My first ever safari - expectations exceeded
My sister booked our 6 day safari with Northern Circuit Adventure and dealt with all the communications, and copied me into the many emails exchanged between her and Michael the Director - he was always quick to respond. My sister had been on numerous previous safaris, I had never been on one, but was confident she would choose a reputable company. At the end of our trip she assured me that I now do not need to go anywhere else to have the safari experience as the services offered by Northern Circuit Adventure would be hard to beat! Any expectations I had were exceeded. Michael had given us a warm personal welcome on our arrival at his office and his team of three who accompanied us on our safari, are a credit to him. Our guide proved to be very knowledgeable, confident, passionate and respectful of the wildlife. All team members were extremely friendly and it seemed couldn't do enough to ensure our trip was truly memorable. The food our Cook provided was nutritious, plentiful and there was lots of variety - he amazed us with what he could rustle up over a gas stove! We saw so much wildlife and very close up too, and always felt safe in the jeep with our confident driver/guide. The inevitable jeep problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently, and we never felt we were being "rushed" - our guide was always very obliging enabling us to take as many photos as we wished or allowing us time to just sit and watch quietly for as long as we wanted. I am full of praise for the team and can highly recommend this company as good value for money, well organised and efficient. Thank you for making my first safari experience such a wonderful one!!

Worthwhile Experience
Firstly, it depends on what type of African Safari enthusiast you are. If it's something like this - it has been your lifelong ambition to travel to this part of the world, to see the types of animals that you'll see in their natural habitat - you'll have the time of your life. If you're a more curious or casual observer of the Safari experience, there will be times where you'll find it monotonous and repetitive. As for Image Travel, they were excellent, no question. Tour guides George in Kenya and Mwita in Tanzania were professional, approachable and diligent in their interactions and clearly performed at their maximum to ensure the best possible experience for my partner and I. Re-read the opening sentences if you want an honest appraisal of whether this tour is for you or not, but if you fall into the former category, you'll have no complaints. If you fall into the latter category, you'll have complaints, but not of the service you were afforded.

A lovely,locally based company, that offered value and expertise on all aspects of a safari
Remsi ensured that we booked a safari that suited our needs and budget perfectly, offering alternatives to consider. The accommodation we got was amazing and varied. 1 night in a remote tented camp with massi dancing and the next in a beautiful and luxurious Eco lodge near the crater. The safari was for our group of three and Remsi and the driver, Six, were very knowledgable about where to find all the animals, patient with us at all times and offered lots of conversations about cultural themes on the journey. Very good value and highly recommended.

My Review on Seven By Far Travel Tour Company
I am happy to provide a reference for the Seven By Far Travel, a tour firm I have worked with from 2011. I've known the Director Ken Sila for more than 10 years and find him to be a respectable Manager who runs his firm with integrity and skill. When I wanted 3 years ago, I went to the Seven By Far Travel for all my tour needs.
From setting up my holiday needs to dealing with client issues, the Seven By Far Travel tour company has always been dependable, straightforward and honest. Tour fees can be quite expensive, but the Seven By Far Travel has always been forthright with costs and hours billed, and they've even worked with me on payment arrangements. I'm happy to recommend them to anyone seeking tour guidance for the following reasons:-
1. They acts professionally, are punctual, are organized, are Sensitive to group needs and are Prepared for medical emergencies

8 days from Maun to Vic Falls
We booked a tour of 8 days, from Maun to Vic Falls. Blessing was very friendly, more a driver and organizer than a true tourist guide. He arranged all excursions, obviously with a profit percentage for him, but it's his job. He can arrange your suitable tour but you must have to tell him what is your program.
I can suggest to contact him if you have a clear idea about your trip.

Great trip
My girl friend and I took a private safari with restoration safaris for Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara. Our guide (the owner) Mr Bariki was extremely helpful and well versed with the flora and fauna of the region. The team as Restoration Safaris was extremely proactive and helpful towards delivering on our requirements. Would definitely recommend them to friends.
