Trip of a LIFETIME - 110% Recommended!!!
5/5

A family of 6. My wife and I have safaried several times in Southern Africa but always wanted to take the kids before they settled down with families of their own. 2022 was the year and Tanzania offered the 1-stop safari shopping which fit the busy schedules of all our kids.

From start to finish, 7 Wonders distinguished themselves with customer service and top-notch people. We began with no firm idea in mind but quickly separated 7 Wonders from the other tour operators by the responsiveness of Evelyn and her willingness to make everything fit for our family of 6. 3 weeks of planning and tweaking to settle on a basic itinerary, but hardly a week went by after that we weren't in contact with Evelyn adjusting details and getting insights on travel into Tanzania. She is fabulous and so patient. Never tiring of our questions and responding so that we had her reply in our mailbox each morning (given the time zones, we would send questions before bed, she would have an answer by the time we woke up).

We arranged our own flights into Kilimanjaro International but from there, we were in the hands of 7 Wonders and their friendly, competent staff. 2 separate transfers from the airport before we embarked from Arusha in a luxurious, custom safari vehicle upon our 14 day safari across Northern Tanzania and into Western Serengheti. We were fortunate to be led by George Mollel, who honestly is one of the top guides in Africa.
George has years of experienc with every safari park in Tanzania and had a second sense about where animals could be found. We were often first on the scene and on to the next find before others could crowd the area.

Evelyn knew we were looking for quality lodges and booked us into Serena lodges from Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and over to Western Serengheti in the KiraWira area. Serena is a quality operation and we were fortunate enough to spend several nights at each lodge. With the long days on the trail, it was refreshing to return to a lodge where our bags were already in the room and we could simply shower on the way to dinner.

Perhaps the best thing Evelyn did for us is to convince us to end our trip on the beach in Zanzibar. After 14 days in the dusty safari parks chasing animal sightings from sunup each day, spending a few days at Royal Zanzibar Beach hotel was the perfect way to recover before heading back home.

Go with 7 Wonders and As they say in Tanzania.... Hakuna Matata (No Worries!!!)

We totally enjoyed our experience, this tour is for smb who’s not afraid of challenges of camping trips. All the campsites were beautiful, especially the Serengeti one. Everyone is helpful, great team. Special thanks to our guide Hozza! He really made a difference with his experience & great personality. Chef Nathan’s food was tasty, especially pancakes & soups! Many thanks for making this trip amazing.

Fabulous management and guide made our trip perfect!
5/5

We chose Seven Wonders because they were so responsive when we first started putting our trip together. All along they way, Evelyn listened to what we were looking for and put together the perfect itinerary, making sure that we saw the game we wanted to see, saw a variety of ecosystems, experienced local culture & food and had the perfect place to relax at the end. Our guide George was amazing, like a walking encyclopedia and so in tune with our needs, making us comfortable. We could not be happier and would recommend Seven Wonders completely.

7Wonders was competent, creative, and accomodating at every stage of a wonderful trip
5/5

This trip was a great combination of exciting encounters with amazing wildlife, geography, and ecology on the one hand, and wonderfully accommodating arrangements by the management, guides, and drivers on the other. Every day was a new highlight, from the amazing zoological and botanical cauldron of Ngorongoro Crater to the spontaneous cocktail hour on the Serengeti Plains. Every night's lodgings were simple but comfortable, and the food was ample and excellent. When scheduling complications at the end of the tour made us delay our return flights, 7Wonders arranged and paid for us to stay two more nights in Arusha before departing. We could not have been more pleased!

Incredible Experience!!! 100% Recommend!!!!
5/5

My wife and I went on the 3-Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro African Glamping Safari offered by Seven Wonders Safaris. We had an unbelievable experience!
Evelyn made the entire booking process stress free and was always happy to answer all of our questions with prompt responses.
Our Guide Nestory was incredible. Not only was he kind and funny, he was extremely knowledgeable about the land and wildlife (he provided many interesting facts along the way and knew exactly where to go to spot animals) and was also passionate about his job. We really enjoyed spending time with him throughout the entire journey and became genuine friends by the end. So HUGE thank you to him! We were lucky enough to see a ton of wildlife including the "Big 5"!
Our accommodations were fantastic. We stayed at the Serengeti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp our first night and the Rhino lodge our second night. Both were absolutely beautiful with friendly staff and great food!

