Informative, fun, and full of animal facts and jokes!
I had absolutely the best time. I loved our driver, who was full of information but also super funny and made sure we all had a good time. I loved learning about the park, and seeing so many wild animals was just incredible. Highly recommend this company. I was very happy with my experience.

Perfectly organised safari tour - highly recommended!
We just finished our safari trip with Easy Travel and our guide Habad to Ndutu and Serengeti Nationalpark (3 nights in total) and we really enjoyed the trip! We felt in very good hands from the planning to the trip itself - we chose Easy Travel because of Hellen‘s support and extensive responses to all our questions. She did her best accommodating all our needs. During the trip she even called to check in with us if everything was alright.
Habad was the perfect guide - he was very friendly, you could have nice conversations with him (also on Tanzania in general), but he also gave us space for our privacy. He has extensive experience as a guide and was ready to answer all our questions. Due to his good eye for spotting animals, we managed to see all big fives and all animals that we would like to see (even though it was low season in Serengeti). We can definitely recommend going to Ndutu for the great migration which Hellen recommended us to do. The accommodations they’ve chosen for our stay were also great regarding rooms and service. We definitely recommend Easy Travel with all our friends who would like to visit Tanzania.

It was enjoyable and I had good experience
I booked this safari last minute. And as this was my first safari, I felt I wasn’t sure I knew what I was doing. Ephie was amazing from start to finish. He answered all my questions right away.
The Safari was exceptional, it was so much better than I had expected. The accommodations and food were top notch.
Our driver & guide Joe was phenomenal. He was very helpful and informative. He seemed to know exactly where to go to see the wildlife. And he was very professional.
It was so satisfying to end the safari feeling it was so much better than I had expected. I highly recommend Magwar Escapades.

Great service.
We did a short four-day trip from Nairobi spending one day at Ol Pejeta, one day at Lake Naivasha and Mont Longonot, and finalizing with a two day in Masai Mara. The jeep was very comfortable and Antonio is a great driver. In contrast with some other drivers, he has always tried to respect the space with the animals which we appreciate.
We completely recommend.

Felt that driver interfered with wild life in a dangerous manner and was rude to other vehicles
Driver repeatedly used his vehicle to cut off male lion's intended direction. He probably was trying to give his customers a good photo opportunity; however, it was a bit dangerous and also selfish.

True upholders of the “Tanzania Unforgettable” theme.
Although I just came from a neighboring country of Tanzania，I had never been to Tanzania before and I was wondering about the convenience of my trip here due to the fact that I’m from a French speaking country.
But to my surprise the Safari was smooth and the communication was efficient. The company showed high level of reliability in all aspects and throughout the itenary.

Nice, responsible, and easy to communicate.
“I am sure this will not be just a tour but a lifetime experience of Africa.” — Dennis, Kibena’s tour operator.
He was absolutely right. We totally enjoyed the tour a ton. The itinerary was well planned starting from the first airport pickup. Our group arrived in Kilimanjaro separately in two days. I appreciated that Dennis and his crew came to the airport twice to pick up all of us.
The tour started from the Tarangire National Park, where we encountered a couple of resting lions, a group of elephant, and some giraffes. In addition, a double rainbow in the late afternoon. It was a good taste of African wildlife on the first day of the trip.
The tour then continued with Lake Manyara National Park, which had the large lake on one side and rain forest on the other side. We didn’t encounter any predators and large animals here, but just some monkeys on our way out of the park.
The third day at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, especially the Crater, was the first highlight of the trip. There were abundant of zebras, wildebeest, buffalos, flamingos, and many more. More importantly, two rhinos! Although they were super far from us, it was somehow lucky to see the rarest of the Big Five.
The excitement continued to the next 3 days, where happened in Ndutu, Southern Serengeti. It was common to see lions, cheetahs, and leopards, just to name a few. The coolest moment was to see 9 lions approaching us altogether. Some went resting on the tree, while the others were under.
A relatively unfortunate days were the 2 nights we spent in Central Serengeti. This year rained differently than usual. The grass here grew much longer and it consequently made the game drive much harder. It was difficult to spot the predators when there were lying down in the bush and grass.
The trip ended with a surprising moment to us. Now please allow me to give the biggest applause to our tour guide, Raymond (Ray). This trip wouldn’t be perfect without him. Ray was an extremely friendly, knowledgeable, responsible guide, and at the same time, a skillful and considerate driver. The main purpose of this tour was to see wildebeest migration. However, we couldn’t encounter the head of wildebeests throughout the first 7 days because of the unusual rain and weather. In the last couple of days, Ray kept asking all other tour guides to obtain the weather information of the Southern Serengeti. Based on his 17 years of experience, he predicted the location where the wildebeests would be. On the very last day of the trip, he brought us back to Southern Serengeti and seek for the head of wildebeests. We made it! Massive zebras and wildebeests covered the plain. They spread out all the way to the horizon. Ray spent extra hours to let us see what we came to Tanzania for. We truly appreciated him being such responsible to the clients.
Speaking of experience, Ray also re-arranged the order of the parks to make sure we had enough time to enjoy Serengeti. Each game drive he drove around the territory and successfully found the animals we would like to see. Furthermore, Ray was so knowledgeable that he kept providing animal/parks/ecology/cultural information and answering numerous questions from each of us.
On the last day in Arusha, Ray kindly drove us around the town and kept us company before heading to airport in the late afternoon.
At the end, we highly recommend Dennis and Kibena. He has arranged nice accommodations and trip plans. Raymond deserves 100 stars if I were to rate him.

Highly Recommend
5++++ I found out about this business from another person who spoke highly of them. Boy, was she right. This outfit was outstanding from the first text to the end of the tour. Florence was a delight to work with answering many questions and assisting with situations that were over, above and beyond the call of duty. She was simply amazing. The tour itself, 8 days, with highlights of Safaris, Silverback Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys was everything I expected and more. Our guide for the 8 days was professional, knowledgeable and great company. He was only 'the best' and we were fortunate to have had him.
Thank you to all staff at Katella Uganda Safaris. My trip was unbelievable and all because of you. I highly recommend this business to anyone interested in an exciting adventure.
