Pleasant Experience
From the outset Joe was always punctual and professional. He is an excellent driver and we always felt safe. His knowledge of the Serengeti and surrounds was excellent. He went out of his way to make our trip memorable and I would highly recommend him

Disappointing, Scary and terrible service
I did a very disappointing 6 day trekking trip with Kapolondo. I was told i would be trekking Rongai route and will be doing camping at nights. But after landing in Tanzania, Tony the owner of the tour tells me that route is changed its marangu and no camping we will be staying in huts. I was shocked! After arranging everything and paying money upfront, they changed the plans without even consulting me. He also asked for a 250 dollar for porter tips when i confronted that since we are using tents and not camping he said i am mistaken and he meant 250,000 shillings.
The guide failed to wake up on the day of the summit and didnt give us any food when we started. We have good reason in believing that he was drunk most of the time. On reaching back, my climbing partner had to witness Tony beating and punching a guide who was just talking to her.
Couple of other people like our assistant guide david and another guide Mike was who assisted us with airport transfer and Arusha town sightseeing was really good. But on the whole the trip was just disappointing.

A very good experience with Ewamanns Safari
I happened upon Ewamanns Safaris on the internet, very wary about what how people wax lyrical about safari companies (only to discover the review is being done by someone connected to the company). Having said that, I would like to state that I only knew 4 people in Kenya before I went and they were Americans ... so no connection to this company.
At no stage was I even a little worried that this was a dodgy company - communication with Erick, the guy in charge, was seamless and done by both email and whatsapp. He responded to my initial enquiry very promptly, providing me with price (very reasonable) and departure dates (which fitted perfectly for my short time in Kenya). I arrived in Nairobi the night before I left for Masai Mara - Erick and I communicated by SMS (no data on my foreign cell phone for Kenya) to finalise where and when I would meet him. At 8am the next morning, we met in the heart of town and he introduced me to the guy who was taking the safari. He made sure that I was all set (getting me 4 bottles of water to take along) before the safari left.
On arrival back in Nairobi 2 days later, Erick organised for his brother to take me out to the suburbs for the cost of a normal taxi fare to where I was staying (a good hour+ in Nairobi Friday afternoon traffic). This was very much appreciated as I did not have to find my own taxi and I felt safe.
And on top of that, the safari was excellent (heaps of animals and beautiful scenery).
Would I use this company again? Yes due to good communications leading up to (and after) the safari and because the price of the safari was very good (others paid more than I did for the same experience).

A combination of jungle safari at Tsavo East National Park and Mombasa Marine National park tour
It was a quick tour to Kenya for 4 days.
Mr Eric of Ewamannssafaris was very responsive from the time we planned this visit till termination of the visit. Although our visit was hectic and planned in a hurry but we never felt being neglected anywhere any time.
Eric always outreached to us for all coordinations.
The hotels he choose for us for night stay were of expected standards with excellent service.
The rates were reasonable. Transport provided was as promised by him. The stay at Kenya Safari Lodge Hotel inside Tsavo East Park was a treat to stay in. In a budget of as low as 300 US $per person was very much justified.
The best thing of Ewamannssafaris is that they give you a personal touch in their services.
I'm planning a family tour next year. And I would love to deal again with Mr Eric and Ewamannssafaris.

The best touring Company!
Simon accommodated my needs for touring dates and schedules. I experienced no problems with the deposit and payments. No day was boring during my tour because they made sure we had something enjoyable to do or see. I enjoyed not just the animals in the wild but also the culture and cuisine of the locals. They had very good accommodation and wonderful customer service, which together created tremendous value. My Trip to Africa helped me exercise my fingers and camera lens. I am glad I went with East African Safari and Touring Company.

What an incredible experience!
Thank you for taking care of us from beginning to end.
I’ve worked with various travel and tour companies for the past years and I must say, EastCo is definitely one of the best ones. My friends and I were on a 12 day tour and had visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mkomazi, Tarangire and Amani Nature reserve. It was a spectacular game viewing experience and the lodgings were impressive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend EastCo. They were more accommodating than what I expected.

I highly recommend!
It was a wonderful Trip. Simon quickly responded to my emails during the inquiry and planning the trip. He was very flexible with the schedule, pick-up and drop-off. Our guide was prompt every day and we have seen a lot of different animals, especially the “big 5” of Serengeti! Aside from receiving 5 star services, we also received 5 star hotel and lodging – the rooms were fabulous and the meals were delicious.
