East Africa Travel Agents & Reviews

 A wonderful and memorable trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. The trip was well organized and custom made to our specifications. We were looking for a local safari outfitter as we wanted to help the local small businesses and we found our perfect fit in this travel company. Our tour guide/driver was the best. He has an uncanny ability to find wildlife, and at the same time can brew the best Tanzanian coffee in his land cruiser. Our whole trip from start to finish was well organized without any issues. Would highly recommend this travel company if you are considering a local safari outfitter in Tanzania.  

Our couple's trip to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar was truly amazing and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We went to Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar over two weeks.

Zicasso’s travel agency made it an easy and seamless experience. They communicated well, took care of us before we landed, and provided guidance on everything we needed, including what to pack.

After we landed, they met us at the airport, provided all transfers, and had their experienced drivers transport us around the country and take us on game drives. We loved our time with our guides in Kenya and Tanzania.

We were also able to visit a Maasai village and learn about their culture. It was wonderful to talk over campfires and learn about their experiences.

The service at every camp and hotel was exceptional, and whenever we had a question or issue, our agent was quickly available to triage.

We would, without hesitation, highly recommend a trip like this! Do it!

Our agent gave us the most magical trip and was able to keep it within our budget.

Our three-week trip was fantastic. The Zicasso travel company made some great recommendations to make our trip a success.

This was a trip of a lifetime! The details large and small were flawless, leaving us to enjoy the trip with no worries.

We started in Kenya. All accommodations were beautifully appointed and the staff were very friendly. The locations were strategic, allowing us to view different animals based on the area. Our first stop was Lewa Conservancy, where the rhinos and the grazing animals were the highlight. Then, in Maasai Mara, the migration and hippos were the draw. We also viewed the migration from a hot-air balloon, which gave a different perspective. Naboisho Conservancy is known for its cats and it did not disappoint. We saw leopards, a lion pride with 17 babies, and a cheetah hunting a gazelle.

We then traveled to Uganda to visit the gorillas and were nervous because it was considered a level 3 advisory by the US Department of State. However, once we were there, we felt very comfortable and were glad we went. Trekking with the gorillas was a highlight of our trip. We did two trips and each was very different.

The small details like the transfers, having help through the airports, and ensuring we had packed lunches when traveling from one location to another were flawless. This trip was complicated and on past trips the transfers were always the weak link. Zicasso’s travel company nailed it.

We would highly recommend this trip!

The trip organization was excellent. Despite many changes, the Zicasso tour agency was on top of all the changes and made the trip successful and memorable.

Our agent organized a climb with a guide and his team of porters, cooks, etc. I cannot recommend the guide and his team enough. They were the best I have had over the past years. I will recommend them to anyone wanting to climb Kili.

This was our group's first trip to Africa and it did not disappoint! Throughout the process, the Zicasso travel agency was quick to respond to our questions (there were a lot) and was on top of every detail. Our agents did a great job selecting the safari sights (Madikwe, Sabi Sabi, and Vic Falls), which allowed us to experience the differences in terrain and vegetation. We also enjoyed the small lodges. All of our transfers were seamless!

Zicasso's travel company was exceptional from beginning to end. They presented us with many options based on our preferences and had great advice on how to make the most of our once-in-a-lifetime trip. The lodges we stayed at on safari were wonderful, the staff took care of every need and the trackers/rangers were very knowledgeable and made our game drives so memorable. We really got to know everyone while we were there.

The beach getaway to Mozambique was also a great suggestion. The boutique hotel catered to us throughout our stay, offering incredible personal service, privacy when desired, and suggestions to make our stay even better. The day trip to Bazaruto Island was perfect.

Our agents answered every question we had throughout the planning process and made the entire trip seamless, with every detail covered.

I could not have imagined how smoothly everything would go; the stays, transfers etc. It couldn't have been better.

The trip of a lifetime. Far exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was outstanding. His knowledge of animals, birds,  plants, and the people was incredible. A wonderful personality. Every day our vehicle was spotless; quite a feat considering all the dust. Each accomedation was unique and different from each other. This was a custom designed safari by the travel agency and was unique and wonderful. We experienced things a normal safari would not.
