They are available for all your needs.
I did a 8 days shared Safari. Awesome experience and met amazing people along the way.
The operator is recommended as they can tailor a safari to your need

SUPERB! OUTSTANDING!!
Warm-hearted!
The thing that struck me most about the safari experience with Go East Africa Safari (GEAS) is the personal touch of everyone. The staff (Dear Martha), the Guide cum Driver (the great Patrick), and the travel group, everyone was warm-hearted and welcoming. I didn't feel for a second that this is a business for them. Martha even accepted one of my personal requests. I bought a spare battery for my camera online and couriered it to her, she received it on my behalf and handed it over to me just in time!
Legendary Guide!
This is my third visit to Kenya and my second to Masai Mara. My earlier experiences are also good but this time it was great! The driver cum guide we had is a true legend. He knew exactly where to go and when to go for the best possible game drive experience. What amazed me is his idea for photography! He used to place his bus in a way that gave us the best possible views. He even understood the lights and their relation with the backgrounds. Most importantly, he is well known amongst locals. He is a very helpful and resourceful person. Dear Patrick, you are a true legend.
Value for Money
Like many, I was searching for a budget-friendly tour. And I knocked on 4/5 probable safari companies. Trust me, Martha offered me the lowest possible fare for a tour of 6 days. The experience I had, can't be weighed in bills! This is the best possible value-for-money safari experience anyone can have.
Good Luck
I wish, Patrick and the GEAS live long and keep up the good deeds. Anyone reading this review, I can assure you, if you book with GEAS, I can assure you will thank me later.

highly recommended budget safari
Giving that they dont have many references, I was a little bit afraid of booking with Go East Africa. But there is no need for that!
1 - I exchanged so many emails with Martha prior booking. She is very sweet and helpful lady who took care of us very well.
2 - they gave us very fair price
3 - they provide good services
We decided to combine several safaris in one bundle:
1. Safari in Kenya
- Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Crescent Island and Hells Gate
- traveled by safari van. In Maasai Mara, we slept in huge tents with beds and own bathroom. The rest, we spent in B&B
- food is OK, we always got some buffet where you could choose both, veg and nonveg. The picnic lunch includes some chicken, bread, egg, sweet drink, fruit, etc
- our driver/guide was very ambitious and always tried to steal the best viewing spot for us. We got to see the big five.
2. Safari in Tanzania
- we started in Arusha, proceeded to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro
- traveled by jeeps for 8 ppl, these are even more comfortable then safari vans in Kenya
- we slept in tents - the classical tents for camping but do not worry, it is actually very comfortable and convenient. You get a mattress and sleeping bag. There is a shared bathroom with hot water. There is also a public pool in the garden
- the food was delicious. We had our own chef who was cooking for us the whole time. We always got many dishes to choose from.
Overall, very good experience and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AGENCY

4 days Masaï Mara Lac Nakuru
An excellent agency that listens and serves their clients. I had a great experience starting with Marta who took the time to explain everything, to me to build confidence and also to help me with all the steps in Nairobi. Then James the driver is excellent, he has great experience as a safari pilot and his driving was great and not dangerous. From the first game we saw 3 of the 5 big fives and several other animals. It was wonderful. The second full day we saw all the animals. At the housing level the camp was clean and comfortable. Lake Nakuru was great we saw all the animals except the flamingos unfortunately. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. I recommend 200% the agency level quality / price it was perfect

Memorable moments at a fair budget
My safari adventures started in Tanzania. It was nice to see how Martha and John went out of their way to accommodate our requests and needs; especially because we were limited of time, and I was a quite demanding guest. Very attentive to my messages and the planning.
They subcontract Seven Wonders for the safaris in Tanzania; and as an overall experience, I second Jitka's review and sentiment.
Tanzania: safari jeeps (more suitable for the bumpy roads); no glamping here, you will tough it out camping in camp tents and sleeping bags (just make sure they're clean and not smelly); there are cold nights, so, if visiting during dry season, wear in layers. We visited Serengeti and Ngoro-Ngoro Crater. Loved the crater! Saw 4 of the big 5!
Kenya: Better lunches and accommodation than in Tanzania. Maasai Mara was phenomenal! Our tour guide outdid himself in giving us the Big 5! I would recommend Go East Africa Safari aka/Big Time Safari. Great experience for the Budget-conscious traveler!

Amazing tour of Kenya
I booked a budget 8 day tour of maasai mara, nakuru, naivasha and amboseli with my wife and 11 year old son. Go East Africa were amazing! Martha was incredibly helpful and was able to help us overcome several issues travelling to Kenya. Our guide, Jackson was a superstar and so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The whole experience was wonderful and I cannot recommend this company enough. We saw amazing sights including a cheetah making a kill, 4 male lions on a carcass, a cheetah with 4 cubs, numerous white rhinos and everything else you would hope to see and more. All at a fraction of the cost of a package holiday. If you're planning a safari dont book anything until you have talked to Martha at Go East Africa Safaris.

I would recommend this company to anyone
The tour itself was good to very good.
We had a very good experienced driver, he always gave tips for our safety.
100USD per day and person and all inclusive is not too much.
The service was not worse than expected.
You have to add about 15USD on average for some events.
We were very satisfied. It is recommended.
