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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Great budget safari
I booked this safari with my boyfriend. We did a 5 day tour through Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. This was an incredible experience. We did camping and were very happy with the price. The vehicle, tour guide and food was all perfect. We also added the Materuni waterfall and coffee tour which was nice but a bit of long drive. Overall was an amazing trip.

Amazing nature experiance
We took a 2 day trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The price was managable, the services (Food and accomodations) were really good and also gave the authentic Tanzania experience. The tour guide was well informed and talkative, so we learned a lot. The safari vehicle we rode was up to standards comfortable and drove well in harsh terrain. Tarangire is beautiful, and packed with animals to observe. Ngorongoro on the other hand is a true wonder. Every kilometer is different in animals topography and general view. It is truly a wold shattering wondrous sight. It was a marvelous trip.
