Experience the Great Migration
Dealing with Seven wonders and Evelyn to arrange my safari for the great migration was a pleasure. I booked within 2 days of arriving in the country and everything was handled from airport pick up right down to the drop off. The experience of visually seeing the great migration was humbling and profound. We were lucky we saw the big five and also an array of rare birds. If you choose to do the overnight camping rather than the lodge options its perhaps more comfortable to bring a few items such as torch, sleeping bag and repellent. An unforgettable experience.

Great experience with great nature!
We were extremely happy with our journey. Thanks to our guide, Hoza, and our chef, Godson.
Hoza is a person who is both strict and polite yet very professional and informative about various topics. Though the tour company is known for highly skilled tour guides, it is rare to find a guide such as Hoza, who is a professional and can care for all customers. I enjoyed casual conversation with Hoza about lifestyle in Tanzania which was eye-opening.
All meals prepared by Godson were delicious! Especially I loved the zucchini soup which I now regret not asking him a recipe. I think he tried his best to cook food that accepted by most diversity, which included spaghetti to rice. I appreciate that, but I wanted to enjoy some of more local recipes too!
The tour itself was equally good! With our tight schedule, Everlyn, the coordinator, restructured the whole travel so that we would not miss a thing while we are in great nature which was truly thoughtful. We saw the big five, the great migration of zebras and wild beasts, the endless plains of Serengeti, the animal paradise of Ngorongoro. Each of the experiences was astonishing. Everything I saw made me speechless. This tour truly is a life experience.
Though--I cannot emphasize more that this is none of the tour company nor guide's fault, yet, unfortunately, our travel companions were (simply put) terrible. They were gullible, arrogant, filthy, ugly, uneducated, and shameless African Americans who cannot respect this great nature but constantly murmur about the most trivial "problem" they can find to bother both the guide and other customers. (If you happen to be one of those who cannot show some respects to the locals/culture or only care about how many "likes" your selfies can get, do me a favor and don't travel at all. They are truly a cancer of tourism.) I feel sorry for Hoza for what he had to go through; regardless, he tried his best to accommodate all those uneducated swine while trying to be fair to the rest of the pack. That is, after driving more than 11 hours of bumpy roads of safaris! It was truly shameful! I feel sorry for the tour company, that a customer can freely pick a company, but not vice versa.
All in all, we were very happy with what we experienced and all of the services which we receive from Seven Wonder Safari and Hoza. With all the hospitality which they offered, we now only wish to come back again to Tanzania in the future (perhaps with longer periods with a little more flexible schedule), and when we do, hopefully, we do have a better tour companion.

An excellent company to work with
7 Wonders safaris is an excellent safari company to work with. Evelyn, Maurice and George were very responsive and thorough in responding to my questions. Their long history and experience ensures that you will receive a quality Safari. Rather than camping, we chose the mid comfort accommodations. We were very, very happy with the ones they chose for us. Especially the tented camp in the Serengeti, run by very professional young Maasai men, was outstanding. The Rhino lodge, in the Ngorongoro crater, had a magnificent dining room with two back to back fireplaces. The chef there provided some of the best food we had eaten in Tanzania.
We appreciated having Fadili as our 4 x 4 Safari driver, he had decades of experience and it showed in his handling of the vehicle and safety on the road. He also has attended Safari Guide school and was great at spotting the animals, birds and pointing out special trees and plants.
We highly recommend their excellent services,
Connie and Paul

Budget Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
Myself and 3 friends did a 3 day/2 night safari with Seven Wonders in July 2019. We are all students so our main reason for choosing Seven Wonders for our safari was their prices - they were definitely the cheapest of all the companies we looked at. We chose to joint up with other people to bring the cost down and were matched with a lovely Spanish couple. I am very glad to say the lower price tag in no way compromised our trip. We saw a almost every animal you could think of over the 3 days (lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebra, giraffe, even a leopard and a rhino and many many more). We were definitely very lucky that we saw so much, but our driver was great and really put the effort in to ensure we saw as much as possible.
The lower cost of this safari meant our truck was a little bit older than the other ones we saw in the park and our food at meal times probably wasn't as fancy as people got with other companies, but honestly that makes we barely noticed the difference! We each still had a window seat in the truck and our meals were delicious and we camped in the same camp sites as everyone else so if I was to do another safari I would definitely go with a budget company like seven wonders again.
Evelyn was really easy to deal with during the booking process, she answered all of my questions and was very attentive to our needs both before and after the safari.
So for a budget safari I could not recommend Seven Wonders enough, it really was worth every penny!

