A combination of jungle safari at Tsavo East National Park and Mombasa Marine National park tour
It was a quick tour to Kenya for 4 days.
Mr Eric of Ewamannssafaris was very responsive from the time we planned this visit till termination of the visit. Although our visit was hectic and planned in a hurry but we never felt being neglected anywhere any time.
Eric always outreached to us for all coordinations.
The hotels he choose for us for night stay were of expected standards with excellent service.
The rates were reasonable. Transport provided was as promised by him. The stay at Kenya Safari Lodge Hotel inside Tsavo East Park was a treat to stay in. In a budget of as low as 300 US $per person was very much justified.
The best thing of Ewamannssafaris is that they give you a personal touch in their services.
I'm planning a family tour next year. And I would love to deal again with Mr Eric and Ewamannssafaris.

The ideal budget safari
I was really pleased with the experience! The tents in which we stayed were comfortable, clean and had an en-suite bathroom. The food was your typical local food and did the trick. The best part was probably the guide. He had over 9 years of experience doing safaris and was in constant radio communication with all the other guides in the park, which allowed him to effectively track the animals. I saw lions eating, leopards, cheetahs and all sorts of other wild animals that I never would have found on my own. I highly recommend this tour! The one thing that could be improved is the lunch during the second day and provision of snacks in between meals, but that really isn't a huge issue considering how much fun we had!

Excellent customer service by Erick
As students with very limited budget, safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania are very difficult to be arranged with the high costs in accommodation, game drives and park entries, especially during the migration period. I rarely write a review for my trips but I am writing this review to express my utmost gratitude to Erick of Ewamanns Safaris, who has tried his best over the past three months to make our safari trip work.
From the start, Erick has always been very responsive, caring and professional. He always tried his best to offer extra and more intimate services and tailor to all our requests. In particular, he answered all of our questions understanding that we have limited knowledge about Kenya and Tanzania. He demonstrated passion and enthusiasm to show the best of his country to us, and treated us as good friends rather than merely clients. His English may not be the best, so do we, but he always provided us with clarifications in case we did not understand anything. We are totally confident with the outstanding arrangements of Erick, from the very simple and safe booking procedures to promising us nice, passionate and knowledgeable drivers. We would also like to thank Erick for contacting and negotiating with KWS for us in order to obtain the student rates for the national reserves. While it has failed in the end, the tremendous effort which Erick has put in is highly appreciable.
Looking forward to our trip in Kenya and Tanzania in July and August, we are confident that we will have great adventures seeing the natural wonder of migration, understanding local cultures, enjoying Kenyan and Tanzanian cuisines, and more importantly, meeting Erick, a good friend who has helped us in all his capacity to bring our dreams come true.

Trip of a Lifetime
I would highly recommend Ewamanns Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya. I did a last minute solo tour of Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Lake Naivasha in December 2015. After my safari in Kenya Erick organized a safari in Tanzania visiting the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in January 2016 and i had an incredible time.
The booking process was straightforward and secure. Erick was very responsive and helpful during booking process and replied almost immediately to all my emails, Knowing that it was Christmas and New Year's and that I was booking last minute i was really worried but he made sure that i had all that i wanted and worked all his contacts. Erick organized my airport pick up, all my hotel stays in between safari's and spent the first day prior to me safari explaining me my itinerary all that while showing me the city of Nairobi and it's attractions. He made sure to be always available, picked me up after each of my safari's, organized my transportation to Arusha for the Tanzanian part of my trip (even woke up at 5 am to pick me up at the hotel and take me to pick up location)!! He made sure his colleagues continued to provide the excellent service he provided me in Kenya.
He was absolutely fantastic, welcoming, friendly and made sure that i was always having a great time. As a female solo traveler in her late 20's I always felt safe and there was not a question that Erick couldn't answer!! Thank you Erick for making my trip in East Africa so special and for sending all my post cards to my family and friends for me!!
I had such a great time in East Africa and will definitely be returning in the fall for another safari with Erick and this time i am bringing my family!!
Thank you Erick from the bottom of my heart!

A very good experience with Ewamanns Safari
I happened upon Ewamanns Safaris on the internet, very wary about what how people wax lyrical about safari companies (only to discover the review is being done by someone connected to the company). Having said that, I would like to state that I only knew 4 people in Kenya before I went and they were Americans ... so no connection to this company.
At no stage was I even a little worried that this was a dodgy company - communication with Erick, the guy in charge, was seamless and done by both email and whatsapp. He responded to my initial enquiry very promptly, providing me with price (very reasonable) and departure dates (which fitted perfectly for my short time in Kenya). I arrived in Nairobi the night before I left for Masai Mara - Erick and I communicated by SMS (no data on my foreign cell phone for Kenya) to finalise where and when I would meet him. At 8am the next morning, we met in the heart of town and he introduced me to the guy who was taking the safari. He made sure that I was all set (getting me 4 bottles of water to take along) before the safari left.
On arrival back in Nairobi 2 days later, Erick organised for his brother to take me out to the suburbs for the cost of a normal taxi fare to where I was staying (a good hour+ in Nairobi Friday afternoon traffic). This was very much appreciated as I did not have to find my own taxi and I felt safe.
And on top of that, the safari was excellent (heaps of animals and beautiful scenery).
Would I use this company again? Yes due to good communications leading up to (and after) the safari and because the price of the safari was very good (others paid more than I did for the same experience).

Best safari ever!
I did the 3 day trip to maasai mara and I had a really good time. I joined a group by myself but everyone was travelling alone so we had a good connection and the driver and people where we stayed really made us feel welcome! Service was good, food was oke and we spent a lot of time with the animals. I loved that we got background info about the nature. The tents with shower and toilet inside were fine to.

An amaizing experience
The service was very nice from my arrival in Nairobi to the end. Erick tried really hard to make me go through the itinerary even though I was the only person for the Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park. I did have a good safari tour and hope to have another one soon.

Amazing 12 day safari in kenya and Tanzania
We loved our experience thanks to Ericks personal touch to the safari. From personaly picking us up at the nairobi airport to making sure we had everything we required during our 12 day safari. The experience was incredible. The drivers spoke english, friendly and well informed. The sleeping was budget with nice confort. The food was very good. Most were buffet. The parks and game viewing was fantastic
