An amazing safari with amazing guides
Easy Travel made our trip to Tanzania unforgettable. They were amazing from beginning to end.
Masuma help us plan the perfect trip according to our interests and made magic in updating our reservations after a major schedule change from Air France.
But mostly it was our guides that mad the difference. Hussein, Zamir and Maela could answer all our questions and were exceptional at sharing their culture.
Thanks to Hussein we had game drives leading to encounter the Big Five, and so much more! We will never forget you les mecs!

Trip of a lifetime 5 stars!
Easy Travel created an amazing custom trip for our family to visit Zanzibar and then do a safari at Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. We had the trip of a lifetime! The planning process working with the Easy travel office was so easy and flexible. Then when it came time for our trip every step happened smoothly and as planned.
The whole safari was a huge highlight for our whole group. Our expert guide and driver Adrian meet us at the airstrip. From then on he took care of everything and made sure we had a great trip. On the drive from the airstrip to our lodge we had already seen elephants, lions, giraffes, and impala! The game drives at Serengeti were beyond any of our expectations. Adrian took us through the varied landscapes of the park to see all the possible wildlife. He knew which areas to visit at which times and had amazing spotting skills. He was super knowledgeable about everything from the wildlife to the landscapes to the history of the park and Tanzania. We had so many close encounters with the above animals and even more. Leopards, hippos, zebra, thousands and thousands of wildebeest, we got to see it all! Ask for Adrian to ensure you have a great time! We had our senior parents with us so it was important that everything was comfortable and safe. We couldn't be more happy with how the trip went!
The accommodations arranged by Easy Travel were another highlight. After a long day of game drives, a nice lodge is important. We stayed at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and Ngorongoro Lodge member of Meliá Collection. Both had awesome views and exceptional service. We were particularly blown away by the views of the crater from Ngorongoro Lodge. We also enjoyed the heated infinity pool and spa there very much.
We loved everything about our trip and will remember it all very fondly for the rest of our lives!

Just Wow!! Aniny the Best Guide!!
From November to January, I was doing my research on the best safari and chose Easy Travel because Masuma was so helpful for answering my million questions and they had stellar reviews.
We booked in February for a May safari and a detailed literary was provided and a step by step guide to prepare us - all was so helpful.
On arrival, the driver Dixon picked us up at the airport and took us to Arusha - perfect transfer.
Our guide, Aniny met us at the hotel the next morning exactly on time. Off we went to a briefing and then the adventure started!
We could have not gotten a better guide - Aniny was always on the lookout for animals - and could see them in the distance or in trees or laying in grass - it was just amazing - he saw things with the naked eye that I could only see with binoculars. He knew so much about the animals and the birds and the fauna. We saw all the big 5 and basically every animal imaginable - with all credit going to him. He went above and beyond to make sure we got every animal including a leopard and male lion.
He was always on time for very early morning wake ups and gave us the perfect safari.
On a more serious note, he is a great actual driver of the land cruiser. The terrain and roads are rough and we always felt safe. We saw a horrific accident because of limited visibility and likely speeding and it put our minds at ease that Aniny was at the wheel cause he is such a good driver and not risk taker.
More important than seeing these wonderful animals is coming home safe!
Thank you Aniny and Masuma for the wonderful experience. We have been all over the world and to over 40 countries and this is easily the best thing we ever did!

Our trip to Tanzania was truly unforgettable. The travel agency organized everything perfectly, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. A special thanks to our guide, Mr. Goodluck, who was incredibly experienced and patient. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to capture many amazing and rare photos that we will treasure forever.

Our trip to the Serengeti was absolutely unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Mr. Goodluck. He was incredibly dedicated, passionate, and went above and beyond to make sure every part of our journey was perfect. No matter how early or late, he tirelessly drove us across the vast savannah in search of wildlife, always with a smile and endless patience.
Mr. Goodluck was not only knowledgeable, but also very attentive to our needs. He made sure to fulfill all of our wishes—whether it was catching a glimpse of the Big Five or finding the perfect sunset view. His attention to detail and calm, friendly manner made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the food during the safari. The meals were well-prepared and suited our tastes nicely, which added another layer of comfort to the adventure.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Serengeti is truly magical, and with a guide like Mr. Goodluck, it became a once-in-a-lifetime journey we will never forget. Highly recommended!