Unforgettable experience
My wife and I spent amazing 5-day camping safari with Seven Wonders!
The communication with Evelyn was very efficient and clear from the beginning. Our guide Hossa was super professional and we saw the Big Five and like 20+ new mammals. Guide's wildlife knowledge, dinner stories and customer understanding were on really good level. He really pushed hard to get a journey of a lifetime. Special thanks to our chef Gottfied also, who managed to prepare delicious dinner in basic camping environment.
We saw cheetah family chasing and making a meal of warthogs. Lioness was chasing on buffalos and hyenas feasting on zebra carcass. Authentic and amazinf stuff!
I had really high expetations to the safari, but all of them were exceeded with 7 Wonders. Highly recommended!

Amazing!
I did the 6-Day Big Five Camping Safari and couldn't have been more pleased!
From the beginning, with Evelyn's help and clarification of all doubts, passing by the excellent Hose driver who accompanies us throughout the journey, "hunting" almost all animals and giving us the best explanations, and ending with our chef, who made me put on a few pounds.
They were all very kind and helpful, I'm very grateful to them!
Regarding the program, I think I chose the most complete one and it allowed me to see everything I wanted. I highly recommend it, I loved the experience!

Well organized, good communication, experienced driver
We did a four day camping safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Seven Wonders and had a perfect time! We can definitely recommend the length (two days at Serengeti), much longer would have been too exhausting. The owner Evelyn was very friendly and helpful from the beginning and took really good care of us during the trip. Our driver was very experienced and friendly but not too enthusiastic about the whole trip. Our group was great, all around the same age and from different countries. Two of us stayed at lodges and had to be transferred to different places in the evenings, which made it a little complicated sometimes. But our overall experience was very good, we almost saw all of the big five (except rhinos) and would definitely recommend it!

Very fantastic time in our life
During our safari we were well supported by our guide hosa. Always helpful and friendly. Many good infos also. We also liked the locations kilimanjaro, lake manyana, serengeti and ngorongoro crater. So beautiful animals and landscapes. Always supportive by tour operator and guides. Most of the hotels we liked.

A nice experience (after the diarrhoea)
More information on the locations can be found on these blogs:
SERENGETI - http://welshmattsmith.blogspot.com/2019/10/tanzania-safari-to-go-on-safari.html
NGORONGORO - http://welshmattsmith.blogspot.com/2019/10/tanzania-creatures-in-crater.html
The pre-trip communication was good, with Evelyn being a quick and helpful responder. This was important as Air Tanzania changed our flight time by 4 hours, which would have resulted in us missing the first day of the tour. Her quick replies helped us make a decision to get a different flight.
The safaris were great - a great number of animals and we saw something interesting each time we got into the car. Having done many safaris, the guide wasn't as enthusiastic or informative as I expected. He also sometimes didn't explain his decisions - we passed a herd of elephants at speed and I hadn't seen any that day - it turned out that he was getting us quickly to see a leopard, but that message wasn't relayed at the time. Nonetheless, he made us feel safe and looked after us the whole time.
The food was reasonable considering the cook only had one hob to use. The cook was very helpful, particularly when I was sick, and I was a bit horrified to find that he had to sleep in the kitchen and didn't have his own tent or share with the guide.
Having had diarrhoea for about 24 hours in the Serengeti, I would recommend that toilet roll is taken in the car. I got lucky that someone else gave me some of theirs.
Overall we had a very nice time.

Good safari, great customer service
We went for a 10 day safari, 3 in kenya on the Maasai Mara, with then a transfer to Arusha and several days more of safari, including Ngorogoro and the Serengetti.
Evelyn for 7 wonders is great, she took care of everything and if there was a small issue she solved it straight away. Accomodations were all as advertised and sometimes better. Staff on the safari's was good (though our kenyan driver Benson was a bit of a hustler)
all in all would definitely recommend
