BEST SAFARI COMPANY!!
BEST SAFARI COMPANY!!
Without question, Easy Travel & Tours is the BEST Safari company to work with to design your dream safari! We are seasoned safari travelers and have used Easy Travel & Tours everytime, and will for our future safaris as well! Let them know exactly what you want and they will put an itinerary together that will work perfectly with your thoughts on what you want to see or do! ! Animals are unpredictable but their extremely experienced guides will more and likely find what you wish to see, or least try their best, and we have NEVER been disappointed! Safety is a priority with Easy Travel ( and with us) and we have always felt safe with the guides we were given. We have personally watched a few other safari companies break ethic rules with regards to the animals welfare, which bothered us greatly. We also saw another company get a ticket by a ranger for their clients sitting on top of the roof while driving. Our last guide Ally, was another gift from Easy Travel, and we feel he has become our lifetime friend as well. We also appreciated Kabwe for all her experience on helping us put together our great itineraries for everytime we visit Tanzania!! She is the best! We hope your safari to Tanzania will be as great as ours has been, and it will be, if you let Easy Travel & Tours be the Safari Company to use!

Great Safari with a great guide.
We booked a 5 days safari with Shammah Wonders safari. (Mikumi np, Udzungwa Mountains and Nyerere np and boat safari). The communication with Justine before the safari was verry well. Our guide was Selum and we had a great time during the safari. We saw a lot of different animals like Elephants, Lions, Buffalo's, Hippo's, Crocodiles, different types of Antilopes and more. The guide Selum was verry helpful and knows a lot of the animals and wildlife, when te tourists are happy he is also happy. The accommodation we stayed was camp Bastian Mikumi and Africa safari Selous. The food in both camps was verry tasteful. In camp Africa safari Selous we heard a lot of noise in the middle of the night and something was walking around our bungalow. When we went out of our bed and checked wat it was we saw 2 Elephants!!
I would everyone recommend this safari.
Selum thanks for the great safari

Safari 2
This was our second Safari with Utopia. In 2021 we went on Safari with Utopia and had Exaud as our guide. He was great in fact so good that we booked again with Exaud once again for August - September of 2022 . The experience was just as spectacular this time. I highly recommend Utopia and the guide Exaud or Chris who was his understudy.

The best in all of Africa ✨
Traveling with Exaud and his company is the best experience in all of Tanzania. In one week alone, he found 8 leopards and I was able to photograph my favorite animal easily. Exaud’s charisma is part of what makes this trip so great. He’s funny, is the best spotter and knows how to get the most out of any game drive. I’ve traveled with him for over 14 years and he’s the first one I call.

Our dreams come true and it was breathtaking
Incredible experience! If you hesitate stop it and book your safari trip with hyrax. Together with 2 friends we decided to choose 6 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli and lake Naivasha. The amount of animals we saw was undescribable. We saw big 5, hundreds of thousands antelope and zebras during the great migration. But the most incredible experience was view of 44 elephants walking thru dry Amboseli lake. Everything because our driver and guide Patrick! He knew everything, was very patient and he shares his love to wild life to us. Car was comfortable even when driving for 10 hours. We upgraded our accommodations and it was a great choise. Everyone during our trip were very friendly and helpful. This 6 days I will remember to the end of my life!

An exciting and pictureseque country with many problems.
Three days in Kruger National Park were memorable. The wildlife sightings were fantastic even the less popular animals. Any wildlife lover would not be disappointed. Unfortunately concerns about safety in various areas is always in the background.

Look no further if you are searching for the right one
5 stars is not enough.
I found Gosheni through word of mouth, and I am so glad I did. I had been making inquiries with other outfits that were bigger and had more branding, but felt I was just a number to those others. When I contacted Gosheni, I received a very prompt reply, and they assured me a private tour was within reach and very available. This was my first safari, so I had many questions about the process - the best time of year, the best length of time to get the most complete experience etc. Pendo did a wonderful job in designing my adventure, she stayed in contact with me through the whole decision -making process.
Jesse picked me up at the airport and delivered me to the first night in Arusha lodging venue. During the ride, he gave me a preliminary overview of what to expect over the next 8 days. First thing in the morning, Albert arrived to pick me up to start our adventure. We stopped off at the Gosheni compound where I met Margaret, had coffee, reviewed the itinerary, she advised me of a couple of upgrades in my lodging, and was given a logoed safari hat. It was so clear they all have a commitment to making their mission all about providing the most remarkable and memorable experience while you are visiting. They truly consider themselves ambassadors of the whole safari experience.
Albert, my guide was such a jewel. He has encyclopedic depth of knowledge of the animals, the flora & fauna, the history of the people and really knows the terrain. He always managed to position the vehicle for me to get the best shot. We had long days that were filled with magnificent animal sightings. We were never in a rush, if something unusual like a rhino in the Serengeti was near us – we went. We watched the Great Migration cross the Mara River in the north. We patiently waited for the actual crossing and miraculously, the herd passed right next to our vehicle when they popped up on our side. That was so amazing. Albert was also great at spotting animals with the naked eye that I needed my zoom lens to see. He was equally fabulous at using visual landmarks for me to find these animals.
Lunch was always a warm, prepared meal on a tablecloth with a glass of wine. The food was always abundant, fresh, flavorful and healthy. This was an distinct difference from the majority of others I noticed, who only had a brown bag or box lunch. I also had refrigerated water always available – this was so appreciated on those hot afternoons.
Accommodations were all very comfortable. I especially loved the tented camps. Acacia Migration Camp team came out to our vehicle and greeted us while singing. In the tented camps you hear the animals at night. I heard Hyenas, lions, and elephants and zebras throughout the night. Acacia Central Camp has fabulously large bathtubs, oversized tents, along with really soft sheets on the bed. They also light a fire pit for evening enjoyment, they call this “bush TV.” When it isn’t cloudy, you have an entire sky filled with stars. Maramboi was another favorite luxury tented camp.
This was a trip I will always hold close to my heart, and Gosheni really made it a sublime experience. I came home with 1200 pictures but was able to edit it down to 235 plus videos.

Safari Once More!
Solomon is like my uncle, he was our guide but he took good care of us. He knew everything about the park, animals, country, birds, and culture. He cleaned the car every day. We appreciate his effort to make our safari the best trip in my life!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We booked a 5 day safari at Suricata Safari for our 3 week trip around Tanzania and this was absolutely the highlight. We enjoyed every single minute in Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Our very professional and friendly guide Lewis spotted every single animal and explained a lot about the parks and the behavior of the animals. We saw the big five, as well as cheetahs with babies, leopards, zebras, giraffes, baboons, all kind of birds and many more. Our absolute highlight was the morning in Serengeti where we stayed at a beautiful tented lodge, where we could hear lions roaring, hyenas laughing and zebras eating at night. We’ve really never experienced something like this before. But of course all the other places where amazing as well! The food was delicious and there was also plenty of choice for us as vegetarians. All game drives were a lot of fun and our guide Lewis was an excellent driver and we enjoyed the conversations with him. The communication with Hilary was really good and he replied really fast. The whole Suricata team was very helpful and supported us even after our Safari. So if you‘re up to book a safari, Suricata is the right choice! Thanks for all the magical moments in the wilderness.
