Easy Travel made this the Best Vacation Ever!
We had an INCREDIBLE safari experience and trip to Tanzania all thanks to Freddy, our Easy Travel Safari Guide and Norah with Easy Travel. A friend recommended Easy Travel and our Safari Guide Freddy and we are SUPER glad that he did that. From the beginning, Norah was super helpful and answered ALL of our questions. (We had a lot.). She would check in with us and followed up to make sure we had the correct paperwork and information to make it into the country easily. Norah even checked in with us by phone halfway through our safari, which was very thoughtful and hospitable.
The moment we landed in Tanzania, it was Hakuna Matata. Freddy picked us up from the Airport and brought us to our hotel. We didn’t have to worry about a thing once we arrived in Tanzania. Easy Travel took care of all the driving and logistics for us, which was very helpful. We met daily to discuss wake up time and agenda for the next day. Freddy even taught us basic Swahili vocabulary words to make our trip better. Our Safari experience would not have been the same without Freddy. We would not have seen all the animals we did without Freddy’s safari experience. He knew where to look for animals and was in constant communication with his colleagues to make sure we were able to see hard to find animals.
We saw more animals than we dreamed we would see. We saw the Big 5 within our first two days of the safari. We saw MANY groups of lions and lion cubs, a leopard, two groups of cheetahs (one group had cheetah cubs), a white rhino and a black rhino, many elephants and babies up close, giraffes up close, zebras and wildebeast migrating, hippos and babies, two Nile Crocodiles, pink flamingos, caraca cat (hard to find), hyenas, warthogs, jackals, vultures and so much more. The Safari vehicle (Toyata Land Cruiser) was very comfortable and perfect for view the animals from the pop top roof.
We stayed at the Tortilis camps during our Safarj and I cannot say enough good things about the hospitality we experienced there. Everyone was so kind, friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend staying at all of the Tortilis camps during your safari!
We also did the guided day hike to Mt Kilamanjaro through Kestra with Easy Travel. It was a fun hike. Kestra was great guide and taught us a few things about the rainforest and Mt Kila along the way. He carried our lunches and rain ponchos and completed all the paperwork for us. Would recommend Kestra as a Day Hike Guide!
Thank you SO much for the trip of a lifetime. We will be recommending Easy Travel and Freddy, Norah and Kestra to all of our friends and family!

Great Safari Adventure
We arranged a 3 day / 2 night safari with Rhys. We were picked up on time at our ship and taken to the border where we were met by Wayne of Endless Summer. We transferred to his vehicle and proceeded to Kruger. We really didn’t know what to expect but the lodge we stayed in worked out to be really nice. The first day we did the afternoon safari with the lodge. We were amazed at the number of animals we saw. Returning to the lodge we were surprised that Wayne, our driver, was also our chef. He had made a beautiful barbecue of beef, lamb and pork. The next morning at 5.00am, Wayne had made coffee for us and we set off with him ( just 4 of us) for our own private tour of that section of Kruger. Wayne was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the park. We had a good breakfast at a restaurant and continued with the tour until 1.00pm. We had some free time until our lodge organized sunset safari. Another great tour followed by another wonderful meal made by Wayne. The following morning, if you can call 3.30 am morning we got up for the 4.00 am lodge safari. Another great tour, followed by another of Wayne’s culinary masterpieces. We left the lodge around 10.00 am for the drive to Johannesburg airport. We had only gone about 5 miles when we ran into a small traffic jam. To our absolute delight there were 5 or 6 lions lying in the middle of the road refusing to move, an amazing sight. The trip to Johannesburg was smooth and we arrived in good time for our flight. If you are thinking of a safari, you won’t find a better run outfit that Endless Summer.

Incredible and Unforgettable experience
From our first email exchange with Emperor Safaris, we had a wonderful experience. All of our inquiries were swiftly addressed, and we had complete confidence in the company's ability to handle our travel arrangements.
We definitely suggest this firm and without forgetting an amazing driver, Mr. Khalifa, who was great and made our vacation more enjoyable with his expertise, friendliness, and professionalism.

