Absolutely amazing!
We booked a 6 night/ 7 day safari for
Our honeymoon. We had the best time
From start to finish. The booking process was easy and we had great communication from the office. Any questions or changes were answered straight away.
During our safari, from the moment we were collected from the airport, we were looked after. Our guide Lodi was definitely the highlight his level knowledge was truly amazing. He was also very kind and looked
After us very well.
I can’t explain how good this holiday was and
I believe mainly due to all the kind staff
At big cat safari!

Unbelievable wildlife, customer service and guide expertise!
Our family safari and great migration trip in Tanzania with E-Trip Africa exceeded every expectation. As background, my wife and I had both done safaris on private concessions in Botswana as well as forest elephant and lowland gorilla safaris in Gabon. We didn't expect this trip to exceed either of those experiences, but wanted to take our 10 year old twins on a safari experience. Not only did the kids get an amazing safari, but the wildlife and cultural experiences exceeded all of our previous African safari experiences. Everyday was literally like being on a National Geographic wildlife show. The abundance and diversity of wildlife in Tanzania was well beyond my understanding. We saw all of the big five and then some -with in depth and unhurried experiences up close with many of the animals. What took hours of driving around to see on private concessions in Botswana (at double the cost) occurred regularly on our trip. Our trip also incorporated the Great Migration, which was spectacular to see -even more amazing to see in person than you'd think. Granted, everyone going on a safari should understand that you are attempting to view WILD animals, which means, they're not just there to drive up and see in the same spot -so not everyone will experience the same thing and in general, you should just go into a safari with the understanding that it is an incredible privilege to be out there and enjoy the experience vs. trying to check off every box each day. But that said, traveling through areas that have prioritized conservation greatly increases your likelihood of seeing a diversity of animals. Combine that with an experienced guide (and our guide David was extremely knowledgeable) and in our opinion, a Tanzania safari with E-Trip Africa will be the best safari experience you'll ever have. E-Trip Africa's GM Ben, answered our phone call (US number routed to him in Africa) and took the time to listen to what we wanted from our safari, the age and experience of our family, and put together a proposal. We then spent another 30mins with him on the phone, working through some adjustments we thought might be worthwhile and talking with him about what he thought we'd find best to see, do, etc. He also worked with us to incorporate several cultural experiences, which allowed our kids to see what life was like for people of differing local tribes as well as a local school visit, etc. This allowed our children to better understand Africa overall, and not just think of it as a big place for animals. The lodging was exceptional -even luxurious, though we benefited at the time of traveling shortly after COVID restrictions were relaxed, meaning that several lodges upgraded our accommodations because they were relatively under-booked at the time. The food was also incredible. I really can't say enough good things about the planning, booking, experience and value offered by E-Trip Africa. From the time that Ben took to make sure he understood our objectives and comfort level, to the revisions made for cost, to the time spent to build out some cultural and child oriented activities for our family, the whole booking experience could not have been better. Finally, the quality of your guide is key -not only is this someone who you will spend 8+ hours a day with for the length of your safari, but you will rely on their knowledge of the wildlife, terrain, habitats, etc. to make your trip the trip of a lifetime. Our guide David excelled at all of these things, and it is a tribute to E-Trip Africa for finding and keeping such an experienced guide. I highly recommend E-Trip Africa and Tanzania for your safari!

Profissional and customer oriented
We were apprehensive about the safari as we don’t like crowds (dozens of vehicles looking at the same lion for instance) and do like authencity and privacy.
Soul of Tanzania understood this and we were assigned a very experienced and skilled guide, Wilson.
Wilson just figured out in few hours what we were looking for. It has been a wonderful journey based on exchange and joint experience. We met extraordinary people in the camps and Wilson managed to make us discover places, landscapes, the big five of course, share his passion for the Serengenti and his culture.
We do thank Soul of Tanzania and Wilson especially for this unforgettable experience as we could not have had a better guide than Wilson.
After going through, we deeply understand how lucky we were in the way that it could have been a very regular safari without “spices” and mutual exchange.

