Excellent, knowledgeable guide! Overall great experience!
5/5

Josphat took the time to email and arrange everything to our liking. He was responsive and accommodating.

Our driver and guide, Joffrey, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the safari (he told us he had over 30 years experience in the safari business). He got us right up close to various groups of animals. We even saw cheetah and lions eating their kill (might be graphic for some). Joffrey arranged for us to go to a Masai village, which was another good experience.

One thing I would change would be staying at the Mara Sidai Camp. Although the staff were all very kind and accommodating, it was a little too "rustic" for our liking. The tent zippers were not all working... the electricity did not run long enough for us all to get ready with light in the mornings... etc. However, it was clean and again, the staff was great.

Overall everything was good
4/5

Overall the experience was good when we came down there. We got prompt feedback in most of cases about the cost and everything we had to ask. The arrangement of hotels and safari trips were very thoughtful and met our expectations. There was a small issue happened before we went to Amboseli as the vehicle was not the one we expected. We understood the reason but it would be better if we could be communicated earlier rather than knew it when it happened. Still it was a good trip and experience. Thank you.

A trip of a lifetime with Easy Travel!
5/5

The most challenging part of planning a safari is finding the right tour company with the best service at a reasonable cost. When I found out about Easy Travel, it was clear this was the team I wanted to work with for a trip of a lifetime. We had an amazing experience from the time we arrived at JRO airport until the last day, Easy Travel delivered on their promise. Of course all of this would not be possible without Deo, our driver/guide during the safari. He was friendly, experienced and knowledgable about the animals and their behavior. We hope to return someday for the great migration and will definitely work with Easy Travel again.

Tanzania Northern Circle Safari
5/5

Just completed a wonderful weeklong trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Safari with e-Trip Africa. Great experience, every detail was handled and prepared properly. Ben Jennings is great, our guide/driver David knew where to go, what to look for and get us to and from the camp safely no matter the weather.
We saw all we wanted to see. Will definitely do it again with them.

Very professional and friendly service
5/5

We had a wonderful holiday in the Kruger National Park, and Jamela Africa Safaris did an excellent job to make our holiday a wonderful experience. Sheilagh went out of her way to tailor make our holiday exactly as we want it. She did all our bookings and communicate with up on a regular basis. We want to travel to Botswana and Zambia next year and I will definitely make use of her again. Thanks Sheilagh.

Namib Desert Ride.
5/5

I have done many riding trips but this was probably my favourite. To see no, litter, buildings, pylons or aeroplanes and few 4 x 4s for 9 days was not something I had experienced before and must be fairly unique. The surroundings were really breath-taking. I can take or leave game in places like Kenya, but in Namibia, where there is literally no water, it was frankly a miracle and therefore a privilege to see herds of oryx, springbok, zebra and wildebeest and healthy looking ones at that. The dedication of the staff on this trip left me speechless: they have what I would cause a skeleton crew on this trip but they worked tirelessly to ensure the horses received the best of care and that we as guests were properly looked after. The bed rolls are worthy of a special mention in dispatches. Vincent and Phoebe created banquets in the trailer kitchen! The riding was not for the faint-hearted which was exactly as it should be in such a vast landscape: forward-going and fast. Andrew Gillies was a great guide: a raconteur to be sure, but impressively knowledgable and responsible without being boring. Lastly the horses were some of the best I had ridden on trips: supremely fit and in great condition, but with little quirks in their characters that come with herd life. My only criticism is of myself: for not bringing enough warm clothes - it seems you can never have enough (we were advised to bring plenty): the desert can be really, really cold at night. I can't wait to go back: with extra layers.

It was a Great Time for our Family
5/5

We took Kenya wildlife safari for our family vacation few weeks back. As expected, it was really great. Our tour guide ensured to make this a happy family time for us. We went for animal sight-seeing along the banks of Mara River and also took the hot air balloon ride. It was a great time for our family.

Considerating we are an ocean and continent apart our service was withoutany problems and worked out
5/5

Sabi Sabi Little Bush was absolutely delighful, perfect and beyond our expectations. The accomodations were well appointed, comfortable and certainly 5 star. The ranger and guide were polite and knowlegeable beyond our expectations. The food was great and each evening the settings were all different for the four nights that we were there. The staff were polite and accomodating in every respect. If Little Bush wasn't 22 hours of flight time away we would revisit again.

Amazing trip
5/5

We did the 5 day safari with Viva Safari. The first night was Tremisana Game Lodge. This is an good quality for the price. The rooms are basic but complete and clean. As for the staff, they are great !!! Whether guides, drivers or staff of the lodge, all are very friendly. We particularly enjoyed the guides (Rex and ) who made the Bush walk with us, what an experience !!! All the other activities were really great and for a first safari it's perfect.

After that, we stayed at Katekani Tented Lodge. Our stay there was amazing and I recommend this wonderful place without any hesitation.

It is a small camp with 4 bedroom (and 2 other building), very quiet and cozy. The rooms are gorgeous, very well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. You cannot feel that your are sleeping in tents.Elena is an amazing host. She is very dedicated and made sure our stay unforgettable. She is an excellent cook, every meal was a delight. All meals were prepared according to our tastes and preferences. We really enjoyed our trip with Viva safari.
