Safari Tour in Tanzania
4/5

Dear e-trip team,

I would like to thank you for the lovely and unforgettable trip to Serengati between 16th of September and 21st of September. The places where we stayed during this period were really good, the staff in the camp were very friendly and kind. The environment in the rooms were clean and comfortable even it was a tent. The food ere very delicious as well.
I would like to special thank our tour Guide Denis. He was very kind, knowledgeable and ambitious to show as everything. I am really happy to meet him. He is very organized and on time all the time.

Thanks again for everybody to make us this trip incredible.

Regards,
Özlem Özdemir

E-Trip Africa Good, Fantastic Tanzania
4/5

Tanzania was a fantastic place.
The strong sunlight of Zanzibar was also good,
The dynamics of Serengeti were also good.
Thanks to E-trip Africa, who helped me from the initial planning, I was able to go on without any shortage. Thanks again.
It was a great help in choosing an event, choosing a hostel and choosing a safari. The schedule for helping was fantastic too. Although I was suffering from a physical discomfort during the trip, there were some things that did not feel good during the schedule, but overall it was the best trip.
Next time you travel to Africa again, E-trip Africa

Guides/Ground Transportation excellent. Food/Accommodations adequate/ lunch's terrible.
4/5

Communication between us and the guides the day his credit cards didn't work to allow us to get into the Serengeti would have been nice. It took over 2 hours... and very little to no communication as to why until the end?
Guides had awesome knowledge about animals, birds, and culture. They communicated with their peers on where animal sightings might be so we could see as many animals as possible. They were both also very accommodating to the needs of the group and made adjustments if needed. They always maintained professionalism and the safety of the group was always at the top of their list.
The guides made sure the vehicles were always clean for the next day's trip.
Food at the resorts was not bad, but the lunch boxes were not appetizing!
Hotels... Moivaro Coffee Plantation Lodge - Really not good at all. Afraid to eat the food and very confusing at check out time for the food/bar bill. We were overcharged... double for the drinks and food we had already paid for the night before. 2nd lodge - Tarangire Sopa Lodge - Very nice lodge, the view was great and the pool was chlorinated which was nice. 3rd lodge - Escarpment Luxury Lodge - by far the cleanest and nicest lodge of the entire trip with another awesome view! The food at this lodge was the best of the entire trip as well. 4th lodge - Serengeti Sopa Lodge - Location and view were awesome... the food adequate. 5th lodge - Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge - Location and view were awesome, food... this is where one of us got sick from the food. 5th lodge - KIA Lodge - Food was not good here. Accommodations were okay, but having the A/C that night was the best!
In all of the lodges, the staff was very nice and accommodating. The guides were awesome and overall the safari was outstanding!

Helpful and reliable
4/5

Ben was extremely helpful and patient trying to accommodate all our requests during the preparation of the trip. Our guide, David, was excellent: good driver, wise guide, and enjoyable company.
The car was in good condition, although we had a small problem with one of the tires.
The lodges and tented camps were correct and very convenient, in good locations. The Researchers' Rest in particular is an unpretentious B&B which had everything we needed for our first night in the country, comfortable and very good value.
The safari was short and well optimized. David planned every day carefully and helped us to identify the animals and birds we found. He really enjoys his job and makes it enjoyable for the customers!
When we returned to Arusha at the end of the safari Ben took us to the rental company where we had booked a car, and made sure everything was in order before leaving us.
We find it very important to find someone reliable in a country like Tanzania, which is not easy for independent travelers. And the staff of E-Trip Africa are reliable people.
The only reason to give 4 stars instead of 5 is that we found the package a little overpriced, and we didn't liked too much the tented camp in Serengeti (Nieleze), although this is not E-Trip fault! Apart from that everything was really good.

Interesting eye-opener into the African continent

Well worth while; I did not think, I would see such abundance of wildlife

A well planned and diverse experience touching all aspects of Tanzanian life
4/5

The tour was well managed with great drivers who were always friendly and well informed. The itinerary was great, including a wide variety of wildlife in the parks and a very moving experience visiting markets and school in Karatu Village. The only shortcomings were the rather hurried drive through Lake Manyara Park after the stop at the hot springs, and the long drive to and from the Oldapi Gorge for quite a short stay. But these were minor problems and the whole experience was very enjoyable. The accomocations were excellent in all cases as were the vehicles.

Hi Roger. I am glad that overall you were quite happy with the trip. I also feel that your itinerary was rushed. We advised the organizers of your trip that they were trying to fit in too much. Of course it is hard to understand the distances to the different sights until you have been here. Hopefully, next time they do take our advice which would have given you more time to enjoy Lake Manyara National Park (one of my favorite parks) and also Oldupai Gorge. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you join us again on your next safari.

We had a very nice vehicle, careful and knowledgeable driver and quality accomodations.
4/5

Our drivers were always ready for us at the beginning of the day. The box lunches were very tasty and kept cold. We always had cold water. We saw lots of animals while on safari.
