Seven By Far Tours is a friendly, well organised and helpful tour operator
Seven By Far Tours was recommended to us by some friends who had travelled to Kenya several times using the company to organise their trips. Sylvester and his team planned a detailed itinerary for us and were highly flexible and accommodating when we made suggestions to adapt the trip to our needs. The planning and execution of the trip were excellent, and the chosen accommodation fully met or exceeded our expectations on every occasion. Our thanks must go especially to our driver Hassan, who showed great skill in negotiating the vagaries of the terrain and finding the best locations for us. He was also very knowledgeable and supplied us with interesting facts and information as we went along.
As keen bird and wildlife photographers, we can be somewhat demanding and 'difficult' when it comes to positioning the vehicle to make the most of the light conditions and photographic opportunities. However, Hassan soon realised what was required, was always very helpful and showed great skill and patience in manoeuvring the vehicle to ensure we got the shots we wanted. The abundant wildlife that Hassan found for us in all the places we visited gave us many great photo opportunities.
Thanks to all the Seven By Far team for arranging a thoroughly enjoyable and successful trip!

The Maasai Mara Veteran!
My family and I did an unforgettable 3 day tour of the Masai Mara with Ephraim who was our excellent tour guide for the following reasons.
Punctual - he was always on time. Whatever time you agreed on, he was there!
Knowledgeable - we could tell that he has a lot of experience touring the Mara. He was like a walking encyclopedia pointing out the different animals and giving detailed explanations about their habitat. It felt like we had a real-time National Geographic narrator. He knew where to spot the wild life and when best to do the game drives. He had a good rapport with the other game drivers and staff who offered pointers on latest animal spotting which made our exploration that much more fun. He also explained the different towns as we traversed from Nairobi to the Mara.
Hospitable - Ephraim made us feel at home in his awesome cool Land Cruiser with the retractable roof top. He made sure we were comfortable, well hydrated and often checkin to make sure he could accommodate any of our requests. He was very personable and engaged the whole family.
Cautious - Ephraim was a very good driver. He was able to navigate the off-road terrain and kept to the speed limit on the highway. We felt very safe.
We look forward to doing future trips with Ephraim!

Exceptionally Reliable and Dependable knowledgeable team whose professionalism can’t be questioned
Exceptionally reliable and greatly dependable tour operator with in-depth knowledge of nature. Excellent communicator who tailors your tour needs based on your budget whilst ensuring that you get great quality and value for your investment.
Guide Muriithi has been in the industry for a long time and is well versed with nature and knows what animals are found in which park or game reserve. He’s also very keen on the guests’ comfort and his recommendations for hotels never disappoint.
His professionalism is evident in how he responds to guests’ needs and requests. His attitude is excellent and can be trusted with children. He’s very punctual and easily accommodates reasonable requests that are not part of the package.
Organizes individual, family and group tours with lots of ease and is very resourceful with lots of information about any form of tour.
Imara Destinations Africa is my all time go to tour operator. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a thrill nature ride.

Magical experience - great guides, good service and so many animals
My partner and I embarked on our first Safari together. Our expectations were matched by Serengeti smile as a result of their welcoming, informative and chilled service.
They picked us up at our hotel promptly at 8am the first morning, we were greeted with cold bottles of water in the car which I'm sure you can imagine, in the hot weather was very needed! They continued to provide snacks like peanuts and other little bits throughout the day.
As we progressed to the different areas, they provided facts and information about the land, animals and tribes which was good as it adds that educational layer.
The tour guides always seemed like they had our best interest at heart, getting the good spots to see the animals and pointing out little things that we may have missed, for example a Dung beetle pushing a pile of poop with his little friend on it (you can imagine, this is fairly hard to spot in the Serengeti while driving)
I think the experience was good value for money (it was the most cost effective in comparison to the rest of the options), ways in which this trip could be improved is by providing better quality and more thoughtful packed lunch and upgrading the accommodation provided (the first accommodation was a tented camp, which was a great experience but not particularly luxury) however the 2nd lodge was lovely, it had better food options and better facilities. I think my partner and I largely share this opinion due to being foodies and having quite high expectations, so given that I would say the accommodation and food were sufficient but just not up to our standards. I also think that organising the permits well ahead of time would reduce any wait times and delays which in turn would improve the overall experience and make it more seamless.
Nonetheless, we had the most amazing experience - we saw all of the animals except for the Leopard, it was truly magical and we would 100% recommend this to anyone!

If you are looking for the best safari tour guy then you found him!
I’ll start by saying, if you think about him, choose him!
Solomon is the best driver we could have found and the best tour guy in Tanzania!
He knows everything about everywhere and every animal, he will do anything to find you all the best location and rare animals, he can find animals hiding in the bushes with his bare eyes where I barely could’ve found them with the binuclear And the most important he knows every route and never get lost (which some other tour guys are getting lost sometimes).
We had the best experience with him and I’m highly recommending about him, you will have the best safari experience that can be!
Go King Solomon!
