The absolute best tour group.
From the time I was matched up with Lizbeth as my tour operator, to the day we concluded our trip, the service provided by Easy Travel was unlike any other. Easy travel offered competitive prices for quality accommodations. We did a 3 night / 4 day safari and had an unforgettable experience. We stayed at the Serena Lodge in Arusha, the Tortilis camp in the Serengeti and Serena lodge in the Ngorongoro crater. Everything from beginning to end was amazing. Our driver, Richard, became more life family. He was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. We spotted the big five and even saw a kill. Richard was very keen on us seeing as much as possible in the 4 days we were there. Thank you, Lizbeth and Richard and the team and Easy travel, for the best experience.

Best experience of my life!
At the end of the day there are a lot of safari companies and they all go to the same park destinations. Therefore, at the end of the day your safari experience is going to boil down to how management runs the company and the employees. The level of customer service that this company offers blew my mind. From the onset the communication was top tier. I never assume anything so I tend to ask a lot of questions. Some people can make you feel like you're overthinking things and doing too much but they answered every question and concern quickly and professionally, which warmed my heart from the start. Once we arrived, the p/u was on time and the driver was so helpful and friendly. Again I can't stress this enough, all the safari companies pretty much travel the same safari circuit. Your experience boils down to how management runs the company. This was one of the best experiences of my life. Benjamin is a walking encyclopedia. He knows much about the animals and even studies on his own. He just enjoys his work. He went over and beyond to make sure we squeezed everything out of the experience. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've received this level of service. Then.... the food! I am from Texas where we cherish good food. I thought the other reviews were exaggerating about how good the food was. They were not! The chef was amazing. I have never seen someone take so much pride in preparing meals. He loves to take pictures of his food, he is so proud and puts so much love into preparing them.. I thought this was sweet. The other safari companies had box lunches, it kind of upset me they didn't care enough to offer them hot meals like we had. I could go on and on. Bottom line, I'm telling everyone I know to book with them. I will never forget this trip. Bravo guys!

Excellent program and was worth the money
We had a great communication with Robert for the program. He was extremely fast and accurate in responding our emails and provided us with sufficient info, as we required. We received a detailed plan for our 5-day Safari trip (Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate) and the tour was in line with the initial program. We saw almost all the animals including the Big 5 which was more than expected. Our drivers Mike and Raymond were indeed experienced, knowledgeable and caring and provided us with valuable info in details.
So all in all our experience was adventurous and was definitely worth the money. Highly recommended to the travelers on budget.

Trip was very well organized. Our guide/driver for the Safari Abdul was fantastic .
Sunny Travels (Saffa) did an awesome job with helping organize the trip for us from start to finish.
They put us up in awesome lodges, Serena lodges that were beautifully located and with excellent rooms. Food was very good and also took care of our preferences for vegetarian and vegan food.
Abdul our guide and Land Rover driver was fantastic, always smiling and cracking jokes and well informed and kept us on a good schedule. We saw tons of animals and a lion hunt as well.
It was a very well organized trip with all details kept in mind. Thank you Sunny Safari, Saffa and Abdul for giving us an awesome time.

Friendly, professional and attention to detail to create the perfect holiday that is wished for.
We booked a bespoke itinerary with svai. Priyal and her team arranged everything to the finest detail and her recommendations of hotels suited us perfectly - she understood exactly what we wanted. She booked our safari guide, Walter, who was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgable of the serengeti and the animals. All our flight transfers and hotel transfers worked like clockwork and everyone was so friendly. Svai were available always for any little queries I had. I can’t fault them in any way and would recommend them 100%. They are a safe company to use in Tanzania and have so much knowledge of travel. Thank you priyal and team for creating a dream holiday for us.

