Best Trip Ever
There are many options for safari guides, but you will not regret choosing Easy Travel. First, we worked with Voice who patiently offered me about 50 different quotes based on my requests for different accommodation options to help us get the best for our budget and provided for us the perfect 9-day Tanzania safari itinerary for our honeymoon. When we arrived, we were lucky to have Mr. Abisai as our safari guide. Mr Abisai was very friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, and was a wonderful person to spend so much time with on our safari. He worked incredibly hard to ensure we saw many animals and was always excited with us when we found something we hadn’t seen yet! He was awake before us to look for spots the animals could be found and was great at spotting hiding lions and leopards and other animals we surely would have missed without him. We never dreamed we would see so many animals, including the big 5! Abisai also was great at getting us into position to take great photographs and we have many amazing photos and videos to show for his efforts. We felt so lucky that he was assigned to be our guide.
We truly had such an incredible trip. We didn’t lift a finger the whole time; we saw so many incredible sights and animals; and our accommodations were comfortable and lovely. Thanks to Voice and Abisai, we have nothing but positive things to say about our trip with Easy Travel! Everything was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We hope to return someday for another journey with them.

Optimal
Four of us did the northern parks tour over seven days.
The organization, the Lodges and the Guide (Emanuel with good Italian) were excellent and fully up to par

Easy Travel made this the Best Vacation Ever!
We had an INCREDIBLE safari experience and trip to Tanzania all thanks to Freddy, our Easy Travel Safari Guide and Norah with Easy Travel. A friend recommended Easy Travel and our Safari Guide Freddy and we are SUPER glad that he did that. From the beginning, Norah was super helpful and answered ALL of our questions. (We had a lot.). She would check in with us and followed up to make sure we had the correct paperwork and information to make it into the country easily. Norah even checked in with us by phone halfway through our safari, which was very thoughtful and hospitable.
The moment we landed in Tanzania, it was Hakuna Matata. Freddy picked us up from the Airport and brought us to our hotel. We didn’t have to worry about a thing once we arrived in Tanzania. Easy Travel took care of all the driving and logistics for us, which was very helpful. We met daily to discuss wake up time and agenda for the next day. Freddy even taught us basic Swahili vocabulary words to make our trip better. Our Safari experience would not have been the same without Freddy. We would not have seen all the animals we did without Freddy’s safari experience. He knew where to look for animals and was in constant communication with his colleagues to make sure we were able to see hard to find animals.
We saw more animals than we dreamed we would see. We saw the Big 5 within our first two days of the safari. We saw MANY groups of lions and lion cubs, a leopard, two groups of cheetahs (one group had cheetah cubs), a white rhino and a black rhino, many elephants and babies up close, giraffes up close, zebras and wildebeast migrating, hippos and babies, two Nile Crocodiles, pink flamingos, caraca cat (hard to find), hyenas, warthogs, jackals, vultures and so much more. The Safari vehicle (Toyata Land Cruiser) was very comfortable and perfect for view the animals from the pop top roof.
We stayed at the Tortilis camps during our Safarj and I cannot say enough good things about the hospitality we experienced there. Everyone was so kind, friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend staying at all of the Tortilis camps during your safari!
We also did the guided day hike to Mt Kilamanjaro through Kestra with Easy Travel. It was a fun hike. Kestra was great guide and taught us a few things about the rainforest and Mt Kila along the way. He carried our lunches and rain ponchos and completed all the paperwork for us. Would recommend Kestra as a Day Hike Guide!
Thank you SO much for the trip of a lifetime. We will be recommending Easy Travel and Freddy, Norah and Kestra to all of our friends and family!

Tanzania with Easy Travel is a must!
Short review: These are wonderful people who do an amazing job and there’s no way anyone else is better at what they do.
Long Review: I’ve been fortunate enough to do a lot of things. Shark diving, see the Roman Colosseum, see Machu Picchu, but none of that compares to how amazing this trip was. It was a trip of a lifetime that started with amazing communication with Norah. No matter how many questions we asked and changes we made, she was accommodating the entire time. She also followed up several times to see how we were doing and made sure it was a spectacular time.
For the safari itself, Freddy was our safari guide, and he was the best. He was incredibly nice, helped us learn some Swahili, answered 100’s of questions and made sure we felt like special. Freddy’s a humble guy who sacrifices a lot to make sure his guests leave loving his country. There’s no way we would have seen the big 5 without him. His knowledge of the parks coupled with his driving skills and working the radio, resulted in us getting up close to a lot of things we didn’t expect to see.
We saw so much stuff:
multiple monkeys (blue and velvet) and baboons
Bush buck
elephants everyday
Heards of buffalo
wart hogs
Giraffe everyday
Zebra and impala everyday
Leopard
Multiple Lions and cubs
Hyena
Hippo
Migrating wildebeest
ostrich
leopard
Lots of unique birds
Jackles
Topi
Turtle
6 cheetah’s
Caracal cat - Special cat hard to find
Serval cat
Pink flamingos
Black Rhino
And so much more
The safari vehicle has Wi-Fi which was great for sharing pictures and staying in touch. It didn’t work all the time because the parks are fairly isolated but it was frequently in use and nice to have.
On our last day, we hiked to the Mandara Hut on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide was Kester, who did a great job. He set the expectations the night before and carried our lunches. He also gave us some info along the hike. The hike itself was pretty and we saw some monkeys.
Overall, I’d highly recommend going to Tanzania if you want an amazing experience and you should book it through Easy Travel Tanzania. You should also ask for Freddy to be your guide. You won’t be disappointed.

