Outstanding!
5/5

David, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. David and the safari tour surpassed our expectations in every way and we had the experience of a lifetime.

My dream came through thanks to the wonderful team organizing my Safari.
5/5

This Safari has been a dream of mine for quite some time and I am very grateful to have seen it come true. I have visited Manyara, Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti and I have no words to describe the Paradise that was this trip!

The Guide:
David is an amazing person and it was very difficult to say "Good bye" to him. He is polite, considerate, kind and, thanks to his experience, training and education I can now say that I have seen the Big 5!

Accommodation:
Karatu Simba Lodge was great. That is what I call Glamping :). Very friendly staff.
Kisura Tented Camp also nice. The staff was very kind and accommodating from the beginning. The Chef is very, very good.

The Coastal Aviation team, from ground staff to crew, excellent!

Once again, thank you to All!

Fantastic safari, great communication, great people, amazing animals!
5/5

I have been to Africa a number of times and have gone with a few different outfitters, but right away E-Trip stood out to me. Their communication from the beginning was far superior to other companies who didn't really seem to listen to our wishlist, but Aurelie and Ben totally got it. I imagine I was annoying with numerous emails going back and forth, but they did an incredible job and putting something together. Once in Kenya, our guide Simon was fantastic. As a guide myself, I couldn't believe how well he could spot and track animals. All the lodges we stayed at were brilliant and the wildlife viewing across Amboseli, Navaisha, and the Mara was out of this world. We saw so much and got plenty of great photos and videos to bring home. One of the greatest things about Simon is he knew when we wanted to stop or move on without even asking us. He was very in-tune with what we were doing and was so relaxed about our safari schedule. Overall it was a great trip and I will absolutely use E-Trip again when we visit East Africa. A big thank you again to Ben, Aurelie, and Simon for helping put it all together!

Affordable custom safari trip
5/5

We went on a wonderful 16 day safari with eTrip in Kenya.
My husband and I picked eTrip because we could choose exactly what we wanted to do for an affordable price. We changed our minds several times before embarking on the trip as to which parks we wanted to visit and for how long, but Aurelie was extremely patient and took time to answer any questions that we had. We also appreciated the many (with each change!) break down trip cost attachments that she sent.
For each park we wanted to visit a preferred lodge to suit our budget was suggested but we certainly did not need to stay in that lodge if we didn't want to. Most of the time we did stay in their suggested lodges and we were more than happy with their choices.
As our trip was a long one, we were a little worried about spending so much time with one tour guide/driver, especially as we had never done a non-independent trip like this before. We needn't have worried - our driver David was knowledgable, patient and, most importantly, a lot of fun! Not only did we learn a lot about the animals we were seeing but we also learnt a lot about Kenya and its people.
The land cruiser we traveled in was very comfortable and we always felt safe. Overall we had a wonderful experience and can whole-heartedly recommend eTrip.

Professional, maticalous, communicatand went out of their ways to make sure we had a wonderful trip.
5/5

This is definitely one of the best trips we have been on. The trip allowed us to see so many animals and surrounding nature. Pictures we took did not do justice to what we saw - seeing thousands of Wilderbeasts and Zebras migrating across the plains is an amazing and breathtaking sight - In awe, I breathed and took it all in. The tour operators, Aurelia and Ben, were very attentive to our needs, communicated thoroughly, and made sure our trip goes smoothly. They made sure that camps and lodges had special gluten free diet for me (a request I made at the last minute). Our guide is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure that we saw as many animals as we can; he was able to spot the animals well in advanced and positioned us in good spots to see and take photos of the animals. Game drives were amazing; early and late game drives enabled us to see cheetah and lions up close (few feet away) as well as enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Food and accommodations were great. Camp/lodge sites were serene and beautiful, service at the camp was excellent and food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. I was told by my friends that this was not camping but glamping as we slept on comfortable beds, had hot shower and full toiletry inside the tent. I highly recommend this Safari trip in Tanzania fro e Trip for those who want more adventure and seeing more of animal migration.

Great Experience!
5/5

Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Our guide, David was knowledgeable, experienced and attentive and had a great eye for spotting game. He was a walking encyclopedia of birds, animals and plants and we also learned a lot about Tanzania in the process. The communication we received from eTrip before the trip was great and we were very well prepared for our safari. Probably our best vacation ever and we travel a lot.

It's perfection I couldn't plan alone.
5/5

The best part was the tour agent Ben Jennings! He was the most efficient tour agent ever in our travel history. Everything was planned with clear communication and transparency. Ben responded on even the smallest questions with long and detailed explanation. We would definitely recommend to all our friends and followers (facebook and instagram) to go to e-Trip Africa and ask for Ben Jennings.

E-Trip Africa Good, Fantastic Tanzania
4/5

Tanzania was a fantastic place.
The strong sunlight of Zanzibar was also good,
The dynamics of Serengeti were also good.
Thanks to E-trip Africa, who helped me from the initial planning, I was able to go on without any shortage. Thanks again.
It was a great help in choosing an event, choosing a hostel and choosing a safari. The schedule for helping was fantastic too. Although I was suffering from a physical discomfort during the trip, there were some things that did not feel good during the schedule, but overall it was the best trip.
Next time you travel to Africa again, E-trip Africa

Brilliant from first Contact to saying Goodbye
5/5

I can not recommend E-Trip highly enough! I’ve travelled to 68 countries and dealt with a lot of operators - E-Trip were brilliant from my first email interaction. I sent email requests to 22 Safari operators asking for a recommendation 10 day Safari.
It was t my first time to Africa Ron safari and I wanted to see who could meet my needs.
Ben and Aurielle ( Owners) provided a customised itinerary options ad stood out from any other operators I contacted. It was obvious they have visited the various camps they recommend to stay at and promptly answered any Q’s I had.

Once arriving for safari my primary clothing g bag was lost by Airline - Ben firstly lent me clothes and he took over responsibility to get my bag to me 2 days later - The bag loss was t E-trips fault but that’s the kind of service they provide their customers.

David our private guide for the whole 10 days was simply superb - experienced guide with vast knowledge of animals behaviour and was funny and always looking after my daughter and I. His ability to see animals we couldn’t see was amazing and as an avid photographer always managed to position the vehicle for best photo positions.
E-Trips custom Land Cruiser is roomy, New , well maintained and comfortable on what can be rough roads.
The camps and lodges we stayed at were superb and food was always of high quality - as were lunch boxes provided each day.
Finally the fact that E-Trips bank account is in USA gave me piece of mind when making payments for the trip.
I unreservedly recommend the E-Trip team as a brilliant Lifetime experience provider for your safari trip.
