We recently completed a Kenya/Tanzania safari with East Africa Adventures. The entire 8 days on safari was amazing. We visited Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Parks in Kenya and Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti in Tanzania. All the parks were excellent and we saw a huge variety of wildlife in the different parks. Both our drivers, Kizito (in Kenya) and Saba (in Tanzania) were great at finding exciting wildlife for us. Both were very knowledgeable about the parks, animals, and spotting wildlife. All of our accommodations were lovely and we really enjoyed the great variety in places Fred had booked for us.Planning the safari with Fred was very easy. We started with one of their pre-set itinerary's and changed it slightly to match our needs. When we had to cut the number of days due to not being able to get as much time off of work, he worked with us to create a shorter itinerary. He was always very fast at responding to our emails. Yes, it was slightly nerve wrecking wire transferring half the price to them and taking the rest in cash when we left for the safari. But there were no issues with payment and everything went smoothly. Our only small complaint was, we were told water was included so we didn't buy any water at the airport, but when we got in the safari van at the Nairobi airport we didn't have any water until we reached the lodge at Lake Nakuru. The rest of the safari we had ample water, but maybe just making sure there's a bottle of water in the car on pickup would be nice after getting off a long plane flight. But we had an amazing safari and if we are to return to Africa, we would definitely use East Africa Adventure again.

Had an unforgetable visit to Massai Mara last weekend with this company as the operator. The director Fred gave me an competetive offer and arranged the whole trip as we wanted to have it. The driver Leonard picked us up at the hotel on Saturday morning and drove us safely to Massai Mara. Leonard also guided us through the national park with very good knowledge about the park and the animals. The Sarova lodge was also excellent nicely situated in the park with an extremely welcoming staff.

My husband and I just finished the ten day Kenya-Tanzania Safari with East Africa Adventures, and it was incredible!Our itinerary hit the following accommodations and parks:Sarova Panfric in NairobiFlamingo Hill Camp at Lake NakuruSarova Mara Luxury tented camp at Maasai MaraMbalageti lodge at SerengetiRhino lodge and Ganako Luxury lodge at NgorongoroEka Hotel in NairobiThe safari itself was unbelievable. We came in low season and got to see everything we wanted--certainly the big 5, on multiple occasions. We managed to catch a couple of black rhino mating in ngorongoro. We got up close and personal with several families of giraffe, some lions, and elephant. There are too many favorite moments to name. Our Safari drivers were Leonard in Kenya, and Saba in Tanzania (the vehicles can't cross borders without being registered Iin both countries so halfway through our itinerary, we switched vehicles and drivers at the border. Both our drivers were excellent in different ways. Leonard was patient with great instincts, and Saba was boisterous yet knowledgable. They both paid close attention to our experience to ensure we were having a good time.The accommodations were excellent. Our favorite places were Sarova Mara for tented camps and Ganako for luxury. Food was great at each site-- mostly buffet style and lots of variety. The boxed lunches they prepared for us on applicable days were incredible and adorable!Some notes for future travellers:-definitely bring binoculars or a telephoto lens. We brought both (just a little telephoto lens-- 55-250mm) and used them often. Especially at ngorongoro--you're not allowed to leave the main roads so the animals can be pretty far away.-for currency, everywhere we spent money accepted USD but gave us change in shillings, so bring small bills for tipping. And make sure they are recently printed bills. We had some trouble as places won't accept bills printed before 2006. As a result, we ended up with quite a few outdated bills that we couldn't use.-for shopping, make sure you bargain. The prices they quote you at first are insanely high, and I still feel like a paid too much after negotiating...-for payment to East Africa Adventure: they require a 50% deposit upon booking and the rest upon arrival. Your only option for the deposit is to wire transfer via western union or bank. For the balance, you can either wire transfer two weeks in advance, or cash/credit card upon arrival. The credit card route is iffy, though, as the machines often don't work for MasterCard, and the banks impose A 5% surcharge for using credit cards. We wire transferred the deposit, then brought the balance in cash. It was perfectly safe and we didn't encounter any difficulties (except at my own bank with the wire transfer, but that was because the teller was inexperienced.)- for visas to enter kenya/tanzania: it costs $50USD for Canadians at each border. We bought all our visas on arrival at each border. Lining up for a visa at the nairobi airport after a long flight was excruciating due to the sheer number of people in the queue. Getting into tanzania was a breeze, as was returning to kenya after tanzania. You don't need a new visa upon reentry into kenya after tanzania--I wasn't aware of this before getting there but was glad to have saved some money. Do note that I knew a few people who had done a kenya Tanzania safari before and one of them had to pay $100 usd per person at one of the borders for some reason. We didn't encounter any issues with bribery or anything. All in all it was an incredible experience and would highly recommend East Africa Adventure for future safari goers.

