This tour changed my life!
This was my first time in Africa and although I have traveled to many countries I have no idea how beautiful and amazing my tour in Tanzania was going to be. I'm so glad I booked with Kilele Savane. The tour was very organized and professional. The price was extremely reasonable for everything that I got to see and do.
The tour started with a 6 day hike up Kilimanjaro. Our guides were terrific, the food that was prepared for us was delicious and healthy. It was magnificent to reach the roof of Africa!
After a day of rest we spent 3 days on safari and saw every possible animal sighting that you could see in this part of Africa, including 3 lions killing a couple of buffalo right before our eyes. It felt like we were on national geographic!
The owner of the company Frank, allowed us to customize the trip as much as we wanted. He was great to work with and so was everyone else who worked for him. I highly recommend using this tour company in Tanzania, don't even bother looking anywhere else!

The perfect safari experience thanks to Easy Travel!!
I'm not normally one to write reviews but the level of service Easy Travel provided on our recent trip is something that needs to praised.
We had been planning our safari holiday for a number of years and eventually decided to go for it. We started by getting quotes from UK operators but were being provided quotes way out of our price range so we decided to try some local operators. With a little bit of help from previous Trip Advisor reviews we sent off for quotes from a couple of highly rated operators. The prices from local operators in Tanzania blew the UK quotes out of the water. We decided to go with Easy Travel and it was the best decision we ever made.
From the initial point of contact Caudence helped us build up our custom built itinerary in a friendly but professional manor. We exchanged numerous emails where Caudence would provide various quotes on the many different lodges and camps in the various different parks of Tanzania. Nothing was ever too much and every e-mail was dealt with quickly. Finally we settled on an 8 day itinerary including Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire completely custom built to include the lodges/camps we wanted.
Online payment by credit card was simple and we always received invoices and payment confirmations.
We can't praise Caudence enough for help organising our trip, from the initial contact right to the end of the trip everything ran so smoothly.
However, let's face it, it's the actual trip that really counts.
But yet again Easy Travel delivered a trip that was way beyond our wildest dreams and surpassed all our expectations!!
As promised we were collected from the airport and taken to our first night accommodation to get some much needed rest from the long flight and the following morning we were met by our guide for the week to set off on our safari.
Richard, our guide, was amazing. He made the trip the incredible experience it was. He was extremely knowledgeable (not quite sure how he remember the names of all those birds) but most of all his friendly approach made us feel completely at ease and able to ask any question about the animals, birds and Tanzanian life!! We learnt so much from Richard.
As we had booked the private safari, we had the luxury of being able to dictate how long we stayed and watched certain animals without ever feeling rushed.
Richard seemed to have a knack of finding the things we wanted to see and within only 4 days we'd ticked off the Big 5 (even finding a mother and baby Rhino in the trees in Northern Serengeti). By the end of the week we'd experienced so many amazing things but the highlights had to be the thousands of wildebeest crossing the River Mara and the fascinating sight of watching a pride of lions feasting on a Eland close to our camp. One thing Richard taught us is patience is the key, so while other jeeps moved on, we waited and were left alone to see the 2 lions initially eating to be joined by 7 others from the pride. Lesson learnt!!
Every day we saw new amazing things and having an incredible guide is the key.
The only bad thing I have to say about the experience is that it had to end!! The whole experience from start to finish was something we will never ever forget and we have to thank Richard, Caudence and the Easy Travel team for that.
I've read many other Easy Travel reviews with similar glowing review of the guides and staff and that can't be a co-incidence so if you're looking to book a safari in Tanzania there is only one option as far as we are concerned.
We will be back. Thanks again!!

Fantastic Safari
We dealt with Jessica when arranging our safari and she always replied very quickly, with great advice and fantastic English. Our safari guide was Habisi and chef Charles, both who gave us an amazing experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us to see all the animals we wanted. Charles made some great meals, we certainly always had more than we needed to eat with lots of variety. I would certainly recommend Sunny Safari to anyone.

the family goes to Tanzania with Franks help
My husband died in January 2010 and we had been planning a family vacation to Africa .He insisted that we go upon his death so in August 13 of us from age 3 to 70 went to Tanzania. Frank Kilele Savane planned the trip knowing our grief and the specialness of this trip in honor of my late husband . It was thoughtful ,adventurous,comfortable safe and extraordinary. We are an academic family and were so impressed with the quality of nature explanations we heard and with the love of and information about the areas and animals and flora of our guides. The housing was comfortable and the food wonderful.We felt well taken care of.It still is an adventure our family talks about.

Punctual, well organised and welcoming
An efficient and well organised local firm that responded to email and booking queries efficiently and clearly. Booked hotel in Victoria Falls plus activities; guided tour of falls, Zambezi sunset cruise, Livingstone Island lunch and Devil's Pool tour. Newton was a great guide around the falls and all transfers and bookings were executed smoothly and efficiently. I would recommend the firm to others seeking a local firm to organise activities in advance of a holiday.

Best weekend spent with very accommodating hospitality and the scene was spectacular.
Mostly enjoyed the scene of wild beast migration and the rich Masai culture.it was a lifetime experience and highly recommended .
You should definitely make some plans with Bison safaris and you will never be disappointed.

Amazing trip!
I found the agency online and they got back to me in only few hours with all the information. Very profesional since the begining.
The trip was nicely organized, our driver was amazing, great route and loges - the only loge that was okish was in Arusha, but after telling the agency, they found a better one for us.
Highly recomended!

Dry But Beautiful
This reserve abuts Kruger National Park. It's fairly barren in August before the September rains come but filled with wildlife. A railroad runs thru the reserve, but what's surprising is how wild animals accommodate that (and the damage elephants can cause to man-made structures). There was no need for a jacket since it was dry… didn't even get that cold on the night safaris. Also has the Olifant River running thru it giving a great perspective on wildlife around watering holes and the river.

Review about South Africa by Kelly Guenther
I've also journeyed to Amboseli National Park in Kenya. That sits next to Mount Kilimanjaro and was much greener with different wildlife -- but I was also there in May. What I liked about South Africa was the different ecology, the ease of having English spoken everywhere, and the incredible knowledge of most everyone we ran into around the Balule Reserve. I came away far more educated than in Kenya.
