Personal attention. High quality. Amazing value. Eager to please customers.
Fantastic company and staff. I booked 7-day budget camping safari and 3 days of individual custom tours. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE in all regards. EXCELLENT VALUE. Personal, caring, and fast attention from booking, picking you at the airport upon arrival, all the way to taking you to the airport the last day. First day owner came to hotel to introduce himself and explain my booking. He even invited me lunch in local restaurant! First night and last night in Hotel Venice in Arusha were excellent. 7-day budget safari camping was an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. Our chef’s food was fantastic every day. Frank our driver/guide knew the best time and place to be to see the best of everything AWESOME. He provided an amazing amount of information on plants, animals, and culture. Got great photos of the Big Five and much more. Tents were sturdy and in great condition. Campsites were basic, clean, and in great condition. 3 individual custom days were outstanding: Kilimanjaro Mandara Huts hike; Maasai village visit; Hot spring visit. Every day I had a driver and a knowledgeable local guide. For example, local Maasai villager that took me around village, explain customs and local knowledge, and took me to the local market. These Foot Slopes staff are knowledgeable, motivated, and ready to do what it takes to please their customers. Trust them and enjoy!

Fantastic!
Simon of East African Safari Co created a wonderful, well-tailored travel safari for our group of 3. We did a long safari of 16 days and he made it very interesting, varied and covered all of the area highlights. We visited five national parks/area and also had numerous interactions with the local population and culture. The staff was outstanding (we LOVED our guide), food was excellent and the lodging was very nice. All of this was done for nearly 1/2 of what other safari companies were charging. Simon was in frequent contact with us over our four months of planning and responded quickly to any questions or needs we had. Overall, we had the best time and highly recommend East African Safari company. We are looking forward to our next trip to eastern Africa and will certainly use EAST Co again in the future.

Awesome Safari Lake Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro.
We had such an amazing safari ; I'm so happy we went with his company. The safari was incredible in that we saw the Big 5 and so many other wildlife.Our tour guide was a constant source of knowledge and fun, With Mercury Zanzibar Safari we hope to do safaris again and we recommend them to our family and friends. Hakuna matata.
Gabriel, the owner of Foot Slopes, is very responsive. Between the time we booked and the actual saf
Between the time we booked and the actual safari some things were changed but they worked out in our favor. If you want o see the Olduvai Gorge make sure that he knows that as we had to take a detour to see it. It is worth seeing as the museum is completed and you can visit the ruins.

Great vacation in Rwanda
Very progressive country. View of the countryside is eye pleasing, very clean and roads are mostly all well paved. Chimpanzee and gorilla trekking are a bit a challenge, exciting but also satisfying when successful. Our tour company guides took care of us very well. 100% reliable. Thank you

3 day safari and 3 day beach Excellent holida
I have just returned home after a 2 week holiday in Tanzania visiting family and we did a 6 day trip with Eastco . It was not our first trip to East Africa nor will it be our last. We had previously been on safari so as we were visiting family in Tanzania we decided to do a 3 night visit to Tarangire staying at Boundary Hill Lodge and 3 nights on the beach at Tanga. Boundary Hill Lodge was excellent, plenty of wildlife especially birds. The lodge overlooking the savannah below was private, comfortable and the food excellent in the extreme.
We spent a day driving to Tanga from Tarangire and stayed at Eastco's camp right on the beach. What a beautiful spot. The tide in the morning went way out so if you wanted an early morning swim, a walk was required first.
On our last day there it rained all day, really heavy, but this didn't spoil the fun.
The highlights here would've been the walk around the village and the peace and quiet.
The tents were simple but for a beach holiday with sand everywhere what more do you need.
The drive down was interesting with stops at Moshi, Same and Segera. The children loved the fresh fruit bought by the roadside. All in all it was an excellent 6 day trip and Eastco did an excellent job. I work with a lady who has also visited East Africa with Eastco and they also had a fantastic trip.
Tanga is beautiful, and different.

Best Safari, best Guide, best experience!
Rezension QT
Me and my wife had a great time with Qualified Tours! Our Guide Mdee was very friendly and we had a lot of fun in our car driving around the different national parks.
He was always open for questions and individual wishes while always helping us with his experience making decisions e.g. regarding our time schedule.
Our car was very comfortable, had a little fridge and the possibility for charging our phones or our camera.
With Mdee we saw the big five, a hunting lion, the Impressive crossing of hundreds of wildbeest of the Mara River and a lot more.
He also told us a lot about tanzanian culture and also some swahili words. He even organized a little surprise birthday party for my wife by our nice maasai hosts of the maasai giraffe eco lodge at Lake Natron.
We simply had an unforgettable time with Qualified Tours and we strongly recommend to do your safari with them. Of course you have to be lucky when doing safaris since nature is unpredictable but they did everything to make our trip the best we ever had.

Awesome tour!
This tour was amazing! The guides were really great with so much knowledge on culture and animals. They're very informative which is really helpful. Our cook did the most amazing job with beautiful meals and providing for personal dietary requirements. All the staff are really friendly, helpful and work hard. The tour was a lot of fun and involved everything I was hoping to do and so much more! The tour met and went way beyond my expectations! I highly recommend East African Safari company to anyone searching for a real African experience and a great time!

Phenomenal and Magnificent Escapade
My OH My! I do not know where to begin.
I am definitely not one of the easiest of people to deal with. I am a lady of perfection and I indeed got the best of the best from a gentleman by the name of Kelvin Mbugua. Patience is what he had on his sleeve for me. It was a last minute adventure that I wanted to the Mara with my family and he gave me an outstanding deal alongside support.
Born and Raised in Kenya- I was taking my mom for the Migration for the first time and I was not going to settle for nothing but the best. Mr. Simon (Known to my Mother) linked us up with his representative, Kelvin. - No Regrets!
His knowledge on the park and different properties amazed me not forgetting his honesty unlike others who sugarcoat deals just so as to sell the property. Emayian Luxury Camp is where he proposed for us to stay and trust me when I say this-He was not wrong at all.
Right from the beginning we set off on the right path. Once I agreed on the deal-I did not need to worry as everything else was taken care of. From the transport pick-up to the journey, arrival, accommodation, park adventures etc he was SPOT ON! Checked on us from time to time and ensured that the best was provided.
Our Driver- Mr Kenneth, was extremely polite and very well educated on the park and journey itself. He was patient and very accommodating. The vehicle itself was well maintained and It is to my word that If I am to book a trip again (Which I will do) I am taking Kenneth alongside with me.
The Camp itself was out of this world. Excellent members of staff, Clean, Great Food and Ambiance- Way to go BONFIRE. I will definitely return someday soon.
All in all- I know it is said that the "Customer is always Right" but in this case my attendee from Bonfire was always right in advise. I respect him and he is definitely the reason why my vacation and first time experience for my mom to the Mara was worthwhile.
I salute you Bonfire for having a great team on board who attract customers like myself. Additionally, I repeat-Emayian being one of your properties is definitely one of the best I have stayed in.
I highly recommend this Travel Agency especially if you are picky and you do not have the time nor patience for "Dilly Dally".
P.S Choose Kelvin to plan your trip and let Kenneth take you on that ride!
Cheers Bonfire & Much Love!
