2 day tour in Amboseli
We had a 2 days tour in amboseli from Nairobi. the tour was really nice and everything that was promised when we booked. we managed to see a lot of animals and our driver was very knowledgeable (John).
Don't underestimate the drive when you go there from Nairobi, it's pretty long especially if you arrive back in Nairobi around 5-6pm when the trafic is crazy. The Lodge where we stayed was amazing, Kibo Safari Camp (we enjoyed a lot the staff and the swimming pool).

Great Customer Service from all the staffs of the company from management to guides / driver.
I appreciate the flexibility and quick response from the management of Seven By Far Travel, especially from its Managing Director, Mr. Sylvester Sila. And they really go out of their way to give that extra service to clients. Although there are some glitches but the way Mr. Sila goes out of his way to make his clients feel special more than make up for those glitches.
Thank you to our safari driver/guide Mr. Ashton, his patience and quick eye made our safari special and worth every money spent on our safari tour. We saw all the big five, unfortunately wasn't able to capture shots of the leopard, perhaps in my next trip. Our group was very lucky, we saw a lot of animals crossing the road , especially in Amboselli National park, from a herd of elephants, to zebras, wildebeest , impala , gazelles , ostrich , baboons in just a day of game drive. We were also lucky to witness a pack of hyenas in action, hunting its prey (baby water buffalo) at Lake Nakuru , and how the buffalo mamas came running to help the baby buffalo , albeit too late already , followed by the whole herd of buffalos. Then, there's also the rare event of witnessing a pair of mama rhinos with their baby rhino crossing the road. Lions , cheetah, vultures , on chow time , chomping thru the carcass of its prey. Everybody in our group feels lucky to be able to witnessed all these animals in their natural environment. The hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara followed by a buffet breakfast on the savannah plains with a herd of wildebeest in our background is awesome! Truly, the African Safari in Kenya is an experience one shouldn't missed in this lifetime. And having Seven By Far Travel made all these possible is the best decision I made.

Great experience
We booked a four day safari (lake manyara, ngorongoro & serengeti) with meru slopes! The guide did his best to spot all the animals and always gave us first-row views. The cook's food was very tasty, and the campsites were a great experience (who experienced sleeping between the monkeys and other wildlife ?!) but very basic (especially night 2 and 3). Meru slopes is highly recommended, definitely worth the price you pay! One note of criticism: the communication of the organisation is sometimes lacking. For instance, at the time we left the hotel to go on safari they informed us we could only take one piece of luggage because there wasn't enough space for two pieces of luggage. If we knew that beforehand, we could have mixed our clothes the evening before we left.

Excellent accommodation, food and game viewing.
I went with Transek Safaris to four parks in Kenya. Daniel organised a private safari for me to suit specific dates and this was very satisfactory. Peter our guide and driver was very obliging and was able to locate all the game I wanted to see including the black rhino and elusive leopard in Masai Mara. Altogether a very enjoyable experience.

Safari visits, transportation etc were very good, but camp facilities were very below average
We were a group of 8 family members. The Planning Phase of the tour was good with proper communication from the team . The Safari rates were reasonable. The Airport pick up and the transport arrangement from Nairobi to Massaimara was very well coordinated. The game drives were also very well coordinated and we got opportunities to see many animals. Driver took special interest to take us all around.
However, the condition of the accommodation provided in the Camp in Massaimara was very primitive. Though the camp is well laid out, it was very over crowded and the staff found it extremely difficult to serve food properly. The individual tents were very poorly maintained, especially the 4 tents we got. The furniture including the cot was in bad shape, the bathrooms were not clean, flush was getting blocked, there was a bad stench during night in that part of the camp. All these were reported to the notice of Mr. Joseph in the camp who apparently was in charge of accommodation. He managed to change the cot but nothing more could be done though we requested for a change of tent that was not possible due to the large number of guests in the camp.
I personally feel a lot could be improved in the tents like, clean toilets and drainage, a mirror in the bathrooms, functional water taps, some toiletries like soap shampoo etc. There is definitely a need to check the condition of cots in each of the tents.
It will be Wonderful if a small cultural show by the local folks are organized every evening near the camp fire area. That can make the evenings lively and memorable. There is also a need to improve the food quality. All these may be facilitated to the customers even if it is at the cost of 10 or 20 USD more on package cost. These small deficiencies negatively impacted the overall experience which otherwise was a wonderful Safari at a moderate price.
