Perfect safari - expert guide, excellent service, great accommodations
Our conclusion is that you can completely trust your Tanzanian safari adventure to Kilele Savane. Frank suggested an itinerary and then worked closely with us to tweak it to our specifications, and it was indeed fabulous. Each of our accommodations was unique - be sure to stay in at least one tented lodge for the experience. We also stayed at Boundary Hill Lodge which is up a difficult mountain road and worth it! We had a great view from our luxurious room across miles of the Tarangire and the dinners were extraordinary - outside dining by the patio fireplace. Our guide David was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and flora; with his eagle eyes he could point out many animals that we would otherwise have missed, and he ensured that everyday was chock full of exciting discovery. He's also an excellent driver on roads that were often just rough tracks. David and Frank were always looking out for us, making sure all was going well and to our liking. We couldn't imagine using any other Tanzanian tour operator - so knowledgeable, professional and organized - and highly recommend Kilele Savane.

Memories to last a lifetime!
Amidst our crazy schedules, overcoming our post-vacation blues and the procrastination, this review has been a long time coming. We felt that we owe this to Easy Travels and Tours for what was the most extraordinary trip of our lives!
We undertook a private 7-day Tanzania Classic safari with ETT in the last week of November. The planning for the same started a couple of months prior to the travel dates. We had heard about the Serengeti, the Masai, the wildebeest migration and the grandeur of African wildlife but that would probably sum up the entire knowledge we had about the adventure that we were going to embark on. After several crude google searches, getting in touch with a few tour operators and obtaining quotes from them, we chanced upon ETT. They were the top-rated tour operator on TripAdvisor with close to 700 reviews rating them 5-stars and very rightly so!
Our initial interactions via email, were with Wilbert. Right from the beginning, we got a sense of being in the right hands. He chalked out a rough itinerary for us based on the duration that we were interested in. We went back and forth a few times and Wilbert was very prompt and courteous in replying to our emails and addressing our concerns. He was also very kind to take a note of our photographic needs and arrange for a bean bag for our camera.
On arrival at Arusha, we were warmly received by our guide and driver Adrian who promised us that it would be trip unlike any other! Just before we headed out to the National Parks, we had the pleasure of meeting Wilbert in person, for a quick safari briefing. He constantly kept in touch with us during the entire trip to make sure we were being taken care of well. After having read dozens of reviews while planning for this trip, we also insisted on meeting Musaddiq, the Director of ETT. His passion for the company was really evident in the short conversation that we had.
Adrian, who eventually became our good friend, was extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, natural history, culture and life in Tanzania. He was enthusiastic and spirited, ensuring that we had the best sighting in each of the national parks we visited. We were lucky to sight Africa’s Big Five, thanks to him! He had an amazing intuitive sense of animal behavior and how to locate them. His eye for spotting wildlife and identifying bird species was impeccable! Adrian’s long standing experience in the African Savannah made us feel that we were in safe hands when we were right in the middle of a herd of elephants in Tarangire National Park! He craftily navigated through slush and dirt tracks in the Serengeti and was adequately equipped to get our vehicle out when one of the tires got stuck in them. We have a deep sense of gratitude for Adrian, our experience would not have been half as wonderful, if not for him!!
Our stay at the Serena lodges was top-class in terms of hospitality, quality of the rooms, and buffet dining experience. We had requested for vegetarian meals and met with the chefs at most of the lodges and they were all kind enough to accommodate our dietary needs. The boxed lunches for our safari day was not something that we would write home about, but had a lot of snackables that kept us more than full.
We are now reliving our time in Tanzania through the hundreds of stunning photographs of wildlife and landscapes taken during the tour. We highly recommend Easy Travels and Tours to all adventure enthusiasts!

Amazing!
Finished a 24 day tour/safari with earth life expeditions about two weeks ago. Deo was amazing from the start when we were first looking into everything. He tailor made an itinerary for us and included everything we wanted to an exceptional level. All the accomodation we stayed in was so luxurious we couldnt believe it. We had five days in Zanzibar and then the rest in mainland Tanzania, including the Serengeti, the ngorogoro crater and Ndutu national park. All of these locations were amazing and Aggrey our guide was so in tune with the surroundings and could easily spot animals far away that we had no idea were there. He is a credit to the earth life expeditions team. A small but trustworthy and quality company to book through!

Amazing Safari and Tanzanian Adventure!
Cape Dog Safari provides a very personal unique experience! Michael goes above and beyond to ensure that he meets the needs of his clients for the ultimate adventure. His knowledge of the wildlife, culture, and people made our trip to Ngorongoro a bucket list check mark complete. He encourages his clients to enjoy the splendor of the environment and beauty of crater without rushing thru the experience. We watched a pack of elephants saunter across the crater and passed within feet our jeep! Baby zebra, hyenas chasing water buffalo, wildebeest, rhino's and much more! Michaels personally worked to reschedule our trip and accommodate flight delays. It was truly a pleasure to work with him. Can't wait for our next time in Tanzania!
