Comfortable tour
We went for a 4days cultural tour as a family and I'm sure they all got satisfied.
They had comfortable vehicles and their guide Henry was hospitable and had updated information.

Organized, detailed, professional, well-run
We did a 8 day, 7 night safari with E-trip in late August 2021 with David as our guide. Our itinerary was Day 1/Night 1: arrive in Arusha; day 2/Night 2: Tarangire park; day 3/night 3: Laka Manyara, stayed on Ngorogoro rim; day 4+5/nights 4+5: central Serengeti; day 6+7/nights 6+7: northern Serengeti; day 8: fly from Koga to Zanzibar. We stayed mostly in tent camps (which I highly recommend to hear the animals that walk by your tent at night). It was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend booking with E-Trip and having David as your guide.
We worked with many other companies in planning the safari, but found E-trip the most helpful. Ben was always quick to respond to my many questions with very detailed answers, and he tailored our itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted to do by helping us make trade offs between lodging and safari costs so that we could get a trip that was what we wanted in our budget. Ben continued to be helpful in preparing us for our trip by continuing to answer all of our questions over email until we arrived. This made sure that we were well prepared and our trip went really smoothly as a result. He even helped us with recommendations for the Zanzibar part of our trip, even though we did not book that part with E-trip (we just booked everything on our own). Ben was really fair and honest and gave us a lot of confidence in booking with E-trip, particularly during the uncertainties of Covid.
We can’t speak highly enough of David as a guide. David was really knowledgeable and took care of everything so that we could just relax and enjoy the trip. We are vegetarians, and he made sure that we always got vegetarian meals. He also did a lot of little things to make our trip go smoothly, like wiping down the dusty windows of the truck every night, pulling up descriptions of the animals and birds in the books he had with, and tailoring each day to what we wanted to do and see. It is clear that he is very experienced, and is good at finding the animals to watch. He explains not only the names of what you are seeing, but also all of their behaviors. As we were leaving Arusha, we stopped at an Airtel store to get SIM cards for our cell phones. A few days into the trip, it was clear that there was a problem with one of the cards, and David went above and beyond to call back to the store many times to get it fixed for us, even though it had nothing to do with E-trip or our tour.
The only “problem” we had with the trip was that the outlet to charge phones/cameras in the car was broken, so we couldn’t charge our phones during the day in the car. We had brought a portable battery(highly recommend doing this) and charged at night in the camps and it was fine. If that is the biggest issue we had the whole trip, it clearly was a very well run safari. Thank you Ben, David, and E-trip!

Incredible
My payment for the domestic tour I took with Azas Safaris was worthy.
I had an amazing experience with the guide and above all he was good at communicating.

Our expectations of the safari tour were overtaken
This trip was years in the planning and when Covid struck it was starting to get the feeling it would never happen. Psalms Adventures helped to alleviate these fears and helped in every way possible to ensure that the trip would happen and that we would have the experience of a lifetime. All the above and beyond ways they helped us.

Great Birthday Tour to Diani
Ongeri Expeditions organised a beautiful birthday trip for my friends and me to Diani beach.
The communication was timely and on the point. We enjoyed our stay tremendously, the owner recommended us a hotel which we were absolutely happy with. He also provided us with valuable insights on activities and must-see places.
Would definitely book with them again!

Very good service with the an excellent driver!
It was our first time in Kenya and our first time in the Safari. We booked a 6 day tour budget group tour in Amboseli, Masai Mara and Nakuru, but 4/6 days we were alone(2 people) with the driver. Patrik, our driver, mabe the trip so pleasant with his knowledge about the african fauna anf flona and his sense of humor. We saw the big 5 and almost all the animals one can see in the safari because of all the hard work he put in to guide us to the best spots. Accomondation was very basic but it did the job. Please do yourself a favor and when you come to Kenya ask for Patrik to be your guide.
Seen the Big 5!
I enjoyed my Safari. This was my first time in Africa (Kenya) and it definitely won’t be my last. Derrick picked me up from hotel and made sure I got back in safely. Safety is definitely a priority for this company. My Safari driver was Albert. He was very patient with all of us. We all wanted to stop the car multiple times to take pictures. Try staying in the luxury camps or hotels! Trust me on this! I stayed in Jambo, my room was great. The food needed some work though. Everyone was super pleasant. We went on the Safari and actually seen all of the big 5! I felt so accomplished. We also watched two lions mate! It was amazing. Make sure you bring shillings to tip the drivers and locals. The van did need to be a bit cleaner. But, overall I enjoyed myself.

The agency is FRAUD!
Me and my friend, we ended up with the Abraham Shaidi’s company (Sandland) as a third part booking. We booked a 5 days safari trip with the Three Peaks Safari agency which sub-contracted our trip to Abraham’s company without asking us.
Our experience was terrible. We have never seen the migration in the North part of the Serengeti neither the Ngorongoro crater as it was in our plan.
Our guide, Albert Lema drove like crazy, broke the safari rules several times by disturbing animals’ peace and put us in danger. We did not feel safe in the car and in the campsites (e.g. driving 90km/h, texting us in the middle of night when we slept, putting us between lion cubs and making noises etc).
On the 3rd/ 4th day, Albert and his boss became very rude to us, blaming us that we cost a lot. Albert also yelled at me in the front of clients, he left the camp at 8pm with our suitcases and without debriefing us. Next day at 08:30am, he came back to the camp without saying any word. He gave us his phone and asked us to speak with his “director”. Albert and Abraham asked us for EXTRA MONEY in order to go to the Ngorongoro crater or we would come back to Arusha. I called the Three Peaks Safari agency and explained the situation. The agency called the police….at the end, we have never seen the crater...
Moreover, the chef, Hilda pretended to be a 26 years old single Maasai mother from Arusha (while she was from the village Mto Wa Mbu as well as Albert) was also a very rude, aggressive and laud person.
The owner is crook and the safari guide with a chef – liars! PLEASE AVOID IT
