Tanzania Northern Circle Safari
Just completed a wonderful weeklong trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Safari with e-Trip Africa. Great experience, every detail was handled and prepared properly. Ben Jennings is great, our guide/driver David knew where to go, what to look for and get us to and from the camp safely no matter the weather.
We saw all we wanted to see. Will definitely do it again with them.

Great Experience for Rwanda Trip
I am so happy I used E-Trip Africa for my trip to Rwanda they were fantastic. They were very responsible and helpful before the trip communicating via email (my contact was Ben) as well as during my trip (my driver was Edmond). They organized Kigali pickup/drop-off, genocide museum, and trip to the mountains which included hotel, gorilla, and monkey trek. It was all amazing, thanks to them!

Awesome, memorable and I highly recommend ETrip - they are trustworthy and do as they advertised!
I am extremely grateful to Etrip, especially to Ben who perfected the itinerary and planning of this wonderful safari at a very reasonable price. Ben was so kind as to suggest stopping over at his office (when we decided not to stay in the IKA Lodge) to have a shower, rest up, and have dinner prepared by his B&B landlord.
To our gifted guide/driver David who was well versed in a lot of subjects. Thank you for the wonderful and unforgettable experience. Witnessing the river migration 2x at the Masai Mara was really amazing.
The land cruise was in perfect condition; enable to charge your electronics ; a free Wifi access; a library with Safari guide books and binoculars!

Our first safari and everything was great!
E-Trip Africa was recommended to me by a close friend who had been to Tanzania many times. I was pleasantly surprised that Ben was able to organize an excellent itinerary that fit our short eight day window of time. We took a three day safari and then a few days at the beach at a place called Lazy Lagoon. Ben handled everything very professionally and visited us several times during our time in Tanzania to make sure things were going as planned. Our guide/driver (David) was fantastic. He had tremendous driving skills and the strength to navigate the rough roads. This was combined with fantastic wildlife knowledge.

Serengeti Safari Exceeds Expectations
We arrived on August 27, left on Sept. 6. The whole time everything worked to perfection. Our guide, David of E-trip Africa, was professional, fun and very efficient. He was lots of fun and extremely knowledgable about animals, their habits and where to find them. I don't think we missed any. The communications were timely and very helpful, especially the packing list. The flashlights were especially needed. We enjoyed all our stays and the food and personnel we encountered. We saw so many dramatic moments in the life cycles of the animals that I know I will never forget it. The Toyota Land Cruiser was magnificent how it handled the challenging roads with no problems and The binocs he had were great. This truly was the trip of a lifetime.

Unforgatable, instructive and very well organized
It was more exiting than my expectations. Our guide was very friendly and learned us a lot of things about wild life and masai or Irakwu tribes. Transfers well organized. Our itinerary also permitted us to discovers many of differents landscapes and animals. Good communication, nice accommodations. It's a company I recommend, they assist you during your trip and they give you few options accordingly to your expectations. It was an amazing trip. thank you to the team.

Great experience all round
We have recently returned from a 2 week trip through Kenya and Tanzania organised through Etrip. We had an amazing time, and would highly recommend this company. Our trip was arranged at reasonably short notice for this kind of trip (2 months prior to leaving) and Aurelie and Ben were very flexible in sorting out an itinerary that ticked all the boxes for us. They were professional and transparent through the whole process, providing an exact breakdown of all our costs and also patient when we had issues transferring payment. We had a bit of a hiccup when the Tanzanian government changed its VAT exemption rules which meant even though we had paid for our trip in full, we we liable to further costs - a difficult situation for the tour operators that was again dealt with professionally and transparently, meaning we incurred slightly higher fees but also that the rest were absorbed in good faith by Etrip.
We had 2 guides (one in each country) that were both knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a great time learning about their countries with them. Ben also made an effort to meet up with us in Arusha towards the end of our trip to make sure everything had gone well.
Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Awesome Africa experience with Etrip
From start to finish etrip was great. We were able to give our budget, the things we wanted to see, and the timeframe, and they were able to sort out a great itinerary for us. Drivers were knowledgeable friendly and funny, the vehicles were great, lots of room, the accommodation was exactly what we wanted, and we saw every animal! I've already recommended them to my parents who are going over next year.

Can't ask for better
From the very start Etrip Africa Stood out. I wanted the perfect Kili+Safari+Zanzibar combo so I spent a long time speaking to various tour operators, small local and the big famed ones. It was clear who I was going to go with . Etrip offered the most competitive rate for the same itenary, I also picked up on small things like how the others would try to take shortcuts to save them money, like proposing a long drive rather than a short flight, and not even giving me the option, Etrip was very different in that I was offered a better price for exactly what I wanted. What made them different is how attentive they were, Ben from Etrip never tired of answering my many questions. He was super quick in answering emails and sent me long detailed answers. I felt like he made the most effort to try to get to know exactly what I wanted, and tailored a trip that felt truly like it had been planned by someone that knows me so well.
I was expecting a few glitches on ground but my entire trip went exactly according to plan!!! All the accommodations were as I expected, my guides were wonderful. I cannot pick on anything, it went swimmingly!
Thank you Etrip Africa, sincerely!!!

With our limited time, this was a very well planned, very well guided few days
We were tight on time and had to squeeze this trip in with a visit with our daughter. ETrip was flexible and responsive. They planned and executed a great 4 days for us. The camp and lodge were perfect for our needs, budget and desired atmosphere. Our tour guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and patient. What a great driver! We loved the accommodations, the vistas, the sightings of every animal we could have dreamed of seeing. We had a great time and learned a lot.
