Great owners and amazing tour guides! Awesome info to help you go where interests you most.
The safari with E-trip Africa was amazing! The owners (Ben and aurielle) take time to meet with tou before and or after to assure you that all is well. The facilities they book you at are amazing and have awesome staff and chefs! The food was all very well prepared at these places and amazingly tasty! The guides know exactly where to take you to see the most wildlife and they also be sure to take good care of you while you're in a new country. They're very informative. I would recommend this company to anyone!

Had fantastic experience with knowledgeable driver who knew where to take us to see best sites!
We appreciated that both our driver and Ben met us at the airport, and that Ben met with us afterwards to review any questions/concerns. The trip exceeded my expectations ! I can't believe how many animals and beautiful sites we saw. Our driver gave us info not only on the animals, but the plant life and birds, and the peoples of Africa. If I do another safari in the future, I will book it with E-Trip

The trip of a lifetime!
John, our safari driver, guide, extraordinaire, was wonderful! Masaai Mara was a very unique camp spot, food was good, service excellent, surroundings amazing, accommodations very nice, and experience one we will never forget. If I could attach a photo, I would do so, as we would recommend E-Trip Africa to everyone.

Amazing experience!
The Safari with E-Trip Africa was an incredible lifetime experience! The owners Ben and Aurelie communicated clearly and then lived up to their promises and our expectations. They were well in touch with our needs as tourists and the Tanzanian services which they coordinated. We chose the mid-range level, and were not disappointed. Accommodations as described: simple, clean and safe and meeting our needs. Food served in the camps was very good, and my dietary restrictions were well respected. Our driver David was beyond all expectations. He has 16 years experience as a guide and exudes enthusiasm and stories about the animals and the habitat, and was very attentive to our needs, even helping with our Internet and camera issues. He has a wonderful knowledge of nature and a keen eye for spotting animals. I could not recommend E-Trip, Ben, and David more highly.

Phenomenal - What made it phenomenal is the care of the tour driver - Alladin. We will never forget
Communications were very good; the staff at Zawadi were so caring and took care of all our needs, from the smallest request to the bigger ones. They made us feel at home like we were part of their families. It is very rare that I have experienced this kind of genuine care. It was honest, simple and very sincere. Alladin, the tour guide was fantastic, his knowledge level, dedication, and sincerity were exceptional. The person who is the pinnacle of humanity was the tour guide - Davis. Davis was our tour guide on our climb to Mount Kilimanjaro. I can write pages and page of how caring a human being he was. Davis, where you are - my family and will never forget you as long as we live. Ben, you have an excellent team. Keep up the great work of transparency, humility and care that was extended to us throughout our safari.

Photography trip to Tanzania and Rwanda
E-Trip was the first and only travel company who replied to my enquiry about a trip to Tanzania and Rwanda, specifically dedicated for photography. Looking back, the other travel providers were all/mostly carrying tourists in their Land Rovers and Land Cruisers using their smart phones to take shots of the wildlife! I guess this does say something about E-Trip and their dedication to travellers who are interested in wildlife and nature photography.
About this topic: thanks to E-Trip I managed to capture some great shots which I added to my blog. A couple of articles and images can be found here:

Ben Jennings has been extremely helpful and friendly. He is very dedicated to his customers and will go the extra mile to make sure everything will go according expectations. A note to professional photographers: plan your trip carefully in relation to the African seasons; you may end up in a region that is either too dry or wet, so you may need to be prepared to make any changes to your itinerary.
On my next safari trip I'll make sure to join E-Trip again. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience
We went for the first time to Africa for safari. This was unforgettable experience. Everything was organized perfectly. Our only problem was if the thousands of pictures and videos that we took were in focus.
Our guide, Alladin was amazing. He not only showed us all the animals, but he fulfilled any of our requests like to take us to local market or Masai village etc. He patiently answered thousands of our questions and he made our trip so much better.
I would highly recommend E-Trip Africa.

Best Customer service I've ever experienced!
Ben was terrific! It was easy to book and every detail was handled perfectly. We went on safari in Tanzania and then to Zanzibar for beach and relaxation. In between, I left my pillow at a hotel and Ben went and picked it up from the hotel and met us at the airport so I would have it for flights home. Who would go out of their way like that? Our safari guide was the best part of our trip. He was excited, and interesting. The "tent" on safari made me feel like I was Meryl Streep in out of Africa because it was so luxurious. If you are planning a trip to Africa and want a personalized, well organized trip look no further! Going with our children ages 14yrs and 17yrs, safety was important too and I felt like eTrip Africa took care of us!
Helped out with all details and met us at airport
Safari was "out of this world" everything was top notch better than expected, our guide "John" was extremely informative and had a good sense of humor
