Wonderful safari!
We've just finish our fuor days safari. It was perfect! We've been in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Beautiul landescape and fantastic animals. Our guide, Lewis, was very qualified, and our chef, Prince, prepared for us a lot of good food. He worried about our tastes. We didn't have any problem whit the jeep. All the staff took care of us.
We have been in tent, the equipment was all Ok
We recommend a safari with Travel for Change Africa.

Efficient, responsive and trustworthy
My wife and I travelled to the Masai Mara for the Great Migration and had the most wonderful time. Clare was most helpful in her timely, responsive and accurate advice. We stayed at Kichwa Tembo and had an amazing experience. The entire safari trip went very smoothly and although it was our first time in Kenya, we felt completely safe due to Clare's planning. Our transfers were smooth and went without a hitch. I would highly recommend Kibiko Safaris, and expecially Clare, for anyone looking for a stress-free holiday.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, full of wildlife
Beautiful landscapes, and we saw the big 5 (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, buffalo) plus everything else - cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, hyena, warthogs, hippos, crocs, etc. We waited a few hours at the end to see a herd of wildebeest cross the Mara River. July and August is the best time to go to the Mara to see the wildebeest migration and cats hunting. We saw lions, cheetahs, and leopards with fresh kills. It's the dry season so more animals are out and about at the watering holes. The Masai are graceful with their bright red cloaks and kind to the tourists. We didn't do the cultural visit to the Masai village because another guest told us that you have to pay extra to get in, and it was mostly uncomfortable situations of them pressuring you to buy souvenirs or donate more money. You can hang out with Masai at the camps anyways.
Lenchada camp was great - safari tents with comfortable beds on cots, bed nets, and a private bathroom with hot water attached to your tent. There are Masai workers at the camp that make a campfire at night who are nice and fun to talk to. Some other tourists even bought a goat from the Masai and roasted it over the fire. Just make sure you leave your tent zipped so the baboons don't get in at night. No locks on the tents. Dinner and breakfast buffets were hot and tasty, and also had fruit, tea, hot chocolate, and beer. Only the packed lunch they gave us for the safari day was rubbish - sandwich with dry bread and a few slices of tomato - come on. Inedible. Luckily I had taken some extra breakfast with me. The camp runs a generator for a few hours so you can have lights and charge your phone.
The only critique is that many of the dirt roads are absolutely horrible and I'm surprised our big safari van made it through most of them. Even the roads outside the park coming from Nairobi practically gave me a stroke from the vibration, bouncing, and noise. Also during the high season, there are a lot of safari vans swarming around the animals, which is a bit annoying, but understandable.

More than a five star experience
In july 2017 we went on a six day safari with Easy Travel. We visited the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park. We had the best driverguide; Thomas. He is enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, very attentive to our needs and wishes, and he's very respectful of the nature and the animals we encountered. He's one of the main reasons our safari was such a big success and he made our safari experience perfect! Besides that he has a great sense of humor and we enjoyed his company.
Easy Travel (Norah) made sure it was a very smooth planning process and good communication before, during and after the safari including pre- and post briefings at the office. They made sure we got exactly what we wanted - in fact we got much more than that.

Very organized, no problems at all!
The communication through WhatsApp was very useful. They picked us up in Dar Es Salaam and drove us to the airport and picked us up at the airport after the safari and drove us to our residence, which made life very easy. The safari was incredible - cannot say enough positive feedback. Definitely the highlight of the trip.

Unforgettable honeymoon experience
First of all, we would like to thank the whole team for making our honeymoon such a wonderful experience. We arrived rather late at night at Entebbe and was greeted by a warm, German speaking staff of yours. We reached the first hotel -even though it was not what we expected from the itinerary-we had a nice view of the lake victoria. The next day, we were greeted by our super talented guide, Brian. We were so touched to receive the handmade booklets, uganda coffee beans and some maps and brochure for our trip. We really appreciate the gesture from the team. Once we were seated, Brian drove us to Kabale, where we were to stay a night before our epic encounter with the mountain gorillas in the bwindi forest (the gorilla experience was really amazingly organised) Brian was a very knowledgable guide and we learned a great deal from talking with him -We learned about different animals, birds and plants that we encountered, and most of all, we learned to deeply appreciate Uganda - its people, culture and nature. At the end of our stay, the company even gave us a small parting gift for our honeymoon! It's really sweet and generous of them!!! I couldn't recommend this team enough for making our trip so unforgettable!! Thank you!

Every detail perfect - our guide felt like family by the end.
Our experience with eTrip Africa was exceptional. Ben and Aurelie in the office were always available to answer my many questions and give advice while we were making our plans. Our guide, Alladin, was very knowledgeable and easy going. He handled our family (including teenagers) with good humor. Everything went as planned with our arrangements. There were no disappointments. I've already been working on my brother to arrange a safari with them!
Prompt response to e mails and everything was as promised
Excellent on all fronts the driver on safari was excellent
