Nice guide, the jeep could be better
We had a week safari in Tanzania on Dec 2015. Our guide was excellent, italian speaking, very nice. The tour was ok, the jeep could be much better, it was old and not really comfortable for 8 days of safari. A couple of times we had some mechanical problems and we had to stop waiting for the repairs. I understand that this can happen but probably this jeep needs to be replaced.
Picnic lunch every day (except one) is repetitive and unappetising, at the end we preferred fruit and biscuits.
The first safari days we managed to get in the parks just around noon and this means seeing the park during the hottest hours of the day. Furthermore, the arrival in the various lodge took place in the late afternoon letting us run to take a shower and go to dinner. Probably a better organization of the journey and the travel time would have made us visit the parks at their best and enjoy a little relaxation once you get to the accommodations.
Again: our guide Peta was fantastic, we saw lots of animals.

Migration to Marvel
From the moment I decided to travel to Africa my trip was in the hands of a professional who knew and loved the people and country.
I was interested in history, people, and animals (of course!). Pacing was important and well thought out: staying in different styles of accommodations and safari camps which were authentic, comfortable and well resourced. The accommodations chosen were spectacular and within my budget. Without exception, staff at each establishment were professional, friendly and accommodating. The properties themselves were exactly what I'd hoped for, especially each of the safari properties: these were smaller, more personal properties where I was able to become acquainted with other guests, our hosts, and the safari guides and trackers. There was plenty of privacy as a traveling group, too. Further, the guides assigned to our travel group ensured our needs continued to be met and that any emergencies were addressed.
After Safari I continued on alone to Victoria Falls and was treated with the same professional and friendly service as I had enjoyed while part of a group.
As I expected the people and places within Africa stole my heart. I would return in a moment, and would travel most assuredly with the Inside Afrika company.

Highest quality customer service with Easy Travel
Australia is a long way from Africa, so I was nervous about booking our safari. After frustrating negotiations with a number of Australian safari agents, I contacted Easy Travel on Trip Advisor. Wilbert responded to my inquiry within 24 hours, suggesting a fantastic itinerary with top quality accommodation for a very competitive price. It couldn't have been easier!
My wife and I had the most fantastic week on safari to celebrate turning 40. From the elephants in Tarangire to the migration on the Serengeti Plains, we felt spoiled every day as we enjoyed our luxury safari tent accommodation, fabulous food and game drives.
A particular highlight was Serengeti Tortilis Camp, nestled in a quiet valley and teeming with wildlife. We sat and watched the sun go down over wildebeest, buffalo, baboons and giraffe just meters from the lavish camp surroundings.
Thanks Easy Travel, in particular Wilbert and Adrian, for an unforgettable week!

A well organised, breathtaking trip
We had an amazing time on the trip. It was a nice combination of sightseeing and activities. Our driver/guide was very friendly and we had great conversations with him. He also give us tips for the next safari we were going to have, which was good. Because of him, we had something to do on our free day the second trip.
The accommodations were beautiful and the food and service were amazing. It was a little expensive though (we're students). Some cheaper accommodations would have been fine too, if that would have made the costs less. But mostly, we were very happy and content with the accommodations we stayed at.
All in all, we were very happy and content that we chose Matoke Tours for our trip. And we probably would do it again.

Perfect safari - expert guide, excellent service, great accommodations
Our conclusion is that you can completely trust your Tanzanian safari adventure to Kilele Savane. Frank suggested an itinerary and then worked closely with us to tweak it to our specifications, and it was indeed fabulous. Each of our accommodations was unique - be sure to stay in at least one tented lodge for the experience. We also stayed at Boundary Hill Lodge which is up a difficult mountain road and worth it! We had a great view from our luxurious room across miles of the Tarangire and the dinners were extraordinary - outside dining by the patio fireplace. Our guide David was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and flora; with his eagle eyes he could point out many animals that we would otherwise have missed, and he ensured that everyday was chock full of exciting discovery. He's also an excellent driver on roads that were often just rough tracks. David and Frank were always looking out for us, making sure all was going well and to our liking. We couldn't imagine using any other Tanzanian tour operator - so knowledgeable, professional and organized - and highly recommend Kilele Savane.
