Excellent for Kilimanjaro hike
Friends of ours had recommended Easy Travels, a local company in Tanzania for our mount killimanjaro trek. It was the best decision we made. The package for our group of 5 people was reasonably priced, and we got more than our money's worth. They gave us a support crew of 21 which included 3 excellent guides, cooks, porters etc all of whom were very helpful and caring. Roland, the head guide, Hemebi and Erick, the two assistant guides were our biggest support. Cannot praise them enough, they are not only experienced, they were also extremely caring and sensitive to our needs, they were always there besides you when they sensed you were struggling with something. Also have to mention Maina, one of the porters who was always with us and ever ready to help when needed. The tents and sleeping bags were of high quality as was the tent we dined in.
All 21 of them went out of their way to make sure we would make it to the top.
Voice Gerson our contact person and coordinator is also par excellence. She is quick with her responses, was always available and very patient with all our questions and concerns.
Future trekkers we would highly recommend Easy Travels

A real easy traveling experience with Easy travels
We had booked with Easy travels for our Kilimanjaro trek and a safari tour after the trek after great recommendations from our friends who had experienced the services provided by Easy Travels.
We were surely not disappointed with the entire schedule set by the company for both the experiences.
Our Kilimanjaro trek was executed with such warmth and patience with the mountain guides and porters that assisted us on the trek which was for 8 days.
Kudos to Roland,Erick and Hemed who were our amazing guides that made each day so motivating and eventful until our Summit ascent and descent. The porters provided for our trek were so full of enthusiasm and gusto,helping us whenever we needed that extra push to move forward.
The Safari tour organized after the trek was so rewarding in terms of lodging,meals and the knowledgeable guide Freddy who made it such a thrilling experience for us all.
I will definitely recommend Easy travels to family and friends. Very professional and especially Voice Gerson who was always there to answer any queries we had regarding both the trips and eased our minds.

Safari tours with vast experience
I had awesome time in northern Tanzania. Voice from Easy Travel & Tours planned my safari to perfection. I got a true expert guide Emmilian. He had vast experience and we spotted loads of animals in lake natron, manyara, ngorongoro and tarangire. Emmilian loves the nature and this is showing when he tells you about the animals and national parks. Food was also amazing during the safari! If you want quality you are safe to choose this travel company.

A Wonderful Safari
We have just returned from a wonderful adventure thanks to Denis our guide/driver and Norah, our agent at Easy Travel. We were a group of six friends traveling together. The tour and lodging was chosen by us with Norah’s guidance. Denis made this an excellent trip from the moment he met us at the airport. His big smile and genuine personality made us feel at ease the moment we met. All through our trip, Denis was there to make sure we had an excellent adventure. He always asked for our input on what we wanted to see and he made it happen. We always felt safe while we were with Denis. We traveled from the airport to our hotel in Arusha on day one. He was happy to share his knowledge with us as we passed different points of interest. Our first stop on the safari was Lake Manyara. Denis did an excellent job searching for animals and getting the best spot to take pictures. We had a nice relaxing lunch in the park. We spent the night in the beautiful Serena Lake Manyara Lodge. Our next day we set out for the Serengeti. It was a long, bumpy ride, but Denis continued to share his knowledge of the area with us. We spent two nights in the Serengeti at the Tortilis Camp. During the day we did the game drives and found so many different animals. Ultimately, we found the big five and many more. After the Serengeti, we headed to the NgorongoroCrater. WOW – what a beautiful setting. We stayed the Serena Ngorongoro Lodge. An absolutely beautiful lodge and the kindest staff. Our room overlooked the crater and a perfect night to watch the full moon rise over the crater. Another successful game drive in the morning and then onto Tarangire National Park. It is a beautiful park where we saw lots of different animals and landscape. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge in Tarangire Park. The lodge is beautiful, rooms were very comfortable and service was excellent. Everyone on this trip was so kind and helpful. Thank you to Denis, Norah and staff for helping to plan and execute such a wonderful trip.

