Fantastic company, Fantastic Safari
I very rarely write reviews but on this occasion I thought it appropriate. I have never been on a Safari before and didn’t know what on earth I was doing when I was booking, there are so many options and I didn’t know where to start.
We emailed Norbert and he was very prompt with his replies, we didn’t need to exchange money until we were collected for the Safari, which was reassuring as other companies wanted 50% deposit.
We were picked up on time from our Hotel, I was a pain and didn’t have USD (I thought I could get them from an ATM in Dar which I couldn’t). Our tour guide (forgive me I have forgotten his name) was absolutely wonderful and drove me to a bank and waited for over and hour for me to sort out some USD’s.
The Safari was relaxing, we chose when we wanted to be collected each day (3 day Mikumi Safari), he knew a lot about the animals and we found ourselves seeing some really fantastic sights! Elephants meters in front of us, lions mating and much more.
I was really thankful that we booked through Selous!
We stayed in the TanSeiss accommodation which was also great.
Thanks for a wonderful first safari experience.

Professional, tailor made, value for money
After elaborate research online and communications with several companies, we booked a 5 day safari in Tanzania, visiting Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorongoro with Shemeji. We are a couple in our end twenties and were looking for the full safari experience, but do not need all kinds of luxury; in that sense we wanted to save our money on that front. However: although we felt we booked a rather cheap 5 day safari and were expecting relatively simple accommodation, we staid in great accommodations that really felt like bang for our buck. In that sense I think Shemeji totally overdelivered, which is great.
Our guide Elli was experienced (both in driving and in finding all the things you want to see; flexible (he gave us all the freedom to get up really early and continue for long hours if that was what we wanted); and just a very relaxed guy to travel around with for 5 days.
The accommodations were very nice: it feels like there has been a solid selection of accommodations that are up to Shemeji's standards. The service levels were very high at all the accommodations we staid (Nsya lodge, Eileens Trees, Osupuko tented lodge, Rhino Lodge).
Communications beforehand with Emma were fast, clear and to the point. She was also kind enough to provide us with advise when we asked for some pointers on where to stay in Arusha.
Conclusion: great experience. You might be able to get something like the same experience for less money if you shop around in Arusha, but we are glad that we booked with Shemeji and had 0 hassle and everything we wanted!

Fantastic Safari in Tanzania with Easy Travel
We have been in Tanzania for three weeks together with Easy Travel and had an amazing time. It was our first trip to Africa and we can certainly confirm the good feedback and reviews about the company.
During the first week we climbed Kilimanjaro, followed by 6 days Safari including Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, three days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and one week relaxing in Sansibar at the end. For us the most amazing part of the Safari was Serengeti with all of its wildlife and its landscape. Thanks also to Endend our very experienced driver with whom we spotted so many animals. Overall the organization of Easy Travel was really great! Many thanks for making our holiday unforgettable.

Excellent vacation at affordable pricing
Definitely African Sermon Safaris gets 5 stars rating from me. I booked a tailor made trip to Kenya in the period 10-15 October 2017. Everything moved smoothly from the start until I left to return home. All the scheduled safari times and appointments were observed throughout the vacation. The hotels, guides and means of transportation lived up to the standards that had been promised at booking. Before the trip was booked, there was an excellent communication and contact with the company. I think I got the most competitive price for the experience.
I would like to recommend African Sermon Safaris if contemplating to safari in Kenya.

Perfect!
Speke Uganda and our driver Hamid especially were wonderful during our short time in Uganda. The places we saw were full of culture and although we knew we couldn't fully see all that Uganda has to over in only a couple days we felt it was an excellent view into the country. The main purpose of our trip was to spread this ashes of a deceased loved one and Hamid was extremely respectful and accommodating in our needs. I would highly recommend Speke Uganda as a tour company in the future.

Uganda Adventure
We enjoyed a great week in Uganda with Range Land. From the beginning, they were communicative and helpful. We tailored our itinerary based on input from their team, and so got to do exactly what we wanted, and even a few things we didn't know we wanted to do. On arrival, we were greeted by our guide, Ronald who had dealt with us from the beginning. He took great care of us all week, which took in Kampala, Kibale Forest, Queen Elisabeth National Park and Bwindi. This was a great week, one of the best trips we've ever been on, made by both Uganda and Rangeland. We cannot recommend Uganda highly enough, and we cannot recommend Range Land enough!

Fabulous days at the Kruger
We took the 4 days tour from Johannesburg to Kruger. We spent 3 great nights at a lodge, where we had a nice little house just for us with great food and incredible hospitality. We were the lucky ones to see the Big Five:) Enjoyed the magical beauty of the park and professionalism of the tour guide from early mornings till the evenings. He always spotted the animals from a really really big distance, while we could not see anything.....it was amazing. You really need to spend at least 2-3 days in the park to get used to the silence, the animals and the endless green to really get rid of stress and experience the majesty of the fauna and flora. It was an adventure of a lifetime. During the way back to Johannesburg we have seen the most beautiful canyon of earth the Blyde river canyon. Incredible-> everyone should see this, you cannot miss. I highly recommend this tour, as everything was as expected...even better.

Vic Falls Spectacular
We did the 6 day Victoria Falls spectacular, which was personalised for our travel dates. Joseph was quick to respond to all emails, and put our minds at ease heading on our trip. Once we arrived our tour guide Frank was excellent, he looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every part of our stay. Each tour we went on was private, which made the experience that much better. I cannot speak highly enough of Frank, as well as the other guides at both Chobe and Hwange National Park. Really hope we can travel with this company again soon
