Trip of a lifetime
We just finished an amazing trip to Tanzania with African Scenic Safari. Our group of 11 went on a 10 day safari through Tarangire National Park, Nngorongoro Crator and the Serengeti National Park. The trip was planned perfectly and Amanda was amazing organising both our trips, replying quickly.
My friend and I went on to hike a 7 day Kilimanjaro trek. Amanda helped in settling all our nerves, our hire equipment worked well and our guides and crew were awesome throughout the trek. Amanda recommended the 7 day trek as it gave us a great chance of reaching summit. I would recommend this trek as the every day hiking was an amazing experience in itself.
Thank you to our wonderful team and Amanda, we had a trip of a lifetime.

Fantastic Safari with Excellent Guide
This was my first Safari and although not quite sure what to expect, my expectations were quite high. And in no way was I disappointed!!! Not only have we been particularly lucky with fantastic weather, our guide, Mussa, was simply outstanding. His knowledge of wildlife and the are is tremendous and his attitude towards nature admirable.
I only did a 3 days (2 nights Safari) and will definitely return for a longer stay and definitely go with Mussa again. With his over 10 years of experience, he is very well organised and you can trust him with everything.
Already looking forward to my next tour!

Flexible and professional
- Really easy to communicate prior the trip (WhatsApp, e-mail etc)
- Great and professional safari guides - and the best addition is that they also have common dinner with you in the evenings and chat about Tanzania, history, politics, nature etc.
- Normal price compared to other safari providers
- Tasty food
- Good cars
- Flexible - if you decide during the trip that you'd like to extend the safari for more days, all is possible

Excellent and memorable Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari
My husband, parents, and I spent 6 days on safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had a fantastic time! Communications from Dancing Zebra was excellent prior to the trip. Both Jessica and Abdullie provided great advice and insights in planning and were also very accommodating for some last minute changes in our flight and pick-up itinerary. We loved the extra special touches from both Dancing Zebra (customized printed itinerary book, safari luggage tags) and their in-country partner Asilia (fancy metal water bottles, safari books for tracking animals, airport lounge access). Our guide (Alfred from Asilia) was amazing and our lodging (Dunia Camp in Serengeti, Gibbs Farm near Ngorongoro) was also fantastic. Our guide was professional, knowledgable, flexible, and friendly. We had so many wonderful memorable moments from seeing huge herd of migrating zebra and wildebeest to shared picnic meals in the parks with excellent food and beautiful views of nature. We LOVED staying at Dunia Camp- specifically sharing communal dining, campfire stories, singing, and dancing with the ladies on staff there. Gibbs Farm was a beautiful tropical garden / farm paradise that was a great place to relax after being on safari and spending a long day driving from Serengeti. Food at both places was delicious by all standards (not just 'safari-good') and the boxed breakfasts and lunches were all delightful as well. We would definitely recommend Dancing Zebra to other travelers.

Easy communication, well organized, excellent/well informed guides, loved it!
Working with Ben and Aurelie was great. They helped me devise over 10 itineraries before selecting the perfect one. They were honest with reviews of different parks, lodges, timing, and activities and helped to create a safari that was tailored to our needs and budget. I really appreciated their input - you can tell that they have actually gone and visited the parks, stayed in or toured the lodges/tents, and know what they're talking about.
Our guide, Alladin, was phenomenal!! He was fun and knowledgeable. He also was generous with his opinions and knowledge - which allowed us to see as much as we could during our relatively short trip. I learned so much more about the individual animals and entire ecosystem than I thought I would have.
I would highly recommend E-Trip Africa to anyone looking to book a customized mid-upper range budget safari!!

AFRICAN SAFARI - A MUST DO BUCKET LIST ITEM
My wife and I engaged Encompass Africa to arrange our African safari and we were so impressed with the great service, knowledge and expertise that they provided - what a great professional outfit. We were immediately more than happy with the great customer service, quick and accurate information as well as quote on cost of our proposed South African Safari / Holiday. Whenever we had the need to make some minor fine tuning to our trip, it was always handled quickly, accurately and with a great friendly attitude. Now that my wife and I have returned from our trip, we can only say that it very much exceeded our expectations.
The safari tour was unbeleivable both in what we were able to see and the fact that our tour guide was first class. We were so happy with Simon Manyotto - (our tour guide) and we would have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone. He was fantastic, knowledgable, a mechanic and very good photographer.
We would also have no hesitation in recommending Encompass Africa to our family and friends. We felt total confidence in their abilities in arranging our holiday from start to finish.

Inspiring and epic journey with a motivational guide that will get you to the top.
Samson Lauwo is a remarkable guide that fulfilled my dream to summit Mount Kilimanjaro--Tanzania, Africa. His grandfather Yohani Kinyala Lauwo was one of the first to climb to the top of this majestic mountain.
Samson’s Company information is Kilimanjaro Bound Ltd www.Kilimanjarobound.com.
When I reached Tanzania, Samson provided all the gears for the trek because he wanted to make sure I was safe and prepared. As well as, communicated effectively what I needed for this challenging but exciting opportunity. He listened to my concerns keenly, and responded in a way that kept me calm and encouraged. I realized in that moment that he was passionate about what he does, and he was also a skillful motivational speaker. After the talk he made me feels so inspired and ready for this spectacular journey. He asks me what route would I like to take and I mentioned,” The Machame Route” also known as the scenic route and it should take 6 days.
During the trail up the lava tower I felt the effects of altitude sickness:
(1) Headache
(2) Nausea
(3) Dizziness
(4) lightheadedness
(5) Weakness
(6) fatigue
(7) Difficulty sleeping
(8) Loss of appetite
Samson kept saying just walk slowly and takes deep breaths and drink water. He reassured me that it was normal to experience altitude sickness, and explained his strategy in walking up; but coming down to the campsite to help me to acclimate to the altitude. Eventually, we arrived at Stella point (SP) 5,756 meters where we revitalized. Finally, Samson said are you ready, and it was almost sunrise. As we walked up we were met by sunrise and the views all around was spectacular. Samson took my camera and took amazing pictures of me to capture this moment. We were able to get a picture together next to the sign that says, “Congratulation you are now at Uhuru Peak Tanzania 5,895 meters; Africa highest point…World’s highest free-standing mountain.” Also, once we got to Kilimanjaro National Park office I received a certificate stating, ”Ian Sterling has successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro the Highest in Africa to Uhuru Peak 5,895 m.” We reached the top at 6:20 am and it was clear with sunrise overlooking the clouds.
Samson Lauwo an excellent guide helped me to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. His grandfather Yohani Kinyala Lauwo was one of the first to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Samson and his staff have helped many people to summit to the top of this great Volcano. He was recommended to me by two friends that he helped to summit to the top of Kilimanjaro. They spoke very highly of Samson and his staff. These two friends are well traveled and are very knowledgeable about the best guides in the business. I was convinced and book my hiking expedition with Samson. When I spoke to Samson, he made me feel very comfortable and I felt very confident that he would get me to the top. He booked my accommodation and made sure I had transportation. He made sure that I knew where to go and what restaurant was safe. He provided the gear for the tour and made sure that I had everything I need before the climb. He explains the precautions about the climb. On the first day, he mentioned the key to reach the top was to walk slowly because of altitude sickness. Samson was very patience and made sure he took pictures at the right spots and stop to show me the great views. Finally, we arrived at the top and it was a clear day and a beautiful morning. Samson again made sure he took many pictures has I was enjoying the beautiful vistas. He really made the journey amazing and I highly recommend Samson and his staff to anyone that wants to get to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
