Bri listened to our requests and gave us a driver, vehicle and programme that suited our needs well.
Enoch was an excellent driver with a comfortable car. He helped me with finding a money exchange to help with the day ahead. We then proceeded to the Meserani Snake Park where I thoroughly enjoyed the informative tour seeing many African snakes, venomous & otherwise, croocodiles and tortoises. The highlight was having a small, non-venomous snake around my neck!
Next door was a Maasai Cultural Display through which we had a fascinating walk. Our guide explained many things about the lifestyle of the Maasai people. There was opportunity to purchase Maasai souvenirs both in the Display Centre and also outside from the ladies in the replica village. Amazing variety, good prices and a calm and uncrowded place to view and make choices in. Better than the busy push and shove of the markets - a better alternative to where I thought we'd have to look for souvenirs so we took the trip to the market off the agenda and spent time here instead!
A delicious, reasonably priced lunch was enjoyed at the Arusha Heritage and Cultural Centre followed by a quick look at some of the artefacts. Not enough time in the day!
Safe drive back through the chaotic afternoon Arusha traffic with a quick visit for me up to the Arusha Clock Tower before returning to the Hotel.
Many thanks to Aquiline Tours for
fascilitating this personalized day out, to Brian who listened and responded to requests and to Enoch who successfullt carried out the plan on the day. Great day, excellent experiences!

We recently completed an 8-day safari with Sandpiper Safaris,
"We recently completed an 8-day safari with Sandpiper Safaris, and it was exceptionally well-organized. Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, where we encountered a remarkable variety of wildlife. Our guide was excellent at spotting animals and was incredibly flexible, accommodating our requests for stops and route adjustments to enhance our experience. Thanks to this tailored approach, we enjoyed a truly memorable safari. We would definitely choose Sandpiper Safaris for any future adventures."

Awestruck by Ian’s knowledge
Ian is the guide of all guides. His knowledge and intense passion about rhino poaching is beyond words. You have to be in his presence to feel it. Mantobo NP was never on my radar of places to visit and now it’s one my top 5 NP favorites. This place will take you back in time when you ride pass these in incredible rock formations. It’s truy a geological wonderland. Love this park and Ian made it even better explaining in great detail about the history of the bushmen as well as the horrors of poaching rhinos which are the most magnificent creatures - literally they are living dinosaurs and MUST be protected in order to survive. Ian is saving the rhino from extinction and we need more people like him!

Super Eagles made my trip near perfect in a budget price range.
When I started searching for the best Wild Safari in Kenya and Tanzania, I found Super Eagles Travels and Tours. I requested free quotation from 3 or 4 travel agents and I got the first reply from Mr. Chanson of Super Eagles. Then I asked him about one trip to meet my expectations. I realized his sincerity in the job. Total trip went on well without any difficulties.

Friendly, professional and fast communication.
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari with Seven Wonders Safari for our honeymoon, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized. One aspect that really made the difference was our amazing driver, Hozza.
Hozza was more than just a guide; he was a wealth of knowledge and a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation. His deep understanding of the local ecosystem and his ability to spot animals from afar made each game drive incredibly exciting and educational. Whether it was tracking a pride of lions or finding a hidden leopard, Hozza had an impressive knack for finding the most elusive wildlife and sharing fascinating insights.
Beyond his professional expertise, Hozza was incredibly personable and attentive. He made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip, always going the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience. His enthusiasm and dedication were evident in every interaction, and his friendly demeanor made the long hours on the road enjoyable.
The safari vehicles provided by Seven Wonders Safari were like all the other safari jeeps we saw, offering excellent visibility and comfort, which was crucial for long drives and bumpy terrain. The company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism was also apparent, and it added a meaningful layer to our adventure.
Overall, if you’re looking for an exceptional safari experience with a knowledgeable and passionate driver, I highly recommend Seven Wonders Safari. It was truly unforgettable, and we can’t wait to go on another adventure with them in the future!

Hermosa Life was super easy to work with and made sure we had an amazing trip to Rwanda!
My wife and I had an amazing visit to Rwanda with Hermosa Life. They organized our gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, canoeing on the Twin Lakes, and city tour of Kigali. Hermosa Life was very easy to work with and always responded quickly and clearly to emails. They made the logistics stress free, and Augustine was a great guide who always made the effort to give us interesting local experiences. Definitely recommend working with Hermosa Life for your Rwanda trip!

This was my second trip with them and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!

The perfect mix of expertise, customer orientedness and quality
Feedback to Bev Miller and colleagues : THANK you for the unforgettable experience you gave us with this magnificent travel arrangement. It will be a lifelong highlight for me as long as my brain will work properly.
A nice compliment to Trevor who helped the full day Kruger safari to become an unforgettable birthday.
Specifically to Bev : you are the BEST person who crossed our path during our wonderful South Africa trip. Hannah and I will always remember your friendliness and how your arrangements and efforts were targeted and did contribute to our joy of travelling through your country.
Feedback to Zarafa (if you want to pass it on) : very nice setting and environment.
Enough space, beautiful accomodation, coffee and tea available.
Barry was very welcoming and friendly.
We received a very nice breakfast and lunch box for the full day Kruger safari, very much appreciated.
Some minor attention points :
- I would have loved a table in the (spacious sleeping) room to sit at, and to arrange my papers and read
- I missed a good reading lamp at the bedside
- Several power sockets were not easily accessible
Feedback to Umkumbe River Lodge (if you want to pass it on) : nice and professional welcome by our guide Shannon who looked after us during our stay.
The 'Buffalo' lodge was big, nice and clean. Coffee and tea available.
The careful arrangement of the mosquito nets was appreciated.
The safari drives with Shannon were excellent (4 x leopard, pangolin !).
Good meals : lunch, BBQ diner and buffet breakfast.
Beautiful river view at the restaurant.
Some minor attention points regarding the lodge :
- The outside shower was difficult (temperature either too cold or too hot, balance was difficult)
- WiFi in the lodge would have been appreciated
- International power socket would have been nice
