A Once In a Lifetime Bucketlist Experience
As others have indicated, for me this was the experience of a lifetime. Augustine and David were exceptional guides. They were able to answer all of our questions and their knowledge of the animals, birds, flora and fauna were amazing. Food and Lodging were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the Simba Lodge. The rooms were lovely and the view with zebras and wildebeests was spectacular. On the cultural side, the visits to the Hadza and Datoga villages gave us a true glimpse into tribal life. I can't say enough about Augustine and David's abilities with their vehicles. We encountered some truly trying driving conditions and came thru with flying colors. Thanks again Aardvark Safaris for a truly amazing experience!!!

My favorite part of our 3 week South Africa vacation
Booking with this company was so easy. They were very responsive through email and answered all the many questions I had. The service was great from transfer to the lodge to the safari itself and everything in between. We had one little hiccup, as we requested a private tour but were placed with other travelers on day 3 of our safari. The guides quickly solved the problem and consolidated other groups so we could have the private safari. Our included night at the Outlook Lodge was so much fun. We were there on Christmas night and enjoyed a delightful dinner with fellow travelers. Francois made our night there super enjoyable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone traveling to Kruger.

Ethical, knowledgeable and trustworthy!
We thought travelling to Africa for the first time (with an 8 year old) would have been a bit daunting - but we were so fortunate to have found Dusty roads.
I can't say enough about the courteous, patient, personal service we received from Mollel and his team.
Further, the accommodations he works with were equally ethical and professional. Every stop we made (whether it was during the game drive or to stop for the night) things just got better and better! We were consistently enjoying amazing food and excellent amenities for our mid-range budget.
Our guide Emmanuel was well matched with us, as he also had kids our daughters age and helped us to locate over 90 species, including the big 5.
Here's the bottom line - this is a new company building their business based on ethics and trust. They are excellent human beings. We trusted them with our safety for 10 days and I wouldn't hesitate doing it again.
You will be better for having travelled to Tanzania and for meeting these people.

Wonderful
It was one of my best experience I've ever made. The organzisation of the safari was excellent and the communication as well. Also the suggested lodges were very good. Best of all was the driver (Justus) who explained and answered to every question. If I would plan a safari in Kenya again I would choose shoortravel once again.

Amazing and safe
A reliable company, good car, kind and prepared guide. We went for a private two people and the mid luxury suggested accomodations; all were well managed, clean and breath taking.
Roads and burocracy in Tanzania don't work well, expect to a not so welcoming experience by governor officiers, but fortunately this Company will take care of everything for you.

Exiting safari tour in North Tanzania and Kilimanjaro expedition
African Wildcats organized for a group of nine people a Kilimanjaro Expedition and a safari tour. Both were well organized. The Kilimanjaro expedition was escorted with a professional and very friendly group of Tanzanian guides and porters. Good food, shelter and medical supervision.
With the safari tour we visited four national parks; Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was an amazing experience. We saw many big animals and birds. The guides leaded us to the right spots, were enthusiastic and could tell a lot of as well the nature as the culture of Tanzania. They selected for us very good lodges. Among them the Kiboko lodge which is part of a social project and runned by formerly homeless kids.

Impeccable, personalized service; knowledgeable guide; highly recommended
Seven By Far Travel may not offer the lowest price for safaris, but it is definitely worth spending a little extra money to go with them. My guide, Nicholas, arrived at my hotel right on time, and we immediately got underway with our safari. The van that we used was reasonably comfortable. As the week progressed, I discovered how knowledgeable Nicholas is about the local flora and fauna. He also has a knack for locating prime spots to find animals. This was evident when he found a pair of leopards. We were able to get close enough that I was able to get some amazing photos.
The accommodations were pretty good. One word of caution though--a lot of safari camps and lodges do not have electricity 24/7. If you need electricity around the clock, be sure to let Seven By Far know before you go, though the camps are good about accommodating this request, if you use a CPAP, for example.
One of the main things that made Seven By Far especially good was that they are flexible. If you prefer a day-long outing instead of two shorter morning and afternoon outings, they will do that, no problem.
Efficient, personalized, and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Seven By Far Travel enough!
