Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The trip has really beat our expectations. We saw all of the big fives and got a real safari experience. I would definitely recommend the camping version with Maru Slopes. You get really close to the nature (we had an elephant, hippopotamus and a pack of lions close to the camp). Thanks to the camp staff and our driver Andrew, we were never afraid and felt safe even in the middle of nowhere where you can meet any animal. Thanks to him we had an unforgettable holiday, seeing lions eating a pray, pack of elephants wondering in the bushes, we saw even a leopard with a baby and a rhinoceros. Our driver was both very knowledgeable and experienced making sure that we saw all the animals, finding secret spots to observe them. He has been working as a driver for 25 years and you can tell he knows how to find them.

    During the trip we had an excellent chef Rashid. He helped us explore new dishes and try things we never tasted before. He has always made us several dishes at once and they all tasted really good. If you are looking for a mixture of local food with European touch then Rashid is your guy.

    We would like to thank you both one more time for an unforgettable experience that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Thanks guys!

    Our 5-day safari was an absolute one of a lifetime experience. Everything was taken care of. Our cook Samil prepared delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us every day (more than we could eat and always with multiple options). We sat in a spacious car with the option to charge mobile phones or camera equipment. Our guide Elias was very experienced, funny, patient and could answer any questions we had about animal, land and people. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro crater. We saw so many lions, zebras, Elefanten, Giraffs, Hippos and buffalos up close and many more. Also, we saw a leopard and many lion babies, a real highlight. We slept in tents, they were big and sturdy and prepared for us. Sleeping bags, pillows and mattresses were clean and comfortable. In our two last camps (Serengeti and Ngoro ngoro), we were visited by hyenas and zebras in the evening. I can absolutely recommend this Safari, for me it will be a very special memory.

    10/10 safari experience

    Professional, human, exciting, funny - best possible safari experience I can imagine. Food was extraordinary (better than any other tour operator's, as we were checking other agency's tables at the picnic sites), all 3 meals/day hot, fresh and very versatile.
    Driver (Mr. Lucky, Shabani) did everything for us to catch a CLOSE glimpse of all the animals (we ticked the Big 5), many times we were within an arm's reach of them, while explaining the most interesting fun facts about the corresponding species. The chef (Pius) did an extraordinary job, was truly surprising that we were having -at some points- better-than-restaurant-quality food on a wooden bench, while others had paperboxes with precooked meals. Other staff members (written communication, pick-up from airport, briefing) were also very kind and educated, with a smile on their faces. In my wife's words: best travel experience of my life. 10/10

    We had a safari that couldn't have been better. I looked through every possible provider beforehand and even after the safari I can say that you won't find anything better in terms of value for money. One night before and after the safari at the Hotel Tourist Inn and the transfer from the airport are included. They are flexible when it comes to payment. You get breakfast and 2 hot meals a day, which were always very tasty and plentiful. Our guide was Samuel. He is super experienced, drives routes that the masses don't drive and has an eagle eye. He also responds to your wishes, is super friendly and courteous and just extremely funny. He also made the safari so unforgettable, thank you Samuel!

    Overall great experience! It seems like what you get as a tour and accommodation is pretty similar regardless of company, so I would say it's mostly about the guide (unsure if you can request a specific one unfortunately) and whether you need to switch cars/groups.

    The switching of cars/groups (i.e. you were driving extra back and forth to mix and match with other different joint trips so that cars could be full at all times) seemed to be more of an issue if you did not book directly with a company - so book directly with a company instead of through an agent.

    Then, over to our guide: Bakari was amazing, 10/10. He gave us proper time to watch each animal (rather then stressing on as some other cars), the afternoon we entered Serengeti we went on a proper detour on our way to the camp in order to try and see lions and leopards in the dusk (best day for sure) (whereas other guides just went to camp directly), he knows how to fix cars (twice we stopped to help someone else where he told them what was wrong with their car and helped them fix it) and he seemed to be genuinely passionate about the animals and all the facts etc. He also adapted beautifully to match the energy/humor of the group (we were a bunch of late twenty/early thirty something Europeans most of the days where there were more jokes etc, but on the days the group was older/more chill Bakari adjusted to that vibe nicely too).

    This was my first Safari and I was delightfully pleased. We started our journey early and remained on scheduled for the entire journey. I was able to see the BIG FIVE and a live lion hunting experience. Silas provided a wealth of information along the way including the history of the area, details on the different animals and made sure we were all taken care of.

    An enjoyable experience with Silas till the very end. Thank you Silas!

    Our Miracle Experience hot air ballon trek over the Serengeti was truly amazing. The views as you peacefully glide along over animal herds, tree tops, and rivers (hippos, crocs) are beautiful. The post ride breakfast gathering was also excellent. When in East Africa, do not pass on this fantastic experience!