Easy Travel’s Safari and tour guide, Emil, was exceptional getting us to the best viewing spots!
The Easy Travel and Tours Safari booking was a great experience for my family. Emil, our safari guide did an exceptional job making sure we had the best possible chance at seeing wildlife close up. He was open to our request on trying to spot different animals, took less traveled routes with less tourists and got us to lunch and break spots with good timing. We felt very well cared for during the miles we were in the truck. He worked in the evenings to make sure the truck was clean and comfortable for the next day and met us for meals and engaging conversation. The truck was stocked with liquid refreshment, Internet and 3 sets of quality binoculars. He shared his knowledge as a native Tanzanian on the wildlife and plant life of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We were very pleased to have had this Safari tour with Easy Travel and Emil and would recommend booking with them. Comparatively, the pricing was a great value for the quality of experience we received.

Unforgettable experience
We did the migration safari tour. It was just amazing! Our guide Mohamedi Rashidi was very knowledgeable and experienced. He took us to the best possible spots during the safari and we could see the rarest of the rare - crocodile hunting the wildebeest, lions hunting the gazelles, amazing view of cheetahs, and rare black rhinos.

An unforgettable experience and a real “customer feeling”. You can choose Easytravel with your eyes
5 months ago I contacted several agencies to organize a family safari. I was in contact with Helenn who quickly offered me several solutions and always answered my questions within a short time. My 2 sons wanted to climb Kilimanjaro via the Machame route before the safari. I also chose Easytravel for this climb. I absolutely do not regret my choice. Helenn made the organization of this trip easier (it's a real plus than having an agency on site). One of my sons' luggage remained in Amsterdam and therefore could not be delivered to Zanzibar when it landed on Sunday evening (and the ascent began on Tuesday morning). From Sunday evening Helenn reassured me by telling me that we would find a solution. On Monday morning, she offered to prepare lists with her from France so that my son could buy underwear and then rent equipment when he arrived in Arusha on Monday at 3:30 p.m. His guide came to pick him up at the airport and accompanied him to make his choice of equipment. My son was able to leave on Tuesday morning and was able to achieve his goal: to arrive at Uhuru peak with his brother.
As for the safari, there were 4 of us. We were accompanied by Maila Kanani, our French-speaking guide. It was really great: Maila speaks French well and gave us a lot of explanations about the animals and about Tanzania in general. He is a friendly, smiling guide, always listening to us. We learned a lot about the fauna and flora (I am now knowledgeable about cheetahs and leopards). He drove safely and every evening he went to clean the 4x4. We really enjoyed his company. I highly recommend Maila.
Our safari will remain unforgettable.
Special thanks to Helenn and Maila for the success of this wonderful trip!

Breathtaking exposure to animals in the wild, the landscape & the Crater & extremely educational!
When we were exploring taking a Safari, we considered a number of organizations to travel with. We were won over by Easy Travel (ET) because of their timeliness in responding and willingness to spend time with us to understand what we would experience, answering questions and helping us understand what needed to be done regarding visas, vaccinations and flights. The overall trip was fabulous. ET picked us up at the airport, provided a comfortable/reliable vehicle, and a very experienced tour guide/driver who was committed to ensuring we had a fabulous experience. The lodges we stayed at had welcoming staff, comfortable space to stay and sleep in and the food for all three meals was nutritious and extremely tasty. As for the Safari, it exceeded our wildest dreams. We saw an endless assortment of animals, were able to in many instances be in close proximity of those animals and had a wonderful guide that endlessly took the time to answer all of our questions and to spend long hours with us in the Parks in constant search of the next great experience. I will also mention that the travel between the various parks is long and on dirt covered roads that are not well maintained and without much space for the 2 way traffic. Our guide was masterful in finding a careful balance in finding the right speed of travel balanced with the safety of the people in the jeep. I can easily say, that I am not sure that many of the other drivers exhibited that same level of expertise. The final comment would be to highlight the magnificance and beauty of the Crater. It shows why its one of the 7 wonders of the world. Our two minor points of opportunities for improvement would be as follows: 1) the lounges did not have much band width and as such access to the WIFI in the evenings was extremely slow; 2) one of our nights was extremely hot (low to mid 30's). The room did not have a/c and as such was extremely hot to sleep in (we had a fan that made it a bit more comfortable but still quite hot).
