terrible experience
If I could give zero stars to Kofi travel Safaris, I absolutely would. We rented two vehicles, and it was a complete nightmare from start to finish, with multiple occasions where our safety was put seriously at risk.
Just a sample of what went wrong: one radiator literally exploded (not a hose, the actual radiator), one engine was so cooked it burned one liter of oil per day – we had to buy 5-liter cans and top it up every single morning. The power steering system leaked until it completely failed; after we patched the hose, the pump itself collapsed, leaving the steering unusable again. Driving a Land Cruiser off-road, in mud, without power steering is almost impossible.
One vehicle had a bent wheel from day one, causing constant vibrations that eventually led to a brake system failure and nearly caused an accident. The starter wiring was badly connected and falling apart, then the starter motor itself died. When we opened it, we found it had been beaten with a hammer countless times, clearly a long-term “fix” by someone who knew it was failing.
The documents were inchoerent: the registration showed a different model, and the chassis number was freshly re-stamped. No windshield wipers – and of course, it rained on muddy tracks, turning a defect into a life-threatening situation. Air conditioning didn’t work in one car; in the other, switching it on killed the engine at idle. Cars were advertised as coming with water tanks – neither had one. One fridge didn’t work at all; the other only worked with the engine running, making it useless overnight since food spoiled.
A bumper fell off on a track, the rear shock absorbers lost all bushings and were literally metal on metal, and one roof rack weld snapped twice, forcing us to weld it back in the field.
All of this across just two vehicles. These issues caused multiple dangerous situations and at least two full days lost between breakdowns and repairs.
The company refunded mechanic bills and parts (oil, battery, etc.) but refused to compensate for the lost days, charging us the full rental. After we repeatedly insisted, they offered only a “voucher for a future rental.” Needless to say, there will never be a future rental with Kofi.
This was not just poor service – it was reckless, dishonest, and put our lives at risk. Avoid Kofi at all costs.

Amazing experience with the team
From day one to the end of the Safari, everything was perfect. Halima, my first contact, was incredibly patient and caring. James, who picked me up from the airport, made me feel at home right away, even treating us to roasted corn on the way.
Nestor, my driver and now a friend, went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed every moment.
Travel Africa is truly the best choice — amazing service, great prices, and wonderful people like Halima, James, Nestor, and Muhammad. I’ll definitely travel with them again!

Family like team who takes care of you and enjoys the safari as much as you do yourself
In 2014, I booked a safari with Six and Seven Tours, covering Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. At the time, I wasn’t sure what to expect—my budget was limited, and I worried that affordability might mean cutting corners. But looking back, I can say without hesitation that this was one of the most rewarding trips I’ve ever taken, and much of that was thanks to the professionalism and care of Six and Seven Tours.
Food: In the mornings we got a warm breakfast with eggs and pancakes and some coffee. They made sure we had a good start for the day. We always went straight for the next game drive so we got a big package for Lunch with us. The food was always enjoyable, eaten picnic-style near a hippo pool with a view that felt straight out of a documentary. In the evenings we got another warm meal prepared by our cook and we were always amazed about the range of different menues!
The Safari:
The Lake Manyara National Park is smaller compared to the Serengeti, but it had a surprising variety of landscapes. The birdlife was incredible, and we even managed to spot the park’s famous tree-climbing lions. Our guide from Six and Seven Tours was knowledgeable and patient—he seemed to have an eye for spotting wildlife long before we did, and he explained everything in a way that made the park come alive.
The Serengeti is where the magic really unfolds. I had dreamed about the endless plains for years, but seeing them in person was beyond anything I imagined. Herds of wildebeest and zebra stretched endlessly to the horizon, and we even had close encounters with lions and cheetahs. Six and Seven Tours organized stays in safe camps in the middle of the Serengeti and honestly, falling asleep to the sounds of lions roaring in the distance was something money can’t buy.
Then there was the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Descending into the crater early in the morning, with mist rising off the rim, felt surreal. Within just a few hours, we saw elephants, rhinos, flamingos, and even a pride of lions and their cups. The sheer density of wildlife was astonishing. Once again, our guide made the experience even richer, explaining animal behaviors and the unique ecosystem of the crater.
Six and Seven Tours handled everything for us and made a this trip unforgettable. They kept us safe, informed, and well taken care of. They managed to balance affordability with genuine quality, something I truly appreciated as a traveler who couldn’t afford luxury lodges but still wanted a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Looking back, I’m incredibly thankful to Six and Seven Tours for their service. Their dedication, warmth, and professionalism made me feel like more than just a customer—they made me feel like part of the journey. Even today, years later, I still think back on that trip with gratitude.
If you’re looking for a safari that doesn’t compromise on experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend Six and Seven Tours. They gave me a trip I’ll never forget.

