Totally reccomended
We had a REALLY nice experience with barafu tours doing de Lemosho route. I was quite nervous for being my first time in such a high mountain, but they make sure you have a great time, safe and funny. They take care of you at any time you need, provide with super good food during all the week, and give you some very important advice about the mountain and how to face this adventure. We are so grateful to all the team: guides cook and porters. They were all amazing professionals and amazing people of human kind. You feel like in your own family with them. Totally reccomend!! And Kili was just a dream come true

Good service
4 days Safari + Tribes tour
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was combined with another group, who had different (budget package), thus I was losing 2 hours per day (30 min to wait for them to put up a tent + 30 min to go to my place and same in the morning 30 min to go to their place + 30 min waiting for them to pack everything in a car). Not sure if that is the best practice - to combine groups with different budget
- Food was okay, but almost the same every day (eggs for breakfast, cold lunch, chicken for dinner)
- Tented camps were great with hot water and all you need
- Guide was great, knew everything and answered all questions (his name was Hozza) - a very intelligent guy and a good driver
- Tribes visit and market was great + really great guide Peter was very helpful there
Organization of the trip didn't meet my expectation (combination with a budget group), but tented camps and super guide Hozza exceeded my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Seven Wonders Safaris to others

Professional but affordable shared safari tour
Best safari for amazing price!
After researching our safari options we started communicating with Serengeti Wakanda on Whatsapp and got immediately offers based on our requirements, answers to all our questions and felt safe that we will be picked up on the airport and go to Arusha where tour operator booked accommodation for the nights before and after the safari (all included in the price of the safari). The communication was top!
Next day we started our 4 days trip through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our amazing chef Sule and great guide Francis. Words cant describe hiw good Sule was cooking even for us 2 vegans. Francis told us all about the animals in the parks and made our days full extraordinary experiences,he even taught us some swahili which came handy for the rest of our vacation.
The camping sites and the accommodation had all the necessary facilities like charging docks, showers etc.
After we returned we realized every cent of the price was worth it and adequate to the lifetime experience.
Specially during covid times the professional communication and service of Serengeti Wakanda was very appreciated!

Good experience
Kilimanjaro, Marangu route:
Communication was quick and clear
Service:
- I was assigned with 6 porters (solo trip), which I believe is too much (there were 5 porters for a group of 2)
- Food is okay, but almost the same every day + they have not asked me about allergies and my preferences before the trip, thus I was not eating half of what they gave to me, but still, it was enough to be full
- Stuff was friendly
- They assigned additional porter for me during summit night (last minute call) and expected additional tips for that
Everything met my expectations
Overall, I would recommend Migration Venture Africa for summiting Kilimanjaro

The best ever !!!
My family has known Benson for over 20 years long before he owned Ngoko. He has always been an outstanding guide and we have taken at least 6 trips with him. Every time we go we think that the last safari cannot be as good as the last one and EVERY time it is even more wonderful. We all cannot say enough about him and his company, Since Fiona's entrance our booking has become a real pleasure. Thanks to you both.

This has been a crazy year, we had to do something to loosen up a little bit.
Called up the squad after we realized that the curve was flattening and decided to take a little trip out of town. Having interacted with the secretariat at Hyrax Safaris on previous tours, we decided to try out with them and they never disappointed. From the planning, payment, hospitality and travel, everything was just wonderfully done. I was on this trip to blow off steam coz of work so I missed out on seeing the elephants at Amboseli but let's just say I'll be redoing the trip again with them coz they were amazing. As soon as the next trip is up, am sure I'll be joining coz you can never get enough on the road.
So Hyrax, tag me along as soon as COVID allows us to travel again.

Wonderful - and varied - safari experiences with a first-class guide
On a recent trip to Nairobi we booked a trip to Naivasha with Gametrackers which was so good we booked a trip to Amboseli for the following weekend. On both occasions we were really lucky to have Adrian to guide us. He has a degree in wildlife conservation, and knows a remarkable amount about the birds and animals, and about conservation and the ways in which the human environment is encroaching on the wildlife. Adrian also has quite remarkable eyesight, with an ability to spot and recognise animals in the distance that we could hardly see, which hugely enhanced our experience of the trips.
I would also recommend all of the trips we took.
The boat trip on Lake Naivasha was wonderful, not just seeing fish eagles, king-fishers and hippopotamus on the lake, but also seeing game onshore from the lake.
We took the cycle tour of the Hells Gate park, just near Naivasha, which is an extraordinary trip. Not only the freedom of being able to cycle through the park, past warthogs and buffalo, zebra and wildebeest, but also the geography of the park, with dramatic cliffs and gorges.
The the second weekend we went to Amboseli - a four hour drive but well worth it. The Amboseli reserve has a range of environments from marsh and swamp to dry savannah, all under the enormous presence of Kilamanjaro. We saw lions after a kill, elephants walking past the camp at breakfast, and most memorably, when Adrian spotted some bat-eared foxes with cubs, a Martial Eagle flew down and took one of the cubs.
I'd strongly recommend Gametrackers for putting together a custom tour to meet your needs. We had tremendous trips.

Great Safari
Amazing safari. We saw more than we expected. The guide - Ezekiel - was very helpful, punctual and stopped when we wanted to take some photos. He showed us animals that we would not notice. Great knowledge! I look forward to visiting Tanzania again, along with of course Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Epic Safari
My family and I planned a migration safari to Maasai Mara National Reserve. We started communicating with Phyllis and she was very reliable, patient and quick to answer all our questions via email. She was very professional and timely and gave us a very good package for 3 days to Maasai Mara where we had our accomodations at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge. The rooms were very neat and their food very delicious. Our driver George, enaured that we had an opportunity to spot all the Bigfive. We highly recommend anyone looking for a Kenyan safari to engage Millennium Tours and Travel.

very good support and implementation of our individual safari
we (2 girlfriends 50 years old) had already planned the safari in April, because of Corona we could not fly to Kenya. The communication with Isaac was without complications. He offered us directly, as soon as we knew a new date, he would ask for our desired lodges.
We were able to book a flight at short notice in October and again Isaac was always there to help us and could confirm all bookings. Several changes had to be made to the schedule, but all were quickly implemented.
We suggested our own lodges and the price was ok. Our driver Mike took good care of us and fulfilled all our wishes. He was a very pleasant attendant.
It has to be mentioned that we have already done several safaris with other operators and Mike was the first driver who also changed clothes every day and was very polite to us.
We will definitely plan and realize our next safari again with Isaac and his team.