I feel extremely fortunate to have chosen East Travel in Tanzania. Throughout the entire trip, every day spent with Mr. GoodLuck was filled with joy and excitement. He is incredibly kind, patient, and deeply knowledge of wild animals. Unforgettable moment was on the third day, when we spent five hours tracking leopard. Mr. Good Luck repeatedly adjusted his car position to find nice lighting spots, ensuring we could capture stunning photos . He’s so thoughtful caring about each of us, striving to ensure no remarkable moment was missed. I have attached one of the leopard photos, which I believe is the finest among them.

Trip of a Lifetime with an amazing, knowledgeable guide and the entire Easy Travel Team
I started planning this trip five years ago, but had to postpone due to Covid. Easy Travel was my choice back then and it was my choice this time around. They did not disappoint. They customized the tour to accommodate my requests which was so great and made for a stress free trip. All of my many, many questions and concerns were answered promptly. When I forgot my camera battery charger at my previous hotel, I contacted Easy Travel right away. They were able to locate one for me to purchase on my arrival. This was a lifesaver! I can’t imagine starting my once in a lifetime safari without a camera battery charger. There was a hiccup due to miscommunication on airport pick up, but other than that the entire trip was perfect. The welcome greeting at the office was heartwarming, and I already felt like part of the family - they even had a cake to celebrate my birthday and many of the staff greeted me with songs. They arranged for me to stay at the Tortilis Camps throughout the trip. The beds were so comfortable and I had a flush toilet and hot water showers in the middle of the bush! What more could you ask for? In my opinion, your Guide can make or break your Safari. After reading many reviews on TripAdvisor, I requested Abisai as my guide and there aren’t enough words to explain to you how wonderful he was. First of all, I always felt very safe being a solo female traveler, and I was quickly at ease with his open and friendly personality. He made sure to ask, listen and understand what I hoped to take away from the Safari. He is so knowledgeable about all aspects of the three different parks that we went to. He knew so many facts about all of the birds, the wildlife, the area, the history. He was like a walking encyclopedia! He made everything so interesting, He didn’t just recite the facts and had stories to go along with the facts. Even more importantly, he could spot animals from huge distances when they were practically hidden from the human eye, all while he was driving! There were times when he saw something, and even when he was telling me where to look, I couldn’t see it, such as the tree climbing leopard, which blended in so well with the tree branches that it took some time for me to finally find it. He was very patient giving me exact directions on where to look until WOW there it was! I said "I can’t believe you saw that" multiple times every day of the trip. He knew where to go, where the animals usually hang out and I saw more things than I had ever hoped to. There are no guarantees in nature, and I was very fortunate with the help of Abisai. He always made sure I had the perfect angle for taking photos and was conscious of what lighting would be best. He never made me feel rushed at a stop and if I wanted to watch the elephants play in the mud for 45 minutes he was more than happy to allow me that peaceful time to commune with nature. We were never rushing from one spot to the next as had been my experience in a previous safari. It was always very calm, although I'm not going to lie - the roads are very bumpy and dusty - the African massage! Abisai made sure the safari 4 x 4 was spotless every morning and his driving was impeccable. After going through some rain while leaving the Serengeti the muddy roads became slick and very slippery and he got us through that with no trouble, even having to dig us out once when we became stuck. I have so many wonderful memories of this trip thanks to Easy Travel and a special thanks to Abisai. His passion and love of the animals and country were very much in sync with my outlook as well. To summarize - 1. Easy Travel always replied to my many questions right away and I never felt like any question was too much 2. The service was fantastic as indicated by how safe I felt travelling alone, how quick they always responded, how helpful in making my plans and the great guide 3. Safaris aren't cheap but I felt like I totally received value for the money 4. Very reliable 5. This tour was the most authentic and life changing trip I've ever taken. If coming to Tanzania don’t hesitate to choose Easy Travel and request Abisai as your guide if you want someone with lots of knowledge, experience, great eyesight and a love of nature!! I hated to say farewell! Words can’t explain how amazing this trip was!!