This trip really made our dreams come true and Seven Wonders played a huge role in making this an unbelievable experience. I 100% recommend them to anyone looking to have an amazing safari experience!!!

Fantastic tour, amazing staff
5/5

We booked a tour of Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro with 7wonders through another company in Kenya. The Kenyan company were pretty useless with communication & details, but Evelyn at 7wonders was amazing. She picked up the pieces and organised the left-out details. She deserves heaps of praise. Prompt communication, with kindness, understanding & humour. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Our driver/guide Nestory was also superb. He was a great game-spotter and had good knowledge of birds too. We would not have seen such amazing wildlife without his knowledge & telescopic vision!
Chef Steve was excellent.....how do you put together so many great meals with such basic tools???

Thank you for a fabulous trip.

Amazing tour operator with friendly management and staff
5/5

7 Wonders Safaris is an amazing tour operator. I fully recommend them.
We did a private safari of 6 days : Tarangire - Manyara - Serengeti (2days) - Ngorongoro - Lake Natron. Acoomodation in a tent.

What was amazing :
- Our guide/driver Nestory was amazing. So much knowledge about the fauna and flora, the culture and everything. None of our questions weren't answered.
He did everything to make sure we see what we wanted too. I really wanted to see the lionesses hunting, and he make it possible : we were able to see it less than 10m in front of us. I would highly recommend to ask for Nestory as your driver.
- The cook was amazing, we had plenty of tastefully food at each meal.

I would really recommend doing all those parks. I think having two days in Serengeti if possible is really nice, and it is what allowed us to catch the hunting scene.

Thanks again to 7 wonders management and staff, this was an amazing experience thanks to all of you.

Tanzanian tour operator with fantastic value for money
5/5

I can fully recommend 7 Wonders Safaris as a tour operator for both group and private safaris.

My route was Tarangire-Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro (6-days group) and LakeEyasi-LakeNatron (3-days private). Accommodation in tents. What I found particularly great:
1. Our driver Reuben and our cook Kevin were both excellent. Especially Reuben went above and beyond to make sure we see what we want (we did lots of early morning safari drives, had some fantastic safari moments). Also, I had an additional guide at Lake Natron (Moses) who was great.
2. Overall, the safari was well organized with nothing to worry as a participant. E.g. one of our group had to take a PCR test for traveling and that was very well organized while in Serengeti.
3. I had a briefing before and a review session after the trip with 7 Wonder management --> they are really concerned about feedback and are keen to always improve
4. Overall, really great value for money!

In terms of destinations, I can recommend all places except Lake Eyasi (to my taste too much "cultural zoo", not really an authentic encounter with locals). On the other hand, Lake Natron is a fantastic experience, make sure you get some hiking in (e.g. up the Rift Valley Wall or up Ol Doinyo Lengai).

Trip of a lifetime!
5/5

Our first experience in East Africa, my mom and I booked 2 weeks with Seven Wonders Safari. This trip included 1 week throughout Tanzanzia safari, chimpanzees in Uganda and gorillas in Rwanda. We do not even know where to start but this is by far a trip of a life time. Our guides were nothing but fantastic, the food was fantastic and communication with Evelyn was always top notch. We saw the BIG 5 well before our stay was over. Our guide Jose in Tanzania was extremely knowledgeable and always so accommodating. Our stay throughout the National Parks with Tortillas Camps was honestly a highlight of our trip. The staff throughout each camp genuinely care about their guests. The soups are SO divine! Doing anything and everything to make sure you feel at home. Our guide Ronald in Rwanda with Divine Safari recommended we stop at the Genocide Memorial in Kigali, an experience we will not forget and a must do. Our guide Emma in Uganda also with Divine Safari was energetic and fun, brought us to a local banana man where we enjoyed fresh banana juices, wines, and beer. We hope to cross paths again in the future. From the time we landed in Uganda to the time our safari ended in Arusha we felt we had accomplished A LOT in just two short weeks, wishing we had more time to stay. Without a doubt I will be back and booking through Seven Wonders Safari sooner than later. A trip of a life time, thanks to Seven Wonders Safari!