Moses was fantastic; He is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates great.
The tour was a good time. Pick up was on time from hotel and then took me to the office in Nairobi to pay. Once everyone arrived we were off! We made frequent stops for interesting views, shops and food. While the drive is long and sometimes bumpy, it is good to see so much of the landscape. I stayed at the Enkorok and I think it was great. The tent had everything needed for a the stay with hot water and consistent electricity. My tent had a view of the landscape which made it so much better. Staff was kind and attentive. The food was mostly Kenyan which is good for foreigners to try. It is a quick drive to the park and one can start seeing animals right away! Moses had a great eye for spotting animals and made sure that everyone had a chance to have a good look. He also went above and beyond and took some members of my group out for a sunrise drive which was beautiful. If you have been on safari before, I think going to lake Navasha is nothing special but if you have not its good to see rhino and a couple other animals. The accommodation at lake navasha was fine for the night but not as great as the Enkorok lodge.

Very kind and helpful, but also a bit costly.
Very kind and helpful team. The safari is a bit costly, but the team helps you out in if there is any problem! Very easy and transparent communication!

Tanzania with Easy Travel is a must!
Short review: These are wonderful people who do an amazing job and there’s no way anyone else is better at what they do.
Long Review: I’ve been fortunate enough to do a lot of things. Shark diving, see the Roman Colosseum, see Machu Picchu, but none of that compares to how amazing this trip was. It was a trip of a lifetime that started with amazing communication with Norah. No matter how many questions we asked and changes we made, she was accommodating the entire time. She also followed up several times to see how we were doing and made sure it was a spectacular time.
For the safari itself, Freddy was our safari guide, and he was the best. He was incredibly nice, helped us learn some Swahili, answered 100’s of questions and made sure we felt like special. Freddy’s a humble guy who sacrifices a lot to make sure his guests leave loving his country. There’s no way we would have seen the big 5 without him. His knowledge of the parks coupled with his driving skills and working the radio, resulted in us getting up close to a lot of things we didn’t expect to see.
We saw so much stuff:
multiple monkeys (blue and velvet) and baboons
Bush buck
elephants everyday
Heards of buffalo
wart hogs
Giraffe everyday
Zebra and impala everyday
Leopard
Multiple Lions and cubs
Hyena
Hippo
Migrating wildebeest
ostrich
leopard
Lots of unique birds
Jackles
Topi
Turtle
6 cheetah’s
Caracal cat - Special cat hard to find
Serval cat
Pink flamingos
Black Rhino
And so much more
The safari vehicle has Wi-Fi which was great for sharing pictures and staying in touch. It didn’t work all the time because the parks are fairly isolated but it was frequently in use and nice to have.
On our last day, we hiked to the Mandara Hut on Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide was Kester, who did a great job. He set the expectations the night before and carried our lunches. He also gave us some info along the hike. The hike itself was pretty and we saw some monkeys.
Overall, I’d highly recommend going to Tanzania if you want an amazing experience and you should book it through Easy Travel Tanzania. You should also ask for Freddy to be your guide. You won’t be disappointed.

Rada provides a unique experience outside the beaten paths with mind-blowing nature experience
Rada took me, my husband and my German family to Murchinson Falls. The driver was excellent; always on time, very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us enough room for privacy as well. The lodge selected was off the beaten paths and we experienced amazing customer care on a rather small budget and a lot of privacy because of few other guests. The breakfast and Dinner was great and we enjoyed a Bonfire every night. The staff of the lodge gave us a sneak peak into their culture and performed dances and music for us and told us some traditional stories. We did 3 game-drives and Moses the driver knew is way around very well. We were hardly seeing other cars and were lucky to see lions on every game-drive. The communication with the company and the driver was easy and very reliable. All in all, we highly recommend a tour with Rada Safaris and the entire experience was definitely worth the money.

Efficient and high quality service for a great experience
The booking process went well with a detailed offer, a quick reaction on our questions and updates. Clare was very reactive and professional.
We have asked for a French speaking guide and we were not disappointed. Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive, punctual and very nice.
We had no bad surprise with the lodge booking. Service was excellent, places were amazing and our stay have been great. Our safari experience was top class. We enjoyed a lot.
