Amazing!!
Amazing! Our guide Musa was lovely! He told a lot about the animals we saw, as well as the plants. We were able to ask a lot about how old the animals are, what they eat etc. We saw a lot of animals (elephants, zebras, lions, cheetahs to name a few) in just 2/3 game drives. He could also tell us a bit about the plants and trees around the area. He was also very accommodating and flexible, which was really nice since our morning walk near Amboseli took longer than expected. The reason the review isn't 5 stars was the price, I paid 370$ which was a bit over my budget but all in all I can recommend the tour and the guide and would 100% do it again!!!

Expert guide, incredible sightings
Amazing safari thanks to our guide! We saw a lion, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, wildebeest, warthogs, impalas and much more. Our guide clearly knows the park and all the best spots, was very efficient, and full of fascinating explanations and helpful tips throughout. An unforgettable experience, highly recommended. Thank you!

Easy to work with.
I went on an 8-day mid-range private (solo) Kenya-Tanzania safari in October. I chose Ejas because their quote fit my budget and preferred itinerary best. Arrangements were all done online and communication was easy via e-mail and WhatsApp. The trip went very well. Though in hindsight, I should have spent less time in northern Serengeti (October was at the tail end of the season for Mara river crossing) and more in central Serengeti. I should have also skipped the Ngorongoro crater since I saw a lot already in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and the Serengeti. If I started in Arusha, it would have made more sense to visit the crater. I had two knowledgeable guides, one in Kenya and another in Tanzania, who ensured I had a great time. I felt safe and well taken cared of. Hand-off was at the border. The vehicles were as pictured in the brochure and had provisions for charging electronics. The roads were rough and we had a flat tire four times but we had spare tires and delay was minimal. The accommodations were comfortable. Laundry service was available for a fee (I paid USD 20 for 2 pants, 1 shorts, and 3 shirts in a camp). Food was good, even excellent in some. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Ejas.

Amazing safari!
We had a truly amazing safari!
Melvin helped us with the booking and everything beforehand. He was always very helpful and quick to respond and also checked in on us every day during the safari.
The trip started a little unfortunate, as there were some problems with the car and we had to wait 1.5 hours before starting the safari. Also, the binocular was missing from the car on the first day. However, apart from these issues, we had four amazing safari days and the binocular was brought on the second day. We saw lots of animals and all the lodges were very nice.
Our guide, Musa is a wonderful person and we had many great conversations with him. He made sure we saw all of the Big Five and really tried to give us the best possible experience and find as many animals as possible.
During the safari, I think it would have been nice to communicate a little more about the daily plans and whether we wanted to stop for more pictures or spend a bit more time at certain sightings. Other than that, everything was really great.
We even got to see part of the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti! It was amazing to witness, but also a little shocking to see how much some of the cars and guides stressed the animals and raced around to get the best spots. Some cars even crossed the area where the animals were running up from the river. Our guide handled the situation quite well, but I really hope the park authorities will enforce the rules and restrictions more strictly. It was wonderful to see the migration, but people should also be aware that it is a long drive to the northern Serengeti, and there may not be much wildlife to see in the area if the migration is not happening there. There can be a lot of waiting, as well as considerable stress caused by the number of vehicles and the way some drivers behave. Especially during high season, I would think twice about whether visiting the northern Serengeti is really the most ethical choice, given the number of cars and the reckless driving we witnessed.
However, this criticism is directed at the park authorities and the way the migration is managed, not at the safari company itself.
The last day was also very nice. We visited a waterfall and a coffee plantation and especially the coffee experience with the locals was amazing.
However, the absolute highlight was definitely the safari itself and especially the night we spent inside the national park and waking up to giraffes in front of our lodge.
The hotel on the last day was not quite as good, especially the restaurant, but all the other accommodations were great.
Melvin even came to visit us on our last day to check in and hear about our experience. He really took good care of us and genuinely wanted to know how everything had gone.
It is a relatively new and smaller company, so there may still be a few little things to improve. However, they are clearly very open to feedback and you can really feel that listening to their customers and continuously improving is important to them.
They are already a great and trustworthy company and I am sure that with their dedication and attitude, they will only become even bigger and better in the future.
A big thank you to Melvin for taking such good care of us and, of course, to our amazing guide Musa, who made our safari such a memorable experience!
We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!

A highly professional and well-organised tour operator who answers Evert question fast
We had an amazing experience on our 12-day trip through Uganda! It was perfectly organised from start to finish. Before the trip, we could turn to the organisers with all our questions, and we always received quick and helpful answers. This made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free.
A special mention goes to our guide, who was simply fantastic! He took care of everything, drove us around safely, organised all the activities and made sure we had the best possible experience throughout the journey. His knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication really made the trip extra special.
Every single day was a new adventure and brought a completely different experience. The safaris were incredible, and all the other activities were absolutely worth it. Uganda surprised us in the best possible way, and we enjoyed every moment of it.
We would recommend this trip to absolutely everyone! It was an unforgettable experience, full of amazing memories and beautiful places. It will be very hard for any future trip to ever match or surpass this one!

Affordable, enjoyable, breath of fresh air, and memorable.
Kenya was laid back to the point that everything going on in the world didn't seem to matter much. People were nice. Infrastructure was poor.
We went off season, so the safari experience was quite toned down but still enjoyable.
Now we are inquisitive what the high season experience might be like. Will be back to Kenya some day soon.