Professional and very attentive
With my parents, we spent 6 days among the animals in the South Serengeti and the Ngorongpro crater.
We were quite apprehensive because we like discretion and run away from crowds.
Our guide Wilson immediately understood what we liked and were looking for. Our safari therefore turned into a whirlwind of encounters with extraordinary Tanzanians in the different camps, grandiose landscapes, different experiences (picnics, etc.) closeness with all the animals, the big five obviously and a sharing of knowledge and culture with Wilson.
It is a fabulous and unforgettable trip thanks to Wilson who is the best possible guide!

Efficient, Friendly, Helpful
We booked a "budget group safari" with Meijo. We were able to book any day that we wanted because they collaborate with other similar operators in order to fill their trucks.
Everything was really well organized. Guides, food, campsites and lodges were all excellent. Even though it's a "budget" safari there were some nice small luxuries like getting picked up from the bus stop by the manager, multi course meals, drinks, and even a pool on one of the days. The manager was also very responsive on whatsapp.
And of course, the parks themselves are beyond amazing, there are no words to describe the wildlife of northern Tanzania.

Julius was a very nice and humorous person, perfect prepared, perfect driver, all in all the best!
It was our first Safari and first travel to Kenia. It was a famous experience and we had a really good time. Nice people everywhere. The best Idea was to take a lodge inside the park, you have so much more time to view the animals. Julius made it very comfortable for us. We wish him the best and if we come back ont time, we only want to take him as a guide.
Thank you very much

Highly recommended!
I highly recommend this company to plan a safari! It was my second time to book with Sunny Creek and I would do it again and again!
James, the guide, was ready to give his all to make this experience great for me and for my family! We were able to see a lot of lions and elephants as well as hippos and leopards and even a cheetah, in addition to lots of other animals.
James is also a very good driver, he made us feel safe in every situation and moment!

Very professional
*Unforgettable experience and exceeded expectations*
Very professional company with highly experienced tour guides, everything was perfect.
We were picked up by our tour guide from the airport to our lodge on the first day, the lodge was very comfortable to relax in since it had a very attractive and amazing swimming pool, garden, and room with full air condition not only that but also all staff member at the lodge are kindness, politely and friendly with full customer care which made us more enjoyable.
The next day we started our safari to Tarangire national park. Our guide James shared a lot of experience and knowledge about national park, wild animals, bird species, plant species, maasai culture and fascinating stories.
At the parks, we saw different wild animals very close to our jeep like countless elephants, lions, herds of zebra, Buffalo, Giraffe, Gazelle, baboons jumping from one tree to another with their babies, big trees like baobab trees, and very attractive ecological nature of the park. Hence we are so glad to book our safaris with full package adventures because they made our tour memorable and enjoyable and exceeded our expectations than expected.

Simply memorable! Once in a lifetime
Fantastic! Breathtaking landscapes, majestic animals that can be seen a few feet away, but above all, warm, jovial and professional people. We were surprised at the level of knowledge of the Lomo guides. They do three years of university and a six-month internship in the park to become a guide. They are real encyclopedias on the fauna and culture of this magnificent country. Their joie de vivre, their laughter and their smiles will remain in our memories forever.
On the organizational side, everything was on point. Everything is planned to make us live a unique experience like sleeping in camps in the Serengeti Park with wild animals near the tents. Hearing the lion roar near your tent is an unforgettable moment. But don't be afraid, it's safe and the camps are surrounded by lights all night long.
We particularly enjoyed our experience at the Maramboi Tented Lodge. Imagine a plain with zebras, wildebeests, giraffes a few feet from your window, all with a majestic lake in the background. Breathtaking. The hotels and the food are excellent. Dinners on safari days are simple but very good with choices for all tastes including vegetarians. We had hot meals even at noon in the middle of nature and unlimited fruit.
Plan your trips well because these are dirt roads and it's quite rough at times. The distances can be long depending on your choices and it can be quite tiring but this fatigue is largely compensated by what we have seen. So, in summary I highly recommend Lomo. You will not be disappointed.
