Review about Serengeti National Park by Monika
Excellent park just too expensive.
Magnificent Ngorongoro
The view is breathtaking, the scenery is amazing and the animal life is abundant. We also saw a wide array of birds. The tour operators were generally friendly and helpful.

Review about Kenya by Justin Porter
The most amazingly friendly people and beautiful scenery all around.
Review about Tanzania by Monika
Wide array of animal and bird life, and lots of national parks to choose from. Each with it's own unique flavor. The parks are a bit expensive though for someone from Africa.

Memorable safari ... excellent experience!
From the first time i contacted Axis, they immediately replied me and answered all my questions. Pick up from hotel was on time and i had 3 fantastic days in Masai Mara. Richard (driver) was super and tried to do the best for us, even if it seemed too risky! We saw almost all animals there and we got a lot of information about Masai Mara. Thanks for the experience!!!

Excellent one stop shop for Safari and African Tours
We worked with Kerry Ririe a tour consultant at Pembury Tours. She was excellent. When I first contacted her I did not know much about the southern part of Africa. I told her my family wanted to see the animals on a safari and we also wanted to tour South Africa. She was very good at offering suggestions, and listening and responding to our needs. Over time (four to six weeks) our itinerary was set and our accommodations identified. Kerry handled all of the details. This included hotel and tour in Johannesburg, trip to Victoria Falls, 3 different safari camps, Franschhoek accommodations and tours, Cape Town accommodations and tours, and the Rovos Rail from Cape Town to Pretoria. The accommodations were excellent, the tour guides knowledgeable and punctual. All of our communications regarding our trip were done via email. Kerry is able to provide all of the detail you need both through written documents and based on her personal knowledge of the accommodations and the camps. Among the many highlights of our trip, we were able to meet Kerry in person in Maun between flights from a safari camp to Cape Town. It was great to be able to thank her in person for everything she arranged for us during our 3 plus weeks in Africa.

A Dream Trip
Everything was expertly run. We did not have to worry about any of the arrangements as everything went according to plan. All the charter flights were exactly on time, when a flight was scheduled for 9:10 a dot in the sky would appear at 09:00 and land exactly on time! Every staff was professional and helpful. We enjoyed every different place we stayed in. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable and clean. I had dietary challenges and had no trouble getting the food I needed. The guides were all very friendly, helpful and made sure safety was a top priority and yet got us where we needed to be to get the best pictures possible. I have many Good memories and would not change a thing! I definitely would recommend this travel service to anyone wanting and excellent carefree holiday adventure.

100% Great
My husband and I did nine day trip around Kenya which included a little biking and hiking and a lot of safari. Our guide, Silas, was amazing; constantly communicating with other guides to find us the best experiences.
We were able to watch all of the big animals we hoped to see. For most of the various animals we were able to see adults and babies and see them often. The only big animal we only saw one time was a leopard; I felt very satisfied seeing the one leopard because that cat had caught and treed an antelope, wedging the horns and head in the 'V' of a branch.
The accommodations we stayed at were very good. The food was also very good with a significant amount of Indian and Asian influence. The hosts and chefs were willing to accommodate my husband's food preferences.
Our Guide, Silas, was a huge part of making our trip so wonderful. His knowledge of animals, birds, plants, customs, and history, made our adventure so much more meaningful and helped us connect to the country and people. I loved the adventure and the animals, but my favorite things was how Silas brought it all together and made me love the people.
My husband and I exchanged information with a school girl (and her family) who we met as we traveled. The school girl hopes to attend a university in the future, and I hope to be able to support her in that goal. This was not part of our "planned adventure" but it was a personalize highlight made possible because Silas knew of my personal interests.
I am sure Silas and E-Trip Africa will be able to meet any requests you make towards personalizing your adventure. They worked hard to get us what we wanted and made suggestions and answered our questions when we were making our plans.
On a side note, my husband had tried to work with another company that does the same type of tours. After communicating with the other company one time, they did not answer any of our questions: email or phone calls.

Amazing Safari Experience with Easy Travel!
Easy Travel arranged an amazing safari for us!
We contacted Easy Travel a few months before the safari and asked for information / pricing for a private safari for our small family (mom, dad, four-year old daughter). The communication in the booking process was great. Norah from Easy Travel suggested an itinerary based on our needs. We had quick feedback on questions and received information about traveling on a Safari that helped us prepare. Norah also followed us up during the Safari to ensure that everything was OK. There was also a debrief after the safari with Norah that enabled us to give feedback. This is a professional company that knows how to operate a business.
We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro crater during our safari. We visited Mto wa Mbu village for cultural activity and that was quite good.
We could not have been happier with our guide (Everest). He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He drove on roads / parts of Serengeti that was less crowded and it made the experience feel wild. He is also an extremely good animal spotter.
The camps/lodges were great. Our favorite was the Serengeti Tortilis Camp. This camp is in the middle of Serengeti. I have never been in a hotel/lodge/hotel with more friendly staff. Quite special to stay in the middle of Serengeti with all the wild-life around the camp.
Easy Travel has a new car park that is serviced and maintained. We did see a few cars that was broken down during the safari. You should make sure to check this with your potential safari provider.
Tip; visit the snake park – we had a great guide and it was quite interesting. They also have a Masai museum. We felt the Masai museum and our guide gave more correct/interesting information than we had at a Masai village visit. This was also a lot cheaper than the Masai village visit.

The most incredible trip we've EVER been on!!
I was so incredibly fortunate to find Kay Adventure Tours on safaribookings.com and let me tell you, our trip to Africa was one of the best we’ve ever had! We went on a trip to Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda and everything single transfer, driver, transition was so incredibly smooth. We even saw the Big 5 all in one day! And the gorilla trekking was absolutely amazing! Moureen was an absolute pleasure to work with and she always made sure to keep in contact with us periodically during our trip so we never felt like we didn’t know the plan. We can’t thank you enough, Kay Adventure Tours for making our dream honeymoon a reality!
