Easytravel Serengeti Safari
We have just completed a 2 week Tanzanian Safari with Easytravel, a local, Arusha based, travel company specialising in wildlife safaris, travelling in specially adapted Toyota Landcruisers with stretched chassis, 6 passenger seats, pop-up roof, binoculars, ample storage and even wifi. Our group of 23 people, mostly aged in our 60s, 70s and even early 80s, was spread over 6 vehicles, giving us plenty of room to move about to get the best view for photographing the wildlife we came to see.
Over the 2 weeks of our safari, we stayed at Arusha Serena Hotel, Ndutu Tented Lodge, Serengeti Serena Lodge, Kirawira Tented Camp, Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp, Serena Lodge Ngorongoro and finally back to Arusha.
We went on Safari to see African wildlife in their natural habitat but, wow, what we saw far exceeded our expectations! The thrill of getting up close to virtually any African animal imaginable is an incredible experience! We sat in the middle of a herd of elephants, enormous bulls, mothers and babies, while they calmly moved around our car feeding on a tree a mere 2 metres from us and our cameras! We got very close to numerous other animals too, including several prides of lions, cheetah families, solitary leopards, herds of buffalo, giraffes, hippos, and literally millions of wilderbeast, zebra and numerous types of antelope. Then there were rare black rhinos, crocodiles, warthogs, hyenas, jackals and numerous small animals, and of course birds, from ostriches, vultures and other birds of prey down to the small highly coloured varieties.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater must be the best place in Africa to see wildlife in the natural habitat but our amazing experience was made possible by the excellent organisation, service and facilities provided by Easytravel and their highly experienced guides. Our guide and driver, Adrian, had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the wildlife and where to find them, with eyes like an eagle to spot even the smallest solitary animals in the distance. Without his expert guidance we would certainly have missed seeing many of the smaller and solitary animals. He was also an excellent driver both on the main roads and off-road driving across the open plains and bush tracks. We always felt in safe hands and very well looked after by our Adrian!
Overall, our Serengeti Safari with Adrian and Easytravel was an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime experience, which I highly recommend to any able bodied person of any age wanting a real African wildlife experience while being very well looked after.
A 9/10 experience for me!

Small, specialist tailored tours using exceptional guides
Easytravel tailored a 10 day safari based on their deep understanding of the relationship between the Great Migration & the weather and the game in each region, resulting in a truly exceptional, personalised experience at remarkably good value. With Gerald as our guide we saw everything you'd want to see on a safari, things you don't even know you can see & he always positioned us for photos worthy of National Geographic. The luxury tented camps added to our safari experience, the staff were warm & friendly wherever we went & the food was great everywhere. We travelled light knowing that a reasonable same day laundry service was always available. Each day we thought it impossible to better but Gerald delivered. Our 10 days saw us in Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorogoro & Arusha National Park. "Being In" the Great Migration should be on everyone's bucket list. We saw the big 5, the little 5, the ugly 5, our favourite 5, the most beautiful birds, breathtaking scenery & sunsets & even interesting bugs. This will go down as our best holiday ever.

An outstanding, personalized Tanzania safari, an authentic Africa experience
Our Easy Travel tour was a 14-day customized and personalized safari for our group of four. We visited Ndutu, the Serengeti National Park (central, Western corridor, and northern areas during the Great Migration), Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha National Park. Starting with the initial booking process, communication was always clear and responsive. From arrival in Arusha through to departure two weeks later, service was always incredibly friendly and reliable. Our guide was GERALD ELISHA MOLLEL, who demonstrated an outstanding knowledge of Tanzania's natural resources and animal life and was always friendly and helpful. If you want an amazing experience that you will never forget, at good value, work with Easy Travel to create your dream Tanzania holiday and make sure to ask for GERALD as your guide!

Tailored tours with outstanding guides
We spent two weeks on safari moving to to different areas of the Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorogoro & Arusha. We were right in the migration in a number of places which is truly unbelievable. We saw everything from dung beetles to the big beasts and the most beautiful birds. Not only did we see lions, leopards & cheetah a number of times but we saw them all with cubs too.... Along with young from every species. We've been on safari a number of times before but this was the most incredible experience. If I was going to do only one safari I would do it through Easy Travel with Gerald as my guide. Hard as it is to believe every day was better than the one before & there wasn't anything we asked that Gerald couldn't answer.

Beyond outstanding service and knowledge
We did a 10 day safari through Easy Travel Tanzania. Our guide, Gerald, was exceptionally knowledgeable and stayed with us for the entire trip, taking us to Ndutu, Serengeti, NgoroNgoro crater, and Arusha National Park. We were part of a larger group, but my husband and I and our friends (another couple) were in one vehicle together. Highly recommend 4 to a vehicle rather than 6. No question was too much for Gerald to answer from animals to birds to plants, to politics to history. He not only drove for hours on end to show us the migration, the big 5, baby animals, birds, etc, but he braved rain, fog, darkness, flies, and heat to give us the best experience. He has a knack for seeing game before other vehicles and finding the best vantage point for pictures. I was amazed at the shots we got using only an iPhone. We joked that when Gerald said it was time to return to the lodge, he saved the best for last each day such as lions so close u could almost touch them! After 10 days we felt we had learned so much and made a friend. We can not recommend Gerald more highly. Such an elegant, lovely, knowledgeable man.

Unforgettable 8 Day Safari in Tanzania
8 Day Tanzania Safari
We had an amazing safari experience with Easy Travel. We saw four parks in eight days- Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. The incredible number and variety of animals that we saw exceeded all our expectations. We were lucky enough to experience the wildebeest great migration in Serengeti as well as a family group of three lionesses with six cubs. We also saw giraffe, zebra, hippos, black rhino, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, baboon as well as many types of gazelle and grazing animals. We also saw an incredible variety of bird life including ostriches and flamingos.
Our guide Ombeni was amazing in every way. From our pickup at the airport to our delivery back to the airport, Ombeni was our guide/ driver, and he took great care of us every step of the way. He was incredibly personable and professional, as well as very knowledgeable about the wildlife, plant life and the environment of all the parks. We feel very lucky that Ombeni was our guide. He truly made our safari a “once in a lifetime” experience.

An incredible 8-day Tanzanian Safari
From the moment of first email contact with Voice in the front office to airport drop off, Easy Travel was just that. Our guide Ombeni picked us up at the airport and made it his mission to see that we had the best safari experience possible. We visited several parks including Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. We saw lions, elephant, black rhino, leopards, cheetah and so much more. We were lucky enough to not only see the great migration, but to spend over two hours driving through it. Utterly amazing. Ombeni, our guide made sure that we enjoyed the quieter parts of the drives, pointing out birds, plants life, and teaching us about the many cultures of Tanzania. The comfort plus-style accommodations at each of the park lodges were beautiful and a good value for the cost. If you have any interest in going, do it, you will be amazed.

Safari trip of a lifetime!
We did an incredible 8-day safari, tailored for the season and for where the animals would be by Easy Travel.
It was a truly life changing experience and I cannot say enough about Easy Travel and especially our guide, Hubert. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and a wonderful person to get to know over the week. We saw so many animals and he was key in spotting them, bringing us to the right spots at the right time, and helping us get the best views. We had such a fun time and would 100% recommend this trip, Easy Travel, and Hubert to any of our friends back home!
