Summary:
What an incredible adventure this safari has been! From start to finish, we always felt safe and comfortable thanks to the care and professionalism of our wonderful guide, Hussein.
We were a group of seven — two little ones (ages 3 and 7), grandparents in their 70s, and the rest of us in between — and we all fit perfectly in the spacious and comfortable jeep. Every day, we enjoyed delicious picnic lunches, and I even received a breakfast box at each location because of my medication — such thoughtful service!
The hotels were each unique and charming in their own way, which made it extra fun to draw and remember all the places we stayed. We experienced different foods, music, and wildlife, and were even able to swim at every stop. After a day on safari, the option for a relaxing massage was the perfect way to end the day.
During our trip, we saw the Big Five, some of the Ugly Five, and even a few of the Small Five — an absolute dream come true! The coordination between the hotels and Hussein made everything seamless and truly unforgettable.
We will definitely miss Tanzania — its people, its beauty, and especially Hussein, who became like part of our family. He’s not only an expert guide but also such a kind, funny, and friendly person. We hope that Africa calls us back again someday, and when it does, we truly hope to have Hussein as our guide once more.

Summary:
My wife and I just did a spectacular, customized 9-day Safari in Tanzania led by Mohamedi, of Easy Travel and Tours. He was much more than our guide and driver. He was our teacher, animal behavior expert, cultural anthropologist, conversationalist. He was a virtuoso at anticipating how to best position us to see maximum wildlife activity very close up. He was never in a hurry, patiently making sure to let us take every photograph and shoot every video moment we wanted. An extra bonus was his knowledge of the multiple species of birds in addition to all the animals.
Mohamedi helped us get a great taste of the local culture. He was personable, professional, attentive to all our needs and so we recommend him unequivocally as someone to take you on the journey of a lifetime. In short, he was a fantastic guide!
Masuma and the staff of Easy Travel and Tours were great in their attentiveness to our needs in organizing this safari. This was not our first safari, however it was the best.

Summary:
We have had to experience the holiday of a lifetime with our family with little kids and great guide Hussein. We had very different lodges, staying with the Massai, staying on the edge of a park with elephants crossing, a luxerious stay at an old plantation house and a lodge in the Serengeti.
Hussein was a very good guide to us, always trying to show us the best views. He was also good with the family and the children.
We do recommand Easy Travel to visit Tanzania: it would be something you would never forget and be an ambassador of this beautiful country with stunning nature and friendly and relaxed people.
