The crew (guide, cook, and two more) were hardworking, professional, and super people.
We were on the 7-day Moremi/Okavango/Chobe safari and it was the travel experience of our lives. The crew (General, Hotata, Kennedy and Howard) were simply wonderful, and friendly and fun to be with. General is a top-notch guide and we especially appreciated his knowledge of birds, not to mention his ability as a tracker, teacher and driver. Hotata's food, all cooked over wood fires in our wilderness campsites, was excellent, and the crew just took care of everything. These national parks are world treasures, a redoubt of the old, wild Africa and a tremendous credit to the people of Botswana. We would recommend this safari to anyone, with the caveat that you must be prepared for camping a bit in the rough and be physically up to long, bouncy rides in the Land Cruiser.

Great Experience in South Africa
The accommodations, food, guides and overall experience were wonderful. I thought spending the first night at the hotel in OR Tambo airport was perfect after our long flights. James met us Wednesday morning after breakfast and drove us to the lovely Equestrian Estate. James was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable and fun to be with.
I LOVED staying at Tshukudu Game Lodge! The entire staff were wonderful, accommodations & food very enjoyable. The best part was the safaris and close interaction with the animals! Our guide, Michael, was so knowledgeable, friendly and an absolute pleasure to be around! We also had the good fortune of going out with Chris on our first morning safari & came across two male lions shortly after they killed a zebra. The lions had full bellies and willing to pose for us while we took hundreds of pictures. I was very sad to leave Tshukudu and say goodbye to our home away from home.
Our accommodations at Ilala Lodge were very nice & comfortable and the grounds/setting were beautiful. We enjoyed the guided walking tour of Victoria Falls and the sunset river cruise.
The trip far exceeded my expectations. I loved So Africa and hope to be able to visit Kenia, Tanzinia and Cape Town in the future.
Thank you all at Touchdown Travel for job well done!

Seven By Far exceeded expectations by far!
From my first contact with Sylvester, I found Seven By Far to be highly responsive in terms of professionalism and communications, as well as also in designing a safari that accommodated my 5-day timeframe and “close to nature” priorities. He quickly developed an itinerary that included Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and at an extremely reasonable cost, especially since I was traveling solo. On the day of departure from Nairobi, Sylvester personally introduced me to my guide, Hassan. With over 10 years of guide experience, Hassan highlighted points of interest along the route west from Nairobi, answered my questions about the people and towns we passed, and also allowed quiet time for me to soak up the boundless scenery. By the time we arrived for lunch at PrideInn Mara, I knew I had found a new friend. Over the next few days, Hassan expertly spotted and taught met about the diverse wildlife on the Mara, ranging from elephants to tiny dung beetles, and patiently waited as I soaked up the experience. Highlight moments: a picnic lunch under a lone acacia tree surrounded only by waving grasses and grazing Thomson’s gazelles, with not another LandCruiser in sight, a beautiful drive to the Sand River at the border with Tanzania, and Hassan’s thoughtful explanation of why ancestral lands are fundamental to Kenyan wellbeing as we drove through Narok. Hassan not only took good care of me, but also the many guides who would stop and ask for his local knowledge, the less experienced guide who needed to be pulled out of a sand trap, the truck full of preserve game wardens who needed a better jack as they struggled to fix a flat tire. In short, Hassan is a terrific guide, with a well maintained/equipped vehicle, and a truly kind person - I could not have been more fortunate. I will definitely look forward to seeing him, along with Sylvester, on my next Kenyan adventure. If you are considering a safari, I highly recommend Seven By Far and Sylvester’s team — and be sure ask for Hassan.

Safari trip of a lifetime!
We did an incredible 8-day safari, tailored for the season and for where the animals would be by Easy Travel.
It was a truly life changing experience and I cannot say enough about Easy Travel and especially our guide, Hubert. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and a wonderful person to get to know over the week. We saw so many animals and he was key in spotting them, bringing us to the right spots at the right time, and helping us get the best views. We had such a fun time and would 100% recommend this trip, Easy Travel, and Hubert to any of our friends back home!
