Wonderful 13day safari in Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara
We came back from our 13day private safari with Easy Travel. We were still dreaming about the wonderful moments we had in Tanzania. It was an amazing experience with the company, their services are professional, efficient and detailed oriented.
Start from the planning, working with Maryam was a joy. She was always prompt to reply any questions we have. She also went out of her way to ensure our requests were taken care of. She kept daily communication with us while we were on the safari making sure everything went well.
We requested Gerald to be our guide, our trip experiences definitely proved that we made a perfect decision. Gerald was a very nice person who took a great care of us. He was professional and took pride in his career. We were impressed by his true passion about animals and nature in his country. We learnt so much about the animals, the Masai culture and Tanzania from him.
We had travelled to many countries, this is definitely the best experiences we had with a tour company. A big thank you to Gerald, Maryam and the team at Easy Travel. We will be back!

The best travel experience in our life
Agent Maryam is on top of every step from planning to the last day of our trip to ensure our satisfaction. Guide Evarest is a live encyclopedia about wild animals, birds and plants. He made sure that we saw all the animals we requested. His motto of persistence, patience and perseverance helped us to find cheetahs and one of them even jumped onto our vehicle. Thank you.

The safari tour of a lifetime!!!
The communications were excellent. Jesca stayed in contact with us as necessary (pre, during and post tour). Our game drive guide Everest was great. He even went out on the limb to teach us the native language.
Easy Travel supplied us with a welcome gift that included baseball caps and African drink. They also arranged for birthday celebrations and cake at every lodging that we stayed at for the entire 7-day tour. We had access to a nice pair of binoculars and power outlets in the vehicle. The game drives were from sunup to sundown. This allowed us to witness the big wildebeest crossing. They helped us arrange the flight for the desert to Zanzibar.
The food at the lodgings was pretty tasty. The lunch boxes on the road were pretty creative and appreciated the fact that they catered to food intolerances.
We saw the Big 5 and even got to spot a white rhino sleeping in the Ngorongoro crater. The animal encounters were amazing. The chewys were tough to find but we spotted a couple in trees. Also got to see the Masai tribes with their extremely healthy cattle along the journey to, thru and from the crater.
The best part for me was staying in our tent camps. My sister was a little nervous but I completely enjoyed it.
The only thing that was a pester was those annoying tsetse flies
Unforgettable trip and experience with Easy Travel
We have been revisiting our wonderful trip to Tanzania by looking at the beautiful pictures we clicked and we are still in awe of the beautiful landscape, the hospitality of the people we met, and beauty of the abundant wildlife. Elias certainly did a great job to enhance our safari experience and it was evident that his knowledge of the wildlife and flora and fauna shined brilliantly as we traveled through different national parks. He is a keen spotter, and often made us wonder how he managed to to spot an animal so far away or hidden in the bushes and this is a clear testament to the years of experience he brings with him.
The lodges exceeded our expectations and we looked forward to returning to our home away home each day after the game drives.
Jesca made the booking and planning process seamless and and I would not hesitate to use Easy Travels for our future travel needs.

Incredible Safari with Easy Travel!
In March we traveled to Tanzania for an 8 day safari. Our experiences were unforgettable and the memories we made we will cherish forever.
We knew we wanted to book with Easy Travel from the very beginning. The level of service, response time and professionalism was unlike any other tour company we heard from. Alice always responded within 24 hours and was very courteous and patient with all the adjustments we had to make as well as the various questions we had. We were able to meet Alice and the Easy Travel staff upon arriving in Tanzania, my husband and I were met with warm smiles and friendly staff. They also were incredibly sweet and helped us celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary with some beautiful songs and cake. This was so unexpected and we were truly touched by the experience.
The safari itself was incredible!! It certainly lived up to and beyond our expectations. Our guide Tom was also incredibly knowledgable about all of the animals, birds, culture, tribes and local traditions and people. My husband and I often had lots of questions about everything and he was great at answering them and engaging us in conversation. His knowledge of the land and how to navigate the area is outstanding. We encountered several areas where we had to cross rivers and we didn't know how we would get across but he always seemed to know the right spot and calculate how deep the water was. It really takes years of experience to know how to approach situations like this and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Tom. On our journey, he helped several vehicles that got stuck, we however never encountered such a situation because we had the best driver guide and friend.
The accommodations in every area were different but equally amazing. The food was also very tasty. I was surprised by how well every place did with my dietary restrictions. Overall we had an incredible experience and would happily recommend this travel company, guide and safari to anyone.