Well planned and it was worth the money
First of all, the communication with the agency through the email was flawless and very efficient, the detail of the tour and all the costs were clear. The both drivers Mike and Rymond were very helpful and had quite good knowledge about the visited places and the animals. The accommodations were not the best but ok, foods (3x per day) and water were provided, so I can say it was worth the money. We did a 5-day tour including lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, and lake Naivasha and we enjoyed everyday of the trip. The only thing is the first hotel in hotel Nakuru could be chosen better. In summary, I recommend this Safari, if you don’t spend too much money on the Safari.

Exciting Safari Expedition
Although it was not my first safari to Africa with my always amazing guide David, there is always fascinating experience every time that makes me not to have enough of safari.
Last month I booked with Native Afrika and I traversed through different national parks this time with my friends that were visiting for the first time to Kenya. We had an amazing time, and like always we came back very satisfied.
David who is the co- owner of the company is very accommodative and knowledgeable host and guide, and we were lucky as well to have him as our guide now that he is not on safaris very often like before. We got see most of the wildlife including the rare hunting dogs in Samburu, black rhinos with a calve and unsuccessful lion hunt in Lake Nakuru and we finally winded up with Maasai Mara where of course we saw lots of elephants, buffalos, zebras and cat.
All the accommodations both in lodges and camps met our expectations just at the perfect locations for the safaris. David included in some of these properties free room upgrade that was a surprise for us and offered Champagne sundowner at middle of nowhere in the savannah we just only us on our last day on safari it was fabulous and exalting to just sit listen to the dead silence as the sin gets down the horizon.
I will always book my safari with Native Afrika and I won't as well hesitate to recommend them to my friends and anyone who is thinking safari to Africa/East Africa.
Asante David and NAV team as whole.

THE BEST
What can I say but wow. Copious Africa Safaris exceeded my expectations on so many levels that I have no problem recommending them.
It's difficult to decide which company to reserve with for a safari tour. Prices vary greatly and there is a plethora of competition. Thus, it can be very challenging to determine what represents a good value for money. In this area, Copious Africa really excels. They consistently won our comparisons of various tour operators and our reading of numerous customer reviews. Daniel, the managing director, responds to your emails and texts more quickly than other people do. He is a professional who values his clients and is courteous. Changing accommodations, visiting national parks, getting picked up and dropped off, and other requests were no problem for him to accommodate in any package.Before we even left for Kenya, Daniel went above and above to assist us! Just hours before our flight, he was able to resolve our Visa issue. I will always be grateful for this because it prevented us from missing our flight and needing to rebook. This is not something that other businesses would do for their customers. When I accidentally forgot my wedding ring in the hotel early in our journey, he again came to our rescue. He made an extra effort to return and retrieve it, then met us on our final day to return it. Copious Africa can handle any issue, no matter how big or small, and they'll aid you if they can.
We chose the 10-day special Kenya safari for our trip, and it did not dissapoint. Samburu National Reserve, Olpejeta Conservancy, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo west, and Maasai Mara National Reserve were among the national parks we visited. James our driver and tour guide, was introduced to us by Daniel on the morning of our arrival (nicknamed Guru). a more than 12-year tour guide with expertise, knowledge, and friendliness. Throughout our entire stay, Guru provided excellent care, was punctual, gave us wise counsel, and ensured we made the most of our vacation. He gave us plenty of knowledge and insights into Kenyan life, the various tribes, dialects, and landscapes along the trip, and the routes were always interesting.
Additionally, he provided us with really useful information on tracking different species, warning signs to watch for, and their behaviors, which further enhanced our memorable experience. We had already seen the Big Five on day three. Even better, we were able to see two lions hunting and a pride guarding a kill from hyenas and other scavengers.
The hotel Daniel had selected for us was ideal for our requirements, preferences, and expectations, and he went beyond and added a few extra hidden treats, such room upgrades, champagne bottles, flower arrangements, and fruit plates. Additionally, we decided to upgrade to a Toyota Land Cruiser. Along with doing this, I highly advise scheduling a private tour because, despite the slight premium, it is luxurious.
If and when we book in the future, we would definitely book with Copious Africa Safaris again, and I suggest and recommend you do to!
