Customized Family Safari Trip
Wow, a trip of a lifetime for my family and me. From the planning process through the end, E Trip was great. First of, Aurelie and Ben were great in answering my questions in the planning phase and helping me design the right trip based on odd flight times as well as what I specifically wanted to see. Well planned itinerary gave us a day on each end to acclimatize and decompress in Arusha with fabulous activities. Our guide / driver Aladdin was fabulous and clearly used to having kids around. He made my two girls feel special by giving them incentives to make it to the front seat of the car while on a game drive. They even made my wife feel special on her birthday with a surprise cake and the staff of one of the hotels singing to her. Ben even met us on day 1 to just give us an overview. He didn't have to do that but it felt very personal as a result. Great trip and very well planned all the way around.

Professional Service at an Amazing Price!
When I first decided that I wanted to book a gorilla trekking tour in Uganda, I emailed several tour operators to get a sense of itinerary and price. eTrip Africa was quick to reply and after sorting through several competitors, it became clear that eTrip Africa had the best price for what I was looking for in my trip. After I decided to go with eTrip, I asked approximately 567,890 questions to a very patient Ben Jennings. He answered all quickly and clearly, allowing me to make my travel arrangements accordingly. Half way through the emails, I had to make a change in my itinerary and Ben complied without hesitation, acting swiftly to ensure that permits were still available for my new dates. Aurelie Sivadier was also a great help in the process. After confirmation and payment, my itinerary was sent to me. Everything was clearly laid out and it was great to see the breakdown of costs provided by eTrip to know exactly how the costs were calculated. Having come back from my trip just recently, I am happy to report that everything went well, without a hitch! The accommodations recommended were great and the whole experience was absolutely amazing. I will surely refer friends to eTrip and should the opportunity arise to gorilla trek again, I will certainly use this company again. Thanks for everything!

African Excellence
E-Trip Africa was exceptional with communication during the entire planning phase, travel preparation, during the trip itself, and even after we returned. We had a very minor issue that prevented us from enjoying one of the activities on our itinerary, and E-Trip Africa worked to help us get a refund. All of the transportation scheduled (transfer flights, airport transfers, and drivers from hotels to our desired destinations) was efficient, quick, clean, and the drivers or pilots themselves were wonderful. Best of all, the entire experience was seamless and stress-free. As for the safari in Tanzania, it was magical. The accommodations were superb and the staff was even better, and our game drives and driver were incredible. In Rwanda, I probably would not stay at the lodge in which we stayed again--although the service and staff were fantastic, the rooms themselves were..rustic...But, the gorilla trek truly was an experience of a lifetime. We are so thankful for E-Trip and will definitely use them again for our African travels.

Glamping at its best, not just the big five felt like fifty five.
The E-Trip team were very professional and provided a very interesting itinerary and responded immediately to any of our questions or concerns. The accomodation and especially our vehicle (home on wheels for the trip) were all fantastic and of a high standard.
Thank you once again to Ben, Aurelie and Paul for organising such a great as they say “Glamping” trip and especially David our guide who looked after my family extremely well, he is a wonderful knowledgable guide who took his time and showed us many things that we saw others (companies/guides) just pass by. So we not only ticked off the big 5, but ticket off about 55 too many exciting things to mention.
Well done to your company E-Trip Africa.

Fantastic agency for a trip in Africa
Aurélie and Ben of E-Trip Africa are a stand-out. They were planning our Rwanda & Tanzania trip so conscientiously as well answering patiently our numerous questions in so much detail throughout the whole time! They really did a great job and everything just turned out perfectly fine! We have not one thing to complain about - it was just perfect!
What made the trip even more special to us was our guide Eliamini who did an outstanding job with his knowledge about animals (His spotting is also absolutely amazing) and his efforts to show us as much as possible from this great country!
If we are visiting Africa again, which is quite likely, we are definately returning to E-Trip Africa to plan the trip!

Incredible Trip
We had an unbelievable trip with E-Trip Africa. Our guide Elisha had an incredible ability to find animals that the rest of us would not have seen and then had an encyclopedia like knowledge of all the traits and habits of the various animals. He was amazing. In addition, we stayed at great locations with accommodations that far surpassed my expectations in terms of food, service and comfort.

They deliver all what they promise
High quality at all levels, from booking experience to what you get when the safari takes place. They are proactive in suggestion when preparing the trip, very professional driver (John Kariuki), good driver and good guide. The level of hotels and camps was as expected, no surprise (good).
I'd strongly recommend this agency for a private safari in Kenia.

Perfect honeymoon!
My wife and I planned our honeymoon to Northern Tanzania and Zanzibar with E-Trip. We had a wonderful time. Aurélie and Ben are super communicative and unafraid to make suggestions. E-Trip is also very transparent with the pricing and potential drawbacks of different options. Our driver, David, was very charming and knowledgable and the safari vehicle was brand new. Overall the trip exceeded our already high expectations.

My niece and I did the 4 day trek up Mount Meru and had a wonderful experience with E trip Africa
The team at etrip Africa are very experienced. On our arrival in Arusha they came a did a briefing prior to the tip where they examined and provided advise on our gear. During the whole experience they monitored any health requirements, provided good quality meals including early morning coffee in our room and were on hand to provide support and encouragement as required.
We reached the summit in time for the sunrise over Kilimanjaro. It was a memorable experience and on our way down the mountain pointed out animals and plant life. The whole team work well together and were good company making the experience fun and enjoyable. I would recommend. E trip Africa to anyone planning a trip to Mount Meru.
