An Amazing, Unforgettable Experience
I was very happy with the overall planning process. I wanted to combine three excursions in one trip - a camping safari, Mt Kilimanjaro climb and Zanzibar beach time. East Africa Wild Adventures was great to provide me with several options varying in experience and price range involving the three excursions to ensure I could appropriately assess the best experience for me. The staff went so far as to inquire and find me a volunteer position for a week as I wanted to include that as part of my trip as well. Every request I had was accommodated with enthusiasm.
The logistics of the trip were very smooth. Most importantly, I felt safe and cared for every step of the way. As a solo female traveller, this was of utmost importance. I had a dedicated team for every excursion who was very helpful and attentive.
The safari was one of the best experiences of my life. My guide was very good at spotting wildlife and driving our car! You could tell he had lots of experience and loved what he did. He made sure I was comfortable and I had complete discretion as to how much time I wanted to spend in any one place.
I really appreciated my tailored experience in Tanzania and would gladly work with East Africa Wild Adventures for my future travels in Africa.

Best experience seeing wildlife in a wonderful landscape
We enjoyed a lot our experience in Kenya. We saw lots of animals and learnt a lot about them. We were guided toward excellent landscapes and drived secure in the middle of difficult paths. Both, tour guide and driver are excellent profesionals. Both were kind and amazing. We enjoyed their way of travelling, out of the typical tourist routes but without losing the most important scenaries and qualities of the people in the country.

Very nice trip!
We had a lot of expectations about the trip (and all were fulfilled pretty nice) and about the accommodation but there were some troubles in two lodges, but Matoke Tours fixed them well.
We have a very good and professional guide and driver!

Though we are not travelers, we contacted seven by far travel to inquiry itinerary and quotation in Kenya for our clients who wanted to do a combined tour of Ethiopia and Kenya. We; being a tour operator in Ethiopia was impressed by their quickest reply especially since the request was sent on Saturday. We received their response after a few hours. If you are looking to finalize your travel plan fast, then seven far is an ideal travel organizer.And regarding their price you should negotiate further.

Great!
Manyara Ranch(3 days)- Very good wildlife- Lots of elephants; giraffe; goose; jakal; lions; buffalo; Zebra; waterbucks, stripped yeana, etc. Good and comfortable camp; very friendly people. good food; good guide.
North Serengeti (Nomad Safari camp 3 days)- fantastic wildlife- lions (big prides); leopard; chitas; black Rhino; hypo; crocks; Eland; Yena; bat eared fox and of course Zebra, wildebeest and the cross of the Mara river (unforgettable). Big variety of scenarios, from big plains to more thick bush. Green landscapes and showers during the night, but nice temperatures and sunshine during the day. Facilities at Nomad Camp were excellent and we had a feeling of being in Africa. Food was very good, personal very friendly and professional and the guide very competent and diligent.
Ikuka- Ruaha (4 days). fantastic views; very good scenic beauty. Dry miombo forest (quite different from Serengeti). Lost of elephants, giraffes; Zebra;birds; buffalo; some waterbucks; some Elands; fantastic sunsets; but we were not lucky enough to see big cats (only one lion far away). The resort was very good. great room with fantastic views excellent food; friendly staff; very professional runned; our guide Habibo, was excellent: very competent; very diligent with a remarkable knowledge about the fauna and flora.
The cons: Tse Tse flies in Serengeti and Ruaha may be annoying. We got a few bites through our clothes. So far no disease (more than one month over).
The organization (Paul Tickner)- everything worked perfect and smooth: transfers; flights; camps; Hotel at Dar-Es-Salem.

9 day safari in Mikumi, Ruaha, and Selous National Parks in Tanzania with 4x4 and driver-guide
Two middle-aged couples from Europe. We had high expectations on wildlife sightseeing. The safari (9 days / 8 nights in the parks) met our expectations in terms of diversity, intensity, number of animals seen and of animal species encountered. Our driver-guide Afrael Ngoilale had a huge knowledge about the places we visited, the ecosystem, the animals, and their habits. His everlasting energy to show and explain new things, his availability towards our requests, and his friendly and attentive behavior kept us motivated and interested along the whole trip. Beautiful safari. We recommend it.

One great journey to see the wildebeest migration and river crossing.
Weather in August was perfect, with plenty of animals to watch. Accommodations and food were generally good. Our driver and tour guide was superb. Highlights were the 4 times of wildebeest river crossing we saw during 4-day stay in Mara River area.

Fabulous and Perfect time of the year.
We used Kruger Park Tours, for our Safaris...Johann was our personal Safari planner.
It was perfect from beginning to end.
I specifically like that we stayed at so many different wildlife preserves and accommodations. Living in Tents in different locations, was magical. Safari walks with armed guides was thrilling.
Going to several location every 4 days is perfect.
The differences are amazing and it makes each Safari experience unique.
My favorite was Sabi Sands with Kruger a close runner up
BBQ dinners in the bush with only lanterns for light. And the fire pit glowing.
The most special Safari Camp was Tydon Safari.
We stayed in the main camp for 4 nights, then moved to the Bush Camp. It is limited to 4 tents with private baths. It is located right in the Bush, with wildlife. It is fabulous. They do not allow small children- for safety reasons. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation in the bush camp...grab it.