Surprise! Surprise! and Surprise!
We were very lucky to be led by Simon, an extremely professional, friendly and enthusiastic tour guide, in the long-awaited Serengeti Park and Ngrongro Conservation Area in Tanzania. We were able to appreciate leopards and cheetahs up close on the first day. Although the leopards were lying in the trees, they had recently killed three cheetah babies, which gave us a deeper understanding of the law of the jungle in the wild.
Simon's professionalism is also reflected in not urging tourists, and he will tell us the correct information to let us judge whether to wait: when we found a male lion and a female lion on the roadside, Simon immediately said that they were in the breeding period and would still mate after resting. We waited for two hours and witnessed the origin of life at 50 meters! Thank you Simon for letting us know that waiting is worth it! In particular, we saw a lion baby alone on the rock. It was only a few months old. The lion mother went out hunting. Simon told us that it was rare to see a lion baby alone.
On the first day in Serengeti National Park, we found 4 of the Big 5, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and elephants. The story of the interdependence of zebras and wildebeests also moved us. Even without the scenes of a large number of wildebeests crossing the river, the great migration did continue to happen. On the second day, we also saw a 15-kilometer-long great migration team.
The second day was a day of good things in pairs. Leopards and cheetahs brought their children (we saw babies of all animals, including hippopotamus), and lions mating for the second time!
As Simon said: Every day, we have to see what Mother Earth wants us to see, and enjoy the whole journey with great gratitude and awe for the earth.
In addition to the Big 5, the Ugly 5 were completed on the second day, and there were also a collection of 10 sleeping positions of lioness on the tree, a special feature of male lions washing their faces, and videos of lioness climbing trees and leopards shuttling between trees, plus funny zebras rolling, zebras rubbing their heads on stones, seven hyenas having a group meal (vultures were waiting nearby), lion mating videos, and hippos quarreling. It was a live version of the Animal Channel! All of this is thanks to Simon, who allowed us to encounter these events at the best time. To be honest, only the hippopotamus had a home (all tour guides knew where the hippopotamus pool was), and the other animals were random. The Internet said that leopards were hard to see, but we were able to meet them twice, and all animals were met more than twice! The last day in Ngorongoro allowed us to experience the peaceful and tranquil animal world. It was also the only day we didn’t see lions. The dancing flamingos by the lake interweaved a bright and dynamic new world! For African travel in Tanzania, I highly recommend easy travel, and I especially recommend the tour guide Simon. Without Simon, I believe this trip would not be so complete and touching!

An unbelievable experience
We hoped it would be an unforgettable experience; however it turned out to be an unbelievable trip. We wished for a good driver guide, Easy Travel sent us a magician, of course, a super professional driver guide, Simon. Every night after dinner, Simon, our driver guide asked us “What do you expect to see tomorrow?” And the next day, our wishes fulfilled. Before going to Ngorongoro, Simon has already found us the Big 4 and Ugly 5. When we thought all our dreams have come true, Simon asked again “What do you expect to see tomorrow?” We became a bit too greedy and asked to see cheetah and leopard AGAIN. Next day not only cheetah and leopard ,but a juvenile cheetah, a baby leopard with their mothers. Now you see Simon is definitely a magician. After Ngorongoro, with no doubt, we collected all the Big5, of course, black rhinos TWICE. Beyond that, Simon is so knowledgeable, passionate and patient. He gave us the confidence to wait for “ACTIONS”. While everyone took their pictures and left, Simon told us “something is going to happen”. We trusted him so much and waited patiently. Our wait is more than worthy. We witnessed lions mating in ACTION twice. There were too many unforgettable and unbelievable moments to share. Maybe the best way is for YOU to come and visit Serengeti in person. If you are planning a safari trip, we suggest you ask for not only a professional driver guide, but also a magician at the same time. And the very driver guide you need is Simon. Finally, thanks to Mohamed with Easy Travel. He always kept us updated, helped us with the e-visa and organized everything well. We highly recommend Easy Travel and the magician driver guide, Simon.
Amazing safari trip with Easy Travel!
We had an amazing safari tour with Easy Travel through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti.
We were able to see many elusive animals all thanks to the experience and persistence of our driver, Adrian.
It was an unforgettable experience, I can’t recommend them enough!
