Lightness was very responsive and helpful. Couldn’t be better!!
When my son and I decided to do this trip, I spent many hours looking at different safaris and itineraries. Brilliant kept popping up with the exact type of adventure we were looking for. Even the name “Brilliant Adventures and Safaris “ spoke to me! This trip was the fulfillment of a 25 year dream. Upon knowing that, Lightness did all she could to ensure our trip was that and even more. She tweaked our original schedule to match what we requested to perfection. We communicated often and she always responded promptly. Quite a feat knowing we are on opposite sides of the globe!
From the beginning we were treated like royalty! Our guide, Osbert, was every bit as attentive in person as Lightness had been. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything we asked. And believe me! I ask lots of questions! He actually tweaked our schedule a bit-just rearranged a couple of days. That was the perfect thing to do! We saw more wildlife without some of the crowds. He cared so much about our comfort and enjoyment! At one point we were willing to give up our search for cheetahs, but he would NOT give up! And we saw them!! Two males on a fresh kill! So amazing!! He encouraged us to visit a Maasai village and some local shops. So glad he did this! Lasting memories to bring home!
Right up until we left to fly over to Zanzibar, both Osbert and Lightness cared for us like family. Never been part of a tour with such care and attention. We did have a small snafu occur in Zanzibar with our accommodation. Lightness once again handled that expertly. Her manager even phoned to apologize and make sure everything was okay.
I could go on forever about how wonderful this company is , but I’ll just say….they may be small compared to some , but they were definitely mighty!! When I return…hopefully soon!…I will look to them again!

Great Family Safari
We are having a great trip! This is our 3rd safari and we are loving it! The itinerary and the accommodations have been great! Harry, our driver, is excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly. So far, we have seen over 30 lions, many kind of antilopes, hippos, giraffes, elephants and many more. The migration is incredible. I highly recommend our driver as he has been great at taking care of us and being prudent in rain conditions. Easy Travel has been easy to deal with - we have been very satisfied.

first time in Africa and what a great time
It was absolutely fabulous . We had a wonderful driver Harry very pleasant taking great care of us to the point where he thought for our luncheon out to bring tobacco to my grand son. One major point that is essential he Ann excellent safe driver . He knows the territory inside out is never lost even if has to take detours because of flooded routes. He is also very knowledgeable could answer all our questions and would even give information before we ask anything. He’s a very pleasant person for us but we can see by how he interacts with other drivers that his colleagues really appreciate him. The tour is allowing to have a great perspective on Tanzania country and national parks . I think easy travel &tours did a wonderful job in making the best of our 7 days tour. I have liking for lions and we’ve seen up to now more than 30 lions , for me that shows the itinerary was perfect .
bref i would start the whole experience all over again and recommend pour com p;an y and our chauffeur harry with great pleasure.
Do not miss the hot air balloon despite the early rise

Amazing trip. 30 lions and counting!
Terrific. Our driver guide, Harry, has been wonderful. Safety first, he is well prepared and seems to be friends with many of the other jeep drivers. He is very knowledgeable and has been a pleasure to spend long days with on game drives and the in-betweens. We are aged 20-75 and he has been thoughtful and attentive to each person. He has taken initiative for those little things which really made it all more enjoyable. Highly recommend. We also found the company, Easy Travel, great to deal with in planning, booking, payment and orientation. We'll prepared and very smooth operations throughout. When there was one miscommunication with a hotel on our meal plan, Easy quickly resolved it in our favor. All A+

We loved every second of our Uganda safari!
Some friends and I booked our 16 day safari through Ngoni Safaris Uganda and we had an absolute blast. We saw so so many animals. Our guide went above and beyond during the trip to make sure we were happy, including giving us a chance to see a leopard hunting a water buck!! What an experience. Our entire friend group agreed that we want to go back to Uganda ASAP and book with Ngoni again!

Game time
All in all an awesome trip. Especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks are a must see!
We had Max as our tour guide who was very nice and had impressive driving skills.
The food which was cooked by Pius was also great and always too much to finish it all so way better than I expected from the ‘basic‘ camping trip.
Would definitely recommend the tour!

Unforgettable Trip
Our guide Elias was simply great. He was super pleasant, explained a lot to us and always brought us to the front row quickly. He was also a very good driver, which was not easy as the roads were very bad due to the heavy rain.
We also learned very much about the culture and people. Thank you Elias, you made this trip unforgettable!
Every day we had a warm Lunch, which was very excellent (other Companys only offered a Sandwich).
Our lodges and tented lodges were very comfortable. The food was always good and the people were extremely accommodating and friendly.
The highlight was the Boma lodge, which is located in a breathtaking landscape on Lake Manyana. The lodges were fantastic, the pool with a view of the lake was beautiful and the staff were very friendly.
I would choose suricata again!

13 Days of Safari fun!
My boyfriend and I decided to do the 13 Day Safari Tour through Kenya and Tanzania. Fiona was always available for all of our questions. We were already in Kenya but we got picked up at our hotel. We started with Massai Mara National Park. We really enjoyed the tendet camp und the game drives were awesome! We also saw Hells Gate, Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru und Amboseli National Park. All Accommodations were reasonable for the price we paid. Never had a problem being a vegetarian.
After that we had a transfer to Tanzania without a Problem. Everywhere we went, there was already somebody who knew what we have to do next. And as soon as something was noch clear Fiona jumped in, made a few calls and saved our day.
In Tanzania we spend our time at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. We were accompanied by a Driver and a Cook. Great guys, delicious food! Camping at Serengeti and Ngorogoro was manageable.
After 13 Days we really saw the big 5 and even more. There is not a single animal we didn't see! We always felt looked after all of the time and really enjoyed our time. A big Thank you Fiona and all of the drivers/guides for making this time unforgettable!