Saw everything I wanted to see
I did the 4 day 3 night Maasai Mara and Nakuru. My guide was Kikitu and I really feel he went out of his way to get us up close to all the animals. He was constantly on the radios talking with other guides who would alert him where to go. The vehicle was comfortable enough. I will admit that the extra day (and extra ~$200 cost) for Nakuru was mostly not worth it. It’s mainly to see the rhino so if you’re reading this weigh the cost. $200 to see the rhino. Some people saw the rhino in Maasai but we did not. The boat ride in Lake Naivasha was def not worth it at all. I paid $20 extra to do it. Absolutely not worth it.
Still I am very happy with the overall experience and my first and possibly only safari. We saw many giraffes, elephants, lions, baboons, zebras, and even saw a cheetah and leopard which are tough to see. Saw some rhinos at Nakuru.
All the accommodations were very nice and the food was fine.

Safari of our dreams - unforgettable experience
In second week of September me and my wife did a 6-day private safari in Tanzania, organized with Samora Explorers from Arusha, and we could not be happier with our experience.
We often organise trips on our own, and so we did this one in Tanzania (we visited Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar in a three week trip). From the very beginning, communication with our contact person Iddy at Samora Explorers was excellent. He was quick to respond, patient with all our questions, and made the whole planning process smooth and trustworthy. I am truly thankful to him for replying to all my messages on Whatsapp.
During the trip, we were guided by Emanuel, who made the safari truly unforgettable. He is incredibly rich with informations about Tanzania’s culture, nature, and wildlife, and he shared so much interesting information throughout the journey. As a driver, he was highly skilled, and from the first day we felt completely safe and comfortable with him. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience—and he succeeded.
The safari itself exceeded our expectations. The landscapes, wildlife encounters, and the overall atmosphere were magical. We liked all the accommodations. Big thing here is also food. You eat it on the road at park picnic sites, but it was always very tasty and kept us strong. A real highlight was the balloon flight over the Serengeti— we experienced true National Geographic like scenes we will remember for the rest of our lives and the perfect cherry on top of an already amazing trip.
We highly recommend Samora Explorers, and we are especially grateful to Iddy for the excellent organization and to Emanuel for being such a fantastic guide. This trip was everything we dreamed of and more.

Trustful service provider
I recently completed the 7-day Lemosho trek with Kisaza, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Frank, was extremely nice, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the journey. He made sure everyone in the group felt safe and comfortable, and he shared so much insight about the mountain and its surroundings. The food on the trek was surprisingly delicious, with hearty meals like pasta, pancakes, chicken, and tasty soups that kept us energized every day. I was especially impressed by how well the meals were prepared despite being on the mountain. The porters were absolutely amazing—so fast in setting up the tents and always ready to help when needed. Their hard work and positive attitude made the trek feel smooth and enjoyable. The team as a whole was incredibly supportive and uplifting, which made the challenging parts of the trek much easier. Reaching each camp felt like coming home because everything was already organized for us. Overall, Kisaza provided a fantastic trekking experience, and I would highly recommend them for anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro.

Professional
We can highly recommend this company! Our guide Jude was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. A man with great contacts and a demeanor that made us feel confident that we were being looked after in the best possible way. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. It was also a positive surprise that the meals were of a good standard and that we had several options to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The highlight of the trip was of course the gorilla safari in Bwindi National Park where we got much closer to the gorillas than we had expected! All the excursions we had were well organized for extremely good experiences and closeness to nature and wildlife.
In Jude we trust!

Tanzania Safari Review: A Masterclass in Wildlife Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall Rating: 5/5
The Guiding Makes All the Difference Our guide, Albert from Gosheni, was the cornerstone of this incredible trip. His tracking skills were phenomenal – he could spot a leopard's tail from hundreds of meters away. More than that, he was a fantastic storyteller, sharing insights into animal behavior and Maasai culture that transformed simple game viewing into a deep educational experience.
The Landscapes: Beyond Imagination
· Serengeti: The sheer scale is humbling. We witnessed the Great Migration, a raw and powerful natural phenomenon.
· Ngorongoro Crater: Descending into the crater feels like entering a lost world. The concentration of wildlife in such a unique geological setting is unbelievable.
· Tarangire National Park: A hidden gem! The ancient baobab trees and massive elephant herds created a uniquely magical atmosphere.
What Surprised Us (The Good Kind!)
1. Flawless Logistics: Every transfer, park entry, and accommodation check-in was seamless. We never had to worry about a thing.
2. Unexpected Luxury: The lodges and tented camps were far more comfortable and luxurious than we anticipated, with amazing food and stunning views.
3. The Sounds: Nothing prepares you for the symphony of the bush at night – from the distant roar of a lion to the whoop of hyenas.
