Full service and peace of mind
We just had an amazingly wonderful, smooth 9-day wildebeest migration safari through Easy Travel, expertly coordinated and carried out from start to finish. We felt especially lucky because we only started inquiring less than 2 months before our trip. I researched leading companies and inquired with 5-10 of them. Easy Travel provided the itinerary with the most days in the northern Serengeti (where the wildebeest were predicted to be) and most variety of top quality tented lodge sites, at prices on par with or even better than other companies. Julieth, our travel specialist, was responsive and available literally from start to finish, not only online, but in person at the beginning and end of our trip, and checking in by phone in the middle.
Innocent, our airport transfer driver, was respectful, friendly, and timely picking us up and dropping us back to JRO airport.
The highlight of our trip was having Abisai M. as our driver guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything—animals, birds, plants and trees, geology, the history and culture of Tanzania, etc. He had an eagle eye, able to find and identify distant animals that I could barely even make out when told about them. His driving was impeccable on the very rough terrain, and his navigation skills were unbelievable through the vast, flat Serengeti where even established dirt roads are unmarked. It was clear to us that he was respected by other guides, and he readily helped them if needed, with directions, vehicle breakdowns, and more. Above all, he was accommodating and gladly willing to work with all of our requests. He made our trip come to life!
During our trip I learned some details about why Easy Travel stands out among the dozens of other safari companies. They invest in their staff, providing great training and hiring many women from the community. They do detailed inspections and maintenance on their vehicles after every trip. They hire only experienced driver guides after extensive interviews that include a long drive into the parks. They prioritize safety above all.
One last point to mention. We are an LGBT family with a 10-year old child, and always felt welcomed, never once feeling any negativity from anyone during our entire trip. I hope this helps others like us feel confident to book with Easy Travel. We are so very glad we did—it was the experience of a lifetime!!

10-star experience!!!!!!!!!!
We had 9 safari days in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire that went beyond our dreams and expectations. Everyday, we saw so many different animals, birds and plants. Our guide and naturalist, Abisai Mbasha, went above and beyond to make our experience very memorable. Everyday, he impressed us with his knowledge of the flora and fauna. He has an amazing eye and ability to identify animals such as a cheetah in the grass to small bird species. He was also funny and joyful which made the long distances and bumpy roads go easily. He always answered our questions thoughtfully and was very kind to our child. In addition to amazing pictures and memories, we left our safari knowing a lot more about nature and culture in Tanzania, and a deeper appreciation and respect for all the guides who work so hard to have all travelers have a good experience.

Unforgitable 60th Wedding Aniversary Safari With Musa Harrison
If you are looking for a Safari tour then you can stop looking and book this one with Easy Travel. The entire team starting from the booking service and tour coordinator are so professional and easy to work. The trip itself was absolutely fantastic and has everything you could need to feel like you are on an actual expedition. Out driver for the 7 day tour was Musa whom was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the wilderness from flora to fauna. He was the most professional and standup guy you could ask for. If we were to go again on tour we would 100% book with Easy Travel and also request Musa as our guide. He was an expert tracker and found every animal we could think of including the Big 5 if that is your goal. Furthermore the team at the comfort camps have literally provided the best service I have ever had on my travels including some luxury hotels. On top of that the food is amazing and I still can’t believe the Chefs were able to produce such delicious meals in the middle of the wilderness. Oh and you can and will see and hear wildlife while on camp! Sleeping to sounds of lions and hyenas! Seriously if you are still reading just book this.

Awesome
Going on a Safari was at the top of our list for travel. A friend of our recommended Easy Travel to help us plan our trip. Helen, our agent, took over and helped us plan a wonderful trip. She was so friendly and very easy to understand and made us feel completely comfortable with our decisions.
Also, our friend recommended a guide to ask for. Claus was awesome to spend 7 days with. He was very friendly and accommodating but more than that, he knew exactly where to go and led us to see a lot of exciting animals. Even when the animals were hiding and being quiet, Claus kept trying his hardest to show us the beautiful landscape of Africa.
We would highly recommend Easy Travel!!!

