Absolutely amazing, 12 out of 10
5/5

Our trip with Louis was amazing, his expertise meant that we saw most of the animals on our list within 24 hours, which gave us plenty of time to see other things we hadn't dreamed of! We saw lions stalking prey, a lion guarding a kill, and the rarer animals like leopard and rhino. Louis' knowledge of the areas and of the animals meant we often saw animals when other tours were still looking. He never seemed to tire of our questions or of helping us to get in the right spot for awesome photographs. We were often the only people there watching the animals due to his impeccable sense of timing. I've already recommended Louis and Easy Travel to a few friends and will not hesitate to recommend him in the future.

Masuma, the travel agency's contact window, was very friendly and responded quickly to our questions. The guide Aniny was very professional and helped us deal with many difficult problems along the way, and showed us many wild animals in Serengeti & Ngorongoro. This trip will be an unforgettable memory in my life!

2.Friendly, insightful, welcoming

Our guide Louis was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and animals and seemed to take us to the right place at the right time, every time because of his expertise I felt like this was the trip of a life time for us and highly recommend Easy Travel and Louis to anyone wanting to experience the wonder of Tanzania

3.Fantastic family safari with easy travel and louis our safari guide. I would highly recommend a safari with this company

What an amazing experience doing our safari with Louis our driver who went above and beyond making sure we seen the big five and many more. His esperance and friendly manner made the trip even more special as he passed on much knowledge that he has learnt over his years of guiding . I would like to thank louis and easy travel for making the safari such a special memory for me .one that will be remembered for ever .

4.An Amazing Safari

Louis made the trip very special. I came on the safari not knowing what to expect. The experience of being out in the right place at the right just showed the knowledge and experience that Louis had and was willing to share . We accomplished the big 5 , with Louis using his knowledge and experience again to get us to the last animal on the list a leopard . We saw many prides of Lions and cubs , elephants, mongoose,many birds, flowers hippos and the rhino on our first day. Its been a long time since I had so much excitement amazing . This was a family trip and he made sure we were all happy with what he planned . A well recommended guide and driver . Even the hosts at the camp said how lucky we were to see what we had , and they knew of Louis's experience of finding the animals we did.

The trip of a lifetime!
5/5

Easy Travel does not only make your trip easy, but it makes it memorable. First, their agents communicate really well and are extremely helpful assisting you in creating a custom safari itinerary.

We were extremely excited to start our journey and we were not disappointed. I must say that the success of such a trip depends a lot on the expertise and personality of your guide and driver. Ours, Simon Boimanda was the best we could have hoped for: experienced driver, resourceful, friendly and fun, and, above all, a mine of knowledge.

Simon shared an authentic passion for the Tanzanian wildlife and made it fun asking questions and let us know guess a plausible answer. He masterfully made our trip exciting, authentic, seamless and full of learning.

At night, we stayed in a combination of wilderness Tortillis camps with their friendly and dedicated staff and amazing comfort, and a couple of high-end lodges which allowed to take a short break.

If I was to summarize the highlights of our trip, I would say (in chronological order):
1. Safari trip through the forests of Tanrangire to observe in awe thunders of elephants.
2. Balloon flight over the plains of Serengeti to watch the great migration of wildebeests and zebras
3. Walking safari to the Empakai crater to watch flames of flamingos soaring to the sky
4. Safari in the crater of Ngorongoro to watch a vibrant ecosystem show its best colors
5. A cultural stop at Lake Eyasi to learn about the Datoga metallurgists and hunt with Hatzabe bushmen.

Wow! What a magical experience. Thank you Simon! Thank you Easy Travel! Asante sana Tanzania!

5/5

3.Best Safari photography Tour and best driver
We wanted to do a photography safari tour in Tanzania with local companies because of their knowledge with their parks and the best spots to watch and photograph the wildlife. We chose Easy Travel and Tour Ltd from Trip Advisor. The Tour itself was spectacular and exceed our expectation. But Ombeni our guide was our highlight of the trip. He knew so much not only about animal’s behavior to find them, but also this knowledge about photography. He would find us the best angle to photograph and work with us to get the best shots possible. His patience was appreciated and we had the best experience in shooting the wildlife in the best condition that our guide and driver Ombeni made it possible.
I advise anyone who plan to visit Tanzania, to book a safari with Easy Travel and if you can get Ombeni as your guide, you will live one of the best experience in Tanzania.

Friendly staff and experienced guides from Easy Travel
5/5

Before we travelled we had excellent communications with Voice Gerson, the Sales Specialist in the Arusha Office. It partly was her prompt, thorough responses that persuaded us to go with Easy Travel.

Our friendly driver/guide Emillian was very knowledgeable thanks to his years of experience. Emillian tailored our daily drives to suit our requests.

The highlight of our 8 days was spending several hours quietly watching the wildebeest and zebra of the Great Migration as they trotted north, dusty lines from horizon to horizon. We will never forget it!

