Our guide Omar made this trip amazing!
We had a fantastic safari for a week with our magic guide Omar who really made everything possible to make this vacation unforgettable. We have been traveling with our 9 years old kid who immediately enjoyed the trip as we started spotting 4 leopards on our first morning! Omar really pleased us making every our wish become reality and he has been working super hard in helping us to spot as many animals as possible as we mentioned since day 1 that we are simply in love with wild animals ! We also learned a lot from him from a cultural perspective and we also visited a Masai village. It was a great experience which we recommend to all especially if you are traveling with kids.

Very prompt and clear in communication
Great expertise with Nature travel Namibia - we booked our Kruger trip with them. Nadine was really helpful and prompt, whenever needed; and catered to our need considering we had a 5 year old kid with us.

Amazing trip
This is an amazing trip . My guide, Derrick, treats me like my bro. I'm not good at English, but he will let me know in various ways. I also saw gorilla and all kinds of animals in the trip. The five-day journey went very fast. I think I will miss Derrick and Uganda

A breathtaking, educational, and wildly fun adventure!
Dume Africa and Henry (our guide) were wonderful to work with on our safari vacation to Kenya and Uganda. Henry's unceasing knowledge of the wildlife we encountered added unexpected depth to our experience. His willingness to accommodate our more intricate needs and requests was similarly unwavering, and allowed all of us, regardless of physical ability, to enjoy Kenya. Beyond this, Henry was always in good spirits, whether it be a joke, a fun fact, or a compliment, he made sure every moment in Kenya was memorable. Please use Dume Africa if you are thinking about visiting Eastern Africa, you really can't do better.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience
I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Amazing Memories. From the very beginning, Nevill worked with us to tailor our safari to our budget and was very courteous and professional throughout the whole process, ensuring we got everything delivered exactly as we signed up for. Our safari guide Kim is one of a kind! He was very flexible, patient, informative and knowledgeable about the terrain, wildlife and kenyan culture and history. He is truly good at what he does and I hope many more families get the opportunity to go on safari with him. We experienced such a variety of wildlife over vast Maasai Mara terrain and the Mara river…from big cats, giraffes, hippos, elephants, hyenas and crocodiles to massive hoards of wildebeests to amazing bird species and so much more. Kim also took us on a couple cultural experiences with the Maasai people and tours of Lake Naivasha and the like. This was an experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait to do it again with Amazing Memories!

Memorable week
From the start, the Lion King team was helpful and accommodating. Although they were not the cheapest quite we received, we felt they listened and did the best job adapting their standard itinerary to our needs.
We chose a mix of game drives, cultural experiences and active options, visiting Serengeti Ngorongoro, and Tarangire parks, having a village tour and bike ride in Mtu wa Mbu, a stop at Olduvai gorge, a visit to the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes, and a day hike on Kilimanjaro. It was a good mix.
Our guide Jeffry was so nice and made sure we got to see everything in our plan. I especially loved the night in camp where we enjoyed dinner all together and he told us stories of growing up. Our son was complaining about missing Jeffry within an hour of the end of our tour :)
The places we stayed in the mid range package we're all lovely, although Nyota Camp was our favorite.
Would happily book with Lion King again.

Great safari experience for budget-friendly price
Our programme was 4 days option: visiting Masai village, then gaming in Mukimi NP and finally hiking in Udzungwa Mountains.
Participating in safari Going Green was a pure pleasure. Our host, Lenard, was very friendly and always helpful. He contacted us immediately after making a reservation and provided with details concerning programme.
The safari itself was amazing: seeing animals in their natural habitat is experience incomparable with anything else. And views during trekking in Udzungwa were absolutely breathtaking.
Do nor hesitate! If you wish to have good safari experience, book with GG.

