Cannot go wrong with Easy Travel. Highly recommend!
Where to start, it was all incredible! Communication with the main office was great through booking and on tour, very responsive and informative. We did 5 days between tarangire, serengenti and ngorogoro and I cannot recommend it more. Our guide Adrian was brilliant! 20 years experience, friendly, helpful, good company and so knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to fit the day plan for us. He chatted openly and honestly on everything from local culture, his training and family etc. - my girlfriend and I are honoured to have got this time with him. He often took us on separate routes to the big crowds and we saw the big 5, cheetahs, Hippos and so many more up close. My previous safari was in Botswana and Zambia and this one definitely won both on the animal sighting and experience by Easy Travel. Everything from packed lunches, bathroom stops, general request and comfort were all looked after with no hassle. My only tip is to stop reading any more reviews and book this one.

Wonderful
Without a doubt the most incredible experience we have ever had. We saw the Big 5 and more. Literally all our dreams came true during this unforgettable trip.
Everything was arranged so well, the places we stayed exceeded all our expectations and we have never met such friendly people. A huge thank you to Frank for making our week such a succes. He made sure all was taken care of, everyone was happy and that we spot all the animals we wanted to see. We were even lucky enough to see a caracal, 5 rhinos, a sleeping lion in the tree, leopards and 10 cheetahs all thanks to Frank good eyes. The roads where pretty harsh but Frank incredible driving skills made us feel more than safe. He was not just our tour guide but treated us like family. We would recommend Ozon light tours to anyone and if we ever come back we would choose them again. If you are going to Tanzania, it is worth every penny. Hakuna matata

Wow. A 7 day tour that was full of adventure, animals and excitement
I booked a week tour with Native Africa just 3 weeks before I headed to Uganda. This was a solo trip so I was a little apprehensive but this was the best decision and it really was one of the best holidays of my entire life. Wow Uganda is an absolutely beautiful country. Within a week we saw gorillas, chimpanzees, lions (killing and eating a buffalo), hippos, elephants and more. And this coupled with a friendly tour guide, fun (long) car journeys and excellent food. There are lots of long drives but the scenery is so beautiful and constantly changing and you take in the local way of life so I never felt bored.
As a solo female traveller I was instantly put at ease and I can honestly say I didn’t feel in danger or at risk once during my trip.
My tour guide was Johnson was excellent, he is kind, calm, fun and informative. Being just one person with one tour guide could have been awkward but he is good at figuring out the level of interaction you want for different types of people. He shared the local music with me for the car journeys and we had a lot of fun during the weeks tour.
The booking process was also very smooth and friendly. I reached out to enquire with my dates and some small preferences of what I was looking to do and very quickly the owner Chris came back with a proposed itinerary. He answered any questions I had quickly and put me at ease and we changed some of the plans together through simple discussion. For example of the accommodation looked a bit too budget for me so I suggested we upgrade slightly and this was also quick simple and easy. We also changed the order of the itinerary as the gorillas I had heard to be strenuous and I didn’t want to do that straight away after a long haul flight.
He also guided me through the visa process and what I needed to take with me for the trekking.
Everything we did was incredible but the gorilla trek was a real highlight. 9 hours trekking through the forest and seeing the gorillas roaming the mountains in action is something I will never forget. Be prepared this gets precarious at times!!! (Not the gorilla proximity but the trek through the impenetrable forest)

Best Safari + Best Your Guide = Memorable Experience
I have never been on a safari before but I’m so glad I chose to go with Karibu Safaris kenya. I went with a group of interns (we all work for same company) so this was a great bonding experience for us. We pretty much saw every animal we hoped for and thanks to our versatile and entertaining driver Raymond, we were able to get some beautiful photos of the animals on our two game drives. Thank you Raymond!

Review about Mikumi National Park by Caroline
We were able to see everything except for the elusive leopard
Small size of park made it easy to find and view wildlife from good vantage points

AMAZING BREATHLESS COUNTRY WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIGS TO IMPROVE
I never expected how much and deeply this country impressed us.
We have been for two weeks in Nairobi, Massai Mara Nakuru Naivasha Hell´s Gate Mombassa Diani Beach, and Lamu.
No words to describe all the wild beauty of the country
Six National parks, big five, ugly five, elephants orphanage, and giraffe orphanage, snake park...
We meet people Massai and Kikuyu and are with them (out of the tourist ambiance) and speak with foreign residents from Italy Spain and England.
We read the history of the country and visited Nairobi's museums where our guide explain us much more than a book.
We feel very safe
But, it's so obvious that the country needs to improve a lot of things in order to attract tourism to visit this impressive beautiful, and historical country beyond visiting national parks.
Roads, trains, unexisting public transport, cleaning and appearance of the cities and beaches (look at the capital)
Nonetheless, I'll be back the soon as I can

Great place for holiday
We spent 12 days in tanzania, we took a fantastic tour with kihindo safaris ( amazing tour company) and visited mikumi national park, we found loads of wildlife( elephants, lions giraffes etc) . mikumi is relatively small , however this makes it a great place to easily spot wildlife. We stayed at camp bastion which was very comfortable and had a lovely ambience.
We also spent time on the beach at kendwa in Zanzibar, staying in La Fontana guesthouse- great place with delicious food and close to a geogeous beach.
We travelled by road and ferry,the roads on the mainland ( main Rd from Dar es Salaam to mikumi) was quite terrifying, with crazy trucks and mad over taking, the Ferry port was also quite an experience- very chaotic and aggressive porters ( be firm , hamg on to your bags and tell them you ll carry them yourself) however the ferry journey itself was comfortable, we travelled on economy tickets and this was absolutely fine, plenty of space and comfortable seats.
I would encourage anyone to spend some time in Tanzania, friendly , kind people ( except for the porters haha) and a fantastic vibe, we would definitely visit again

Superb Safari
Safari in different areas is worthwhile.
Masai and Amboseli are both brilliant and work visiting. Amboseli in particular is amazing for the volume of hippos and elephants.
Lake Nakuru was great for watching the rhinos, flamingos.
Hell's gate was a little disappointing.
I loved Tsavo West - thick grass/bushes, red soil - so different from other areas, yet good wildlife, and we finally saw a leopard ! Not as much wildlife as other areas, but still enjoyable. It is a bit more of an adventure.
Make sure you take new $100 bills (2017), as the old ones (1999) are sometimes not accepted!
Early starts are worthwhile on safari.

Very knowledgeable & kind tour guides and helpful tour operators!
Great communication in the lead up to the trip, and very kind staff - from the driver who picks you up, to the staff you meet at the lodge, and the safari drivers are excellent and super knowledgeable and kind - to make sure you see as many of the big 5 as possible! Great experience - thank you.