Musa & Charles' impeccable team got us up Kilimanjaro safely & kept us laughing & dancing throughout
5/5

Our Kilimanjaro trek was incredible. It is a hard hike and straight up the mountain so beware! Going with Easy Travel made it as smooth as possible though. Both Musa and Charles were great at keeping us going slowly but steadily up the mountain. "Pole, pole" as they say in Tanzania! This was especially important the last night when we were at high altitudes. The team also had so much energy and life which was infectious and really helped us continue even when it got hard. In the final night when we were sumitting, the team was even singing and playing different songs. It was so fun and I don't know how they had the energy to do that even while at 6k meters! We had a little dance party at the top too.

Overall incredible experience! Great team! Food and tent set up was great too! All worked very well

The safari guides were outstanding, and the complex travel arrangements were seamless.
5/5

There are literally thousands of safari tour operators in Tanzania. If you have no inside knowledge of the country and are trying to make reservations from the United States, it can be difficult to know whom to trust to deliver a quality experience in a responsible manner. We booked with Easy Travel based on the recommendation of a friend, a surgeon who frequently travels to Tanzania to train surgeons there through an NGO that he founded. He had traveled with them on multiple occasions and said that they were competent, reliable, and trustworthy.

Easy Travel isn't necessarily the least expensive option, but you get what you pay for. (We saw several tour groups in broken-down vehicles.) We wired the entire amount for a seven-day climb of Kilimanjaro, followed by a nine-day safari. (You have to pay a significant surcharge for credit card transactions.) I typically wouldn't wire tens of thousands of dollars to a travel outfit in Africa, but I was willing to do so after our friend vouched for them. Our payments went through quickly, and we had no accounting issues with Easy Travel.

The safari itself was incredible. We visited Tarangiri, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guides were knowledgeable and diligent. (Nine of us were traveling together, so we booked two tour vehicles.) We saw literally everything, including the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and countless other animals. I highly recommend adding Tarangire to your itinerary, as we saw more there than in Serengeti and Ngorongoro combined. It was an afterthought for us, but it was truly the highlight of our trip. We stayed in

I appreciated the fact that our guides were law-abiding and responsible. We saw a number of tour guides going off-road to get close to animals, mainly so their clients could get better photos. Frankly, we got incredibly close to many animals without ever going off authorized tracks. Going off-road is strictly prohibited, and it does significant damage to the ecosystem and disturbs the wild animals. Tanzania asks you to take photos of cars that do this and report them to officials. Unfortunately, I didn't see these notices until after viewing this illegal behavior, but you will see notices posted on restroom doors at rest stops.

In terms of accommodation, all the places we stayed were gorgeous--beautiful construction, amazing natural settings, very good food. We stayed in the Tarangire Sopa Lodge (incredible use of local materials), Serengeti Serena Lodge (probably my favorite), and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge (amazing view over the crater).

Be aware that Tanzanian prices are scaled for western budgets. What we spent represents unimaginable wealth to locals. I initially struggled with the pricing structure but decided it was worth the money to contribute to preservation of these amazing natural resources.

Safari with Easytravel through Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater was amazing
5/5

We booked a 6 day, 5 night safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The office was very responsive to any changes that we requested. They were able to set up a great itinerary that matched our timeline and every area we were hoping to include. The welcome at the office was very personal. Overall we had great support from the entire office staff.
Enough good things cannot be said about our fabulous guide Emmilian. His 26 years of working at a guide were very easy to see with how he was able to show us so many amazing places during our time. He expertly planned each day so that we saw amazing views of wildlife and scenery while balancing it with comfort. He shared in our excitement of seeing the endless plains for the first time, even though he had been there countless times before. Conversations about his work and past experiences were always very interesting. I would recommend a trip with Easy travel and Emmilian in particular to any family and friends looking for a once in a lifetime experience. We hope to one day do this trip all over again.

The company name Easy Travel describes what they do perfectly.
5/5

We used Easy Travel to plan and take care of us for climbing up Kilimanjaro and going on a safari around Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. They organised all transfers, accommodation and food and everything was seamless.

The level of service provided was much more than expected. Our guides Kester and Paul helped to get us up the mountain, preparing us at every stage, full of useful advice and techniques on how to face some of the challenges ahead. Rasheed ensured we were fed and watered, bringing us “knock knock tea” every morning. The chef was professional
and we were blown away by what could be prepared on the side of a mountain. He even made us a cake on the last night on the way down to say congratulations.

The whole team were amazing and made the trip fun, interesting and safe.

The safari also surpassed our expectations. We booked a 4 day trip which left us desperately hoping to return to see the rest.

Evarest went above and beyond to ensure we came across as much wildlife as possible. He frequently checked in on our options and adapted the trip to suit our needs. He had the latest information about the migration and kept up to date on what Wildlife was where. He also shared lots of Interesting stories of his experiences on safaris and information about wildlife which made the time disappear so quickly we know we need to return.

The accommodation was also fantastic on the safaris.

At all times we felt confident in good hands and well looked after.

I can’t thank Voice and the whole team enough for what an amazing journey we have experienced so far. The next part is Zanzibar for a relax which I am sure will also work out excellent.

We hope to return to Tanzania and explore more of the Serengeti and when we do we will definitely book with easy travel. I will recommend Easy Travel to my friends and family as they really did make everything easy.
