Clear communicators, great value and amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with this company on a 6-day safari in February. The communication from the very beginning with Fiona Grace was outstanding - she was very responsive and answered all of my questions clearly and quickly. I was initially concerned about finding a safari company that would be suitable for me as a solo female traveller, so I was very happy to support this female-led business! I felt safe on this trip and would recommend it to any other solo travellers. Our driver and safari guide was incredible, knowledgable and funny. As a vegan, I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat much during the trip, but all the camps were accommodating and I never went hungry! I felt this safari was extremely good value for money, there were always options for upgrades and a choice of accommodation to suit everyone. The company even went out of their way to ensure I got one of the specially printed safari hats and dropped it off at my hotel before I flew home. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely use them again! Thank you Fiona Grace and team <3

seamless, personalised, 100% marvelous
i contacted several companies and chose East Africa Safari Tours dues to the responsive, personalised approach. My trip was individualised to match my requests, budget and time frame. last minute changes were no problem and East Africa Safari Tours bent over backwards to ensure my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to me nearest and dearest. Yes, they are new (ish) and there are few reviews available but don't let that put you off. I had a wonderful trip which was full of things to see and do, food was great, transport reliable and comfortable. go for it!

An Experience to Cherish
After vising Kenya, I do not feel the need to go anywhere else to experience wild life. Masai Mara was amazing. Watched Giraffes & Zebras for the first time from close quarters. Was lucky to see a pride of 12 to 15 lions together. Hippos were in abundance in & around the Mara river. The herds of huge tuskers in Amboseli & Tsavo was lovely. Enjoyed Mombasa, its colonial history & the Pristine beaches. In a nut shell, it was amazing experience to cherish for a lifetime.

Two nights tented trip with 11 & 15 years old in Moremi
Getting in and out Moremi from/to Maun used lot of first and last day. In hindsight we should have booked 3 nights. On other hand we stayed overnight in Maun before and after safari, which was correct decision - we did cross Namibian border with rental car before and after.
We saw lot of animals and the guide did excellent job looking for them. He did also lessen us and tried show different things - not only drive after the big 5. The team did communicate well with us, even with kids. We got everything agreed and more.
The camp was functional and food was tasty - importantly kids liked it. I can recommend this highly - expensive, but worth every pula.

Amazing country, wonderful people, unforgettable experience
All the things you've seen in documentaries when you're a child, is possible in Tanzania. It's absolulety great have the opportunity of watching a cheetah teaching her puppy how to hunt a gazelle, or lions for everywhere. But it's not only the incredible animals;: it's the global esence of the landscape, of the authenticity of natural wildlife. To sum up: unbelievable and extraordinary.

Amazing Wildlife, beautiful hotels and fantastic friendly guides
Tanzania really is the perfect place for a holiday. You can combine superb safari time with a trip to Zanzibar to enjoy snorkelling in the Indian Ocean.
Every hotel we stayed in was out of this world - and we weren't staying in the best ones. Highlights were the amazing tented camp in the Serengeti, the Marera Valley Lodge and the suberb hotels on Zanzibar - Tembo Hotel in Stone Town and the Mahali Zanzibar by the beach in Paje.
We felt happy and well looked after on every day. Our guide, Karim, from Ozon Light tours drove us round for the whole of a 5-day safari. He was amazing - knowledgable, great fun and incredibly hard working. Each area had its own unique characters and beauty, but all had loads of wildlife. We saw lions in trees and beautfiful elephants at Manyara, loads of cheetah, lion and the incredible wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, stunning views at Ngorongoro with flamingoes and a hyena kill as highlights and then more lovely elephants and baobab trees in Tarangire. The birds everywhere were also superb - particularly the Superb Starlings ;)
And don't feel worried about booking your trip with a local Tanzanian tour operator. Everything was arranged perfectly and we had great communication with the tour company while planning the trip, after we'd booked, while were there, etc. We were able to make the trip bespoke to our dates and wants, transport was there exactly when they said it would be, the hotels they recommended were all amazing and good value and it worked out a lot cheaper than if we'd booked with a UK company that just add on their own margin. Tanzania is geared around giving tourists a great holiday and it is succeeding with this in every way.

Wild, welcoming and beautiful!
Tanzania has been a great surprise, wonderful scenes, wildlife, warm and welcoming people and good structure for tourists accommodation. Serengeti is definitely the best park to see wildlife in their true habitat, such a huge open space with so many possibilities of sightseeing, Ngorongoro crater is also very unique, we were happy to see a rhino and such a beautiful landscape. Tarangine was a bit smaller, but we were able to see a lot of wildlife too. After the Safari, we went to Zanzibar for some relaxing time and the beaches are paradisiac and beautiful, I will totally recommend to do both this experiences. We love Tanzania and we recommended and we plan to go back when we have kids.

Raymond went above and beyond to give us the best safari experience.
We booked a 5 day Maasai Mara trip. Tabitha assisted us with our booking and was quick to respond and advise on any questions. The tour was well organised and the itinerary well structured with various fun activities. Raymond, our experienced tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Mara and other nature reserves we went to. He knew where all the spots were to get the best pictures of the wildlife and have a great experience. He was friendly and very helpful.
