excellent!
Faustin was very nice. He was friendly, we went on a nice spice tour, we saw the adorable monkeys. He took us all around and made everything convenient and easy. He even set us up with his brother to take us around Dar es Salaam during a long layover, so we got to see a bit of the city. I was just looking at our pictures the other day. My 2 daughters with me also really enjoyed the tour of Zanzibar. Faustin was great, he was recommended to us by someone else and I'm so glad we had him to show us around.

Excellent service ensuring a great safari experience and more
I would like to thank Sylvester at Seven by Far and our guide Hassan for a great safari experience in Amboseli recently. We wanted/needed to make some changes to our itinerary just before and during our safari trip and the company responded to this in a most flexible and service minded way which ensured that we had a great few days with them. Hassan was a pleasant and knowledgeable guide throughout our stay in Amboseli as well as during our last afternoon in Nairobi. We can warmly recommend booking a safari trip with Seven by Far.

AA Safaris & Tours - 2 week wildlife adventure
My sister-in-law and I returned home 2 weeks ago from our wonderful dream of a lifetime adventure. It all stated with communications with Sydah who looked after getting us organized with all the information for immunizations, currency, dos and don'ts. Thanks Sydah you really helped us get it together. And then there was Joseph, our guide, who met as at Entebee with a big smile and huge welcome after our 2 days of flying to get there. Throughout the whole 2 weeks we couldn't have asked for anything better. Joseph looked after our every need, want and desire and kept us and our belonging safe. We were never worried or concerned about anything. Joseph is very knowledgeable about the country, each Kingdom, the wildlife and birds. We saw and did more than we could have wished for. Joseph helped us with exchanging our money, getting our phone, sims card and figuring our how to make phone calls home. He gave us tips on what to eat and what to stay away from. Advised us when it was okay to take photos of people and when it was not - very helpful. We even stopped at the Rino sanctuary which was not on the itinerary which is really a must go to. Each wildlife game ride was exciting, beautiful and educational. We also did the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi. I was a difficult trek in the forest but with the experienced guides and highly recommend porters we got to see and sit with the Gorillas for an hour. After leaving Bwindi and getting to QE park I realized I had left some valuables in Bwindi, Joseph was immediately on the phone and organizing getting it to Kampala so I could get it back before leaving for home. Amazing! Never expected him to do that and never thought it possible but he made it happen. The people of Uganda are beautiful, welcoming and just plain sweet! Thank you Joseph for being such an amazing host and making our time so remarkable and unforgettable.

wildlife galore
We had a great time on safari with Micky and Gabriel. They picked us up in Daar e Salam and drove us to Selous game park. We were on a tight budget so we slept in tents in a campground just outside the park. Micky cooked us 3 meals a day which were delicious! We spent all day in Selous and saw all the animals we could imagine, even the rare wild dogs. Grassroots was great and excellent value. They were very flexible and happy to stay as long as we wanted in the park. I would recommend them.
Fantastic first African Safari experience!!
This was my first ever safari and my first trip to Africa, and I was travelling alone, so was unsure what to expect. From the moment I arrived at Nairobi airport and met our Somak representative, I was put at ease by his friendliness and professionalism. We did an 8 day Cheetah safari and moved around from camp to camp - our driver was so knowledgeable about the animals and the African terrain and I learnt so much from him. He was very conscientious and always "went that extra mile" which resulted in us seeing some rare sights and occurrences. The accommodation was very comfortable and some of the camps were luxurious! The people of Kenya are lovely, smiley people and I can't wait for my next trip to Africa!! I would thoroughly recommend Somak for your safari.

Amazing, gorgeous, fun trip with guide who knows what he's doing
I have been to Kenya three times and each time I relied and was never disappointed by African Servalcat Safaris.
My first trip to Kenya and my first experience was back in 2011, in 2012 I was there briefly as I had some volunteerwork to do and my third time I asked Sylvester and Benson to take me to the Steiner school where my foster angel is now living.
Service was excellent from the first email!
The entire trip was well organised, we didn't have to worry about anything. Benson, our guide was fantastic! Not only was he very knowledgable but when he didn't know he did his best to look things up in his or my little book. What I really appreciated was his willingness to do a lot for his customers bUT with respect for nature and animals! While other guides/drivers would drive in the long high grasses to overpass other busses Benson told us he wouldn't do that as there could be many animals there int he grass that would be disturbed or killed by us driving there! Respect!!
So from day one until the day we left we never had any complaints.
One thing you should bare in mind when you do a driving safari is that distances can be far and driving can take up a lot of hours..and the roads are def not European or American standard roads :)
But that's all part of the experience right!
We went to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Tsavo West and Amboseli.
Second trip June 2012
As always everything the entire trip was organized well so that I really could enjoy my trip. My guide/driver Justus took me everywhere safely (white woman travelling alone) and was knowledgeable of all the places we drove through and saw.
I visited Sweetwaters tented camp and Ol Pejeta, went to the Nairobi National Park and Sheldrick elephant orphanage as well as worked for a local orphanage, Mama Tunza Childrens Home.
I could count on Sylvester (owner) assistance whenever needed as well!
And third time was a quicky but Sylvester and Benson stood by me.
During my previous trips my heart was captured by a beautiful orphaned angel who than lived at the Mama Tunza Childrens Home.
I know got her into the Steiner School and Sylvester en Benson joined me as she knew both of them from the orphanage.
Went to Kenya the first time to go on a trip with a local touroperator but left with a good rafiki!

An Everlasting Memory
We are now back at home for several weeks but our minds are still in the beautiful Kenyan National Parks with their amazing wildlife (Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli). Our safari was perfectly organized by Sylvester and our driver/guide David was not only knowledgeable but also very friendly and accomodating. Whenever we liked to stay a bit longer somewhere he just waited until we were ready to move on. He even made our game drives a bit longer than other drivers. The Sopa Lodges we chose as accomodation were really nice and comfortable, but their locations are just a bit offside from the main animal spotting areas. Although the roads within the NPs as well as some roads outside are really bumpy, it is still manageable to go by van (instead of a jeep).
When we were planning our safari Sylvester was very helpful, and he even re-scheduled our originally booked Kenya/Tanzania safari at a later stage to a safari just within Kenya. We met him twice at the beginning of our tour as well as at it's end when he sat down with us and asked us about our trip experiences in detail and feedbacks respectively.
All in all we had an unforgettable safari that was worth the time and money we spent!! From the very beginning we had a good feeling about Sylvester and African Servalcat Safaris and it came fully true. We thank Sylvester and David for making our holidays an everlasting memory!!!

Fantastic once in a life time experience!
This is the first online review I have ever completed but the experience we had on our 3 day Etosha tour was so great that I had to share it. We looked at several places but chose Wild Wind Safaris because it was the best price and we had limited funds. We really felt we got value for money. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, Philip was so knowledgable, he had interesting facts about just about everything and was great company on the road. He clearly knew his way around the park very well as he was able to take us to see many of the animals we wanted to see at places he had seen them before. He made us feel at ease right from the start and we felt very safe during the whole experience as he always took precautions around the larger animals, which we noticed some other tour operators neglected to do. The place he booked for us to stay in Etosha was also fantastic. The room was so nice that it felt a shame that we spent most of our time out in the park or at the waterhole which was seconds away from our front door! The food there was great too and all included in the price, we spent the whole weekend over-eating as we couldn't resist getting second helpings. We would strongly recommend this trip to anyone travelling to the area and would choose Wild Wind Safaris again if we wanted to go on any further tours whilst in Namibia.