Better experience than we ever could imagined
For many years we have longed for a Safari journey. After we have been recommended to choose Easy Travel by friends, this tour operator fulfilled our dreams from all aspects. Everything worked perfect. We have seen a lot of animals and got much closer to them than we ever have dreamed off.
Our amazing and skilled safari driver & guide, Ombeni, taught us a lot about the animals and answered all our questions. He also told us about the Tanzanian society and now we know so much more about Tanzania than before.
Norah at the office gave us a great customer experience. From start to end we felt so well taken care of, and we definitively want to recommend Easy Travel as a fantastic tour operator.

Caring and exceptional
Easy tours and travels demonstrated what Tanzania is, an amazing host with incredible people. This safari was a dream of my father for the past 56 years and i am sure no one could have done it any better than Easy tours. They opened my eyes about Tanzania and the Tanzanian hospitality. I am incredibly thankful for making this THE trip of my life and what every other trip will be measured against.
This was made possible by 2 people Nora and Gilbert (Mariki). Patience and care with a smile, we felt safe cared for and accommodated more than we could ever imagine. Gilbert what a guide, an incredible smile and bent on ensuring we get the best out of our safari. I will never forget the moment he spotted the elusive black rhinoceros (only possible by his trained eye) and expertly maneuvered the cruiser to catch up to it, the result a story of a lifetime! The majestic black rhino crossing in front of us.
You cannot go wrong with Easy tours and travel, especially if you are in the hands of Nora and Gilbert. We are forever thankful!

Tanzania with Easy Travels - An Enhanting & Magical Experience!!
We were a group of 4 adults on our first adventure safari trip to Tanzania. Easy Travels & Tours was a personal recommendation from a friend who travelled a year ago with them. And I must say Easy Travels exceeded our expectations, giving us beautiful memories of their land, people, flora and fauna. We travelled across Moshi, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater & National Park and Central Serengeti National Park for 7 days.
From drafting our itinerary to providing us with recommendations/options for stay, and travel time, Norah at their head office was exceptionally supportive. She was very responsive to our numerous questions (always available on WhatsApp!!), patiently went through them and assured us at every stage of our bookings. The process was seamless and easy to follow through, and all aspects of travel were taken care of. She is very knowledgeable and provided us with detailed information every step of the way. Norah went the extra mile to call our hotel in Moshi before our arrival and informed them to keep their kitchen open so we could have our dinner after a long flight into Kilimanjaro (as we were delayed at the airport on arrival)! All during our travels in Tanzania and finally in Zanzibar for the last 3 days of our trip, Norah kept in touch with and continually assisted us.
Our travels began with Mariki (Gilbert) picking us up from the airport and travelling with us for seven days! He is an amazing tour guide with years of safari experience, trained and certified. He ensured our safety, wellbeing and was always a step ahead of us, ensuring our travel each day was comfortable. Game drives were an exceptional experience for all of us, nothing we even remotely imagined it would be! A magical world and memorable encounters. He demonstrated Tanzanian people's kind hospitality and care for their tourists and local people, educating us during our drives. He gave us detailed information on birds and animals, their characteristics and their behaviour. He assisted us during our transfer across to Kenya at their land border as well! We enjoyed our time with him.
Overall, an enchanting and magical experience! Easy Travels & Tours is a one-stop organization for Tanzania's safari trips! Highly recommend them!!

Amazing Family Adventure
We recently returned from a family adventure in Tanzania organized by Easy Travel. I must say it was one of the most professionally handled experiences I've had. From the start (and much before that actually) it was coordinated excellently by Voice and her team to make this a memorable vacation.
We visited Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara & Karatu - all arrangements were meticulously handled and seamless. Our driver guides, Emmilian, Adrian and Everest shared a wealth of their knowledge throughout the trip. Emmilian was fantastic with his knowledge of birds and wildlife, especially in the Serengeti.
The highlight of the trip was our stay at Tortilis Serengeti - the camp owned by Easy Travel. The entire team at Tortilis were awesome, they made sure each of our requests were addressed and made us feel at home. The sundowners, bonfire and the food were certainly the highlights.
I would definitely recommend Easy Travel, 10/10 :)

Our experience exceeded our expectations!
Our safari experience was amazing! Our driver and guide Gilbert Mariki was outstanding! This man is knowledgeable of the territory and all the animals. He was very impressive. We saw four of the Big Five on our first day and thousands of Wildebeest as they crossed the Mara river. Mariki set our schedule because he was the expert. Every day we had 12 hours of excitement as we drove through the Serengeti Park. Thank you Mariki for your expertise and for taking good care of us. Going over and above of service is what you delivered.
Lizbeth thank you for planning an exciting once in a lifetime Safari tour. It was wonderful to finally meet you. Thank you for your patience with us and for your outstanding services from start to finish we appreciate it. All our accommodations and food were great thank you for all your selections. We are enjoying our warm Maasai blankets here in Maryland USA where it is cold. Thank you for thinking of us.

Exceeded expectations, great communicators, aimed to please
It is difficult to convey how great a job Easy Travel & Tours did in arranging our safari, answering all our questions before we started, handling all of our questions during our excursion and making certain everything went smoothly. Norah, who arranged everything, is superb and our guides Emmilian, Adrian and Gerald were top notch. The service level included making a step stool for one of our passengers who needed help getting into the jeep and arranging to have the passport one of our travelers left at one hotel brought to us. The guides were very knowledgeable and did a great job of getting us up close and personal with the animals.
