Great experience!
My experience with eTrip was amazing. The crew was incredibly supportive, I felt completely prepared by the pre-trip communications, and while the trek was challenging, the experience was simple. They made it possible for me to feel capable of summiting and also enjoy the journey to get there. The supplies they provided were effective and the food was great - delicious, filling, warm and gave the energy needed to keep going. You could tell the porters we're proud of who they work for, happy, and willing to do anything necessary for my trek to be successful. I highly recommend eTrip to anyone considering this experience! I would even consider going again if eTrip is putting together my experience.

Excellent tailor made safari tour for a solo traveler
E-trip Africa arranged an excellent 15 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania. Ben Jennings and Aurelie (managers/owners) communicated with me in a timely manner and provided me with a tailor made itinerary that stayed within my budget. They were always receptive to any changes and made great suggestions for the trip.
The guides/drivers were knowledgeable and very professional and the lodges were superb. It was a great and memorable trip to East Africa and I would highly recommend them

Planning, lodging, game parks/reserves and guide knowledge/friendliness all exceeded our expectation
E-Trip worked with us to plan the trip we wanted, often going the extra mile. With their experience, they offered suggestions to enhance.
Upon arrival, everything ran like clockwork. The knowledge of each country's guide was much appreciated. Each worked to find animals and situations where we would see all of the natural splendors of East Africa.
Lodging per our preferences was also very good. Each site staff was pleasant and accommodating. Food was ample and tasty.
We are so glad to have selected E-Trip as our coordinating company. Not being fond of tours, we hoped instead for a personal experience - one not burdened with boilerplate activities and unenthusiastic guides. E-Trip delivered a trip of a lifetime with great memories of people we met, lodging to remember and experiences that were just awesome!

Provided wonderful planning assitance with thorough and timely respones all at a very fair price.
Working with Ben and Aurelie was a great experience. As independent travelers, we had specific ideas about where we thought we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Their on-the-ground knowledge and experience gave us relevant insight and guided us through the whole process. Their suggestions were spot on and made for a great trip. Timely responses and detailed info was routine. And, the price was better than most packaged options.

Mesmorizing safari
Everything was organized perfectly by e-trip Africa, from the airport pickup to the dropoff, and everything in between. We stayed at Governor's camp in Masai Mara, which was one of a kind. E-Trip Africa really made this a superb experience.

Highly Recommended
We had a great trip over 2 weeks with etrip covering tarangire, ngorongoro, central Serengeti, lobo and northern Serengeti. I was particularly impressed with the communication and organisation both before and during the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend etrip.

Outstanding service and attention to details to an affordable price.
This was my second time letting E-trip handle my custom made safari. As a photographer I am very picky about details and I was surprised how well E-trip handled all my special requests. Everything from camps, drivers and flight arrangements were taken care of with the utmost attention and service quality. There is a jungle of safari tour operators out there of a varied level of quality. Being a photographer who is in Africa twice a year, with very high demands, it is a huge help having E-trip taking care of all my arrangements.They make my life so much easier.
Can't recommend enough!

All around great trip!
We worked with Ben to plan our African safari with priorities on Rwanda gorilla trek and Kenya wildebeest migration. Ben was great to work with, allowed us to customize based on our budget needs, and always was available via email with questions or problems that arose before and during the trip. In planning our trip, we looked at proposals from 4 other operators and were very pleased with our experience through E-Trip Africa. Most of the other trips were thousands of dollars more with limited lodging selections and planned itineraries. We found E-Trip Africa to be very flexible and personalized....kudos to the staff, highly recommended!

No Moses- No Safari
My wife and I very much enjoyed our trip to Africa! It was due, in no small part to the efforts of Ben and our guide and driver Moses! The before trip section was handled expertly by Ben and he was always there, at the other end of the email, to answer all my OCD questions. I had a couple of issues with the immigration visa, I arrived the day before everything changed and I think I was the first Visa ever issued; and Ben walked me through the frustrations. We had a delightful time and had only one small issue. Ben resolved the issue immediately and I would book another trip with him in a heartbeat.
However, the heart and soul of the trip was our driver Moses! He was so kind and worked so hard to see that our trip was a once in a lifetime experience. The only thing I can say is: "Next time- No Moses- No trip!" I am sure that all the other guides that work for Ben are of equal caliber, but my money is on Moses.
Be very open with Ben about what you want and do not want. He is looking for guidance from you to help plan the trip. If you don't know something- ask. He will create a trip just to your liking.
