Best day of my life, at peace in nature
Hello! I’m an American woman and was on business in Dar es Salaam when I met Rodger from Maredori Travel And Tours. I decided to do 2 days 1 night in Mikumi, with a drive back to Dar es Salaam. I absolutely cannot recommend this tour enough. I cared first and foremost about safety, and truly felt taken care of and extremely safe the full length of the tour. Rodger packed water, food, and filled the safari car with gas and off we went! The accommodations in the park were very clean, private, and in fact also breathtaking as I’d wake up to baboons and Impala outside of my window. Rodger, the guide, knew everything about the animals and ecology of the land, I felt like I was in a National Geographic movie! We saw elephants, zebra, tons of lions and cubs, warthogs, giraffes, hippos, and much more. The sunsets in Mikumi are absolutely stunning as well, I’ve never seen skies that colorful and open. Rodger let me stop for plenty of pictures from the safari car and he even took photos of me with the animals in the background. I highly recommend this tour, seriously it is a weekend I’ll never forget. 10 out of 10!!!

Seven Wonders Safari gave us an Amazing experience. Thank you Evelyn and George!
We had a seventeen day safari with Seven Wonders. Words can't describe just how wonderful the experience was or how great Seven Wonders Safaris was. Evelyn and George met us in Rowanda and Nicolas took us to our Gorilla trek. We were there for five days with one day of Gorilla trekking. We did get to see the Gorilla's in the wild and it was an amazing experience. The tourism for the Gorilla's is providing the funding that is helping to preserve their habitat and protect them. We also did a walking tour in Kigali that was very good. We were in Rowanda for 5 days and flew to Arusha for another 12 days driving with George. He was AMAZING. One of the kindest men you will ever meet. His Love, Knowledge and Passion for the animals and joy at being able to share them with his guests was evident in his every action. His ability to spot animals at great distances while navigating rough roads was uncanny. He has some sort of Spidy sense! He wanted to take us off the beaten paths and give us a more authentic experience.
We went back and forth with Evelyn early on to customize our trip and accommodations. She was wonderful to work with and delivered an incredible experience. We wanted a local, smaller, Tanzanian based safari company and feel so lucky that we entrusted this once in a life time experience with Seven Wonders Safari's!
Advice;
We upgraded a few hotels and were very happy with our accommodations but I would discuss having hotels close to the game drives or even tented camps closer to the game drives.
Make sure the company does not have mileage limits. Seven Wonders does not but some companies limit how many miles their guides can drive. This can mean that you may not get out away from the crowds.
Bring more cash for tipping. Small bills, lots of 5's. You can easily go through $1,000 a week in tips. And if you get George as your guide you will want to tip him as much as you can......
Thank You Evelyn and George, from the bottom of our hearts. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!

A fantastic day to Jinja and Nile River
To see the beauty of Beautiful source of Nile River and to have an amazing experience of wildlife of various variety of bird, we moved with East African Jungle Safaris for a 4 day tour. At a very first sight we just saw the amazing source of this great river. After that we got into a boat- and got a chance to be so close to the vast variety of birds, as well as others. The boat driver was also very respectful to the wildlife and so he go as slow as I liked. Here also can do some more to explore or fun like guided forest walk, bird watching or tree hugging. Overall it was a great experience at Jinja. Thanks to this company for this amazing pleasure.

The best.
Many animals were seen. The rice was delicious and comfortable to sleep. Showers can be hot or cold. If you can speak a little English, it will be nice. I think it's a pretty good tour company.

Zilla Expeditions gave us the perfect Zanzibar & Arusha tour we needed
Communication with Zilla Expeditions was flawless, with their help we managed to do more than we expected within our budget.
Zilla gave us the perfect tour through Zanzibar where we ended our 2019 and Arusha where we started our 2020.
Thanks to them i fell in love with the underwater world and snorkelling became my new hobby. With their help and guidance, we had the best tour to date

Wonderful trip to Africa!
Our Safari was very smooth, from day 1 to the last day, everything was perfect! Our driver Vincent was professional, we did not have any language barrier and he taught us a lot of knowledge of animals! Safari was very pleasant, and we saw all big 5. Well, I will recommend Sino Africa Safari to anybody. They are most reliable and their drivers are prefessional! We miss Africa already, and we want to come back!

Africa's Perfect Tour
We made a custom trip to Kenyan safari, and our trip went to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, and Navasa. Although no major animal migration was seen in Kenya in March, it was the fifth largest in Africa. The lion was right in front of our car, which was very interesting! Our drivers are also very good and would like to explain for us. Thank you very much for the arrangement Sino Africa Safari! See you next time in Tanzania!

Awesome tour - saw 3/5 game animals - beautiful views - highly recommend!
The Pilanesburg tour was great! We saw 3 of the 5 main game and got a lot closer to elephants than I expected (technically they got closer to us). Next time I'll have to stay overnight so I can go for a dusk or dawn safari to be able to potentially see the cats (lions & leopards). Saw lots of other animals too; warthogs, giraffes, zebras, impalas, etc. Beautiful views in an old volcano setting and the tour guide / ranger, Warren, was very informative and knowledgeable about the area and animals.
