Tanzanian Safari
We had a very enjoyable four day, three night safari out of Arusha. The company arranged very nice accommodations for each night, and included a trip to Oldupai Gorge, when the Leakeys had done extensive archaeological excavations to try to determine the ancestry of modern Homo Sapiens. Our guides were first rate: personable, professional, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to any small requests any of our group made. With fifteen travellers and three cars, the safari was well managed by our guides. Special thanks to Elyishia (sp?), one of our guides, for his efforts in ensuring the safari was a success.

Indescribable! Life changing experience.
My wife and I were very impressed by every aspect of the arrangements and execution by E-Trip. There wasn't a moment we would have changed.
Service was very well delivered and appreciated, from our guide David to the camp and lodge staff and the pilots flying us.
The only suggestions we could make, and I'm sure this is different for only a few people, but we really would have liked to spent more time with our guide David outside of the safari truck. Spending time at dinner or at our camp would have been nice. He was a wonderful person and an exceptional guide.

highly professional, well organised and incredibly fun - we loved it!
From the moment we arrived we knew our experience was going to be great. We were well received and it was great to meet with Ben beforehand - he even met with us at the end of our trip.
Every place we stayed at was of good quality, all had wonderful staff and amazing food. Our guide looked after us so well too.
Everything was so well organised from the time of booking to being dropped at the airport - we cannot fault them at all.
Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience the best national parks of Tanzania.

We became like family.
Our E-Trip Africa Safari more than lived up to expectations. Our sleeping quarters were excellent, our drivers were friendly, knowlegable and accommodating, we were fed well and generously, and we saw all the animals we dreamed of!

Hidden gem of a company!
Honestly, my husband and I were skeptical about letting someone else plan our honeymoon...let alone a company with a handful of reviews found online. BUT...E-Trip Africa ended up being such a wonderful decision. Ben helped with all of the planning, and Nick our guide/driver was excellent. We were taken care of from the beginning with all of my questions about what to pack, how much money to bring, etc. Ben was patient and made sure to follow up with me and worked with our budget to be able to get us the honeymoon we had imagined. I would recommend them with no hesitations!

Wonderful experience
Everything about our safari was incredible- the parks, the accommodations, and best of all, the driver-guides!

Trip of a lifetime!
From the moment that we inquired about the safari, from the moment we were dropped off at the airport had far exceeded our expectations. Since we had never been to Africa and this was our first safari, we didn't know what to expect so we had TONS of questions. Ben, the General Manager, answered all our questions from "Are their mosquitoes?" to "What kind and how often are we going to see animals?" Once he had all of our questions asked, it was time to book the trip. We booked our flight and trip 7 months in advance. As soon as we booked our flight, the airline decided to cancel/switch our flight several times. Ben was nothing but patient and kind when we were trying to figure out our arrival/departure dates. The safari was advertised as 8 days, but because our flight had to be changed so many times, our trip ended up being10 days. Ben had no problem tailoring a safari based on our needs.
The best part of the safari was our driver Alladin. He had 8 years experience and it definitely showed. He was very knowledgeable about the country, the wildlife, the landscapes, he could always spot the animals when it looked like nothing was there, and he always knew the best spots to view wildlife. If it wasn't for Alladin, our trip wouldn't have been the same.
I highly recommend booking a safari through ETrip Africa. This was a trip of a lifetime. We are definitively going to do this again!

The best guide made the best safari possible.
Our trip to Tanzania exceeded our hopes for animal viewing and a guide who understands and respects our needs. Our guide, David, was unbelievably able to spot and identify every type of animal. His personal connection with nature and his vast knowledge enhanced every aspect of our trip. The accommodations were perfect. The itinerary and daily schedule met our needs exactly. This was the trip of a lifetime. I would do it again in a second.

Fantastic Experience
My wife and I contacted four different agencies to discuss our dream of an African Safari and E-Trip Africa was by far the most responsive and accommodating. We expressed our interests and Ben from E-Trip Africa tailored an itinerary that fit perfectly. We are active people and his suggestions allowing us to explore by both foot and car allowed us work off excess energy (didn't take long at those elevations!). Pre-trip communication was fantastic making us well-prepared for our journey.
Key to success was having an excellent guide and a comfortable vehicle. E-Trip Africa came through in both regards. Our guide Silas was personable and well-versed on both animals and plants in Kenya. He studies the wildlife and is able to identify species (birds and beasts) from a distance while providing a synopsis of their characteristics. He is trustworthy and fun. He maintains a healthy network with other guides which helps him find things that other guides don't. Indeed, other guests at each of our camps were envious of the sights we enjoyed. Finally, his vehicle is the best we saw for handling the rugged terrain while providing a shady and cool enclave to observe the wildlife.
This was an excellent experience and we appreciate all that E-Trip Africa did to make it that way. We highly recommend them!

Remarkable in so many ways!
My planned this trip and worked with E-trip to work out all of the details so I am not familiar with the back and forth scheduling of the trip but what I can say is that it was the smoothest trip I have ever been on. Our trip was for almost 3 weeks, 2 different countries and we didn't have one detail or part of the itinerary that went awry. We had a delayed arrival and got in in the middle of the night, walked out to a sea of people in hopes of finding the person that was scheduled to pick us up. Gideon walked right up to us and welcomed us to Nairobi. The same experience occurred in Rwanda when Edmond picked us up. Everyone was welcoming, very prompt and made sure that we got to where we needed to go at the time we needed to be there. I can't say enough about the whole experience. The people, the land, the lodges, the flights, the transports & especially the Guides, all fantastic and fantastic just doesn't do it justice.
