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.

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.

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).

Amazing country, more than just the big five
We went to Tarangire park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti park, Ngorongoro crater, (and we ended our trip in Zanzibar).
Every single places we visited has different features, each places amazed us. We never get bored from the sceneries. We saw a lot of beautiful animals, not only the big five.. but also many beautiful birds (small & big). We were surrounded by various mammals and birds. Animals walks around and do their usual activies and completely ignore the human. We were also so lucky to also spot reptiles (like agama lizard, monitor lizard, pink spitting cobra, leopard turtle).
We stayed in lodge, and camp/tent, were great. We ate very good food. The touristic places has good facilities. Clean toilet in all parks with running water. Nothing to complain! Guides are knowledgable and friendly.
Zanzibar is such a beautiful small island surrounded by torquise water. We did Blue Safari, worth to do! Doing walking tour in Stone Town is also recommended.
Tanzania has many beautiful souvenirs. But, most of the shops do not put the price tag, the seller decide the asking price (much overpriced) the time you ask for it. So, we personally found it irritating to bargain for a descent price (not too cheap, but also not a rip-off).
Overall, we have a beautiful unforgettable memory of Tanzania trip
