Excellent service, amazing experience!
I booked a safari with Hadzabe Safaris a few months before heading there, as I was looking for a complete package from Zanzibar where everything would be taken care of and still fit within my budget. Right away, I got in touch with Herman, and the communication was super friendly and helpful. Everything was arranged, including the flights, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience, like something straight out of National Geographic or a film. I'm so glad I did it, and even more so with Hadzabe, I felt at ease and well taken care of! The guide was so nice and also had so much knowledge to share. I was grouped with a few other girls, which made the experience even more special. Thank you so much for making it all happen!

Trip of a lifetime, made possible by Almighty Kilimanjaro
This was a fantastic trek. I was a solo traveller who was looked after by 7 crew lead by Muntari (head guide), Shabany (Chef) and Amany (my butler). I also hired my own toilet which was carried and cleaned by Nickson. The crew made this journey effortless for me. Shabany and Amany also accompanied Muntari and me to the summit. They truly went out of their way to make sure I achieved my goal of reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro!

Perfect Safari
We had a wonderful safari with Serengeti Wakanda. Our guide Zepha and our chef Dullah were especially great. I'll always remember this vacation.

Amazing safari, great and attentive company and unforgettable experience!
I went for a Kenya and Tanzania 9 days safari with my mom.
Communication with Evelyn was great - she always replied to my emails quickly and with complete answers to my problems.
The first part of the trip was in Kenya and was expedited to local company. First day we needed to get used to how stuff works here - we had some general information of the itinerary and we were quite surprised how everyone knew where to take us, which jeep to put us in, but they didnt tell us exactly what will happen next etc.
In Kenya our driver was Ken - he made us feel safe on the road, was very attentive and tried his very best to accommodate needs of everyone on the jeep! He always cared of the safety in the national park and his driving skills were really amazing us.
Our accommodation in Kenya (Lenchada Camp) we would rate the lowest from the whole trip, but it was okay and the meals they served were very delicious.
We found it quite interesting that almost everyone in our jeep was staying in different accommodation, which was adding to the morning driving time, cause we needed to pick up all other participants.
The game drives itself were really amazing! We saw sooo many animals in Maasai Mara and Ken was so determined to get us to the best spots, we are very grateful for that.
The second part of the trip was in Tanzania and it required coming back to Nairobi and grabbing a local shuttle bus to Arusha, which took 6h including 1h at the border. This was really tiring and the general amount of time we spent in tranzit for this safari is really high, so just take that into consideration when booking.
The safari in Tanzania was amazing: we visited 3 different national parks and saw all the Big Five! Our driver Julius was really great! It took him a bit to open up, but he is an amazing person. He has plenty of experience with the game drives and knows a lot about nature and shared with us lots of interesting information. He dealt very well with one technical problem we had with the jeep and brought us safely to all our destinations, even though the road conditions around Serengeti and Ngorongoro are quite challenging. He was very attentive and tried to make our experience best possible.
Accommodations in Tanzania were great, it was hard for us to select a favourite! Worth mentioning is the Shuhudia camp in the middle of Serengeti - what an experience! Right between nature and all wild animals.
In general we had great time, the organization was really good and smooth, we could fully relax and know that everything is taken care of. The accommodations were definitely a highlight after the safari drives and nature. Be prepared for A LOT of hours sitting in the car/jeep/bus. If I could change one thing, it would be adding a packed lunch for the drives between Arusha and Nairobi, as for us it was very difficult to find some store to get snacks and sometimes drivers didnt really stop for food breaks.
Thank you so much Seven Wonders Safaris! Couldnt ask for a better trip đź’•

Great Safari with Mtinangi
We have seen al the animals we wanted to see. Super friendly and a good sense of humor!
Fearless Francis was fantastic!
We were picked up in Nairobi as planned and felt instantly welcomed by Francis. The Masai safari was next level amazing, and on the first afternoon we were driven to within an arms length of giraffe, lions, zebras, water hogs, elephants, hyenas and jackals. The next day we drove to the Tanzanian border through some really exciting Landcruiser manoeuvres by our expert driver and saw on the way cheetahs, a jaguar and then at the river some
Hippos and crocs. The stillness of the land when parked up watching the animals is breathtaking. The bumpy roads, wind from the fresh air and the excitement of it all is exhausting but so, so worth it. Trip of a lifetime!

The perfect tour
Francis was an amazing tour guide! We saw all the big 5 (minus a rhino). Francis was able to scout out all the animals we wanted to see and was so quick getting us to them before they moved on. He gave us time to take photos and accommodated our every need. He was so friendly and had a great relationship with all the other guides. The camp we stayed in was lovely and had everything we needed for a short stay. The food was tasty and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean.

Amazing Experience with Bugoli Adventures
I had an amazing gorilla trekking experience with Bugoli Adventures! I did the 2-Day Gorilla Trek in Bwindi, with pick up from Kigali. Michael, the owner of Bugoli Adventures, was very helpful and responsive in communicating and answering any questions I had prior to the trip. I also appreciate that he was able to secure me a gorilla trekking permit in less than a week prior to my expected trip, since I booked it late. On the day of the trip, my guide, Silver, picked me up from my hotel and was right on time. Silver was a great guide, and was a very friendly and genuine person. He was also very experienced and knowledgeable. The whole trip went smoothly. They booked a great lodge that provided all the meals during the trip. Additionally, they offered me the option to visit the Batwa pygmies the day before the trek, which I greatly appreciated. The gorilla trek itself (which is operated by Bwindi Forest Park Rangers) was amazing.
What sets Bugoli Adventures apart from other tour companies is its affordability for solo travelers such as myself. Given that the gorilla trekking permit itself costs $800, this is an already expensive tour at baseline. If you directly reach out to Michael/Bugoli Adventures instead of purchasing from GetYourGuide, you can negotiate the cost of the trip by changing some parameters, such as electing to stay at a cheaper hotel. The price I paid was amazing, and what I would have expected if I had split the trip with several people.

Knowledgeable and funny
Very emotional tour leaning about the history of South Africa and its troubles. The visit to the Fort had me in tears. Very humbling to be shown around the settlement
