Great guide
We took the 1-day hike with Taste of Afrika and everything worked just fine: our driver, John, picked us in Arusha. He was punctual, helpful and overall very nice. Our guide, Peter, was also a plus: he was funny and made the climb easier with his good mood.
Regarding the experience itself, we were expecting more of the climb and views - we got cloudy weather, which didn’t help.
Park entrance fees are perhaps a bit expensive for the one day tour, which brings the overall cost up too. But I’d recommend it anyway, if you’re planning a trip in the area - and, if so, Taste of Afrika will do the job just fine.

Review about Manyeleti Game Reserve by Helen Richardson
Beautiful park connected to the Kruger. Fantastic staff couldn't do enough for us. Brilliant setting for evening meals around the camp fire and delicious food. Lovely chalets with air con. All the sounds of the Bush at night with monkeys and hyenas right outside your door. Brilliant once in a lifetime experience.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Eduardo
The scenic beauty is a highlight, together with the huge number of elephants (they are everywhere). We also saw a lion, a leopard, giraffes...
Highly recommended to spend a night in this park, to make the most out of it, especially in the Mpingo Ridge to experience the sunrise over the valley, and having breakfast with the view.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Eduardo
The scenic is amazing, with the endless grass plains. It has a great animal diversity to offer, from the animals we saw: lions (many of them, cubs, hunting/eating, in small groups, a large families of 15 lions...), cheetahs, leopard, hippos, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodile... The list is long.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Eduardo
The incredible mix of animals and how they just hang out together makes it a very special place - special mention to the large number of lions and obviously the black rhinos (we saw above 10, even a couple mating).

Review about Ndutu by Eduardo
The great migration was in the area when we went (mid-December).

Amazing, exceeded all expectations
What an amazing time. The camp exceeded all expectations, the staff helpful and the facilities excellent (amazing chalets, showers and WiFi) but most importantly the wildlife danced for me. The road to the lodge was terrible, but the camp more than made up for it

Fantastic safari in a beautiful country
What a beautiful country! The people, weather, beaches, bush, cricket and the food was absolutely superb. We had a fantastic safari in the Kruger NP and really enjoyed our time in Cape Town. Cannot recommend the country as a holiday destination enough!

Honeymoon in the Northern Circuit
We did a one-week private safari in the northern circuit operated by eTrip, starting off from Arusha to Tarangire (one night at Lemala's Mpingo Ridge), Ndutu (one night at Safari Lodge), central Serengeti (two nights at Lemala's Ewanyan Camp) and Ngorongoro (two nights at Lemala's Camp). Both the itinerary and the accommodations were perfect for our honeymoon, very well located and with the perfect combination between comfort and Safari-vibe.
Given the time of the year, we had very green sceneries, and were able to experience the Great Migration first-hand in the southern Serengeti area, around Ndutu. We were lucky with the rain as well, as the road was mostly in good conditions and there were no areas without access.
In terms of wildlife, every location had something else and special to offer and we never stopped being amazed by it. Tarangire with the elephants and the Baobab trees, Ndutu with the migration, Serengeti with everything (tons of lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes...) and Ngorongoro with the rhinos. We highly recommend such an itinerary as it shows you different landscapes and is efficient in terms of transportation.
As for the tour operator, eTrip, everything was super well organized, we had no issues with the accommodations, our guide Victor was very nice and had an amazing eye to find animals very well hidden, they provided water every day, the binoculars were very useful... Also they showed to be very transparent with the rates, and very flexible to change the itinerary to our preferences, as well as going further ahead by recommending better accommodations for better rates they were able to get.
We're looking forward to plan our next safari.