Truly a fantastic, once in a lifetime experience! I was in Kenya for business and was contemplating on safari with a tour or private vehicle. I'm so glad I chose the private vehicle and East Africa Adventure Tours. Fred was very easy to deal with and very accommodating. The hotels were 5-star all the way and were staffed with some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Even though it was the off season, there were so many animals! Also the temperature was mild and there weren't as many tourists either. Lions, leopard, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, hyenas, wart hogs, wilder beasts and endless water buffalo, zebras, impalas, and gazelles. My guide was Leonard, a kind and gentle man with 18 years of tour experience. You could tell he was well liked and respected by his fellow tour guides and staff. He knew the Maasai like the back of his hand! Incredible!Will sign up again the next time I visit Kenya!!!

We had a fantastic time in East Africa. From the beginning Fred was very prompt and accommodating and took care of all the logistics. Within a short time, we had a personalized program to my satisfaction. We included almost everything - White water rafting in the Nile River; Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi; 9 different game parks [I added 2 as we went along]; hot air balloon over Masai and much more! Fred recommended great accommodations and we were very pleased with all the facilities. All 3 drivers in the respective Countries were fantastic - Duke in Uganda; Leonard in Kenya and Sabba in Tanzania. I was very disappointed with the dreadful shape of the roads in all 3 Countries and it didn't help that we were on the go all the time but that is what we opted for. We saw all the different types of animals and birds. I would recommend this trip for anyone and it helps greatly if you have the right tour operator - EAATS :)

Can't say enough positive about the totally enjoyable high value four day trip to Lake Nakura and the Maasai Mara. We chose not to go full bore each day but opted for a leisurely pace with some rest breaks at the resorts. Even with that schedule our amazing guide, driver, and premier game spotter, Sammy, delivered the goods. We saw over thirty different species, several feeding lion prides, the Big Five including a very photogenic male leopard moving about in his favorite tree. Great value. Great fun. Two large elephant herds completed perfectly our last half hour on the trails. Way to go Sammy!! And the 4 x 4 is the way to go.

EAATS is an amazing tour company, to say the least. I was given the task to plan a trip to East Africa (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania) for a group of 10, including kids under 3 and seniors over 70. Our ideal itinerary was very specific and Fred made it come to fruition for us. I was not an easy customer, as I had many questions, requests and itinerary changes in the 10 months it took to plan this trip, but Fred handled each and every one of them promptly and professionally. In the end, the trip was phenomenal...better than any of us could have imagined.

Kudos to East Africa Adventure Tours for the best holiday vacation ever! Tour director Fred put together an outstanding schedule of national parks, game lodges and tent camps,and many game drives. His communication prior to the safari was perfection --answering every question, making adjustments, suggesting alternatives, We ended up with a dream vacation for 4 adults and 3 kids (ages 12, 10 &8). Leonard in Kenya and Saba in Tanzania were excellent guides/drivers. We found the Big 5 quickly but also had many close encounters with other African wildlife in Amboselli, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti and the Masai Mara. These guys know their jobs! I recommend EAAT without reservation-- you can't go wrong no matter what kind of safari experience you want in Esst Africa.A few observations on visiting East Africa in general. It was our first experience! Bring lots of US dollars -- there isn't an ATM In the bush but everyone take $ for visas, food, shopping and tips. Read other reviews for help with tip amounts, extra options on safar like the Masaii Villages, when to visit Africa etc. Expect delays at border crossings but thank goodness English is spoken. Expect long days in your safari vehicle. By all minds choose the Jeep not the van! We really wanted to hit the most park areas in our 10 days for the best chance of seeing lots of animals. Fred will spell out driving times for you so you can figure how much time on the road and how long you will have in camp. I planned two nights in Serengeti and three nights in the Masai Mara. I Am glad allowed more time to relax at the wonderful tented camps there. Wish I had done the same for the Sopa Lodge on the rim of the crater!Fred checks in daily with his drivers,. He and his staff are keenly focused on giving the best service and truly once in their hands, you can relax and enjoy the safari. Don't hesitate--GO!
