HANDS DOWN, HE WAS AND IS THE BEST IVE EVER BEEN WITH!
5/5

It is with great pleasure I write this review for Ernest. Words can't express the feelings that my family and I were overcome by this experience. It was religious, and to share this lifelong dream of showing my family where my ancestors came from filled my heart and soul. From day one of the safari, Ernest (whom I affectionately call eagle eyes) ensured that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We visited 3 national parks, each one more spectacular than the other. Ernest is the most thoughtful, caring tour guide I have ever dealt with. He made sure while traveling that we had cold drinks and snacks. He also isn't like the big companies, when we stopped for lunch each day, we had a warm delicious meal provided to us. We would look around at others that were on tours, they were eating box lunches. His company is definitely geared towards family. As we traveled, we saw every animal that your mind could imagine and why you came on a safari in the first place except the elusive black rhino. Each day my 4-year-old kept saying that she wanted to see a rhino, and Ernest turned to her and said I promise to do everything I can to so you can see one. Eagle eyes was true to his word. On the last day, with less than one hour left at Ngorongoro crater national park Ernest was driving everywhere to find a rhino for my daughter. Then all of a sudden, he put on the brakes and put the car in reverse and said to my daughter there is your rhino! To see my daughter light up like the sky made the whole trip worth it. Please visit Tanzania, and when you do give Ernest Magic Tours and Safaris your business. I have given all my friends and family his information, and they will use him. I have also given all his information to my family for their visit. Ernest my brother, we are coming back! Thank you for everything, my family loves and missed you, brother!

The Best guide in Africa hands down! He’s not just a guide, he’s your friend, family, and confidant
5/5

I can’t scream loud enough about how our whole trip to Africa was beyond memorable because of Ernest! I’ve never felt safer in the presence of a stranger. His whole demeanor and presence is just felt like family. Going to a different country for the first time and trusting our guide to keep us safe on our tour was paramount. Ernest went above and beyond our personal expectations. He was super accommodating, catered to our individual needs, ensured we felt safe, explained everything with great detail, had great banter and personal connections with us, and truly made sure we were safe and he followed every precaution to get us a great experience with wildlife. We never felt rushed, everything was on our timeline, and it felt like we were just enjoying these extraordinary moments with another member of our party. He really knew every detail, and we learned so much for him. We did extensive research on comparing tours, reviews, and prices so I know we got a great deal hands down with everything that was included in our package. We were so sad when our tour was over and just felt a sense of pure love with Ernest that we requested to remain friends with him. Now, what experience have you had with a complete stranger that made you want to have a lifelong international friendship with? Ernest Magic tours is not just a guided tour with a boring person spitting out facts you’ll never remember and passing the time, it’s an experience with a truly genuine soul that will elevate your experience!
