The experience of a lifetime
Setting plans with eastern sun tours was as easy as a,b,c. when planning a tour of this sort one starts to build up heaps of concerns ,i was one of them .I started to browse the web to find tour operators that meet our needs and also affordable .Send tons of inquires to various operators ,all showing same itinerary but prices varies a lot .Eastern sun was our choice .Started to communicate via e mails ,i was a real pain in the butt but Mercy was always patient and helpful,no communication barriers or whatsoever .No problems when it comes to bank swifts ,Africa is a non-sepa country and so you cannot make ibans ,for me it was a great concern sending a lump sum to this alien account ,but believe me i would have never had this negative thought if i knew Mercy et al before .....they are wonderful people . The safari journey was mind-blowing ,the driver/guide did a great job, he showed us all of it ,always on time and helpful.Lodges and camps that eastern sun recommended were tops .Great scenery ,.good food and excellent service .During our 7 day safari we had only one issue with one resort for small portions of food ,they served us a double portion after complaining .Having said that Eastern sun tours showed us Tanzania with a very affordable price and made a group of 4 adventurers from Malta very very happy .

An amazing experience
I feel so lucky have our seven day safari tour organised by Easternsun Tour and Safaris. Our itinerary was very well planned by Mercy who has immense experience organising safaris. She also went out of the way to help finding our delayed luggage after arriving in Kilimanjaro. Our tour covered tarangere, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and lake manyara. Our guide was Hassan and he was very intelligent and knowledgeable. We saw many lions , elephants , giraffes , Zebras , a few Leopards and just one Rhino ( thanks to poachers) Wildebeest migration was an extraordinary experience. I have no hesitation in recommending Eastern Sun safaris to anyone who wishes to tour Tanzania for a safari tour.

Fabulous Safari Experience
My family had a fantastic safari experience, visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Game viewing was outstanding in both locations. Managed to see all the big five and large herds of animals, with some very close encounters with the lions, leopard and cheetah.
Stayed in Mount Meru hotel, Mbuzi Mawe luxury tent lodge and Sopo Lodge - All very good accommodations.
Merci did a great job of organizing the trip, was quick to respond to my queries, tailored the itinerary to my liking and budget, made good recommendations.
Our Guide Bonyface, was a thorough professional, very articulate and knowledgeable, with a good sense of humor and above all a careful driver.

Amazing. Unforgettable. Can't wait to do it again.
We went on a 5 day safari with eastern sun last month and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, I can't speak highly enough of this company and their employees. Mercy made the booking process so easy for me and was always quick to reply to emails. She gave me different options for our safari and allowed me to pick the one that best suited our budget. Their rates were also very reasonable compared to other operators I contacted. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, Mercy was in contact with us and gave us a thorough briefing of our safari. Our guide Eddie was AMAZING and incredibly knowledgeable of the parks and their animals. He was very patient with all of our questions (and we asked him a lot!). Eastern sun made the journey so easy and pleasant for us and of course the safari itself was unbelievable. I highly recommend eastern sun to anyone that may be interested in experiencing the greatness of Tanzania's parks. Asante Sana Mercy and Eddie!
