Excellent itinerary to provide an incredible experience
When I started to plan our trip to Kenya, I quickly realized that I was out of my depth. So many options, so hard to decide where to stay (it is not the amenities, but where the lodges are located which we now know can provide a completely different experience). A friend of mine recommended East Africa Wild Adventures and from our first phone call I realized that Alym listened and wanted to know what type of trip we were looking for to tailor the experience to our tastes.
The interactions were excellent and he quickly put an itinerary together that was fabulous in paper and really awesome when we actually did it! Absolutely mind blowing! We saw so many different things and every location and lodge had something unique that differentiated it from the other lodges.
We slept at the roar of a lion in a place without walls (creepy but exhilarating as we felt completely safe throughout our journey) sharing full days with the Maasai community in an experience that will be with us for life, we heard hippos literally outside our tent and got asleep to the grunt to wildebeest pasturing outside our tent in Maasai Mara.
The drivers/guides were excellent and eager to show us what real Kenya is! Very important when you are sharing so many days together. We developed a friendship and we will remember them forever.
I strongly recommend this company: they are knowledgeable, always available and you can feel your money was well spent!

Adventures in Zimbabwe and Botswana including Victoria Falls and safaris
I would highly recommend Alym from East Africa Wild Adventures. The whole group is very detail oriented and accommodating. Their suggestions were great for our adventures in Zimbabwe and Botswana. We would definitely use them again!

Incredible holiday where everything was taken care of and exactly what we wanted
Alym was incredibly available and communicative. Put a complex 3 week trip including safari, gorilla trekking and 3 islands in the Seychelles together in with less than a months notice and he did it all smoothly and with open communication.
Itinerary was uploaded to an app which was easy to follow with contacts readily available if required.
Everything went smoothly and all guides/tour companies used were amazing

absolutely amazing experience. exceptionally well coordinated, organised and executed.
we had the most amazing 4 days. in the lead up Alym was super accommodating, helpful and prompt with his communications and organisation which made us feel comfortable from the offset. our driver Hassan was extremely insightful and was a joy to tour with for 4 days. His knowledge and navigation of some tricky roads was fantastic. East Africa Wild adventures gave us a magical experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. highly recommend their services and expertise which is professional and friendly.

Excellent safari experience and great service
My wife and I booked our honeymoon through East Africa Wild Adventures, and the experience was amazing! Alym worked with us to craft a great trip that spanned 3 different parks across 6 days, and every aspect of the trip was positive - the game viewing experience, the service from our driver, the planning of the trip and communication, and the lodging. We managed to see the Big 5 and really enjoyed the service and experience provided by our driver, Selemani. We would absolutely use East Africa Wild Adventures again to book a future safari!

We had the most amazing time - they did a great job organizing and making sure we had a good time.
This was an incredibly excellent trip. Everyone we dealt with was incredibly professional and friendly and everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, John, made sure that the trip was memorable and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything. Cannot recommend him, or this company, highly enough.

Best trip imaginable!
Alym at East Africa Wild arranged a wonderful, custom Africa adventure for our group of 4. He was very patient and conscientious in the planning and booking process. He listened to our needs and desires and we ended up with the trip of a lifetime. No detail was overlooked and he anticipated our every need. He was in contact with all of our guides and services on the ground and a very complicated itinerary came off without a hitch. The accommodations, food and most of all the staff and guides were fantastic.

East Africa Wild made our Tanzania safari dreams come true!
East Africa Wild provided us with an experience turning what we thought would be once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list trip to an unforgettable trip that we hope to re-experience soon - only with more days and more stops next time!
Initially skeptical of the many companies offering similar services, Alym put us in touch with another couple in New York who answered my questions and provided reassurance - and they had even visited the same places we wanted to go. Alym was responsive, informative, patient, and ultimately able to accommodate our needs and itinerary within our narrow and specific time frame. We had specific demands regarding the locations that we wanted to see and the accommodations I chose where we insisted on staying, and we were able to do it all, thanks to Alym. Our trip went just as planned, which is to say, much better than we could have expected.
Our guide and driver, Mr. Letawo, was amazing. He has been a guide for years (decades?) and knew where to go, what to see, and answers to a million questions every step of the way. He made sure we saw what most never get to see - zebra trying to cross the Mara, a "cat" fight, the "big 5," and wildebeest crossing the Seronera River. He was easy to get along, accommodating with all of my picture-taking and finding the best possible sites and photo shots, and was very knowledgable.
I highly recommend East Africa Wild - and Alym - to anyone who is trying to plan a trip to Tanzania (and already have) and Mr. Letawo to everyone who wants to go with a private guide.
