Excellent safari experience with Easy Travel
We had been thinking about going to Africa for several years but it was daunting to find a good safari operator and wondering whether to go to Kenya or Tanzania. After reading the reviews on Trip advisor this September we chose Easy Travel as our safari operator, and very happy to say that the ease with which the company handled all our many questions, payments etc. was very smooth and easy indeed. Their prices were also pretty reasonable, they were willing to work with us, even arranging for vegetarian food for 6 safari days.
We chose a private safari visiting Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngrongoro crater. We were met at the airport by our guide Ombeni, some part of our luggage did not arrive, but when it did arrive Easy Travel managed to reach it to us somewhere on the road to Serengeti. Ombeni was amazing at spotting wild life, very patient and knowledgeable about the wild life. Our trip would have fallen flat without him. We learnt a lot about Tanzania, it’s people and culture thanks to Ombeni.
All the accomodations were very good, at Arusha we stayed at the African Tulip, in Tarangire at the Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, in Manyara at the Lake Manyara Tented Safari Camp, in Serengeti at the Tanzania Bush Camp and finally at the Acacia Lodge in the Crater. The most memorable was our stay two night stay at the Tanzania Bush Camp right in the heart of Serengeti. One can hear the animals calls in the night and wake up to seeing herds of wildebeest and buffaloes walk by our tented cabin…… unforgettable. We had a sampling of authentic Tanzanian food at a visit to a village near Tarangire which was part of the safari package. Unfortunately the most disappointing part of the safari was the Ngrongoro crater game ride. On this particular morning there was not much wild life to see, but that sometimes is the way it is. On the whole a fantastic safari experience with Easy Travel….. really a trip to remember a life time!

“Uganda Unbeatable circuit safari “in the National Park circuit with Charis Uganda Safaris
I and my six home boys living in the US; set out to take for a months’ vacation in our motherland; I called up an old friend Gloria, who famished us with all the information on time; we zeroed to a 30 days tour which journeyed us through National parks - Kibale National Park via Albertine escarpment, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Bunyonyi, Mt Elgon- Sipi Falls; adventure in Jinja, Islands, city tour, religious tour, Uganda though geographically a small country yet very stunning with big peculiar scenic spots, rolling hills, fresh water lakes and rivers, captivating mountain landscapes, astonishing flora and fauna, varied cultures, vast wildlife, friendly people and above all good climate with tropical sunshine that makes it green almost throughout the year!
We concluded that this is the safari suitable for holiday makers who want to get a deeper insight into the current positive image of Uganda and enjoy a final untouched natural destination. Come and taste, see, smell, touch and share this beauty with friends. Family, colleagues.
Indeed Uganda is that virgin jungle that is worth visiting; who better than Charis Uganda Safaris to put together your “unbeatable circuit safari”. This company is so amazing, with very knowledgeable staff from office to field; however there is need to book in advance.

We took this amazing tour with Hennie Becker our tour guide and it was a once in a lifetime experience. The company was excellent, the food was soooooo good (loved the cooking over the open fire), the wine was out of this world! and the activities were extremely well organized. We experienced things we just read about in fancy magazine articles. Coming from Canada we love "our" Niagara Falls, but the Victoria Waterfalls have a magic that silenced us all. Thanks to Hennie and his crew for catering to all our needs - we would like to have you as a tour guide again and we will definitely tell our friends about this wonderful experience.

Beyond the value
It was excellent game safari with Shinzelle safaris. My friends and I did enjoy every moment of the journey. Brandon and Danielle works very very hard to make our holiday comfortable and pleasant. We felt the couple love this job and have all enthusiasm to make their guests happy. Well done!

Great Company
I would definitely recommend Kilimanjaro Brothers. We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro using the 8 day Lemosho Route . We found the guides and porters fantastic and the meals were very good. The guides would always make sure we were eating enough and to always go pole pole so we would acclimatise well to reach the top of Africa, and we did it YEH!!! Thanks Kilimanjaro Brothers.
They would always reply to our emails and there were many of them. When it came to payment we had a few concerns but in the end everything was good.

Awesome Safari
I have to praise John and his team. They worked with us throughout to make our trip the best possible. They picked us up in Thika and returned us to the same. This kept us from having to get a hotel room in Nairobi. James, our guide, arrived promptly at 7:00 on Saturday and was very accommodating all along. When there was a problem with the vehicle that delayed the beginning of our Saturday safari drive, he made up for it by starting one hour earlier in Sunday. All the guides worked well together to make sure we saw as much game as possible. In all, we saw 10 cats on the Sunday drive!! Can you say, "Awesome" . I will recommend ACZ to others. Thank you

An unforgettable Safari experience
Our hole trip was very good organised and beautiful.
Some points, which we particularly liked:
- well prepared, punctually, kind and funny guides, competent answers on the tours and safaris
- good accomodations
- very fast and kind answers from the contact person
- the visits in Zimbabwe at the village and at the school were very impressively. If we knew, we had brought a few small gifts for the children.
Thank you :-)
