Great Experience and most memorable tour
From the time we made our booking, Andrew gave us the best recommendations and was very accommodating with all our changes & requests as we were a group of 6 going on a 7 day tight packed schedule safari.
We were in the company of driver guide Robson who made our 7 days entertaining, comfortable, friendly & warm. How he spotted animals was beyond our telling, very keen and professional. He was very well informed about the animals and knew exactly where to go to get the best viewing. We saw the big five and much more through our journey covering Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire.
When i go back to Tanzania again, rest assured it will be with this company again!

You can not be in better hands then with ETrip Africa
I can’t say enough about Ben and his staff at Etrip Africa. I reached out to eight different tour operators focusing on those who worked in Tanzania, Rwanda and possibly a connection to the States. Ben was one of only two who replied with an offer to talk instead of just sending me a price quote based on an itinerary I had sent them based on my own research. I found our Skype conversation incredibly helpful as Ben gave me his professional and local expertise on how we could better utilize our time to see what we really wanted to see at the same time keeping within our budget. By focusing on less travel time between camps and locations and more focus on wildlife viewing we were able to throw in some extra treats like staying at a nicer camp closer to the cheetahs (one of our main focus) and also a hot air balloon ride for our anniversary, all while keeping us within our stated budget. Our guide David in Tanzania was fantastic. A real gentleman and pleasure to be around. This is incredibly important as you will be spending a lot of time in the company of your guide and I cannot recommend David more highly. For our time in Rwanda, also coordinated with ETrip Africa we had Kevin as our guide and he was just an incredible human being. Trying to understand what he and the rest of the citizens of Rwanda have been able to overcome is just so amazing and then you add in two jaw dropping treks to see the gorillas and you have an incredible ending to an unforgettable trip. I also want to say a special thanks to Ben for helping us when Turkish Airlines cancelled our original flight and had us instead arrive at 5:15am in the morning. Without a hotel to stay at, Ben came to our rescue and offered to pick us up at the airport and bring us to his bed and breakfast (The Researchers Rest) and gave us a bed to sleep in and breakfast to tide us over until our hotel room was available at our initial stop. I can’t thank him and ETrip Africa enough. So sit back and relax with the knowledge that these people know what they are doing and will always be there for you.

Great variety of reserves and great driver.
James' communication was very clear, and he responded promptly. Payment was easy (PesaPal & cash). The safari itself was great. We stayed at Sopa Lodges. They were all good (varying quality) with good food. Our driver was great. He knew how to drive in a game reserve better than most of the other drivers. He got us closer than 10 feet to rhinos, lions, cheetahs, and zebras, something most of the other drivers didn't manage to do. Overall great experience.

Organized, listens to needs, responsive, creative and handles issues with solutions.
Duma Explorer is an expert at communicating from the start to finish! The amount of money is cause for careful examination and possible referral in this investment. After introductions via email with Stacey Readal owner/founder the interaction was smooth. By the time I had to send the total amount I was more than comfortable and thoroughly excited for the Safari planned a year in advance.
The 10 day Safari was guided by Shange Wilson. His knowledge and experience made our trip safe and flawless. We fell in love with his warm, calm spirit. The animals, birds and wildlife was absolutely incredible! We were blown away that there is still a place on earth where the great animals still roam in peace and harmony, of course until someone gets hungry. We did see a kill and that happened so quickly, it wasn't a big deal.
I highly recommend Duma Explorer as your go to when it comes to an African Safari!

Clyde planned a trip of a lifetime that far exceeded our expectations and made us fall in love with.
When we set out to plan our 3 week trip to Africa, we thought we knew where we wanted to go and when. After researching many companies to plan our trip, it was quite obvious who stood out above them all. Clyde at Tailormade Africa was the only one to truly understand our wants and needs. We weren't just another customer. He really listened to us.
He has such a love for Africa and wanted to make sure that he passed that feeling on to us. We can't say enough about Clyde and the amazing experience he planned for us.
Based on what we wanted to see during our trip, Clyde choreographed such a memorable trip. He educated us on where we wanted to be and when. We wouldn't have changed a thing.
We were treated like royalty. Every detail was taken care of. Clyde was always there for us while planning our trip, as well as during our trip. Our trip was a very uptempo 3 weeks, with a lot of moving parts. We were guided smoothly every step of the way. He would reach out to our camp or hotel if he couldn't check in with us. Who would do that? It was such a touching personal touch.
Every camp that Clyde booked for us was outstanding. The accommodations, the food, the staff, the wildlife!! WOW!! WOW!!WOW!!
Our hotels were gorgeous. Best locations. Top notch. We would repeat the entire trip tomorrow if we could.
We never met Clyde in person, but definitely feel that we can call him friend. He deeply touched our heart and soul and helped us to fall in love with Africa. I have tears welling up in my eyes as I write this because it was such a memorable trip. We are blessed to have found Clyde and to have found our new love of Africa.
Our hope is to return one day soon.
In the meantime, I am eager to share my experience with anyone who will listen. My hope is that if you're reading this you'll be able to experience a fraction of what we did. And that you'll return with a newfound love of Africa. Happy travels.

Amazing guide showed us everything!
My husband and I booked a 6 day/5 night safari with Travel for Change Africa and had an amazing time. The owner/general manager Patricia was very responsive to all our inquiries and worked with us to create the itinerary we wanted. We did one day in Tarangire NP, three days in the Serengeti (one day in the north and two in central), and one day at Ngorongoro, with the final day a drive back to the airport (and on to Zanzibar). On the day we arrived in Tanzania, we met with Sylvia, the head of the local Travel for Change office, and our guide David to go over the itinerary. David was an amazing guide - his knowledge, kindness, humor, and skill were endless. We saw every animal I had hoped to see and more, and I couldn't believe how close we were to them. Travel for Change also helped us to arrange our hotel in Zanzibar as well as transfers between the airport. Would definitely book with them again!

To be remembered with a Warm heartbreak for a long time.
When travelling in the land of Lions and Hippoes and all the other beautiful animals, what you truly need is a safe, Kind and knowledgeable guide/driver. Nickson has been our guy, and the best ever!
He was amazing at finding the animals, and we experienced moments(minutes) of true magic.
The Mbugani tented camp was the perfect place, with positive people and really Good food.
We can reccommend Savannah Explorers!

Unforgettable experience!
Everything was organized perfectly, the driver and guide Mandela and the chef Emmanuel were very concerned to keep us all happy.
Mandela is very much prepared on all the wildlife facts and info and very available to hear our suggestions and expectation so to try to fufill them.
The nice meals prepared by Emmanuel were a perfect company to our 5 days safari
