An extraordinary experience
For our one year anniversary, we were thinking about potential trips we could take from the States. We had settled on South Africa, when one of our well-traveled friends suggested that we consider Namibia. We Google Image-d it; as soon as we saw pictures of Deadvlei, we knew we had to go there.
We went during the "rainy" season (I put it in quotes because the area has been experiencing a multiyear drought; most of the riverbeds we saw were dry). This is the low point for tourism, which worked to our advantage; during high season, the dunes are apparently crawling with tourists.
The gvt does an exception job maintaining the park - they are clearly well-prepared for tourists. We went on a guided tour from our lodge. The park is enormous - we went at daybreak, and spent a few hours driving straight into the park. We stopped at one of the massive dunes and took 45 minutes to climb up and down it. You must try it - that experience was so fun! Dune sand is unlike any sand you're used to - it's not coarse at all, it's like silk. I highly recommend bringing a waterproof container with you and taking some sand with you, you'll want to bring some home with you. (Also, go up the dunes barefoot in the morning when the sand is cool, and run down them - it's a lot of fun!).
The Deadvlei was breathtaking - just as spectacular in person, a photographer's dream. And much bigger than one expects from photos!
Overall, visually stunning, and a unique experience. So glad we chose Namibia!

Review about Namibia by Anant
Etosha National Park is fantastic - we spent 13 hours driving ourselves through the park from sunrise to sundown, saw all kinds of amazing animals, at a total price of roughly $10 US.

Awesome Safari Company
From the trip inquiry to our final departure, we felt completely taken care of at every step. I sent a lot of inquires out for our Ugandan Safari and E-Trip gave the most responsive and clearest quote of their different packages. They were extremely responsive to my questions and requested changes. This level of service carried over to our safari. We met our guide who was very attentive in double checking everything along the way to insure we had no issues during our trip. The safari by exceeded all our expectations. I would definitely use E-Trip again in the future.

Great and reliable safari company
We did a 6 days Kenya tour with African Sermon Safaris visiting the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and finally Amboseli. Of the three locations visited, Masai Mara is by far the best game viewing park to see large variety of different animals, scenery and vegetation. The alkaline lake at Nakuru is great for viewing the rhinos while Amboseli to see large herds of elephants with sunset over Kilimanjaro adjoining Kenya.
We had Steve as our guide. He was brilliant, safe driver, very knowledgeable about the animals, patient with us and with a sense of humor. We ended up being luck to have seen all the big five and much more.

Just Awesome
Well, what am I supposed to say?
I did spend three days with Jewel of Africa Safaris and it was astonishing!! Neal was not only well mannered but also funny, entertaining and brought a cornucopia of knowledge. I would recommend this company to everybody i know and love and even to people I do not like because it would be just cruel to take the chance of an experience like this from them. It is an absolutely must do when you are down in South Africa!

Nairobi National Park Safari
I recently enlisted the services of African Sunset Safaris to do a safari of the Nairobi National Park with two colleagues during a recent business trip to Kenya.
Haroon, our driver was an excellent tour guide. He arrived promptly at our hotel and got us to the National Park with ample time. He arranged our tickets and entrance to the park - it was a very hassle free experience. His knowledge of Nairobi National Park and the animals within it was extensive and he knew exactly where to go to have the biggest chance of seeing a variety of animals. We saw 8 lions, 3 rhinos (including a baby!), 2 hippos and a multitude of zebra, giraffes, buffalo, ostriches...the list goes on!
Although we had only arranged to go the National Park, Haroon kindly offered to take us to nearby Mamba Village where we saw a number of crocodiles (including getting to hold a 5-year old crocodile!), tortoises and ostriches.
Overall it was a fantastic day out and I cannot thank Haroon and African Sunset Safaris enough! Highly recommended!

Great Experience
I travelled with Easy Travel for 9 days visiting the northern National Parks of Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Ndutu, Serengeti and Arusha NP).
Most group members were photographers and the trip was perfect for us since we were taken to see lots of the wildlife animals and birds in the region, allowing us close access and unlimited time.
The drivers were all very knowledgeable, friendly and were very flexible to our (sometimes weird) requests. I was in Emmanuel's car and he became more than just our driver and guide, he's now part of our family.
The safari cars were in a very good condition and well equipped with a refrigerator full with cold bottles of water, chargers for phones and WiFi internet (although there are regions where there is no signal receptions).
I strongly recommend using the services of Easy Travel. And if you do that, ask to have Emmanuel as your driver and guide. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
