An exceptional safari company delivering an unforgettable experience with outstanding service.
From our very first contact with e-Trip, the service was excellent. Ben was incredibly responsive and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our trip, including the animals we hoped to see and the type of experience we were looking for, before putting together a tailored itinerary.
I had plenty of questions and ideas of my own, and Ben patiently talked through all of them, explaining the pros and cons of different options. After a few tweaks, we had the perfect itinerary. The communication remained excellent throughout, with Ben answering all our questions about the safari and Tanzania and Zanzibar generally.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, the great experience continued. The Researcher Rest in Arusha was a fantastic base to start the safari from. Our guide, Alladin, was a star from the outset, even helping us get our bags to us after they missed a flight connection.
Alladin was an outstanding guide throughout the safari — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, a safe driver and with a great sense of humour. With more than 16 years' experience, there wasn't anything he didn't know and was very happy to answer our endless questions. He went out of his way to make sure we had no stresses or worries and was a major part of what made the trip so enjoyable. He also made sure we got to see everything we wanted to see - even with the unpredictability of nature.
All of our hotels were excellent: clean, comfortable and with friendly, welcoming staff. All the transfers and internal flights went without a hitch, making the whole trip feel incredibly well organised.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience with a genuinely tailored itinerary that didn't cost much more than an off-the-peg itinerary from a major UK travel company. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend e-Trip to anyone looking for a safari in Tanzania.

Freeingo – Turning a Dream into an Unforgettable Adventure
To the wonderful Freeingo team,
Thank you for helping us turn a dream into an unforgettable adventure.
From the very beginning, you listened carefully to our wishes and helped us create a journey that started in Kenya, continued through Tanzania, and ended in Zanzibar. Everything was beautifully organized, flexible, and perfectly timed.
A very special thank you to John and Milton, our wonderful driver-guides. They understood how important wildlife and photography were to us and embraced our dream as if it were their own — finding the best positions and angles, starting early when needed, and even waiting patiently for hours so we could witness and photograph the incredible river crossing. Thanks to them, we came home with our own “National Geographic” moments.
Throughout the journey, we always felt that everyone at Freeingo genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience.
We were also deeply touched that members of the Freeingo team came to meet us personally and even brought us a gift. It was such a warm and thoughtful gesture.
This was much more than a vacation — it was a true adventure and a dream come true.
We wholeheartedly recommend Freeingo to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, flexible, and truly caring company.
With heartfelt thanks,
Smadar & Ofer

Great experience!
We had 6 guys (5 over 60) and Kisaza got us to the top of Kilimanjaro. The guides Michael, Ezekiel and PaPa were great and keep us on a plan and pace that ensured we reach the top. The support staff and porters were amazing in providing everything we needed. Everyone one in the group were very friendly and kept us at ease and confident we could make it to the top. We had an amazing experience and recommend the operator with reservations.

Amazing experience
We had an absolutely amazing one-day safari experience! Our tour guide was super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Even though it was only one day, we were lucky enough to see so many incredible animals, including black rhinos, lions, huge herds of animals, and hippos.
As a lovely bonus, we even received a cool T-shirt as a gift! 🦁🦏
I can highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable wildlife experience. We had an amazing time and were truly impressed by how much we got to see in just one day. We would definitely do it again!

Amazing safari, very unforgettable
Our driver Sanare is exceptional. His driving made us feel completely safe, and his incredible ability to spot hidden animals took our experience to the next level. He was also super flexible and took great care of us when we adjusted our schedule for an early start.
Also Francisca support us a lot before and during our safari! She was warm, super responsive on messaging apps, and answered all our questions instantly, keeping us completely at ease.
Highly recommend them for a worry-free safari!

Safe and reliable private Safari to Tarangire NP
We booked a private safari to Tarangire National Park from Arusha for three people at a very reasonable price. We left super early and returned after dark, which meant we could enjoy a long day in the park without having to rush.
Our driver made us feel very safe. He was polite, respected the speed limits and drove very defensively. Inside the park, he also kept a respectful distance from the animals, which was particularly important to us. We saw several other drivers chasing animals around, so we really appreciated that our driver remained calm, waited patiently and gave the animals space. This allowed us to enjoy some wonderful wildlife encounters and get great photos without feeling that we were disturbing the animals.
The food was okay, and we had plenty of drinking water and even some wine! The vehicle had an electricity outlet, and binoculars were provided for everyone.
The only downside was that our driver was a little shy and quiet, so we didn't learn as much about the animals and the park as we would have liked. If having a very knowledgeable and talkative guide is important to you, I'd recommend specifically asking for one when you book. ;)
Overall, we had a wonderful day and really appreciated the responsible and relaxed way our safari was conducted.

Awesome
We did a safari with Isaac as our guide and we had a lifetime experience. Kind, funny, dedicated with his job,... we had a blast and we got to see the big five (we were very lucky). That was a decade ago, but we will look for him for sure if we can repeat a safari again
