Amazing safari, great travel company
I used Easy Travel to setup a Kilimanjaro climb and safari with my daughter and then a trip to Zanzibar and another safari with my wife. This review is the safari with my daughter.
We did a 7 day Wildebeest Migration Safari. The first night was in Arusha getting settled we then left on safari and visited Ndutu, the Central Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crater.
We had a private safari jeep with a guide/driver for the entire safari. The jeep had a pop top and we could stand up in it and a clear 360 view around the jeep. They provided binoculars as well in the jeep and wifi also. The jeep was ideal for the safari and very comfortable especially since there were only two of us and the guide.
Our guide’s name was Omari. He was fantastic. I don’t know how he did it but he was able to spot all different kinds of difficult to see animals while driving the jeep on rough dirt roads. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, many types of antelopes and gazelles, wart hogs, jackals, hyenas, mongooses, a black rhino, hipos, crocodiles, baboons, monkeys, an amazing number of birds and many other animals. A couple of the special moments were watching a group of lion cubs playing together; on another day seeing a less than 1 month old lion cubs (eyes still closed) nursing on their mother; and another was while watching to lions they came over and laid down under the back of the jeep for shade with only their tails sticking out. Omari was key to seeing all of these animals and having these experiences.
The Wildebeest migration was in Ndutu in January and February with February being the wildebeest birthing season. The zebras are earlier but we saw many baby zebras as well. My recommendation to anyone going on safari in Tanzania is to make sure you go where the wildebeest migration is. Not only are there a million wildebeest migrating but also zebras, antelopes, and the predators that prey on them. The sheer number of animals is amazing.
One other thing nice about Ndutu is that the jeeps were allowed to go off road unlike the Central Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. This let our guide find the best angles for views and to get close to the animals. Try to make sure that you include in your safari somewhere that allows off road driving. It definitely adds to the experience.
Ngorogoro Crater is another must see. It is an absolute gem. There are a large number and variety of animals in the crater including black rhinos. You won’t be disappointed. Access is very tightly controlled to protect the black rhinos and permits are for single day.
Easy Travel had different levels of lodging available from basic (camping) to full luxury. My daughter and I did a mixture of basic and comfort. We stayed a Nyikani Migration Camp in Ndutu. This camp felt like glamping. We had a large tent with beds and then in the back of the tent a very nice bathroom including toilet and a hot shower. The food was great and the camp was very comfortable. We even had grant gazelles running through the camp in the morning.
In the Serengeti and on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim, we stayed in public campgrounds. This is the basic level of lodging. Easy Travel provided large tents for us to sleep in. We had a private chef (Shadrak) who prepared our meals. One fun thing was in the Simba Campground we had water buffalo around our tent sleeping and eating during the night and in fact one or more rubbed up against the guy lines for the tent’s awning while we were in the tent. It was great hearing them and seeing them.
Overall, I highly recommend Easy Travel and our guide Omari. They provided a wonderful experience. Booking and planning the trip was simple. It was surprisingly low cost for what we got. I’d like to come back in the future in late August/September and go see the wildebeest river crossings in the Northern Serengeti. I will use Easy Travel agin for that trip and will try to get Omari again as my guide. I’m really happy with both and they exceeded all of my expectations.

Nice, knowledgeable, and flexible guide.
Trav-interactive was the best choice for my one day off-work tour in Nairobi. Communication was really easy through whatsapp and the service included the rented car, all tickets for the day, and a ride to the airport at the end. David the tour guide was really nice and helped me figure out my flight after the original one was canceled. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Trav-interactive.

Great experience, 100% recommendable!
We went on a 2 day safari with Shedrock as our guide. He was amazing, very knowledgeable, was able to get us pretty close to the animals and had an excellent eye to find the animals we were looking for. The booking experience with Davies was also a breeze, reply was fast and always available. Totally rrecommend!!

Raymond is the best
I had truly the best experience. My driver was Raymond and he was so kind and helping the whole time. The safari experience was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity to go to the Maasai village to meet the tribe please do. Overall I had the best time and made amazing connections with the staff and Maasai people. Amazing time and highly recommend

Beautiful scenery and animals. And the dignified Big 5.
Sukukuza is a convenient camp with shops and lots of people.
Malelane is a camp where we can feel the quiet nature with no shops and few people. Also, the accommodations at Malelane Satellite Camp were clean and very comfortable. We also saw shooting stars at night.
We stayed 2 nights in Sukukuza and 1 night in Malelane and were able to complete the Big 5. Thank you to game drivers Mornay and Opa.
We would like to thank Wade from Endless Summer Tours for all of the arrangements for Johannesburg, including preparing the meals and providing airport transfers.
Safaris are generally safe, and we should have some coins to use the restrooms at gas stations along the way to Johannesburg.
Game drives in open vehicles early in the morning or during rain can be quite cold, so warm clothing is recommended.
In the end, Rhys' competent planning, reservations and Wade's caring guide made for a good trip that will be remembered for a lifetime. We are very much obliged to you.
We highly recommend Endless Summer Tours.

Dedicated, dependable, eager, great attitude and joy - these words describe Uganda Family Tours.
Jackson and Brian were always there when we needed ANYTHING and became a part of our team instantly. Their commitment to serve us and make us feel welcome to Uganda was overwhelming. They made sure we had all we needed and more. Our comfort and wishes were their primary concerns. Everything was well planned and orchestrated well (in spite of poor road conditions in many areas). I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking Tour Guides and drivers for Uganda travel and safari tours.