Absolutely amazing, 12 out of 10
Our trip with Louis was amazing, his expertise meant that we saw most of the animals on our list within 24 hours, which gave us plenty of time to see other things we hadn't dreamed of! We saw lions stalking prey, a lion guarding a kill, and the rarer animals like leopard and rhino. Louis' knowledge of the areas and of the animals meant we often saw animals when other tours were still looking. He never seemed to tire of our questions or of helping us to get in the right spot for awesome photographs. We were often the only people there watching the animals due to his impeccable sense of timing. I've already recommended Louis and Easy Travel to a few friends and will not hesitate to recommend him in the future.
Masuma, the travel agency's contact window, was very friendly and responded quickly to our questions. The guide Aniny was very professional and helped us deal with many difficult problems along the way, and showed us many wild animals in Serengeti & Ngorongoro. This trip will be an unforgettable memory in my life!
2.Friendly, insightful, welcoming
Our guide Louis was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and animals and seemed to take us to the right place at the right time, every time because of his expertise I felt like this was the trip of a life time for us and highly recommend Easy Travel and Louis to anyone wanting to experience the wonder of Tanzania
3.Fantastic family safari with easy travel and louis our safari guide. I would highly recommend a safari with this company
What an amazing experience doing our safari with Louis our driver who went above and beyond making sure we seen the big five and many more. His esperance and friendly manner made the trip even more special as he passed on much knowledge that he has learnt over his years of guiding . I would like to thank louis and easy travel for making the safari such a special memory for me .one that will be remembered for ever .
4.An Amazing Safari
Louis made the trip very special. I came on the safari not knowing what to expect. The experience of being out in the right place at the right just showed the knowledge and experience that Louis had and was willing to share . We accomplished the big 5 , with Louis using his knowledge and experience again to get us to the last animal on the list a leopard . We saw many prides of Lions and cubs , elephants, mongoose,many birds, flowers hippos and the rhino on our first day. Its been a long time since I had so much excitement amazing . This was a family trip and he made sure we were all happy with what he planned . A well recommended guide and driver . Even the hosts at the camp said how lucky we were to see what we had , and they knew of Louis's experience of finding the animals we did.

The trip of a lifetime!
Easy Travel does not only make your trip easy, but it makes it memorable. First, their agents communicate really well and are extremely helpful assisting you in creating a custom safari itinerary.
We were extremely excited to start our journey and we were not disappointed. I must say that the success of such a trip depends a lot on the expertise and personality of your guide and driver. Ours, Simon Boimanda was the best we could have hoped for: experienced driver, resourceful, friendly and fun, and, above all, a mine of knowledge.
Simon shared an authentic passion for the Tanzanian wildlife and made it fun asking questions and let us know guess a plausible answer. He masterfully made our trip exciting, authentic, seamless and full of learning.
At night, we stayed in a combination of wilderness Tortillis camps with their friendly and dedicated staff and amazing comfort, and a couple of high-end lodges which allowed to take a short break.
If I was to summarize the highlights of our trip, I would say (in chronological order):
1. Safari trip through the forests of Tanrangire to observe in awe thunders of elephants.
2. Balloon flight over the plains of Serengeti to watch the great migration of wildebeests and zebras
3. Walking safari to the Empakai crater to watch flames of flamingos soaring to the sky
4. Safari in the crater of Ngorongoro to watch a vibrant ecosystem show its best colors
5. A cultural stop at Lake Eyasi to learn about the Datoga metallurgists and hunt with Hatzabe bushmen.
Wow! What a magical experience. Thank you Simon! Thank you Easy Travel! Asante sana Tanzania!

The tour operator to use in Tanzania is Easy Travel & Tours A++++++
3.Best Safari photography Tour and best driver
We wanted to do a photography safari tour in Tanzania with local companies because of their knowledge with their parks and the best spots to watch and photograph the wildlife. We chose Easy Travel and Tour Ltd from Trip Advisor. The Tour itself was spectacular and exceed our expectation. But Ombeni our guide was our highlight of the trip. He knew so much not only about animal’s behavior to find them, but also this knowledge about photography. He would find us the best angle to photograph and work with us to get the best shots possible. His patience was appreciated and we had the best experience in shooting the wildlife in the best condition that our guide and driver Ombeni made it possible.
I advise anyone who plan to visit Tanzania, to book a safari with Easy Travel and if you can get Ombeni as your guide, you will live one of the best experience in Tanzania.

Friendly staff and experienced guides from Easy Travel
Before we travelled we had excellent communications with Voice Gerson, the Sales Specialist in the Arusha Office. It partly was her prompt, thorough responses that persuaded us to go with Easy Travel.
Our friendly driver/guide Emillian was very knowledgeable thanks to his years of experience. Emillian tailored our daily drives to suit our requests.
The highlight of our 8 days was spending several hours quietly watching the wildebeest and zebra of the Great Migration as they trotted north, dusty lines from horizon to horizon. We will never forget it!

Musa & Charles' impeccable team got us up Kilimanjaro safely & kept us laughing & dancing throughout
Our Kilimanjaro trek was incredible. It is a hard hike and straight up the mountain so beware! Going with Easy Travel made it as smooth as possible though. Both Musa and Charles were great at keeping us going slowly but steadily up the mountain. "Pole, pole" as they say in Tanzania! This was especially important the last night when we were at high altitudes. The team also had so much energy and life which was infectious and really helped us continue even when it got hard. In the final night when we were sumitting, the team was even singing and playing different songs. It was so fun and I don't know how they had the energy to do that even while at 6k meters! We had a little dance party at the top too.
Overall incredible experience! Great team! Food and tent set up was great too! All worked very well
