Not only the best safari tour company, But also the best tour guide, DEO!!!
We recently returned back from one of our best trips with Easy Travel and indeed best driver/Guide , DEO!
Everything was organized and perfect.
DEO was extremely knowledgeable, professional and a lot of fun. We saw every animal we could have hoped to see: lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffalos ...
We would like to thank the entire Easy Travel team for our wonderful vacation.
Ask for Deo to be your guide and you will not be disappointed!

Hassle free and loads of fun for a single traveller !
I went in a four day Safari as a single traveller and the experience was great . Prior to arriving only booked in SA And Esleen was an amazing help from booking me a flight In and out og kruger to pick up and accomodation in Johannesburg and even someone to meet me on my international departure day at the airport on return with my excess luggage.
The safari guides are good humoured very kind and the dining experience was lovely at night by lantern !
Great food and some good wine to go with dinner !
We saw the big five multiple times and the accomodation was neat and centrally located.
An awesome experience !

Excellent customer service by Erick
As students with very limited budget, safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania are very difficult to be arranged with the high costs in accommodation, game drives and park entries, especially during the migration period. I rarely write a review for my trips but I am writing this review to express my utmost gratitude to Erick of Ewamanns Safaris, who has tried his best over the past three months to make our safari trip work.
From the start, Erick has always been very responsive, caring and professional. He always tried his best to offer extra and more intimate services and tailor to all our requests. In particular, he answered all of our questions understanding that we have limited knowledge about Kenya and Tanzania. He demonstrated passion and enthusiasm to show the best of his country to us, and treated us as good friends rather than merely clients. His English may not be the best, so do we, but he always provided us with clarifications in case we did not understand anything. We are totally confident with the outstanding arrangements of Erick, from the very simple and safe booking procedures to promising us nice, passionate and knowledgeable drivers. We would also like to thank Erick for contacting and negotiating with KWS for us in order to obtain the student rates for the national reserves. While it has failed in the end, the tremendous effort which Erick has put in is highly appreciable.
Looking forward to our trip in Kenya and Tanzania in July and August, we are confident that we will have great adventures seeing the natural wonder of migration, understanding local cultures, enjoying Kenyan and Tanzanian cuisines, and more importantly, meeting Erick, a good friend who has helped us in all his capacity to bring our dreams come true.

Amazing trip, Tanzania really surprised us
This is one of a lifetime trip and we wanted to make sure we had the best advise on what to do and visit. We were really impressed with the organization (all done via email), and the quick response to all our pre-travel inquiries. The guide was very friendly, and took good care of us, and the lodges were all very good. And the recommendation to visit Zanzibar after the safari was great. Tanzania is a beautiful country with very nice people, and the good service from It Started in Africa just enhanced our experience. Thanks!

we had a fantastic time because of all the arrangements being top notch.
Ute did a really good job with the back and forth emails. she responded very quickly. the safari itself was beyond words. it was awesome seeing all those wild animals up close. we will have wonderful memories to share with family and friends. it was beyond our expectations. the accommodations were very satisfactory. the transportation arranged was excellent except for one glitch, but Ute took care of it very quickly. we will recommend this operator to anyone we know who is going to south africa.

A lifetime trip.
What an awesome trip it was,...i would say,'gametrackers lead,others follow'.
We had a wonderful time during the Lake Turkana Cultural Festival,everything was well executed,
wonderful and friendly staff,very professional too,the food was on point,we slept in tents all the way which was a great idea.I also met and made new friends during this trip,some who have become completely part of my life.
In short it was a great adventure with gametrackers,having been driven in an overland truck and so i would recommend them anytime to anyone

Professional & Well Organised!
My experience with Encounter has been nothing but professional from the onset. We were a group of 2 travelling to Uganda for 3 days to Bwindi National Park. The communication on agreeing costs was timely and professional including all one would need to know to prepare for the trip. Online payment process does include a 5% surcharge but avoids you carrying loads of cash around.
Joseph Kalanzi, our driver and guide was superb. He was very informative and a safe driver in what was a long road trip from Entebbe to Bwindi. He was very accommodating and when my colleague broke her arm in a fall he couldn't do enough to get her to a local clinic. The lodge where were staying was very intimate and the owner was very passionate about wildlife conversation.
Overall cannot fault Encounter in the service they provided and would not hesitate to recommend anyone wishing to do a trip to Uganda with them.