Amazing Tanzania safari in the northern circuit with Easy Travel
My wife and I recently completed a 7-day safari trip organized by Easy Travel. We combined this with an 8-day climb of Mount Kilimanjaro (which was also brilliantly well organized, and totally amazing in every way).
The safari we took was in every way an amazing trip and everything with Easy Travel was first rate. Maryam was our contact, and she promptly and thoroughly answered all of our emails in arranging the trip. This included two alterations to their itinerary (a side trip to Oldupai Gorge and a second trip down into Ngorongoro Gorge) which they were happy to arrange.
We left from Arusha and then followed a 7-day itinerary (Tanzania classic, comfort plus) to the following game parks: Tarangire (one day), Manyara (one day), Serengeti (two days), Lake Ndutu (one day), and Ngorongoro Crater (one day). The safaris were truly wonderful. Every park has beautiful scenery and the most amazing wildlife. Each is somewhat different – for instance, Tarangire has the most elephants, Serengeti the most wildebeest and zebras, and Ngorongoro the most variety. Everything about these parks is amazing and beautiful and full of exciting adventures seeing thousands of animals and birds, and spotting some of the hard-to-see animals like leopards and rhinoceroses.
Our driver-guide Cornel was with us for the whole time, and he was the most exceptional guide, in every way. He is extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the birds, the parks, and he enthusiastically shared this knowledge with us for the entire week. He is an amazingly skilled driver. He has the uncanny ability to spot animals from afar we would never have seen – leopards, lions, rhinos, cheetahs - and to get to the best possible spots for us to be able to photograph them. He was always punctual, extremely well organized, cheerful and patient.
During the week, we also had the chance to visit a village near Lake Manyara (Mto Wa Mbu), a Maasai village on the way back to Arusha, the market in Arusha and another village (Ilkedinge), all of which were very interesting, gave us a chance to meet some local people, eat some local food, and get a sense of life as lived by Tanzanians.
The lodges we stayed at (we chose “comfort plus” establishments) were outstanding, with excellent food, and very comfortable rooms.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience in every way.

Amazing guide and seamless customer service
After comparing numerous safari companies, we decided to take our first safari with Easy Travel. Their quick and thorough communication throughout the process sets them apart from all the other safari companies. Jesica was attentive to all of our needs and personalized the safari to meet each and every request. Instantly we need knew we were in good hands.
When we arrived in Arusha, we were met at the airport by our guide, Edward. He was friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited to serve as our guide. As he helped us get acquainted in Tanzania, we saw our safari jeep, equipped with a refrigerator for any drinks and power outlet so we could charge any of our devices while on the safari. We opted for the private tour for just the two of us, but had a jeep that could fit up to 7 people so space was not an issue! Easy Travel's accommodation selections did not disappoint in the least. Each of our lodgings were first class with hearty meals included.
While on the road the next morning, Edward made sure we stopped any time we wanted pictures or breaks. He was always eager to answer any questions we had whether it was about the animals, plants, or culture. We appreciated his excitement and attention to detail in his responses. As a lover of languages, I was glad for the opportunity to learn a little Swahili from him.
Upon arrival in Ngorogoro on our way to Serengeti, Edward made sure to point out all the flora and fauna. We even saw a black rhino while on the crater rim due to his trained eyes and expertise. When we arrived in Serengeti, we began our two and a half days of game viewing. Edward made sure we covered 4 out of the Big 5 while there (as no rhinos are in the Serengeti). We spotted cheetahs finishing a meal, leopards lounging from branches, elephants traveling with their babies, giraffes, hippos, fields of zebras, wildebeests on the Great Migration, gazelles, antelope, bison, and prides of lions and their cubs. Over the course of the safari, we saw more animals than we ever anticipated. Easy Travel and Edward made sure we were taken care of in the best possible manner. Their attention to detail every step of the way demonstrates their professionalism, pride, and conscientiousness. By the end of the trip, we felt we had a friend, not just a guide.
To top it all off, Easy Travel set up several surprises along the way to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary. Easy Travel truly made this a dream vacation, and we can't imagine using any other tour company.

Good planning, good service, friendly, efficient. Trip was great and very well organised
We've spent 1 week in Tanzania with 2 other families ( 12 people in total including children ) , Easy Travel ( Maryam ) organised our trip based on our requirements and our budget. Everything was perfect : accommodation provided was very good, drivers were excellent and friendly, service was perfect. We had a very warm welcome in Arusha and a debrief session at the end of our trip. I highly recommend this travel agency.

wonderful trip for Safari Tanzania
We have the group of 11 peoples, I am the organizer. When we search from the TripAdvisor website for Safari Tanzania, we found Easy Travel. Through the easy travel website, I talked to Jessica almost every day, she is such great lady, answered all my questions, and give me great suggestion. Due to the big group, wiring transfer the deposit was big issue. Only rely on the website information, the 10K deposit, that was a little scaring. But we got very quick response after the wire done. Start from there, everything went well. Our tour guides, Thomas and Alex, they are so knowledgeable, and experienced, answered all the questions we had. Due to the distant with the animals, we can not see them so clear, the tour guides always showed the pictures and explained their life habits. The hotels with our comfort plus plan, those are wonderful, rooms and food, all 5 stars. At the end of trip, Easy travel gave us a surprise party in their office building which is big building. All staffs joined the party and singing the sound for us, and the company CEO gave us a talk, such the warm feeling. And we got the big cake at end of party. Great experience with Easy Travel, a lot of memory for this trip. I don't need to recommend, you know what I mean.

Worth Every Penny
Everything was well thought out. We only had a short amount of time (5 days), but we were able to get a good sample of the Safari in Tanzania with the itinerary that was suggested to us. Communication was always prompt, polite, and informative from the company. Emails were always responded to within 24 hours, and always with as detailed information as possible.
