We became like family.
Our E-Trip Africa Safari more than lived up to expectations. Our sleeping quarters were excellent, our drivers were friendly, knowlegable and accommodating, we were fed well and generously, and we saw all the animals we dreamed of!

highly professional, well organised and incredibly fun - we loved it!
From the moment we arrived we knew our experience was going to be great. We were well received and it was great to meet with Ben beforehand - he even met with us at the end of our trip.
Every place we stayed at was of good quality, all had wonderful staff and amazing food. Our guide looked after us so well too.
Everything was so well organised from the time of booking to being dropped at the airport - we cannot fault them at all.
Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience the best national parks of Tanzania.
A well planned and diverse experience touching all aspects of Tanzanian life
The tour was well managed with great drivers who were always friendly and well informed. The itinerary was great, including a wide variety of wildlife in the parks and a very moving experience visiting markets and school in Karatu Village. The only shortcomings were the rather hurried drive through Lake Manyara Park after the stop at the hot springs, and the long drive to and from the Oldapi Gorge for quite a short stay. But these were minor problems and the whole experience was very enjoyable. The accomocations were excellent in all cases as were the vehicles.
Reply from E-Trip Africa
Posted on Mar 6, 2017Hi Roger. I am glad that overall you were quite happy with the trip. I also feel that your itinerary was rushed. We advised the organizers of your trip that they were trying to fit in too much. Of course it is hard to understand the distances to the different sights until you have been here. Hopefully, next time they do take our advice which would have given you more time to enjoy Lake Manyara National Park (one of my favorite parks) and also Oldupai Gorge. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you join us again on your next safari.

Indescribable! Life changing experience.
My wife and I were very impressed by every aspect of the arrangements and execution by E-Trip. There wasn't a moment we would have changed.
Service was very well delivered and appreciated, from our guide David to the camp and lodge staff and the pilots flying us.
The only suggestions we could make, and I'm sure this is different for only a few people, but we really would have liked to spent more time with our guide David outside of the safari truck. Spending time at dinner or at our camp would have been nice. He was a wonderful person and an exceptional guide.

We had a very nice vehicle, careful and knowledgeable driver and quality accomodations.
Our drivers were always ready for us at the beginning of the day. The box lunches were very tasty and kept cold. We always had cold water. We saw lots of animals while on safari.

Tanzanian Safari
We had a very enjoyable four day, three night safari out of Arusha. The company arranged very nice accommodations for each night, and included a trip to Oldupai Gorge, when the Leakeys had done extensive archaeological excavations to try to determine the ancestry of modern Homo Sapiens. Our guides were first rate: personable, professional, knowledgeable, and very accommodating to any small requests any of our group made. With fifteen travellers and three cars, the safari was well managed by our guides. Special thanks to Elyishia (sp?), one of our guides, for his efforts in ensuring the safari was a success.

Amazing Tanzania, January 2017
From our first email exchange with Ben, there was something that stood out about E-Trip Africa. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and professional and we felt very comfortable knowing our trip was in such great hands.
From the accommodations (all very clean and well positioned) to the food, to the game drives - everything was fantastic. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our guide, Elisha. We were amazed at how well he knew all the animals and parks we visited and how incredible he was at spotting even the most hidden animals. He was very personable and definitely was a big part in making the trip so memorable for us.
We cannot say enough great things about E-Trip Africa. We are already talking about our next trip to Africa and we will definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends.
Thank you Elisha, Ben and Aurélie for this trip of a lifetime!

Masai Mara February 2017
We had a great trip to Masai Mara with E-Trip Africa. Planning the trip was a breeze. E-Trip Africa walked us through multiple options in the region, recommended itineraries and lodging, and then put everything together. the planning was a great experience, as we were involved, but got expert advice. Once on safari, everything went smoothly. The guide was great - very professional, patient with us, knowledgeable about the park and local culture, and great with our kids. The recommended lodging was a highlight - great place on the river that really put you out into the bush and was very eco-friendly. Importantly, the vehicle was in great shape and facilitated a very good safari. We have been on many many safaris in Africa and this was definitely one of the best.

Great owners and amazing tour guides! Awesome info to help you go where interests you most.
The safari with E-trip Africa was amazing! The owners (Ben and aurielle) take time to meet with tou before and or after to assure you that all is well. The facilities they book you at are amazing and have awesome staff and chefs! The food was all very well prepared at these places and amazingly tasty! The guides know exactly where to take you to see the most wildlife and they also be sure to take good care of you while you're in a new country. They're very informative. I would recommend this company to anyone!

Had fantastic experience with knowledgeable driver who knew where to take us to see best sites!
We appreciated that both our driver and Ben met us at the airport, and that Ben met with us afterwards to review any questions/concerns. The trip exceeded my expectations ! I can't believe how many animals and beautiful sites we saw. Our driver gave us info not only on the animals, but the plant life and birds, and the peoples of Africa. If I do another safari in the future, I will book it with E-Trip
