care of every arrangement on our trip, from booking in at the Parks’ gates, at the different accommodation and arranging our picnic meals according to our preferences. Luis knows the the Serengeti roads like the back of his hand.
We really enjoyed Lake Manyara with him, as we are keen birders and he really surprised us with searching them out. He really went the extra mile.
We felt safe with him and we could just sit back and relax and enjoy our safari.
We made a new friend!
Value for your money for sure.

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY ESSENTIAL WAY.
1.A one-of-a kind experience!
Ombeni was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed sharing Tanzanian and American gospel music with him.
He made sure we had plenty of food to eat both on our travels and at our hotel reservations, and was able to accommodate our diets.
He guided us through a busy market in Arusha to find clothing and spices, patiently teaching us Swahili and translating for us.
Along the tour, he made sure to give us time and opportunity for great pictures and was expertly skilled at spotting animals and wildlife from far away.
We felt safe at *all times* and that our luggage was properly secured within our van and hotels.
The highlight of this experience for me was being welcomed by a Maasai village and observing their customs, dance, and craftsmanship. We admire that Easy Travel supports these communities in giving clean water, money, and school supplies and we intend to donate through this agency.
When our flight changed unexpectedly, he helped us check-in, and drove us directly to the airport (4+ hours) fast and efficiently.
I would recommend Ombeni's service and Easy Travel to anyone interested in a life-changing experience. 10/10.
2.Outstanding. Knowledge, decency, hospitality unmatched in all of our life travels. Recommend without reservation.
Ombeni was a fantastic guide who made us feel at home on safari and treated us like family. He made sure to learn what each family member liked and showed the interest, respect and care any person would want. Voice Gerson managed our trip in the most professional and personal manner. Easy Travel eliminated most all of our travel worries so that we really did experience Hakunah Matada.
3.Trip of a lifetime
We had the trip of a lifetime! Our guide Ombeni was very experienced and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. We saw the BIG 5! Ombeni was an excellent driver and provided us with everything that we needed to enjoy long hours in the vehicle. After spending so many days with him we consider him part of our family. Voice Gerson of Easy Travel provided the best customer experience that I have ever had when planning a vacation. She and Ombeni ensured that our vacation was enjoyable.

Professional
My husband and I were on our honeymoon. The tour leader in the car, Herry, was very attentive in explaining various animal knowledge to us. The driving process was very safe and smooth. There were many animals and beautiful scenery during the process, which made people want to come back again❤️

Full service and peace of mind
We just had an amazingly wonderful, smooth 9-day wildebeest migration safari through Easy Travel, expertly coordinated and carried out from start to finish. We felt especially lucky because we only started inquiring less than 2 months before our trip. I researched leading companies and inquired with 5-10 of them. Easy Travel provided the itinerary with the most days in the northern Serengeti (where the wildebeest were predicted to be) and most variety of top quality tented lodge sites, at prices on par with or even better than other companies. Julieth, our travel specialist, was responsive and available literally from start to finish, not only online, but in person at the beginning and end of our trip, and checking in by phone in the middle.
Innocent, our airport transfer driver, was respectful, friendly, and timely picking us up and dropping us back to JRO airport.
The highlight of our trip was having Abisai M. as our driver guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything—animals, birds, plants and trees, geology, the history and culture of Tanzania, etc. He had an eagle eye, able to find and identify distant animals that I could barely even make out when told about them. His driving was impeccable on the very rough terrain, and his navigation skills were unbelievable through the vast, flat Serengeti where even established dirt roads are unmarked. It was clear to us that he was respected by other guides, and he readily helped them if needed, with directions, vehicle breakdowns, and more. Above all, he was accommodating and gladly willing to work with all of our requests. He made our trip come to life!
During our trip I learned some details about why Easy Travel stands out among the dozens of other safari companies. They invest in their staff, providing great training and hiring many women from the community. They do detailed inspections and maintenance on their vehicles after every trip. They hire only experienced driver guides after extensive interviews that include a long drive into the parks. They prioritize safety above all.
One last point to mention. We are an LGBT family with a 10-year old child, and always felt welcomed, never once feeling any negativity from anyone during our entire trip. I hope this helps others like us feel confident to book with Easy Travel. We are so very glad we did—it was the experience of a lifetime!!

10-star experience!!!!!!!!!!
We had 9 safari days in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire that went beyond our dreams and expectations. Everyday, we saw so many different animals, birds and plants. Our guide and naturalist, Abisai Mbasha, went above and beyond to make our experience very memorable. Everyday, he impressed us with his knowledge of the flora and fauna. He has an amazing eye and ability to identify animals such as a cheetah in the grass to small bird species. He was also funny and joyful which made the long distances and bumpy roads go easily. He always answered our questions thoughtfully and was very kind to our child. In addition to amazing pictures and memories, we left our safari knowing a lot more about nature and culture in Tanzania, and a deeper appreciation and respect for all the guides who work so hard to have all travelers have a good experience.

Unforgitable 60th Wedding Aniversary Safari With Musa Harrison
If you are looking for a Safari tour then you can stop looking and book this one with Easy Travel. The entire team starting from the booking service and tour coordinator are so professional and easy to work. The trip itself was absolutely fantastic and has everything you could need to feel like you are on an actual expedition. Out driver for the 7 day tour was Musa whom was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the wilderness from flora to fauna. He was the most professional and standup guy you could ask for. If we were to go again on tour we would 100% book with Easy Travel and also request Musa as our guide. He was an expert tracker and found every animal we could think of including the Big 5 if that is your goal. Furthermore the team at the comfort camps have literally provided the best service I have ever had on my travels including some luxury hotels. On top of that the food is amazing and I still can’t believe the Chefs were able to produce such delicious meals in the middle of the wilderness. Oh and you can and will see and hear wildlife while on camp! Sleeping to sounds of lions and hyenas! Seriously if you are still reading just book this.

Awesome
Going on a Safari was at the top of our list for travel. A friend of our recommended Easy Travel to help us plan our trip. Helen, our agent, took over and helped us plan a wonderful trip. She was so friendly and very easy to understand and made us feel completely comfortable with our decisions.
Also, our friend recommended a guide to ask for. Claus was awesome to spend 7 days with. He was very friendly and accommodating but more than that, he knew exactly where to go and led us to see a lot of exciting animals. Even when the animals were hiding and being quiet, Claus kept trying his hardest to show us the beautiful landscape of Africa.
We would highly recommend Easy Travel!!!
