Exellent and professionel
We were two grandparents and a 14 years old grandson, that looked forward to a great adventure. We really didnt know what to expect. We saw Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro with the Crater and Lake Manyara National Parks. And it was GREAT. We saw really many animals thanks to the exellent guide and driver Jacob. We saw the big five and so much more. Even a leopard in a tree with a dead impala. And a climbing lion. We loved staying in tents in the nights. We heard a group os zebras running close to our tent. We enjoyed the perfect meals made by our exellent chef Matthew. During the days we had a lot of fun in our group. We can highly recommend the Wild Life Oasis Tours to arrange your next safari. They have great prices and you can have your safari put together just as you want.

Unforgettable Tanzania
We booked a 10 days customized safari program in the southern circuit including the Selous
Game Reserve, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha national parks. Before coming to Tanzania the
communication and planning was excellent - thank you so much Chacha! Our guide/driver for
the trip was Fred. He is a very experienced guide who seems to know everything about the
animals, vegetation and Tanzania land in general. We kept asking questions and always got very
comprehensive answers.
Fred navigated the dirt roads in the parks and knew his way around the vast landscapes, and
sometimes offering help to other less experienced guides. We experienced many long laughs
together and had many interesting conversations sharing.
We still keep in touch with Chacha! So do book your Tanzania safari with Africa Endless
Cruising Safaris and make a request for Fred to be your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Kilimanjaro Climb - excellent support from the moment we arrived at the airport until we left.
The whole team where incredible, catering g to our every need on the mountain. As a group with disabilities we were not sure about how long each day would take. The team leader Richard monitored our progress and adapted each days programme to suit our needs. The whole team were amazing, supporting us as individuals and as a group. Ot was a challenging trek, but with the support of the Tanzanian Travel Company we were able to fulfil our dream of summiting Kilimanjaro. Excellent care was taken of the team members who needed to leave the mountain early.

Your guide was knowledgeable and friendly
The tour was well-planned. I didn't get to see the big five (the leopard was elusive), but overall, I enjoyed the experience.

An experience I will never forget
This safari experience was authentic, fun, adventurous and secure. I can’t thank Mohamed effort for his warm Tanzanian greeting and hospitality while staying in Arusha and making sure we were well looked after. His local suggestions for places to go and guiding us there was awesome, particularly the orphanage visit. With his good friend Andrew always there to transport us where we needed to go with a smile and great help with Swahili lessons. David Simba was an excellent safari guide with great knowledge of the national parks, animals and culture. His singing and spirit were infectious. Nothing was a trouble and you could always count on him for a great story and prime spot to see the animals. The cooked meals prepared by Shidyea were top level and prepared with a smile. He also considered my friends dietary requirements making sure food was gluten free. It was a great camping experience where the tents, mattresses and sleeping bags provided a most comfortable stay. The whole time David made us feel safe and secure. Amazing service by all and it will be an experience I will hold close to me for a long time. Asante Sana Asante Sana

Dishonest cheats!
Try to avoid this safari company at all costs! Reasons below:
1. We were quoted 120 USD for 2 people for a private safari. After reaching, we were put together with 3 more people, who paid 45 USD each, but the price was not reduced for us. Later, after finding out, when we asked for a refund, it was denied by the company.
2. The safari promised was for 12 hours. The guide cum driver (the owner's son) stopped abruptly at 12:30 for a 3 hour break. They probably have a connection with this hotel, and though we all carried our own food, we had to stay in the hotel for this time.
3. The homestay was in the owner's house. The flush does not work properly, the bathroom does not drain, so you are in a pool of dirty water.
4. The owner's wife would knock and enter the room without waiting for a reply.
5. We were forced to leave at the same time as the owner and his sons left for office, since they wanted to economize on one round to drop us at the bus station.
6. After all of this, and cheating us of 30 USD, the owner was trying hard to sell their Masaai Mara package to us, though we kept telling things were already arranged.
Our trip was amazing, except for this single experience.

A fabulous, flawless trip from start to finish
We highly recommend both eTrip Africa and David Moshi, our guide. This trip was a celebratory, luxury trip for my husband and I that took a year to plan. eTrip replied promptly to our inquiries both before and during our trip. They listened to us and made well thought-out suggestions to improve the whole experience. In addition, they provided a detailed cost breakdown that allowed us to decide how best to spend our budget. From arrival in Nairobi to our departure from Zanzibar, every pick-up and every transfer occurred exactly to plan.
Huge thanks to both Ben and Aurélie at eTrip who patiently responded to every question and organised every detail. We celebrated both our 30th wedding anniversary and my husband’s birthday. This information must have been passed to the camps and lodges by eTrip since we definitely were given star treatment and superior rooms in a number of locations!
The trip comprised a week on safari then four nights in Zanzibar. We stayed overnight in Nairobi on arrival then flew to the Masai Mara to spend two nights at the Entim Camp, located on the Mara river. From there we hopped over the border to the Four Seasons Lodge in the Serengeti for two nights (via two short flights and a drive across the border). This was followed by a night at the Sopa Lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro crater. From Ngorongoro we travelled to the Manyara Tree Lodge for two nights, finishing our safari with a night at the Lemala Camp at Mpingo Ridge. We flew from Arusha to Zanzibar, staying at the Zanzi Resort for four nights before flying from Zanzibar back to Nairobi for the direct return flight to London.
A Masai guide and driver (Duncan and Daniel) employed by Entim accompanied us on game drives in the Mara (both of whom were great). Fans of the big cats, their skill enabled us to have numerous, amazing encounters with lions, leopards and cheetahs. It was an incredible start to our safari. David Moshi, our eTrip driver/guide for the remainder of the trip, met us when we landed in Tanzania. David was a wonderful guide who is clearly well known and respected on the safari circuit; it was an absolute pleasure to spend a week in his company. Not only was he hugely knowledgeable about every species we encountered, with an incredible talent for spotting game and wildlife, he was patient (with every silly question), good company and enormous fun. He took time to learn about our preferences. He drove slowly when needed to sneak up on animals to get great close-up shots without disturbing them. He was also terrific at explaining the animals’ behaviour and what he was looking out for. Additionally, he paid attention to our energy levels and adapted plans when tiredness kicked in (and when an old back injury resurfaced for me) allowing us time to enjoy the facilities in the camps and lodges too.
Thank you eTrip for an experience of a lifetime. Time to start saving so that we can return again….

Fantastic!
I would highly recommend Hilmar as a tour guide to everyone who visits Zimbabwe. He drove us patiently from Victoria Falls to Harare. The car was very comfortable. What I really appreciate is that Hilmar was always ready to answer any questions we had, or accommodate any stops we decided to make. Thank you Hilmar!
