Great Experience
OT, owner operator, was quick to respond to any question emailed. When we first arrived we were taken to OT's office. I was a little put off by the condition of his building, however was pleasantly surprised with our accommodations throughout our trip. We ended up taking the luxury package for comfort. There was a group of five of us assigned to a driver named John. He was amazing!!!! He knows the area, was extremely personable, showed us tons of animals, made us feel safe, and gave us helpful suggestions. We visited the Masi Village along with the school. Please pack some school supplies for their bare classrooms.(Pack an extra suitcase for these teachers.They need a heavy duty pencil sharpener, books, paper, chalk boards, bulletin board items, such as a map fill etc...)They have nothing. As a teacher it really tugged on my heartstrings to see such a need. Also we took bags of candy to the 30 some children in the Masi Mara Village, most of them are barefoot. Pack yourself some snacks, wipes, and tissue just in case. We all took B-Complex with Thiamine to help deter mosquito bites. Request John to be your driver, he was exceptional. We felt safe the entire time!!!! By the way he really likes Fanta Soda.

Incredible experience
We went for a 4 days safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Exceeded expectation! They are very well organised so you have the chance to see all the animals and learn from their culture, they know everything about the park and the animals so they managed to answered all our questions. They are all very friendly and fun plus they are always making sure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself. The camp was perfect, food was great.
I want to especially thank Clevers, Isaac and Lawrence, take care of yourselves and I hope I'll see you again.
Many thanks guys!!

The wonders of the world were not hear says on that day it was real as we received reputable tour guide from the Charis Uganda Safaris team. I sincerely assuring you will never ever regret touring by Charis Uganda Safaris. They are professionals on their kind. Long live Charis Uganda Safaris

Great safari in Southern Tanzania
I went for "8-Day Southern Tz Safari Selous/Mikumi/Ruaha/Udzungwa".
Ruaha was very nice! There were a great numbers of Impala, giraffe, elephats, and also lions.
And three elephants came into the campsite, just front of my banda!
We wished to changed the schedule, staying longer Raha instead of Udzungwa, and Elen arranged for us.
Thank you very much, we really enjoyed Ruaha!
Our driver told us the best season of Ruaha is September. So I like to come back to Tanzania in September.

Lean back, relax and enjoy. Cholo tours gives you the safari you are dreaming about!
Just lean back, relax and enjoy. Cholo tours do everything so you don't have to worry about a thing during your safari. You can really trust that this safari company give you what they promise you. All aspects of the safari, from the comunication with the owner cholo preparing your trip, guides, and accommodation, everything is excellent. I did not hesitate to recommend Zanzibar cholo tours & safaris when a colleague were going to Tanzania for safari. Her family also had a great safari with cholo tours & safaris. I had a great safari in Ngorongoro. The guide found all the big 5, he was experienced and pleasant. I came back to Arusha the following year. On this trip i got sick, and the only person i trusted to call was cholo He helped me to find a good hospital and i got the treatment i needed. I have been on safari with another company in the area before, but if I will come back for another safari in the future, I am sure I will book with Zanzibar cholo tours & safaris again. I highly recommend this safari company.

Incredible bespoke safari of uganda, with excellent knowledge of best areas, places to stay & guides
Nothing but good to say about booking our safari via Experience Uganda. Kevin immediately responded to queries with personal responses, reasonable quotes and knowledge of the country and tourism in Uganda. He tailored our trip to what we wanted to do and also advised best ways to see things. We had a limited time and his advice on when to fly, when to drive and amount of times in each location were excellent. We had an increadible time seeing wildlife, in Isasha, Bwindi and Murchison Falls as welll as Jinja for rafting. We had great local Guides, who had a sense of humour as well as breadth of knowledge of the country. The guesthouse in Entebbe is a very comfortable place, with excellent food and perfectly located near the airport for early flight times! Will be recommending to friends!

What A Amazing Trip!
Just got back from an amazing African safari trip! Eastco was amazing all throughout our tour in the northern Tanzania. From the first contact online to the last day of our safari trip, the staff was always available to answer our questions. When we arrived, our amazing tour guide James welcomed us and stayed with for the next 7 days! He spoke English well and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour.
I must say, Serengeti national park was life changing. I couldn’t have imagined how many lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, gazelles and many other animals we saw. Aside from the memorable animal sight-seeing, the hotels and lodging exceeded my expectations. Top notch hotel service… top notch food and top notch stay.
Not only do I praise Eastco for the experience but also recommend them! You won’t go wrong with Eastco.

Excellent but crowded
The Ngorongoro Crater offers both amazing experiences and large crowds due to its smaller size. It's one of the best places in Tanzania to see rhinos, and in general the wildlife is very accustomed to vehicles so you can get a close view of interesting behavior. On the downside, everyone makes it a stop on their safari, so it can get quite busy. We had a rhino near the road on our trip, and I counted at least 35 vehicles jockeying for position to see it. Certainly not a feeling of being out in the wilderness!
