Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Lisa van der Hoek
Masai Mara was by far the best park to visit on our trip. The park is rather flat, making it easy to leave paths at times; to see some special animals. Lots of lions, elephants, zebras, antilope etc. A great park where one can truly see so much. Definitely recommend this park to anyone going for the first time, but even if you're an avid safari-goer, this park is a beautiful landscape.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Lisa van der Hoek
Lake Nakuru is beautiful, specifically because of how non-tourist focused it is. Most animals were seen from quite a distance. The park is a Rhino sanctuary, but don't expect these big fellows to cross the road in front of you. After a long day, we eventually found a group a couple of 100 meters away from us, which is magic on its own.
Seeing the animals actually be free; very few cars, roads and lots of freedom; is a great experience that one should not miss.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Lisa van der Hoek
Amboseli is well-known for its abundance of Elephants. We got to see lots of them, roaming around the swamp, which was a beautiful sight. The recent draughts were clearly visible due to the amount of uneaten carcasses across the park; makes one think about its ecological footprint during such a trip.
Amboseli is rich in its beautiful nature, elephants, birds and buffalo. A truly beautiful park that, if you're lucky, provides great picture opportunities with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

Amazing wild life and nice people
This is my second time in Tanzania, arrived to Dar es Salaam. I stayed outside city centre for 1 night, Blackwood hotel is quaint little 5 star hotel which was comfortable after a long flight! My experience was positive from landing, took an airport taxi and he was our go to driver through our whole stay. Very nice, efficient and standard pricing that was agreed. Flew to Kilimanjaro to do the safari. Serengeti, Tarangire, lake Manyara and ngorongoro. The wildlife is amazing, we saw all the animals we wanted to see, Zebras, Antelopes, Lions, cheetah, giraffes, hippos, rhino, wildebeest, monkeys and elephants. Staying on campsite overnight was definitely an experience. The weather in December is hot and cool at night. Would also say Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari club Did an amazing job. There was a lot of travel between national parks but generally the roads were smooth only within the game parks which is expected. We stayed at a few lodges, all outstanding and a couple of hotels in Dar es Salaam which we’re comfortable. Most importantly, people were very polite and helpful which made Tanzania much more enjoyable.

It exceeded my expectations
Despite reading that December might not be the best month, we have had a great time.
The weather has been great, it only rained a couple of times during the night.
Nairobi is a mix of old and new, poverty and wealth, a painful clash.
The scenery and wildlife are unbeatable, especially if you spend the nights in tented camps and mix with the locals.
The road network is complicated and the traffic is a major issue. It takes way longer than expected to move from a to b. Double the time that Google maps tells you.
The only downside: merchants insist too much with selling items to tourists at extortionate rates, steer away from the "curio shops" and be prepared for maasai women standing outside park entrances asking for money - whilst it is understandable that they need to make a living, it becomes uncomfortable after you had to say no a million times.

Easy Travel & Tours Ltd, the most relievable.
I have been lucky enough to travel to 5 different continents and to a handful more countries using a multitude of travel agencies. But, Lizbeth Gabriel from Easy Travel & Tour is a cut above the rest. She personally curated a 6-day safari for us in the Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Ndutu, and Tarangire NPs. From the moment we touched down in Africa she welcomed us with open arms and took the time out of her busy schedule to greet us personally on the first day we were in Arusha. Thereafter, she checked in with us every day during our safari to make sure everything was taken care of for us.
Our guide was Ombeni Moses. He is well knowledgeable about all the parks and animals within Tanzania, and educated us about the local culture and tribes throughout this beautiful country. HIs humor, passion and love for his work and country are sure to make for an amazing time in his jeep. He even taught us how to speak a little bit of his mother tongue, Swahili (i.e. Pole Pole, Asante sana, Karibu, Poa Poa, etc.). My wife, my three kids, and myself had the most amazing experience with Ombeni and consider him to be part of the family.
I HIGHLY recommend using Easy Travel and asking for Lizbeth and Ombeni to take care of your trip. Tanzania is the most beautiful country and I hope you are lucky enough to visit the tremendous places we did. The people and the country are so grateful for travelers and it shows each and every day with their high spirited and ever smiling personalities.