    I embarked on an unforgettable journey with Dancing Simba Safaris from June 28th to July 3rd, 2024. My adventure spanned the diverse landscapes of Tarangire National Park, with its towering baobab trees and vast herds of elephants. The serene beauty of Lake Manyara offered a glimpse of playful baboons silhouetted against the setting sun, their chatter echoing through the trees. Long-necked giraffes stretched their elegant forms to feed on leaves high in the canopy. The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, left me breathless. But it was the majestic Serengeti National Park that truly stole the show. Here, a seemingly endless sea of wild animals across the vast savanna, punctuated by the calls of gazelles and the watchful gaze of lions. The air vibrated with a symphony of bird calls.
    With Dancing Simba's expert guides and comfortable accommodations, our diverse group from all corners of the globe (America, Africa - me from Ethiopia, Europe - Norway, Asia - China, and Australia) had an unforgettable safari experience. The shared thrill of encountering Tanzania's incredible wildlife fostered a sense of camaraderie that transcended cultural differences. Our safari jeep became a microcosm of the world, with six of us sharing stories and laughter. I, from Ethiopia, learned a lot from my fellows, while the thrill of spotting a pride of lions sparked lively discussions with our fellow travelers from Norway, America, and Australia.

    A special thanks goes to Mr. David John, who ensured everything was perfectly organized, and to our incredible guide, Mr. Joseph. His knowledge and passion for Tanzanian wildlife made the experience truly unforgettable. He expertly explained the tour and the fascinating species of animals we encountered, bringing the wonders of the African savanna to life. This trip was more than just a good time; it was a transformative experience that deepened my appreciation for nature's wonders. From the vast plains teeming with life to the awe-inspiring heights of Kilimanjaro, where I challenged myself with a one-day hike to Mandara Hut, with a special thanks to my incredible guide who expertly paced me throughout the climb, Tanzania offered an unforgettable adventure.

    Tanzania has cast its spell, and I know it won't be my last visit. Next time, I will be returning with my family for an unforgettable adventure. Together, we will:
    • Conquer the mighty Kilimanjaro, reaching the summit of Uhuru Peak.
    • Witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration.
    • Relax and soak up the beauty of Zanzibar's beaches.

    I have to confess that I was a little nervous about taking my first balloon ride but the team at Serengeti Balloon Safaris were so well organized, that I knew I was in good hands.
    Nic, our pilot was extremely knowledgeable and had piloted balloons for many years. He kept the balloon at low altitude enabling us to see more of the wildlife, it was an experience I’ll never forget. For anyone out there who has reservations about taking a ride, I would highly recommend using this company as they have a very professional and reassuring way of organizing these safaris.
    The post flight champagne breakfast on the savanna, is the perfect way to finish this awesome experience.

    This is our first time in Tanzania, I’m glad we chose Lion King Adventures and lucky to have Leonard as our tour guide.They did a great job in all aspects of food, accommodation and trips on road. We chose the 7days luxury all-inclusive trip as our honeymoon.

    Food:
    The accommodations provide breakfast and dinner. The ways they cook of lamb, beef, chicken and fish are delicious. I was told to bring snacks by some online Tanzania trip postings before, but this luxury tour does not need to bring any snacks at all! Our lunches or picnics were made by our guide Leonard. Trust me. This man knows cooking. You must try his beef, it was just amazing.

    Accommodation:
    Each accommodation has its unique taste and distinctive vibe. The maramboi lodge has great swimming pool view and fantastic big widows so we can see the sunset and sunrise directly from our room. The kitela lodge has this jungle vibe and provides a nice jacuzzi to relax after the long day journey. The nyota luxury camp is the best stay in Serengeti national park. You can hear buffalo outside our room and the sunrise of Serengeti is just breathtaking.

    Road-trips:
    On the road, we have many drink options, iced beer, wine, juice. You name it. Leonard was always listening and giving quick feedbacks to our requests. He knows where to find animals and even shows the Chinese name of animals to us so we could understand easier. He said the slogan of this trip is “wow is now” in the beginning of our tour. He really gave us the wows everyday. He drives fast but safely along the whole trip. We were almost always the first batch to see the animals, and he knows the best angles for us to take the photo.

    In conclusion, we are very pleased to have this experience with Lion King Adventures and Leonard, and also thanks to Nickson for all the booking and arrangement.

    This tour was even better than I expected! The company communicated very professionally and were very helpful with transport for hotels and airport. On the tour we had a very experienced guide/driver who found so many animals for us and knew lots about them. He was the best guide I've had in 4 weeks in Africa. The camping was fun and the support staff prepared excellent meals and helped with luggage. I would 100% recommend this company for my own friends and family!