Magical experience with Tanzania Explorer!
Our choice to go with Tanzania Explorer (TE) for our first safari trip could not have been better! Our only input was time available and “mid- range” budget, and from that TE’s Aleksander created a plan that turned out to be a total magical experience!
Flying from Dar to Kilimanjaro airport, we visited Lake Manyara park, Ngorongoro and Serengeti – and we would not change a thing if we should have done the same again.
All TE representatives, as well as the lodges we stayed in, went above and beyond all our expectations – everywhere we went the service was really heartfelt and their effort to make and keep you happy is really touching. The lodges, Pakulala, and Ansaja Moru and Asanja Grumeti were exactly to our taste - lovely comfortable camps with outstanding locations, superfriendly staff and very good and plentiful food. In addition, as a celiac depending on glutenfree food only, TE made sure this was in places for all lodges, and all sites handled it perfectly – and even with homemade glutenfree options!
Both in planning and follow-up,- the info was always clear and useful, and they were available at all times if any questions or other.
For the safari, we could not have been luckier or happier; we had the most fantastic guide in Joshua. So knowledgeable and calm and gave us every day a different game drive from the day before,- and all with extraordinary experiences and memories. He also made us feel that we were the only ones in the wild, especially in Serengeti.
The TE villa in Dar outskirt is also a very pleasant element,- with long flights, it was a supernice place to start and finish our adventure,- in the very good hands of both Joshua and the villa team with Anna, veronica, Augustino and the rest.
Part 2 of our journey was relaxing days at beautiful Zanzibar, at the wonderful Amani boutique hotel – with the same outstanding service! The Paje area is vibrant and fun, and with the tranquil location of Amani it was a perfect combination. Here too is a dedicated TE team ready to make the most out of your journey.
We are very grateful for this magical experience – thanks to TE with their expertise and warm personality, - they truly live to make your trip extraordinary.

Incredibly professional and knowledgeable
We had 2 all-day safaris with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris at the Kruger National Park.
Our guide, Remember, was prompt, courteous and provided warm blankets for us to use during the chilly early morning start to our excursions. He is exceptionally knowledgeable on all aspects of both the wildlife and the terrain and his commentary was not only informative but very funny! I’ll never forget “the ugly five” when we saw warthogs and hyenas 🤣🤣🤣
We were privileged to see ALL of the Big 5 too including the elusive white rhinos and a leopard after a kill. We had extremely close and exciting encounters with 2 lionesses and numerous herds of elephant and Cape buffalo! Utterly breathtaking!!
He was exceptionally kind and deeply concerned when our friends’ teenage son had a seizure in the safari vehicle while on our 2nd day out in the park and radioed ahead so we could be met by a closed vehicle to take us back to our resort earlier than expected.
This tour group is top notch and we couldn’t recommend them more highly!

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY ESSENTIAL WAY.
1.A one-of-a kind experience!
Ombeni was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed sharing Tanzanian and American gospel music with him.
He made sure we had plenty of food to eat both on our travels and at our hotel reservations, and was able to accommodate our diets.
He guided us through a busy market in Arusha to find clothing and spices, patiently teaching us Swahili and translating for us.
Along the tour, he made sure to give us time and opportunity for great pictures and was expertly skilled at spotting animals and wildlife from far away.
We felt safe at *all times* and that our luggage was properly secured within our van and hotels.
The highlight of this experience for me was being welcomed by a Maasai village and observing their customs, dance, and craftsmanship. We admire that Easy Travel supports these communities in giving clean water, money, and school supplies and we intend to donate through this agency.
When our flight changed unexpectedly, he helped us check-in, and drove us directly to the airport (4+ hours) fast and efficiently.
I would recommend Ombeni's service and Easy Travel to anyone interested in a life-changing experience. 10/10.
2.Outstanding. Knowledge, decency, hospitality unmatched in all of our life travels. Recommend without reservation.
Ombeni was a fantastic guide who made us feel at home on safari and treated us like family. He made sure to learn what each family member liked and showed the interest, respect and care any person would want. Voice Gerson managed our trip in the most professional and personal manner. Easy Travel eliminated most all of our travel worries so that we really did experience Hakunah Matada.
3.Trip of a lifetime
We had the trip of a lifetime! Our guide Ombeni was very experienced and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. We saw the BIG 5! Ombeni was an excellent driver and provided us with everything that we needed to enjoy long hours in the vehicle. After spending so many days with him we consider him part of our family. Voice Gerson of Easy Travel provided the best customer experience that I have ever had when planning a vacation. She and Ombeni ensured that our vacation was enjoyable.