    We have just completed an epic few days of safari with Assad from Pazuri Porini safaris. Our experience with this company and with Assad was the best we could ever ask for and it was the best safari we have ever done, I would highly recommend everyone to book with Assad without any hesitation. Everything from the beginning to end was organised professionally and in a friendly way, all my questions during our initial communications through whatsapp were answered in great detail and Assad even suggested amendments to my initial plan to make sure we have the best experience possible according to the time of year and the animal movements. Because of his excellent knowledge and suggestions we saw everything we wanted to see from our safari in Ndutu south Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, including all of the big 5, the great wildebeest migration, and even saw rare sightings of leopard and cheetah with their cubs. During the safari Assad was always on the lookout for the highlights of things to see, equipped with his binoculars and could spot rare animals and their movements from so far away that we would otherwise never even notice, and made sure to drive us towards the most strategic positions to se them up close and ensure we get the best possible views of all the animals. During our game drives we were always in the best positions to capture the movements and take great photos of the animals, while most of the other cars didn't see what we were able to see because they were not in the optimal viewing position like we were. Not only a great driver but Assad also gave us so much information about the animals and was able to answer every curious question we had about them, about their behaviours, life cycle, diet, and so many other details, not only just about the animals but the masai tribes who live among them and also the trees and landscape around us. The safari vehicle we were in was very comfortable and clean, and came stocked with plenty of cold drinks in the cooler to keep us hydrated during the drives. The meals we ate in the lodge as well as the packed hot lunches were all excellent and tasty. We have no complaints about anything and highly recommend this company to all potential guests

    Safari trip Comfort level:- Luxury+

    This was our first trip to Africa and our first experience with African safari, we didn’t know where to start / how to go about the booking. Thank God we found Easy Tours and Travel to plan/organise our itinerary.

    As soon as we sent a request asking for their assistance, we got a prompt reply from Masuma giving us the trip options / explaining the details etc. Masuma was extremely patient/professional in answering all our questions.

    As this was the first time we were going on a trip organised by a tour operator, we were a little apprehensive about the whole experience but just in a couple of email exchanges/calls with Masuma we knew we were in the right & safe hands.

    The quick turn around clear replies from Mausma to our queries helped us make the decision regarding our plan/itinerary.
    Any customisation requests in the itinerary/room types were diligently handled by Masuma. She went that extra mile and ensured that we got the rooms of our choice in all the accommodations throughout the trip.
    The accommodation recommendations were all of high quality be it food/accommodation/service. The accommodations (different from each other) exceeded expectations and everywhere we appreciate the staff’s politeness.
    Masuma kept us informed regarding any new documents required for the trip and we highly appreciate that. She kept checking up on us throughout the trip and ensured our trip went smoothly.
    Easy Tours & travel as a company was extremely honest/transparent in financial dealings, invoice was released immediately for any payment made. We really appreciate that.
    Masuma ensured that our dietary requirements were taken care of throughout the trip and all the accommodations (6 in total) were informed in advance.

    As soon as we landed in Tanzania, Our Safari guide Calvin was waiting for us with a smile on his face and our name on the placard. He took us to their office in Arusha and we were briefed about the trip itinerary/safety measures etc.

    During the Safari trip, Calvin was perfect guide /careful/precise and punctual; I really appreciate his services and attention.
    Calvin is very knowledgeable/professional/polite/kind/funny/ helpful /patient and answered all our questions, he ensured we were safe throughout our safari trip
    Calvin was more of a friend than a guide to us on the trip.
    His animal-spotting skills are second to none, he ensured we saw all the big five / rare black rhinos / Cheetahs and many more
    He went that extra mile to make sure we witnessed THE GREAT MIGRATION, we are extremely thankful for that.
    All in all, it was a most memorable once-in-a-lifetime trip made even more special by Calvin / Masuma.

    In Zanzibar as well, we had transportation arranged for all our accommodation and it was handled by a very professional/friendly Chaufer Sulieman.

    As we were on our Anniversary trip, very sweet surprises were arranged by Masuma in all our accommodations. This made our trip even more memorable/joyful and made us feel very special.

    We are really glad, extremely happy and satisfied that we chose Easy tours and travels. They EXCEEDED our Expectations.

    After the first day on safari it was evident that a fantastic guide makes for a fantastic safari. Simba, our guide read our group perfectly. He understood we were not on a mission to rush from one animal sighting to another. He understood and delivered a thoughtful journey, anticipating wildlife moments that few people get see. From a herd of elephants, including babies, having a mud bath worthy of a BBC documentary to a male ostrich performing a spectacular dance to impress the female.

    Sinba shared details of animal behavior and how their herds/families behaved. He sought out bird species and fauna that we asked about. He was 110% focused on making us delighted and safe.

    A great guide creates experiences that make his customers feel magic. Simba made our safari awesome.

    Ask for him, if you want to be awed.
